Your website is excellent. Thank you, iam learning. Your website has been an amazing source of wealth for our family. By taking concepts that our grandparents could never explain, and distilling them into manageable pieces, you have opened up a whole new world for us. " The reason I want a reading from you specifically is because your material on your website is so academic and comprehensive. I can't believe what I have learned as a Jyotisha student. You have definitely been given the proper knowledge and you are blessed with Satya. There are very few books out there that compare to your site. I look forward to the reading." I find the site so beautiful that it looks like a sort of " sanctuary" or an ancient museum - like every nakshatra page were a different room, with the differents objects / meanings / learnings around it.

I’ve visited your site for a couple years now and have always learned something new or come away with some sort of peace from having gained a greater understanding of Vedic literature and outlook. It's especially refreshing given how good a teacher/communicator you show yourself to be through what you've published online. Keep up the GREAT work - and thanks so much again.

I thoroughly loved your reading of my chart. I wanted to thank you for the beautiful reading. It was a work of art and was very useful. I have listened to it 3 times. Likely will listen many more times. Each time there are nuances that I pick up. " I am only a beginning student of Jyotisha. I think I have learned more from reading your website than from many books. I really appreciate your viewpoint and all the helpful case studies." ~~ Boston, mass.

" I found your website last year (via Google of course) and have learned a lot about Vedic astrology from your website. I especially appreciate the sensitivity and spiritual perspective with which you write." I bow to you Guru Maa on this auspicious Guru Purnima day I hope you're doing good. It's been like few months I am really into Vedic Astrology and been looking for quality articles everywhere. Since last July I have been frequently visiting your website and I really love reading what you've so far published in your website. I have seen number of astrologers doing channel in Youtube and they're really doing good. After visiting your website I thought if you had your own channel on Youtube but I guess not. I really love the way you express and entertain your readers with deep knowledge of Astrology and I really want to see you soon in Youtube. Please give it a thought because Vedic astrology beginners really need someone like you. Barbara's reply: Namaste , Thanks for your nice note about making Jyotisha instructional videos for YouTube. That is a great idea! Although I have planned a series of Jyotishavidya case studies that could easily be presented on video, I would need help to materially produce nice quality videos that were - as you say - educational and entertaining. As a college teacher, I know that many people are visual learners who prefer the video delivery method; for them it is much easier than reading linear text. I myself continue to learn so much from the wonderful history and language videos on YouTube - with new ones seemingly posted every day. YouTube is a fantastic global resource! Yet while I'm quite willing to teach on video, this elder lady doesn't Yet, have video production skills. I'd need technical help to create nice quality products. My goal would be to produce a series of case studies that covered for each case all 12 bhava and a brief look at the vimshottari dasha + navamsha. And as with the writings on barbarapijan.com, i'd like to continue to provide internet access to all public materials, free of charge. Perhaps this vision can manifest soon. Right now it's just a great idea waiting to blossom! Thanks again for your lovely compliments and suggestions, Sincerely, BPL Thank you very much for reading. That's very intense, eye opening and valuable. You are epic human being! I have been a great fan of your Approach towards Astrology and the work that you keep doing. Thank you very much for your guidance and nice explanation, barbara! I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you I found your readings to be incredibly insightful & valuable. Thank you very much for spending the time to make such a comprehensive recording. I do not have any follow up questions at this time, but will surely reach out for additional Jyotisha services in the future! Thank you again I have learnt a lot from your web-site and deeply impressed by the way you have said about Seva/Puja/Remedies. We have just started a study group here in London... I am a huge, huge fan of yours and all the wisdom and experience on your site is fantastic. Your insights into the Rahu-Ketu dashas and their significance in the chart is priceless! I am completely enamoured. I have been reading your website and articles in very details and I must say that as a foreigner you do a pretty good job ! I would like to wholeheartly thank you for sharing such a wonderful and easy to read astrology website. I would like to express my deep gratitude for your efforts. thank you from the core of my heart for sharing your knowledge and wisdom for all of us. Your explanation makes complete sense. I have learned a lot from your site. In return i will only give you my best wishes and hope you will continue to share your knowledge and wisdom in future. Once again, iam so grateful for all the work you've shared and the amount of time and effort you put into making all this knowledge available to students like me all over the world. It's incredibly kind and generous. I've learnt so much. Thank you! thank you very very much for the fantastic reading Thank you so much for creating your wonderful website- it has been a guiding presence in my life. Barbara: I was fortunate enough to find your beautiful and fascinating website early in my studies. The more I " travel" the Astrological skies, the more my appreciation for its well-tended but exotic pages grows. You also made me a better writer. I never start a sentence, now, without a small voice inside my head, reminding me of the confident and lively sentences that rival the great art and natural scenes that share the pages. I agree with the other commentators who review your work. You are a living treasure of Astrology and your site is a masterwork. I have been unemployed for two years because of illness, but start work again Jan. 2. I plan to make regular donations to your work. ... Thank you again, and I hope 2017 is the greatest year ever for you. Your guidance has been very helpful. Dear Barbara: Many thanks for your wonderfully insightful and eloquent reading. I stayed up late last night mesmerised by your articulate and rich commentary. There is a certain warmth and "purity" to your reading that is very, very striking and powerful. ~~ London, chennai I wanted to thank you for your amazing website. Your insight and wisdom is such a gift to me. I will forever be grateful for your generosity in making this available to students of Jyotisha. ... your reading was excellent. You seem to truly enjoy delving into the complexities of the charts in order to understand human beings. Thank you! BPL reply: Thanks for your nice compliments! Yes, iam a huge fan of Earth Humans. In fact, ifind them so engagingly interesting that I decided to stop being a tourist and just become one! you are a gift... Im sure you heard that a ton of times, but you have helped me spark my light Your readings are the highlight of our year. thanks for the very well informative readings. I've already listened to them few times. Everything is so beautifully explained. Thanks heaps for the insight. I've read the nakshatras descriptions of your site and I found them simply amazing. They are very complex and remarkably assertive, i've never read before astrological descriptions with which I could identify so much. Are the texts all written by yourself? [BPL reply: yes, except where another authority is explicitly cited, the nakshatra text, and all other text on barbarapijan.com, is written by me.] I would like to ask about one thing. Me and my wife we have both identified much with both our Moon - Nakshatra and South Node - Nakshatra. We have identified in such an extent to find your site really great. But I don't have the same identification about other planets - I feel it can be right, but not as clear and pervading as with the Moon and South Node. Is this normal? Also, do you think it's ok to read the positions about the South Node? Cause for myself it worked amazingly, but I don't know if it should be read for Moon only. Good wishes from Brazil I just saw you have on the site this part: " Surya in 27 Nakshatra (coming soon)" I'll be waiting to read all those! Your general descriptions of the Nakshatras, in my opinion, seem to work by themselves perfectly and impressively well for Candra and Ketu. And the Candra in Nakshatra seems to work for Ketu well, ijust add a " less emotional/sensitive" interpretation of it. I have been reading and studying your website on Vedic astrology. It's allowed me to gain much insight and understanding about human relations and the world. this website has been the best source of jyotish information reference online for just about a long as i remember researching online about jyotish information. [the reading] is so abundant with insight and information and I want to thank you again very much for it. Your site has ... been a great resource for me to learn about my own birth chart. My sincere gratitude to you for your work. I am a student of jyotish for the past 1 year and have referred to your website extensively for my studies. I could not have learnt so much in this field without your website and your amazing insight. ~~Indonesia I have been reading your articles for years and am such a fan of your in depth, insightful research. Please continue to do your work and know that even your more general articles on healing and forgiveness are helping others on the other side of the screen. The one on forgiveness has recently helped me tremendously on pain that I could not seem to let go of until reading the part about acceptance that we are all flawed imperfect beings. I was finally able to release and truly forgive. Thank you for sharing your article.
Once again thank you for the reading . My mother is really grateful towards you . She told me to tell you that you're a gem , avery rare authentic talent indeed ~~ New Zealand I'm a regular reader-follower of your profoundly knowledgeable Jyotish Vidya writings, and I love the way you approach, present, and share it! Thank you very much for your good work!
Hello Barbara, iLIKE your website. thank you very much for that wonderful reading! I have gained so much from listening to your recordings. It left me with absolutely no questions. I deeply appreciate your support and the truely amazing reading. Such great insight. I feel so blessed to have come across such an amazing lighthouse of knowledge as yourself. Knowledge of this level is so precious ... have followed your site for years now, reading several pages, many more than once ... thank you, thank you, thank you eternally and may you be showered in light. I have been following your website for the past one year and the inputs are really impressive. I could understand and what interested me the most is- unlike other astrologers, your readings are not just a say of the past or possible future, but you seem to personally journey into one's future as well and effectively suggest with a possible remedy. based on which, one can either mend or live strong with their inabilities/ in capabilities. I really appreciate all the information you've provided on the website, its made my life a little bearable knowing that it's not all my fault. Barbara, i'm very happy with the reading you delivered for our little family. I found the reading very insightful. As you know we've had some upsets and sudden changes these past two years. It's comforting to know that the dasha periods confirm the shocks in our recent past while they also predict a more gentle future. I felt very much in harmony with your interpretations and found myself nodding my head a lot while listening to the reading. Thank you for confirming in detail (what intuitively I always knew) that all will be well in the greater plan. ~~ Missouri I feel like miracle now to find your site, everything is here for learning, naice and exciting to think about it! thanking you a student the very magnitude of your seva in sharing the light with the world proves to be no less than a heavenly angelic force at work, and indicates the ocean of generosity ... I can only imagine how many more around the world like me might have benefited from your extensive sharing of the Vidya ... The best thing I have learned from you is the importance of Seva. The BEST thing. ~~Admirer from NY. I love your website. I am a beginner in jyotisha and want to thank you for the immense knowledge you have given through the website. From: Sathya Maharajh [mailto:sathya.maharajh@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, september 12, 2017 5:25 Aam To: bpijanlamajyotisha@msn.coam Subject: Your Website for Vedic Astrology Hello Ms. Barbara, I have been researching astrology for several years, and have noticed that you have quite a lot of information on your website. It's great to see that you have put in a solid effort in constructing your website as the website is a broad source of information. A small suggestion: why don't you get your website reviewed by an experienced astrologer? This would ensure that the information is correct and coherent, and this may prevent the public from being misled on certain points. One great astrologer is Sanjay Rath, and it was only after I started to research his work that I realized that most of the websites on Vedic astrology are somewhat misleading. However, it is great to know that information on Jyotish is becoming more available for those wanting to learn. Thanks kindly, sathya Maharajh ********* BPL REPLY: Namaste Sathya Maharajh,
The insinuation that one Jyotiṣika’s work is inferior to
another's is a form of bullying.
Within
the ever-expanding corpus of modern interpretations of the samayavidya,
all
working members of the international Jyotisha community are making valuable
contributions.
If you have a
preference for a certain school of thought or particular variety of
interpretive analysis,
please invest the effort to document,
describe,
and
publish your own work.
Do not resort to
bullying others who may hold diverse views.
Please promote your own
evidence-based interpretations in a
collegial,
respectful fashion.
Take into consideration that many worldwide
practitioners have decades of translation,
interpretation,
and divinatory
experience,
perhaps far exceeding the depth of your own expertise.
The international community of
Jyotisha practitioners indeed benefits from increased scholarly
participation,
improved access to sources,
and critical discourse.
However,
there is no excuse for insulting the work of others.
Wishing you and your family every happiness, healing from sorrow,
guidance by inner light,
and success in all of life’s endeavors,
Sincerely,
Barbara Pijan Lama, Jyotishavidya …..thank you for the incredible body of work. May you be in state of perpetual bliss and continue to share this compassion and wisdom with all! I am deeply grateful for your clear explanations. It is reassuring to know I can welcome the challenges of life and learn from them. just finished listening to the readings and wanted to thank you for the depth and details within them. It has been a long wait, but this is well worth the wait Thank you so much ... for your time and really enjoy reading your website and appreciate the time you have spent on it for everyones benefit. My husband has spoken of all the wonderful insights he got from the reading years ago. Now I am ready for my own reading.
I earnestly admire your fathomless depth of knowledge in the divine field of age-old Vedic Astrology. I educated myself a lot through the in-depth knowledge you share on your website barbarapijan.com ...for the sake of your legions of indebted admirers, followers and students like me ... I am forever indebted. ~~ Agartala, tripura, India Big, big fan of your site. I have been reading it for a few years now, and I have learned so much from browsing it. I have a big interest in astrology although I have never done a formal course/certification. I have a deep sense of respect for you due to the depth of knowledge of the subject and your guidance on topics that affect human lives. Thank You and Thank You again! I am most appreciative of your kindness and spiritual knowledge that has guided me through the years. This is most helpful and encouraging. Thank you so much. Your insights, clarity, and encouragement are more deeply appreciated than you can know. It has been many years since I got my first and only reading. It helped me immensely and I am still reaping its benefits. Thank you so much for the detailed reading ... I found it incredibly powerful, useful and illuminating. ... continue to find more and more nuances, and several pauses for self reflection. I will cherish this and this will certainly continue to be a guide for me. Your inter-disciplinary approach to Jyotish is incredibly refreshing and quite uncanny. This is a thank you letter. Thank you for sharing this knowledge, ideeply appreciate it. Sincerely I do not agree with your interpretations, especially those that you have derived from scriptures and interpreted them according to your western thoughts and beliefs including your strongly held feminist views. Perhaps, it is only applicable to western minds and Unfortunately, it seems like the rest of the world wants to follow in its foot steps. When I read your writings, it feels to me that they are the result of your planet placements in your own chart which is enforcing you to have biased viewpoints. You are missing the Truth (on many occasions) in my opinion. (BPL reply) Namaste Raghav Tejasvi
I look forward to reading your public writings that express your interpretations and views. I presume that by offering the (above) critique you are suggesting a preference for an alternative Jyotisha viewpoint? Please provide the link to your website or blog where you are offering your philosophical perspective and the supporting data from your empirical research studies.
International Jyotishavidya
provides a very interesting discourse environment.
There is room for many diverse perspectives and diverse modes of applying the core principles of the samayavidya.
Thanks for being part of this educated conversation. As a member of the international Jyotisha community,
ilook forward to reading your writings.
Wishing you and your family every happiness, healing from sorrow, guidance by inner light,
and success in all of life’s endeavors,
Sincerely,
barbara Pijan Lama, Jyotishavidya I offer you my respects and send you love You are a GEM and an absolute BLESSING. I admire your lovely way of speaking. Thank you for sharing all of this beautiful knowledge. The extensive rectification and reading provided me with a lot of material for self-reflection and for review of self-perception and of perception of others thank you for the dense research shared on your website I saw the Eric Clapton horoscope and wanted to thank you very much! May all good things come to you! Good luck with Jyotisha. May you prosper endlessly. We wanted to say " thank you" to express how grateful we are to you for your help and support. This woudn't have been possible without your help. Life can feel like a struggle at times, but you have helped tremendously along the way. By reaching out to you, we have been able to receive the spiritual guidance needed to feel more peaceful, keep moving forward, and create a meaningful life. Thank you again for inspiring us - we as a family are blessed to have your guidance and support. i thank you very much for the way you had explained to my questions (sometimes, isay, irrilavant ones) with somuch responsibility and patience. ... thank you so much for the extensive readings you have provided [for my family members]. It was a joy and quite insightful to listen to as you explored the charts in such detail and provided the context behind the readings. I want to sincerely thank you for creating the most comprehensive and objective jyotish libraries. Honestly, there are no words to express how profoundly grateful I am for having discovered your work. From one Visaka native to another, your work successfully " shocked and awed" me into seeing the light within myself for the first time (and following the most intense suffering of my life). Just to discover the body of knowledge is a blessing; but to actually find a mentor that bridges the gap is beyond explanation! Barbara I must mention-- what I love about your work is your methodology. My gemini, Kemadruma, 9th house moon pours over your work like an expanding fire-- it's sensational! You objectively teach the knowledge (as it comes from the scriptures), logically break it down into parts, connecting the parts to the whole and even across disciplines (literature, history, philosophy, and so forth). As if that wasn't enough, when you provide interpretations (graha dignity, bhavas, etc) you cite your logic, you cite the scriptures and work of well-respected astrologers. It's as objective and detailed as I could ever ask for!
Thank you for helping me break down this rigid ego and take on the challenge of decoding my life's karmas. I am so ready to take responsibility, to evolve and finally find my purpose. You are a huge part of my evolution. I get additional delight from how you coin your phrases. Just wanted to send you a note of thanks for your helpful writings and guidance on your website. Thank you for being a light and balm to many. God bless you. May your health be good and may you prosper. With many regards and much gratitude, Your website is an absolute treasure trove....I am a novice enjoying the learning. thank you so much again for taking time to answer my question! This is a very exciting time and I appreciate a woman astrologer like yourself paving a way towards the light. I can't thank you enough for your help and wonderfully prescient advice and guidance. It was a very liberating experience to hear an unbiased, frank and unadulterated analysis and how to interpret the positions of planets in today's times. I enjoyed the freeform, light hearted, conversational way of your reading. Mainly, icompletely agree with your repeated assertions that all our lives are preprogrammed in some way or form, by a higher force, even before we are created. It is an oft-repeated line quoted by Sri Ramana Maharshi, whose teachings you may be aware of. You presented the same idea, very effectively, and how we should learn to be slightly detached not just from the world, but also ourselves. Your immense knowledge and detailed awareness of Jyotisha came through at every point.Many Thanks for your thoughts on my question... As always, I have found it beautifully helpful and utterly inspiring. It seems like with every reading received one matures with greater speed :-) I wish you all the best and hope the medicine angels continue to guide you along the path with their healing rays ... Switzerland. Deepest gratitude for your extensive jyotisha reading of my nativity. I love your website and the insights you have given on nakshatras among many other things. your site is awesome, the best I've found on jyotish so far I'm an avid researcher into, well, esoteric things you could say and I read your website like it's an addiction every single day and I'm very grateful for the knowledge and wisdom you provide. You are really such a gifted being and I am very grateful. Your website has given me immense hope, strength, self-belief and encouragement. For this alone, I am indebted to you. I offer my sincere gratitude for your service.
Thank you

Your site has given me extraordinary insight into jyotishvidya and i often refer to it to clarify questions which occur to me. I have the greatest respect for the depth of your knowledge and profundity of interpretation. ~~ India dear madam...your knowledge is like kameshwari .. encyclopedic is understatement...

Thank you Barbara." Your writings very much helped me to come out of frustration. I thank you and bow to you with respect. I would like to first express my admiration. Your reflections on Jyotish bring about understanding and insight even to those like me who know very little of this great science. I want to sincerely thank you for creating the most comprehensive and objective jyotish libraries. Honestly, there are no words to express how profoundly grateful I am for having discovered your work.... your work successfully " shocked and awed" me into seeing the light within myself for the first time (and following the most intense suffering of my life).

I am sure there must be many people like me who want to study their horoscope and take benefit but due to this problem they can not. I hope you will pay attention to my request. Thanks once again Regards I thank God for having found your website. It gives me enormous strength. You have laid transparent what was veiled in taboo and secrecy.

I'm exchanging from Western Astrology and I'm excited to learn each time more of Jyotisha since I saw my natal chart on the Hindu-Lahiri's Sidereal Zodical.

Thank you primarily for:
I just wanted to say that I really appreciate all of the work that you have put into your website. It has helped me develop a better understanding of Vedic astrology and how it applies to my own birth chart. The philosophical and spiritual concepts you discuss in various parts of your website are particularly helpful and have given me a great deal to think about... What has been key for me from your site was your description of dharma in accepting the script so to speak. I’ve been a fan of you for a few years now and occasionally refer to your website for its plethora of insightful jyotish knowledge. The website is truly a masterpiece. I think you are brilliant ... Thanks for sharing your gifts with the world. I am so grateful for your website. I was looking up Sade Sati " Dear Barbara, i've been regularly reading articles on your site & I want to express my gratitude for sharing your incredible knowledge with everyone. It is amazing that you've studied jyotish so deeply & most of all, you've documented it all so perfectly ! ... I've been going through ketu dasha for the last 7 years. When I found your site approx 1 year ago, I was amazed to see how accurately my experiences match with your articles on ketu.... Now that my ketu dasha is almost over, ican find my inner aghori slowly retreating & it is being replaced by an incredibly calm zen state of awareness. I've never felt such tranquility before, your articles have truly been a kind light in my darkest hours. Once again, thank you so much for sharing your gift ! I hope that my upcoming shukra dash abrings brighter days. The journey through these dark nights have been worth it. May the light of jyotish shine forever through people like you."

Credit is all your hard work in the form of your site. No books till now I have seen who give such a logical reasoning to astrology as you have given. It's like the planets unfolding their own story of life, the work is not only of knowledge but also very interesting to read. Shri Bepin Behari books are also of same category. Hoping to see more of work which will help many more. I simply apply your logic/concepts to understand astrology and it truly works. Jai Ganesha. Barbara, this ratna report is fantastic. What an extraordinary gift you have given me , How do I properly express my deepest gratitude?

Your website has more info than any Jyotish website I've seen. " ... have been reading your website for a quite a while now. Started reading about Vedic Astrology two years ago. Read a lot of books, websites, forums, etc. But you seem to stand out ... I am ... Brahmin. Astrology was something that was scorned at in my family. Had been skeptical about this ... all my life. But your website changed it. Very impressive." ~~Queensland, australia thanks again for your brilliant website which must be one of the greatest modern contributions to vedic astrology out there. ~~ New York, New York Would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the effort you have put into this amazing gem which will continue to guide seekers and show them the ‘map’ of their current incarnation Thank you once again. Your reading has been quite illuminating and helpful for answering some of the questions regarding my life pathways.
|| ShrI:|| Dear Barbara, sAdareNa pranamAmi bhavatyai! Thanks a lot for your tremendous efforts in Jyotishing us with knowledge. Yours are the best, most clear and profound explanations. Im an ardent fan of your website and your unseen student (Ekalavya style). I have visited your website many times in the past two years as I began to explore Jyotisha. It was through learning bits and pieces of Jyotisha that I have begun to come to peace with the troubled relationships between me and my parents. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and light. Namaste! I was much impressed. I got what I expected, arealized, considerate, intuitive grasp of my horoscope. You are well qualified for this service and hope you spend many more years doing it. ~~ Florida Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation. Whatever I learned in Astrology is from your website and it is so good with detailed information. Very very good information on your website. Thanks a lot for looking into my chart. You are the best!!! Thank you for making your site. I frequent it often. You did an amazing reading for me last year. I listened to the audio multiple times and every time uncover new things. You have this amazing gift to explain things so clearly, kudos to the teacher (Guru) in you. :) Thank you so much for your reading. I must say, it was a beautiful, balanced reading. There were a lot of topics that you covered with a surprising lucidity. ...We have eagerly been listening to your analysis, insights and guidance over the last couple of weeks and are beginning to unravel its many layers during each iteration. The assimilation itself will take its due course. However, there is so much that makes sense (intuitively) and quiet a bit that is making our self-awareness expand. We are blessed to have been able to get this kind of a perspective, complementary to our Agasthiyar nadi readings. There may perhaps be some lingering questions / clarifications of previously asked ones. These we will draft after a couple of more weeks of listening, understanding and assimilation. I must also point out that a large portion of my understanding of Jyotisha in this lifetime, from around the time of my sade-sati is attributed to your efforts via your website. THANKS! The readings have taken it to a different level altogether. Thank you, kindly! May you be blessed with a clear understanding of the eternal truth, passing it on to many beings and attain liberation!
I do greatly
appreciate your time and service. I wish to thank you for your great contribution to this material world in the form of your Jyotishvidya website, which I have found to be of the utmost help. Namaste. Thank you for making your Jyotisha teachings available to all seekers through your website. My business is based in India but I was educated in Britain, and I travel the world. In my spare time, I have been studying your pages. Your Jyotisha view of modern personality is most engaging and I feel quite accurate. The Jyotisha that has been practiced in my family for generations is IMO badly poisoned with superstitious fear. It is another link in the slave's chain of dark magic and abuse. therefore, iam especially happy to see that you promote charitable service to others as a primary Jyotisha remedy. You are helping to bring some bright light into this world, and I thank you. ~~ Mumbai, dubai, and London Many Thanks. I like reading your articles. ~~ Ranchi Jharkhand India I have been a regular reader and a great fan of yours as for your selfless jyotish reading, millions of people crafted their future .really thankful we all ,to have you on this planet. -- Guwahati, assam Just WOW, you did put my whole life blueprint in front of my eyes. I have always admired your work . And i learned alot about astrology with the help of your articles .
I’d like to express how immensely appreciative I am for the content you’ve created on your website. It’s been truly a valuable resource for me to get closer to an understanding of myself for the past 6 years I have frequented your site. May I tell you how wonderfully addictive your voice is as you read my chart. Sigh., iwish I had cartloads of money so that I may buy one reading every week, just to listen to your incredible wisdom and get such a vast perspective of life. Great site. I m a professor of mathematics and also practicing astrology from last 15 years. Just want to praise u for making this wonderful site. My every good wish for you and all that you are doing to help people understand and emerge stronger from trials. I am so grateful for everything You share in your page , I love all the celebrities personalities you include as the mirror to us certain aspects of ourselves;
Let Almighty God ( Ma Sarswati ) Reside in You as always. Let Almighty God, Lord Buddha Continuously Shower His Blessing on You and Your Family Forever for Your Kind Service of Human Kind.

Thank you for your dedicated and genuine service in Jyotisha. All those who reach out to you are indeed blessed! Wish you all happiness and peace. Namaste Barbara, I recently felt the need to tell you how much of a support your highly distinctive website and information is to me. I am currently going through the final Sade-Sati phase, and it has been really quite tough but I have moved towards trying to understand the lessons imposed. Your website has made me feel less alone through this. ... I came upon Vedic this time last year and have found it truly enlightening. The more I read on your site, the more I feel grateful for your help. I have a religious nature and I meditate daily, but am also trained in western science. I am attracted to astrology. I have studied with teachers here in Europe ... but in my culture astrology is seen as a parlor game and very foolish. Anyway it has never given much satisfaction .... always just a hunger, and hope, that some day astrology would"make sense" . Thanks for your generous materials. The case studies are very helpful .... You seem to possess a rare competence ... please let me know when my reading is complete. ~~ L. S., copenhagen, denmark I have been to India 6 times and have had readings there, although I find your site and information the best, iresonate so strongly with the way you write and your beautiful vibe.

I have been able to answer a lot of unanswered questions I have been sweeping under the carpet for so long now. Your site has helped my put a lot of pieces together and view the larger picture that has been forming. They say the surya antardasa in Rahu Mahadasa brings light to the Eclipsed.

Your knowledge and depth of research on vedic astrology is truly astounding Yet, balanced with non-fatalistic view of west. I just wanted to commend you on your website. It has helped me grasp things in a new way, and I really appreciate the work you've done. Much gratitude for the guidance you provided to [my colleague]. He is astounded by the precision and value of information in the readings. " ... First I am expressing my heartly blessing, for the great work of Jyotish, about third sense of Vedas. I am thinking some body helping to world, who is that, and today by luck I find site on google search, ifind some thing new, out from genral thinking, and after working from 1982, in this field, like a astrologer, ifind a person, having knowledge, like Saraswati (Saraswati is Goddess of Knowledge, and by the Lalkitab the image of Rahu). The name Barbarapijan Lama, (baar baar aapi jana lama) people re-enter in meditation, meaning is suitable, and words like a Goddess expressing to human kind. I am not perfact in English, and I did not find my date of birth, but by your kind blessing, if some words I find from you it means I have full blessing of Goddess Saraswati." Thank you, barbara.

I listen for encouragment and guidance. There have definitely been some dark times. It helps to know about Sade Sati and that its not going to last forever. I really appreciate your attitude that there are no victims and this is a purposeful learning expereince. I try to calm myself with this viewpoint. OK this sucks, but what am I learning? Even when my mom died, from knowing about Sade Sati it wasn't a surpise, and I was OK while my sisters screamed and hated on the hospital. Well you said, bhava 12 is hospitals, right? Thank you Barbara. I thank you for being a special Light of God for me in times of darkness, and wish that many who come in touch with you are blessed with wisdom, strength and guidance. May Lord Hari grant you all your wishes. Thank you so much for an insightful detailed reading. It was most enlightening. I have come to your website, so many times, looking for information. For a while I learnt much much about the logic of discerning patterns from charts, from you. But then, somewhere along the way, as I read, soaking up every insightful thing you had to say, irealized-much beyond the science of astrology, I was being guided into an existential course on being; being in peace, by you. I have no words to truly express the gratitude I have for the ways you have opened my mind. I bow to you, your work and your compassion. You have been my teacher, when I needed one the most. Pranam Barbara.

Dear Barbara Thank You... I am a person who has received above gifts from you through your website. Your website is like this:"If a person comes and asks for a fish, he is taught fishing itself."

I want you to know that I think all that you wrote and spoke were perfect words for me to take in at this point in time, and I am grateful that you had the courage to speak the truth. ~~ New York I am relieved to hear that karmic law is more than what I thought, and that it's work is to transform ignorance into wisdom.

I am reading your website with lots of joy and gratitude. Your brilliant astrological insight has been guiding me for years now

Thank you very very much for your generosity and free-sharing of your wisdom with us. I have been reading your website for almost a week now and i am still reading, there is so much information. Can't find these kind of detailed information on Jyotisha these days online, even if I do find some, they are either limited in knowledge or verbiage (not in terms of present day) and do not cover related scenarios or areas with respect to a particular topic. Thanks to you for this, knowledge needs to be shared and thanks for sharing it well. I am so overwhelmed to see your website .. bundle of knowledge arranged in such a specific way that if one enters will never wish to sign off ....

I have been browsing the internet on and off for a few years now for Vedic astrology content and am yet to come across any site which is even half as good in terms of the quality and comprehensiveness of the content, not to mention the crisp structure that you’ve slotted it in. I must confess I have been recommending your site to a lot of folks demonstrating any astrological inclinations or interest. I am a novice student of astrology and came across your website few years back while trying to learn more about astrological principles and applications. I very much appreciate your simple clear explanations of astrological principles at play and the spiritual connections which make it more meaningful. It certainly helps in the study of the subject. Hi Barbara, thank you so much for the Reading ... Very well done! ... Am very grateful. ...Namaste in the truest sense. Your readings impacted the course of my life in ways that no other " input" has. I never would have gone to business school otherwise, idon't think anybody I know expected that of me- especially my undergrad friends that found out later have all been surprised. Overall I've enjoyed my path, it's been rewarding and had heart (and been super challenging at times), and it's certainly a credit to you in no small part for opening that door. Thank you deeply for sharing your knowledge and wisdom via your website! Many moments of being stuck, traumatized, tamasic or simply being blissful are always being put into perspective by one or more of your articles on life :-) Your practical, real and well structured commentaries are making a big difference in my understanding of the path of the soul. I think you are doing an impressive job with your readings and website articles to help students understand Jyotish in an undogmatic, realistic and purposeful fashion. This feels greatly empowering in building trust in the divine and all the events that life has to offer. You seem to invest lots of time, devotion and kindness into your service path, this is very inspiring for me personally! Your website is a diamond! Warm Regards from Switzerland, I love your site; it's a hugely ambitious work, and one of the best sources of knowledge on the internet! ...insightful accurate and truthful dose of higher consciousness... thank you very much for the elaborate reading of my horoscope. I am captivated both by the exhaustiveness of reading and the exquisite language you have used to describe various aspects in the horoscope. I have just finished my second listening of the recording and I will say that this is the most sincere attempt by any vedic astrologer in explaining the characteristics of my birth chart (therefore me!) in so much detail, many of which clearly resonates within me .... I will be hearing it few more times before I reach out to you with a follow up question, on any specific points I wish to clarify. Trust that is ok with you. Once again, please accept my heartfelt thanks for the exceptional reading. ... thank you so much for everything. I appreciate your time, compassion, and consideration.
I am just soooo impressed with the information available on your web-site -- it is amazing! Your efforts at bringing the classical interpretations to modern context are really worth praise and I feel must be shared ... I hope the researchers in Jyotish are getting benefit from you. I just loved your site, it is enriching, educative and simple to understand, many inhibitions were cleared. I am a regular visitor at your website and I spend many hours studying and it is like an ocean full of knowledge, always with a new learning experience and I have learned tons from it. I am a very passionate student of astrology and I have been learning more from your website than from anywhere else. ... I feel I cannot thank you enough but still a big thanks to you for sharing and spreading the Vidya of Astrology. It has enriched my life and is helping in my growth in deeper ways. Thank you Barbara, It was a very complete and amazing reading. I am a lot more calm after I listened to your recording. Thank you for bringing perspective and wisdom that you shared with me. I wanted to say that your section on KalaSarpa Yoga was very helpful to explain my chart and kundalini awakening and its implications Your website has been the center of my Jyotisha learning, and I want to thank you deep from my heart for creating such a wonderful educational hub First let me thank your for the amazing resource that you have created in your web site. As a student of Vedic Astrology, ilove it... When I read what you have written, it makes signs and planets and houses come alive. Reading your site also helps so much with all of the vocabulary and the deeper understanding that is so rich and comforting (or not) about Jyotish. ... your wisdom, dedication and amazing ability to communicate just shine through. I have listened to your reading a few times now and I continue to be impressed each time. You have taught me to look at Vedic astrology in a completely new light, provided a road map and have helped me immensely to prepare my mind for whatever happens. I also find a very high level of correlation between your life/atma philosophy and what I am beginning to learn through the Gita. Finally there is hope for the jig-saw puzzle pieces to come together. Thank you very much for providing the audio reading. At this time, I have done one pass through. I must say I am stunned by the detail and quite amazed by the insight that you provide. It is truly eye opening!! Thanks for the site. And thanks for the blessings Thank you so much for the invaluable wisdom
Thank you, barbara and thank you for being one of my anchors and guide. I am grateful. A heartfelt thanks for your site! I read a lot of material but have found your writing enjoyable and educative, over many years now, ...Your writing has a lovely (and loving) genuineness, and this is why I am writing to you. I pretty much learnt everything ... from your site. I have been a regular visitor of your Jyotish site for nearly three years now and I am amazed by the sheer amount of energy, time and work you have must have put to achieve this feat of such voluminous writings on Jyotisha. Your passion of Jyotisha is evident from the depth of your writings... (from a reader who sent a generous donation to help develop the website offerings): All thanks to you really for all the insights and blessings I have experienced while reading your work. You have helped some of my friends who I recommended to you for readings ... who have both benefited enormously from working with you. My studies in Jyotish are getting more interesting and amazing all the time and it has become the central focus for me in my life. Hopefully I can turn it to some benefit for other people as it has been for me. All the best to you and your family. [Australia] I am amazed to see The wealth of knowledge on your website. I am very grateful for the dedication you have shown. You have tried level best to educate about principle of life as you read. Perhaps thats the salient point of your reading. So much of service beyond self flavour in the work that you do. I am truly humbled and blessed ... I’m addicted to you website and it has helped me understand why thinks happened the way they did in my life. I look to it more for counseling than any other reason. It has helped me tremendously in trying (not there yet) to let go of my past issues Namaste Barbara, i'm a student of Vedic Astrology and I come from a family of Amateur astrologers in Southern India. First of all I'm amazed by the level of detail that you covered your website . I think this is the best site on this topic on the web. One topic I haven't yet seen in your site is 'Retrogression of planets'. It will be great if you can cover it sometime. Thanks for your great service to enthusiasts like me. Keep up your great work. Thank you for the knowledge you've made available to everyone. It helps me immensely to ground myself. Q: I wanted to thank you so much for your website. I am a student of Vedic astrology, and I have found your site to be an absolute God-send. Your depth and breadth of knowledge is so beautiful. And your language is so clear. I was wondering if you were able to make a hard copy of all the pages in the site, and somehow put them together like a book. I would love to purchase a hard copy. It would be really helpful for me. The site is so vast and wonderful, ithink it would be great to have all the information (the way you have expressed it) in a hard copy form. (Or if there is some place that we can access in the site that will allow us to print the whole thing in some order and context? ) Kindly let me know if it can be made available. A: thanks so much for your compliments! Numerous readers of the website have requested paper editions, ideally books divided by topic. I wish I had the time to do the necessary editing in order to produce books! Right now my teaching schedule and family life are so demanding that books seem a bit out of reach. The material is here, but the time to re-arrange it into book form and correct the errors before printing? Sometime in the future perhaps! It's a nice goal to keep in mind, and I am grateful for your encouragement. Are you planning to write some books? I would like to carry a book with me to read in nice places where I can think more clearly. One can't carry a computer everywhere. I like the weight of books. Please do write some soon, ideally a series, beginning with the basics explained in your own style (which I love reading!) and move into more complex parts of the vidya as you can manage it. I love your site, it is the best. The photography is sublime. I am very grateful to you for your invisible guidance. ... your articles have been very helpful especially for my understanding of the tricky Rahu-Ketu dynamics ... " MAY THE MOTHER SARASWATI (GODDESS OF LEARNING) ILLUMINE YOUR MIND SO THAT YOU CONTINUE ON THE GREAT PATH OF DISSEMINATING VEDIC JYOTISHA KNOWLEDGE THAT MAY BEING SOLACE TO MILLIONS ON THIS PLANET." Thank you and God Bless you for all the wonderful information you provide on your website. thank you for your time and for your invaluable work guiding my path Thank you for the reading. I have listened to it more than once already. I must say it is very useful and I am amazed at the depth of the overall views you have provided. Great work. Appreciate it. Namaste Barbara, Just wanted to convey my sincere gratitude for your effort in presenting the 'Brahma-Vidya' of astrology in a very compelling, enlightening manner at energy / psyche level more than the usual gross / physical level of interpretation. It has been a valuable source of knowledge, motivation and guidance for me right through most of my Sade-Sati. THANK YOU KINDLY! [regarding a Gemstone reading] Very precise and very brilliantly defined. Thank you Barbara Thank you for all your generous and laborious offerings Surely the world of Jyotish is very benefitted by your mercurial penetration and research. I want to express my appreciation and gratitude for this immense work you have put up on your website. I started out studying western astrology, and have found much difficulty in re-learning; but you have presented your knowledge in a way that is so much easier for me to grasp. I spend a good deal of my evenings on your website reading and reflecting. The Insights have been frighteningly accurate, and are a great help to this sadhaka. Thank you so much. God bless you. A: thank you very much for the kind words, and God bless you too! I am always delighted to know that the case studies and articles, despite their incompleteness (always need more time to write!) are proving helpful for some students of the vidya. Best wishes for your success in Jyotisha studies. ~~ Barbara God bless you! what a rich beautiful shrine of a website - the inner workings might be like a old dinosaur, but the wisdom and knowledge shines all across. Like an old temple which reverberates with peace, joy and wisdom. To all that which conspired to create this station, ibow reverently. Dear Mrs. Pijan: I want to thank you for your Jyotish web page. I am studying Jyotish by myself since 2006 and your openhanded view of teaching Vedic Astrology helps me a lot. I read your texts almost everyday trying to analize and discover new ways of understanding this beautiful system. Of course, studying alone is a difficult task. [Peru] thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you... I have a wonderful fresh glorious calming and satisfying feeling this morning - thanks to you and your reading! It is surely a pleasure to be validated in spirit... The material problems go on (and on) of course... My husband ... My mother ... My kids ... The money ... But spirit is what counts, and today I feel that you gave me a view of that precious path. I am deeply grateful. [Chicago] Pranam to you dearest respected Barbara Pijan ji, How are you? I absolutely love your website, it has already taught me so much. You have done vedic astrology proud!!! Thank you so much for all you do. I use your site all the time I am an avid reader of your website. I really applaud the amount of research you have put into writing the articles. I had a strong belief in an higher power (read God), however I am starting to lose that faith and now-a-days think that, may be we are just us and maybe it is really just one life with a full-stop (period) at death. Your website helps me still hold on to the faith in a higher power and makes me believe in Karma and after-life. An excellent work indeed. I can’t thank you enough for all the wonderful knowledge you have freely shared! God Bless You! Thank you again for the beautiful and very thorough reading. Pranam Barbara Ji. ..... The fabulous knowledge you share with the world. I have made a mp3 CD of the 5+ hours of the Jyotisha readings you provided to me ..... and have listened to it for over 10-15 times during my commute to/from work. Your guidance has been truly transformative on my life. Best Wishes, s. I would like to convey my appreciation and congratulate with your efforts. It is so pleasant to go through your website and information is very much organized, clear and examples of leaders well explained. .... Knowledge is universal and has no barrier …You proved it right by your website that knowledge can be guided and spread by anyone who truly respects it.
Namaste Guruji Aaj mai aap ki website read kar rahi thi. Aap se request ke meri kundli dekh kar baatayenge ke Kya problem hai. Meri marriage nhi ho rahi hai. I have been practicing Jyotish for quite some time now and been doing research on certain less-explored areas in this science. The content composed by you on your website is highly appreciable. I have a request for you regarding additional content on this subject. The effects of planets in various Nakshatra is one area where there is not much text and research work has not been seen. If you can include this content in your website, it would be fabulous. I am currently doing some research on the same and would like to invite you to share your opinions on this area of research. Also, if you know some books or online sources with this content of Graha effects due to placement in the 27 constellations, kindly give me the list of such. Looking forward to receive positive response. Just wanted to say a quick thank you for your readings that provided some succor at a time of great distress. I wanted to say thanks for this wonderful site and for giving explanations that quench one's soul as it were and give hope. I am sure many admirers of Jyotish have benefited from it. Sites like this are very rare... You are doing a great service to seekers of truth. Q: Namaste, Thank you again for a most informative and wonderful website and sharing of your knowledge. With Love and Light, [Singapore] A : Great"social identity" questions! I'll answer in a public venue, since probably others are interested too.O
I consider myself to be an earnest, but definitely international-style, student of Jyotisha. As an American with university research training, i'm not much invested the huge accrual of (largely superstitious ) cultural custom which surrounds traditional Jyotisha practice. With every respect for the consolation of ritual, inevertheless prefer to cut to the chase, and explore the validity of pure Jyotisha - the vidya itself - by testing public and private nativities against ancient predictive principles. As a point of character, ilike to test things! The writings on serve my need to write out case studies (as time permits). Writing up case studies and"rules " pages, plus relevant quotations from some easily-available Jyotisha authorities/commentators, are my own [western academic] way of organizing the information I need to analyze nativities. The case studies especially help me prove - to myself - that the canonical Jyotisha rules are giving the predicted results. Over time, ihope to provide a body of case studies that may be useful in elucidating the simplest level of Jyotisha: Vimshottari dasha and varga confirmations. I publish the studies and my reflections as an offering to other students of the vidya, in case they should find it useful. I just want to tell you I've been poring over your pages. What a tremendous service and accomplishment your website is, i'm grateful for it. I would like to thank you building such an incredible website filled with wealth of information. It is a treat for any beginner learning Jyotisha. I enjoyed listening to your commentary and answer to my questions. I particularly liked your joyful style and supplementary material as it related to Jyotish portrait. I would like to congratulate you on creating one of the best jyotisha vedic astrology web sites on the whole internet and thank you for taking time and effort for creating one. I have learn a lot from your site which I find as great and very valuable resource for my own jyotisha studies. thank you for your wonderful, insightful website! It has provided me with lots of fun, interesting reading! Pranam. I have picked up a lot from your guidance. It has been self revealing. Nowhere could i find such beautiful explainations which were so self explanatory. I am obliged to you. Greeting from Brooklyn. Big, big fan of your site. I have been reading it for a few years now, and I have learned so much from browsing it. I have a big interest in astrologyI read your Surya Uttama vs Surya Moolatrikona I really enjoyed it. ... Just wanted to say thank you for all the free wealth of knowledge & wisdom you have given on your Website. Thank you so so much. Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful and detailed reading. I feel you are such an impressive speaker and a wonderful, gifted guide. Many things that you mentioned in the analysis had a very positive impact on me. ... You have also illuminated so many new areas in astrology that I was lacking knowledge about & was completely unware of. Thank you so much for helping me out with not only my reading but also sharing such great wisdom. I am really,so impressed with your voice and the expressions you use to convey a thought. I wish I could speak like you someday! :) Q. Namaste Barbara, I was in search of website on jyotisha.....where I could find the essence and I fortunately happened to visit yours...... I have been an avid reader of astrological books and never found something good on the web, pleasant surprise yours is and to emphasis my feelings, it really puts one in awe and wonder over the Creation where a person from foreign land was able to touch the essence of vedic jyotisha, it transcends all boundaries it seems not to say much about the hard work and time it would have taken to study all this. Your website is different, explanatory to the essence, psychologically very insightful. If something more regarding the dashas, antardashas and prtyantra be added, ithink it will add more gems to this infinite sea of knowledge you are set to explore. Bon Voyage. A : Namaste, Thanks very much for your compliments on the Jyotisha materials at I am always happy to know that the descriptive articles and sample nativities there have been useful to students of the vidya. Thanks also for your suggestion to increase the information on Vimshottari and other dasha systems. I appreciate your suggestion. As soon as I have time (!) I will indeed add some more detailed descriptions of those important Jyotisha tools. I hope my readers will forgive the slow progress of filling out the website materials. In addition to Jyotisha practice, iam also a mother and a university instructor. Yet, slowly, slowly, ido hope to continue to expand the site. My goals are to provide more utility to students and to encourage international Jyotisha research. Sincerely, barbara Pijan Lama, Jyotishavidya i just wanted to thank you for your support and guidance ~~ Houston, tX Thank you for creating a Jyotish resource of such insight, depth, and breadth.

Radhe Radhe ♥ I have been feasting on your jyotish website. Oh my, it's a treasure indeed. Studying Jyotish has helped me very much the past few months. Thank you so much for these readings. They went beyond my expectations and provided so much insight, all of which was accurate from my experiences. I have always believed that the essence of the message lies in the delivery and I want to sincerely congradulate you on being able to use jotishi to guide modern kids (such as myself) to choose the right path. I would not hesitate to recommend your services to any of my friends or use it myself at a later time. ~~ With Best Compliments, from London Hope you could continue writing more interesting Jyotish topics; I enjoy reading them and learning about the ancient art/science.

Thank you immensely!!! I have visited your site several times and feel it would take a life time to understand & comprehend the sheer magnitude & significance of work you have created ... Truly awesome website You also have a really charming voice I am a 25 yr ils girl from India. Past few years I was gng through ketu mahadasha. And thats qhen I was very very interested in vedic astrology. I found your articles and I am soo soo thankful that u have written so much. Your articles are so logical precise and scientific that I just wish to somehow read them day and night. Some experiences in ketu mahadasha and rahu antardasha made me soooo soo miserable taht I was trying to find out why...why me....and when I read ur article on ketu mahadasha with 9 bhukti it was just sooo precise that I read each and every article u have written. Thanks a lot for ur tremendous work and I really hope u are in good health soon so that people like us benefit. Barbara, thank you very much for your deep and extensive outreach work. Q: Subject: amazing site Amazing site barbarapijan.com! I found honest predictions here. I'm also an astrologer here in India, in Chandigarh. I like your site so much !! Very good site !!! You have worked so hard. Where have you have learned it from? India? A Namaste, Thanks very much for your compliments on www.barbarapijan.com . I am delighted to know that you find the materials useful in your study of the knowledge tradition of Jyotishavidya. In answer to your question, ilearned some basic principles of Jyotisha while residing in Nepal. However, most of my learning has come from reading books (mainly the classics, plus some great modern commentaries in English, such as 300 Combinations 1912-1998 Jyotiṣika B. V. Raman and Bepin Behari ). For BP Lama Jyotishavidya, there is strength in several decades of reflective meditation upon those basic principles, in context of divine goodness and human nature. Practice of the vidya requires both reason and intuition to be fully and constantly engaged. Best wishes for success in your own astrology practice, Sincerely, barbara Pijan Lama, Jyotishavidya Thank you for helping me see the invisible. Thank you for the forgiveness page . Q. Dear Madam, Thank you so much for uploading an extensive collection of vedic astrology notes in your website for many to benefit. I am an Indian studying in Swiss. I am an hobbyist astrologer--who learned astrology from beloved Guru d. A.P. Rao. ... I would like to donate some amount (not much being a student though!) for your project of bringing the Vedic astrology learning material on the web in a lucid and well classified manner. Would it be possible to buy the material in a CD form you? I appreciate your selfless work again and thanks for helping many to grow in the vast field of Vedic astrology learning!... A . Namaste, Thanks very much for your compliments on the Jyotisha learning materials If you enjoy putting some of the website pages on a CD or some other fixed medium -- and readers report that they do this -- then please be aware that the website is often updated, expanded, and adjusted. As of yet, the material is not ready to be organized into any fixed format. Readers have also asked me to produce e-books and paper books for purchase. Originally it seemed viable to freeze the case studies into a static printed form, but the speed of conceptual evolution is now too rapid. The oevre must likely remain in electronic form. Sincerely, barbara Pijan Lama, Jyotishavidya I have regularly visited your website and found that this is the best site on Vedic astrology. I am sure the material on the site has helped a lot of people. I can't thank you enough for your reading and generosity ..... You have put my mind at ease .... How refreshing to hear you speak! You site is indeed wonderful, the concepts therein are great. It is well documented , in user friendly manner and easy to grasp. Have been visiting your website regularly and impressed deeply. The e-mail is just to congratulate you upon a great achievement. best wishes, krishna. Namaste Krishna, Thanks very much for your compliments on the samayavidya materials. I am delighted to know that students of the vidya of the knowledge tradition of Jyotishavidya are benefiting from the articles and example nativities presented there. Hope this finds you in good health. May God grant you best of complete health very soon. thank you for the reading - I have listened to it many times and I really enjoyed it. thank you for your reading and answers to my question. I'm now completely satisfied Dear Barbara Pijan Lama, iam addicted to your website since I stumbled upon it a month ago. Considering the complexity of this science, the arrangement of the Jyotisha material in your website is commendable. A student of Vedic Astrology aged 42, from South India, ifind your insights on the various planetary combinations very good. My salutations to you for your selfless dissemination of Jyotish knowledge through your website. With best regards -- MM I loved the detailed articles on your site. They are very informative and I appreciate your hard work in compiling in all together.

Your interpretations and meanings are superb and un imaginably supports awareness. A Namaste, Thank you very much for your lovely compliments! I am delighted to know that you are enjoying the Jyotisha website and find the materials there to be useful in your study of the vidya. It is a growth-challenge for me to maintain the growing collection of materials, keep correcting mistakes, and write case study interpretations of public figures, along with my teaching schedule. I always wish there was more time to write! Yet, iam very happy to know that the site as it presently exists is indeed providing a helpful resource to students around the world.

Thank you so very much for your amazingly detailed reading. I listened to the reading on Wednesday evening immediately after receiving it....wow! Your incredibly deep knowledge of Jyotisha comes across in a very open, compassionate & humorous way.

I have benefited from your website and your Wisdom. I study both Western and Vedic Astrology and must say your site has been the most inspiring, and the most accurate in the piecemeal approach I must take to analyzing my own nativity via Jyotish. ...I recently passed through the end of Shani Mahadasha and am in the first year of Mercury/Mercury and the blessings have been beyond anything I could have imagined;-). Just wanted to send you Love & Thanks;-) -- Namaste I wish you get well soon and continue posting such highly informative stuff which helps me learn astrology and practice it efficiently. Thank you very much for your splendid analysis of my horoscope. I've greatly enjoyed your reading and I must say that for someone who does not know me personally, some of your observations regarding the dilemmas inherent in my chart are remarkably accurate! It is indeed heartening to note that my destiny lies in serving those less privileged than myself. I hope that I will someday have the fortune of manifesting my Uchha shani's DharmaKarmadipati yoga and its script of service just as you have predicted. Once again, iam deeply grateful for your time and guidance in my quest for understanding my life purpose. Thank you so much, barbara! My husband and I savored the first hour of the reading last night. I will continue listening ... Your guidance and insight are greatly appreciated. I have enjoyed your website immensely for several years, especially the tone and attitude you express when explaining your knowledge and insights. It has enriched my understanding not only of jyotish, but myself. Thank You once again !!! God Bless You! I've been an avid reader of your website for several years now and have learnt a lot for which I can't thank you enough. i am an regular reader of your website....., it's truely fantastic,intractive, and as i am a jyotish student too,it really help me to learn and revise..., I am writing to thank you for such an amazing website. Your website is not only a resource to know and learn astrology but also to use that knowledge to about oneself and perhaps about god. To know why we are here on this earth(spiritual beings having a human experience). Topics on subconscious and psyche are really a new knowledge to me and probably the seed of this knowledge will help me answer my questions. I have to say thanks for taking your time and I'm loving the website, my understanding is getting a lot better the more I practise with famous celebrity charts I can see the time lines and effects of dasa and bhukti (very very interesting)! (~~ yours from sunny Kuwait) Pranam Barbara, thank you for your kind wishes on my jyotisa studies. I am simply thrilled to have your valuable website available for reference. Hi, just wanted to express my gratitude for your great informative site on Jyotisha. I was a Hindu monk for years, and studied astrology in my down time.

I must congratulate you on the excellent compilation and the logical explanations given about various aspects of astrology. There are many sites, which directly give inferences (some accurate, some not so accurate), but so far, I have found only your site which gives a logical explanation, to various planetary formations in a horoscope. This gives an opportunity for people like us, to learn newer aspects, which wouldn't have been possible, if we just learn by rote about various planetary positions and their effects. I read your site, as often as I can, to keep learning about astrology. I think what you do is wonderful. The information you provide was unattainable for many people like myself, who can't read the Sanskrit languages. With a bit of guidance and your helpful site, i've managed to enlighten myself, at least a little, with this field. Every time I read your website I learn something new. I myself have interest in Jyotisha and I love analyses of various topics in your website. Drawing reference to your webpage and the following section : " .....I do recommend Jyotisha study as a very engaging method of slowly developing a sense of wisdom and amusement about one's own chosen life :" Wonderful thoughts, ishare similar feelings as I think I am beginning to understand myself a bit better through Jyotisha. Thanks in general for spreading a more mature approach of Jyotisha to a wider audience. Thanks for the insightful Gem analysis, Your wisdom and knowledge has helped me understand my own chart in a better way I found your website on the internet two years ago and have been obsessed with it ever since. ... Thank you so much for all of the information you've made available. I check your website daily. I love it. Many thanks for all the work you are doing. For a decade now, I have learnt a lot from the material you have been posting on the website. They have helped me sail through a lot of 'shadow' days (and years), like light from an invisible source. I was blown away by the thoughtful, insightful and erudite information presented on your website. I want to thank you for this rare gem of a website you gave us, students of Jyotishavidya. Thank you, not only for providing systematic paths into the complexities of vedic astrology and offering us these vasts and methodically organized jyotish resources for free, but for doing so with such carefully chosen quotes from writers, extracts from the Scriptures, words of wisdom, for accompanying them with an iconography celebrating paintings, sculptures, architectures of various traditions - and also nature's wonders, through its magnificent landscapes and portraits of its inhabitants. Thank you for honoring this splendid legacy, for guiding us through it with your meticulous attention to etymology and translations, and for generously answering our questions. Thank you for your precious insights and humor.
Basically you are kind of Guru to me through your website. Thank you. Dear Barbara Ma, First of all, ithank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing valuable treasures of Jyotisha. Your intuition energized by years of meditation and trust in the Divine surely peeks through the writings :) . I am a student of this science when I started taking a course in South India (Tamilnadu). The articles on Rahu-Ketu are enlightening to begin with.. as I was able to personally relate with whatever is said there! A leap frog, sudden awakener, jump start, obsessive desire, over indulgent, palpitation of heart..true! Thank you. Your teachings have been extremely important for me. Backing up each explanation in your reading was very helpful to understand and rationalise why certain things in my life were certain way. Your narration and clarity of recording was purely brilliant. This mail is to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the fantastic and inspiring reading of my horoscope by you. ... impressed by your depth of knowledge, experience and the passion with which you give the reading. It was so interesting to listen to your reading. :) Listening to your reading, ifelt you are in front of me and that you know me for a long time. :) I appreciate your Jyotisha knowledge and wisdom and thank you for shining some light on my life. I have been readiing the contents on your site for years.literally know every page .tremendous work.no maount of words can suffice the work you have put together.i have read several books from sanjay rath,b.v.raman,jamini.but what i love about you is the beautiful non judgemental way of outting together things.love your work on marriage and relationship.soo beautiful.thank god for people like you who believe that real people fall in love with wrong partners but as long as we can move on it's not crime...
Thank you, love
Being a Jyotisha enthusiast/student I have been following your excellent site. I just want to congratulate you on maintaining and creating this excellent resource,
which I think is unparalleled in the modern practice of Jyotisha across the world.
I hope you will keep up the good work and may God bless you with the power to keep posting many more insightful articles.
Your site has given me extraordinary insight into jyotishvidya and i often refer to it to clarify questions which occur to me. I have the greatest respect for the depth of your knowledge and profundity of interpretation.

Your website and work has been very much appreciated at this end and the vast amount of information is invaluable to any student and learner of astrology. God Bless Your website is wonderful - I have visited many times, and read and re-read. I actually like reading the articles on philosophy more than those on astrology. I bow in gratitude to your efforts, time, skill, knowledge, discipline, and generosity. Thank you, and blessings
Amateur admirer of astrology here. Just wanted to say, i*love* your site. It's just so chock full of info and knowledge, case studies, references to other books, it's absolutely brilliant.

Hi Barbara Pijan Lama, Wanted to congratulate you on the replies you give to questions. I was reading a reply on the way 2-3-5-9-11 houses interact with each other and what happens when one among them is strong and some among them weak. Some of the replies look so philosophical and which can come only from highly spiritual thinkers who have had a long astrological practice. I doubt that i can find such detailed explanation in any book. I am an engineer but read astrological texts as a hobby. I was searching for something on the varga charts and came across your website. Keep up the good work. Best regards BPL Reply: Namaste, Thanks very much for your compliments! I'm delighted to know that you are finding the Jyotisha materials to be useful in your studies of the samayavidya, and especially to know that the Q/A format is helpful. I wish that I had time to write the answers to many fascinating questions which arrive in my inbox weekly. However, it 's nice to know that those few which I am able to answer are useful to readers. Thanks again for your encouragement, and best wishes for success in your Jyotisha studies, Sincerely, bP Lama Jyotisha Thanks. I have read the ratna report and it was very insightful. I intend to use it to full advantage. My sincere thanks to you for my wonderful reading.

It took me time to think and reflect about what you said
Crop Circle, western England Barbara, I want to thank you for the amazing write-up you did on Rahu-Ketu-Chandra. I read the section on remedies for marriage problems. It helped me to understand what I am going through, and made me feel "understood." I appreciate your excellent command of the English language combined with your understanding of Jyotisha. May you be blessed for your contribution. Hare Krsna. Yours in the service of Lord Sri Krsna (from whom come all sciences, including the science of astrology), Thank you for explaining a complex subject in an accessible manner.

A great website and content within ( It directly appreciates your knowledge, efforts and direction). Knowledge is universal and has no barrier …You proved it right by your website that knowledge can be guided and spread by anyone who truly respects it.

Searching all over the internet, very few cover, or at least most cut and paste ideas, and then the same examples show up again and again. Your webpage is inspiring to take real knowledge (at least at the instance of Shani, from my reading) and show it as it is. It appears you have a great understanding of Jyotish, something many Pandits could learn from. Haha. of course, each interpretation can vary in many variations as their are seers present. Many many thanks for the fantastic, re-assuring and timely reading! Both [my husband and I] have greatly benefited from it. I am very grateful to God that I luckily found you ...

By birth I am an Hindu Brahmin, not sure if by karma. I am writing this mail as I would like to thank you for your articles on vedic astrology . In a one word they are splendid. The ancient vedic philosophy which is embedded in your writing I must admit is very rare even in India. Your writings are in perfect harmony with my favorite literature that is Mahabharata and specially the Bhagavad Gita. May the great lord Shiva shower his auspicious blessing on you for your splendid wisdom in the mystic astral plane. Your's faithfully, Ive been a silent follower of your site for quite some time, it has some of the best and most insightful interpretations of different phenomena in jyotish that I have found anywhere on the internet. Thank you very much for sharing this knowledge with the world. Right now, iam going through an unexpected and really tormenting phase of life and learning Jyotisha has somewhat lessened my pains and helped in concentrating my negative energy into something divine and positive for life. Your articles on 'Dealing with emotions' and 'Guilt & Grief ' energies were really inspiring during this time. Your metaphysical explanations for these are really awesome. I want to express how much I have already learned about my own chart and the charts of others through your amazing website, and how much I appreciate what you've done !

Though I hardly understand the text , sometimes I simply tour the site & see mesmerising pictures & quotes , & feel refreshed . To: a kind donor who helped with operating expenses for the website: Thanks very much for your kind donation! Your generosity helps to keep the website available to students around the world. I often receive email from students in countries where no Jyotishavidya books are available, and they say that internet resources like barbarapijan.com are the only access they have to Jyotisha materials. Thank you for helping to support them and to build a community of Jyotishacidya practitioners worldwide. With much appreciation for your kindness, Sincerely, barbara Pijan Lama, Jyotishavidya the donor responds: I will try to contribute as and when i can, as i have been reading your site for a long time now and have learned a lot.

I cannot adequately express how grateful I am for the reading, and how fortunate I am to have been able to access this road in my life's progress. Thank you from my heart. Namaste and greetings from India. I have been an avid follower of your site for the last 2 years and have found it invaluable not only in terms of the knowledge flowing out of the Vedic tradition but a life changer in terms of the introspection and reflection that it evokes in regard to multiple facets of existence. In fact, your gift to me has been the growth of a deep unshakeable faith and optimism in Divinity and its myriad ways which creates a feeling of reverence and makes one stoic. At times, it does seem that my flow of thoughts at a particular point of time find reflection in the different hues of your expression here. I have become decidedly more intuitive and deeper in my thinking after I became a regular visitor to your site. I am long time admirer of your work. I love the simplicity and eloquence of your writing. I have spent long hours pouring over your meticulous research and find your presentation of different sources and views for each subject enriching. While surfing on net, icame across your blog, Amazing, the clarity and depth in knowledge you have got. Please accept my Gratitude, iam Brahmin Hindu, from India, I bow down before your knowledge please accept my Gratitude to you, your knowledge, your parents, family and most important your GURU. Regards, Thank you for the tremendous knowledge that you have put together at your Web Site. I try to read and learn as much as time allows me to from where-ever I can and it is one of the best resources that I have come across to help enhance my understanding of the subject. I do hope that you continue to enhance the site. On Guru Purnima I pray: The Guru is the Lord Brahma, Vishnu and Siva Guru is the Supreme Absolute Itself My obeisance to the blessed Guru My students and I have benefitted a lot from you and your site on Vedic Jyotisha. God bless you. " Your feedback on my questions always elevates my understanding. Your responses take my questions to a higher level. For example your response to my question about coincidence between [wearing a particular gemstone] and [the pleasant behavior of a relative] is very enlightening. This response alone tells me clearly that whatever is happening - perceived good or bad - is me channeling them via people and events around me. It puts the responsibility of everything in my world right in my lap - makes me feel responsible and not just at the receiving end of circumstances - how liberating :-)" Thank you for your extraordinary website. I an truly grateful to you for taking the time to explain, in crisp detail, your understanding of the Vedic perspective. Respected Sri Barbaraji Your website's a treasure trove of information. OM Namah Shivay Dear Barbara pijan lama, irecieved gemstone recommendation report. It is very detailed and imformative. I enjoyed reading it so much.

Thanks for being a beacon of light and i think that the vidya of Jyotish burns bright in you.... thanks for sharing and writing such information.. Thank you once again for your blessed guidance. Your wisdom is truly appreciated. I am 37 years old, agood deal of my adult life had been spent in illness. I suffer from chronic kidney stones. Many days have passed that I considered the most extreme remedies for myself.

U have given me a new path in this life and also for my two sons... Pursuit of knowledge and mystery has kept me alive for over a dozen years. Tho I am not very intelligent or worldy your knowledge fills my life enough to make me happy.

Thanks so much for your beautifully and kindly elaborated reading. I listened to it today but I do intend to listen again, and then again some... As I did with the previous readings. :)
Thanks for undertaking what is clearly a time-consuming project in maintaining your website. The "compliments " section is justly full of praise for your efforts. Sadar Pranam !! May lord bless you!! Since very long I'm reading your site, at first it was more of gathering concepts. Now it is more of a spiritual marvel. Hence accept my humble and sincere regards from the bottom of my heart, for enriching my knowledge. Thanks and very warm regards. It was a mind opener and brought flood of realization. Many internal questions that I was struggling with got answered. It was a major relieve and a huge load that weighed on me, my heart and my life was lifted. ~~ entrepreneur, pacific Rim It has always been very nice going through your articles ever since 2007, time when I started getting involved in Astrology. Reasons were many for my involvement in the subject. I was always interested in Occult Science to understand the deeper meaning underlying almost everything that "happens ". Another reason was to find hope of my life which was a long lost battle ever since I was born :). Finally lot of internet searches led me onto your website. Lucky me!! The value you provide through your website cannot be quantified. I've studied (and cast) hundreds of horoscopes but I keep going back to you for a deeper understanding of everything I've learnt so far. it does not look like a dinosaur to me. it is a constantly growing evolving resource that was created in pieces. it seems a lot like a maze with many access points and exits, but without a center. Just wanted to send you a note of thanks for your helpful writings and guidance on your website. Thank you for being a light and balm to many. God bless you. May your health be good and may you prosper. . I am born and brought up in India and I strongly believe in Vedic Astrology but i have very limited knowledge about it.Your website has been very useful to me in past couple years and i have been following and try to solve the mysteries of my chart since i came across your website. so Thank You very much for uploading such a detailed description of Vedic Astrology on Internet. Have been through your website a number of times and I find it to be the most descriptive and informative of all the sites available on the Internet , appreciate and admire your hard work and knowledge on this fascinating subject of Astrology . Thanks as always for the guidance. Yr advice got me aligned with the possibility of more work. I know deep inside the Universe is not through with me in that sphere. But I know too I am doing the right thing by bowing out now from [existing duty roster]. So I sail on into the bright future in which I cant forget my past. I have always admired your website and learnt a lot from it. It is a huge store of knowledge and in fact, it's biggest source of jyotish knowledge online. Congrats to you and May God bless you with more good health, happiness and peace to continue your helping others. I have consulted a number of astrologers in the past and have spent an immense time on studying Jyotish astrology, all in the hope of gaining self-knowledge and a deeper understanding of my purpose in this life. In this regard, iam very pleased to have come across the abundance of knowledge on your website as well as - and perhaps more importantly - a fine reading by yourself. I thank you for taking the time to offer a thorough reading based on a refined intuitive knowledge and positive spirit." ~~ London
Milky Way * Ga - lact - y Your site is truly wonderful. Thank you for this lovely resource. I am equally drawn to the spirit of your writings as I am the subject matter. I had been following your web site for quite sometime now; it is truly wonderful and I can't praise it enough. Reading through your contents I have learnt a great deal about astrology/life and yes I personally felt the benefits. So thank you! Please do keep up the good work. Note: My family astrologer warned me about the impending Shani dasha starting at age 45. " Warning: Beginning of sufferings.....etc.etc." . But reading through your articles on Shani have allayed my fear substantially. Your website is the best and I appreciate your hard work in putting it together. Thank you for your very thoughtful and detailed answer to my question .... I appreciate the knowledge you have shared with me and I am glad I was able to obtain a reading. I have turned to your pages looking not only for precise information, but also in times of sorrow, when trying to find a word of reafirmation, conciousness and trust in the love of the Universe, and I have always found confort reading you. And I believe I am not the only one. That is why I am so grateful for your service to the world. Namaste Barbara! Just wanted to convey my sincere gratitude for your effort in presenting the 'Brahma-Vidya' of astrology in a very compelling, enlightening manner at energy / psyche level more than the usual gross / physical level of interpretation. It has been a valuable source of knowledge, motivation and guidance for me right through most of my Sade-Sati. THANK YOU KINDLY! My best wishes for you, aUM!
I wanted to thank you for your amazing website. Your insight and wisdom is such a gift to me. I will forever be grateful for your generosity in making this available to students of Jyotisha. I have been an avid reader of your website for the last decade, and still continue to find gems in it that help me think more and connect some more dots. Very grateful for this resource you have shared with the world. Your advice to help the less fortunate is very sage advice, and one that I take very seriously to heart. I am deeply grateful for your insightful and painstaking analyses of my birth chart and for providing simple but practical steps to take the ups and downs of life in stride. With much gratitude and many thanks, I'm amazed by the depth of insights you have been able to provide. I have to confirm that the information is pretty accurate. Grateful for your kindness and your time thank you for your great effort and contributions in providing openly available information on Vedic astrology in English. Its difficult to find a credible in-depth source online (or anywhere for that matter) and I have been able to learn a great deal about Vedic astrology from your website since around 2008 when I first started taking up interest in the subject. Thank you very much for the detailed reading ... I have listened to it multiple times now and I think I now get the big picture. ~~ university graduate researcher I reached out for this reading mainly to listen to your

... your website has come across as the most exhaustive and authentic source for me. I can't thank you enough for that. There's absolutely no other source that dwells so deeply upon the matters as your research work. Your write ups on Nakshatras, shani Gochara, rahu, have been a revelation for me. I specifically remember the one on Ashtama Shani because I was going through it and it was particularly difficult for me as I was also going through the Bhukti of the same house. Reading that, calmed me and gave me the courage to withstand the last few months of that transit. My deep gratitude towards you. As always, thank you for all your help and guidance - it means a lot and has always helped me tremendously in this journey of life. ... during this year there was no day I did not remember or mention your readings, and I have to say your reading saved me ... You had done our couple reading and you had advised against it. A lot of what you predicted turned out to be true. Almost 100%. It was a horrible marriage. I am trying for a divorce right now, but we cannot agree on a settlement amount ... These [several] years of a toxic marriage has been utter hell, however it also led to a lot of self-improvement. Barbara, you read my chart for me over a year ago. I often listen to the mp3s and pick up new insights from the reading. I just wanted to let you know I was fascinated by your interview with JyotishStar e-magazine. It was very interesting to gain insight how you began your astrology path, the development of your website, and your ideas for future growth and knowledge sharing. I cannot tell you how much your website has helped me with my own jyotish studies. My youngest brother just asked me to look at his chart, and of course, I will be using your site as one of my "textbooks." Thank you so much. I wish you much further success, and improved health and wellness. I can feel the Satvic vibration of your divination. I must comment on your intro and explanations of ~ Guilt and Grief ~ What a lovely way to express such difficult and disruptive hindrances in life I will cherish this information forever! THANK YOU AGAIN! thank you so much for sharing your knowledge so openly with everyone. Your site is of great help to anyone trying to understand the principles and application of Jyotish. I just love your website. I can see so much of love you have poured into the pages. Its very informative and the best part is that unlike other astrologers your's is a guidance in the big picture (our spiritual journey). Thanks for sharing it so well. I just want to thank you! You have been an amazing influence. What you have done is totally unrivalled in making vedic astrology accessible and creating a knowledge base so extensive, one can happily wander in it like a true library.
I have been reading it almost every day since 2020, and there is always something new, always something new even when am reading the same thing all over again
You are a blessing. I thank you so much. God bless you and thank you once again!
Namaste Barbara,
Your website is a gift to us all. Please accept my sincere gratitude for kindly enlightening my life with your generous sharing of knowledge (light). |

Thank-you for your so nice email and for blessings, that means a lot to me. I`ll be back on your pages this evening! It is was very enlightening to hear your reading and many of the points were very strikingly illustrated I would like to profusely thank you for the information on the Ketu pages which were extremely reassuring for someone who was/is lost. With some understanding of how this energy functions, icould focus on spiritual pursuits without having to experience immense suffering, having realized that this was nature of the current script. ... I only have a new found respect for Ketu, to which I never had paid much attention earlier. As always, iam grateful for your insights and the direction you provide.

Hi Barbara--I just wanted to briefly thank you for your website materials. I refer to it frequently as it gives such depth and breadth to one's experience. I'm going through my Shani-Rahu bhukti and it is, indeed, difficult. I am reminded time and time again of the necessity of only taking what is absolutely necessary through this journey--including ones hopes and dreams which may or may not materialize--but aren't absolutely necessary to NOW--which is the only moment that I have, and the only moment that I am being asked (told?) to navigate. Best wishes to you and sending good thoughts for your good health. I would also like to point out how extremely informative your website is. The scope of you're writing, and explanations are truly incredible. Thank you so much for providing such a treasure trove of information to the public. Thank you for the ... reading and I truly appreciate your effort. As is your nature, the reading is accurate and to the point. Lots of insights to reflect. One factor I'd like to highlight for your research reference, your prognosis on my father's dilemma is spot on! I wonder how you managed to decipher this from my nativity. Its simply amazing. You are a great astrologer for that accuracy. For now I am satisfied with the readings and hope to follow up with you towards end of next year. thank you Ms. Lama , we've received the reading. Very interesting and may I say you have a wonderful voice, warm and real and a lovely natural laugh .I have really enjoyed listening . First, let me thank you for your amazing website and the wonderful wisdom you offer through it. Hello Barbara, The reading was nothing short of amazing, thank you so much! I really admire how you delve deep into the horoscope and report your findings, and yet you do so in such an encouraging and positive way. I couldn't wait and was listening with my headphones while at work, where of course I kept getting interrupted :) Now that I am at home I listened again without interruption. You have been a great source of inspiration through your readings which gave much confidence and reassurance. Thank you thank you Barbara. I am so glad that I asked you for a reading! The focus on Shani and taking responsibility for my own decisions was super helpful. It reframed my whole opinion about this failed engagement. I have started moving out of the exhausted darkness of victim depression. It feels like my power is coming back. You were right that my family loves to shame and blame. Through them, saw myself as the victim of a terrible, heartbreaking mistake. But from a learning viewpoint, I have to admit that this awful pain has created a higher self-awareness and compassion for the suffering of others. I was raised to fear Shani, but I now think of Him as my teacher. Yes He is tough, but He delivers the spiritual upgrade lesson too. Thanks! I am incredibly grateful and obliged for your reading. I will cherish this deeply. Dear Ms. Pijan Lama, I hope this email finds you well! I received your reading and answers to my questions [last year] and I'm finally responding to share my deepest thanks. The reading was intriguing, healing, and had a profound impact on me. It's taken months to process, but I've been applying your sage advice to how I view the world, my relationships, and myself to good effect. Amateur admirer of astrology here. Just wanted to say, i*love* your site. It's just so chock full of info and knowledge, case studies, references to other books, it's absolutely brilliant. You're awesome. I can't imagine how much time and effort it takes to put together something like that. You've got some excellent quality material here, and I'm quite picky when it comes to reading about astrology. Thank you so much for sharing all of your realizations and knowledge, absolutely priceless and brilliant. Go back ten years. After the 2011 reading, I was angry and insulted. Our astrologer told my parents that I was a genius. He gleefully declared that I would win prizes and bring huge honor to our family. When you said "narcissistic father," I shut off the tape. As you know, in our community, dishonoring the father is a terrible sin. Fast forward to now. 24 to 34. I see that I was asking you to confirm various grandiose scenarios of magnificence, glamor, and fame. You responded with smaller-scale predictions, manageable goals, and what you called "mature realism" about science jobs. All I could hear was, "you will not meet your parents' inflated expectations." My parents have rural secondary-school diplomas. They were insanely happy when I was admitted to [prestige university]. In their eyes, our family was now permanently protected from criticism. In their eyes, the next step should be billionaire inventor or Nobel Prize. Well, ijust finished the first postdoc. Like hundreds of others in my field, igot a normal research job in Big Pharma. I'm working in blood chemistry and it's interesting. But I don't earn enough to buy a house here in [USA City] and I'm avoiding the marriage discussion. I want to relax on the weekends, have fun with friends, and - dare I say it? - be normal. Not spectacular. Normal. My parents are horrified. They scream into the phone. I finished a highly respected doctoral program and a top-grade postdoc. I'm thinking about a second fellowship. But my parents care only about their own status, their own pride, their own reputation. They don't care about me and my happiness. I'm just a pawn in their narcissistic game. They want to boast about my shrewd marriage. then move into my house, and treat me like a servant. I'm sure you've seen it all before. Thanks for the warning. I'm ready now for the update reading - can I still get that after ten years? This time I won't turn off the tape. I've been googling "cultural narcissism" and ... the reading was right. My parents cannot be satisfied. I'm going to write some new reading questions about making my own choices.
