Criteria to Determine the Authenticity of an Astrologer
A genuine astrologer possesses a combination of knowledge, experience, ethics, and predictive accuracy. Here are the key factors to assess authenticity:
1. Deep Knowledge of Astrology 📚
- A true astrologer studies Vedic astrology, planetary movements, divisional charts (D9, D10, etc.), transits, and dashas.
- They should understand different astrological systems like Parashari, Jaimini, KP Astrology, and Nadi Astrology.
2. Experience & Accuracy in Predictions 🎯
- Years of practice in making accurate predictions.
- Ability to connect past events with planetary positions.
- Explains why a prediction may partially or fully manifest.
3. Uses Personalized Birth Chart Analysis 🪐
- Avoids generic sun-sign-based predictions.
- Considers exact birth date, time, and place to create a detailed horoscope.
- Uses divisional charts (D9 for marriage, D10 for career, etc.) for deeper insights.
4. Explains Predictions Logically 🏛️
- A genuine astrologer explains planetary influences instead of making vague statements.
- Should be able to tell which planet and transit is affecting a particular event in life.
5. Ethical & Honest Approach ⚖️
- Avoids fear-based tactics (“You have a terrible dosha, pay for pujas!”).
- Provides practical remedies rather than expensive gemstone-based solutions only.
- Does not guarantee unrealistic results (e.g., “You will become a millionaire in a month”).
6. Strong Intuition & Analytical Skills 🔥
- Apart from technical astrology, intuition plays a role.
- Good astrologers have a sharp analytical mind and can connect planetary influences with real-life events.
7. Testimonials & Word of Mouth 👥
- Check reviews from real clients.
- An astrologer with a strong reputation and repeated clients is usually reliable.
8. Prediction Techniques Used 🧮
- Dasha System (Vimshottari, Yogini, etc.) – Checks planetary time periods.

- Divisional Charts (D9, D10, etc.) – Deep analysis of marriage, career, etc.
