Guys, your site honestastrologer.com turns nine years this year. When I launched it in 2016, it was on a very auspicious day — Navami and Dussehra falling on the same day. Being a devotee of Ma and Sai Baba, it was an extremely special and auspicious day for me. I felt blessed, but at the same time, I was nervous. I had already resigned from my job, and though I had some plans, but had never thought about becoming a full-time astrologer. Destiny had other plans.

As luck would have it, in 2016 I started this as a hobby and a charity. I thank my friends and spiritual guide who encouraged me to expand this endeavour, and take it up as full-time work.

Some clients started to come from some social media platforms, and I could see that I was on the right track. Then, the Gods blessed me one night.

I woke up early in the morning and wrote an article on Ketu Mahadasha, which made me who I am today. Even today it is right there on the top of Google first page, getting me my daily bread. Later, my article on Rahu Mahadasha also went viral. It took me two more years to write the Shani Mahadasha article, and as you know, Shani is never easy. But it was worth the wait, and by the time it was on Google first page, I had a waiting list of clients.

In my Shukra dasha sandhi, I went through a difficult time when I became a victim of an IT scam. My website, something that was my bread and butter, collapsed, just disappeared. I was shocked and inconsolable. But like most things that happened in dasha sandhi, there was something good that came out of it. I had to revive up my long dormant youtube channel.  

Thankfully, YouTube helped me grow — from just “friends and family” subscribers to more than 20,000 subscribers in three years. I am truly grateful to you all for helping me reach this point.

Looking back, it feels like a dream. From a collapsing corporate career that furstrted me into diseases to doing what I love for a living. Ketu Mahadasha period give me a new birth, a new identity. That’s how G Vijay Kumar was born — my chosen name, a tribute to my father — and today I proudly answer to it.

I feel overwhelmed by the love, support, and blessings I have received, the wonderful friendships I’ve formed, and the beautiful clientele I’ve been fortunate to serve. Every single day, I thank Baba and Ma for guiding me on this path.

Honest Astrologer is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I hope I continue to receive your love and support.

G. Vijay Kumar
