Nepali Jyotish in Adelaide
About 6,256 people born in Nepal were living in Adelaide at the 2021 Census. It is a community that has put down roots: families buying homes, children growing up here, and parents visiting from Nepal who still ask, before any big step, “Have you had the Kundali looked at?”
Jyotish Prakash Basistha has been answering that question since 2007/08, and in Australia since 2016. He consults from Queanbeyan near Canberra, and for Adelaide that means a phone or video call, in Nepali or English.

Booking from Adelaide and the half-hour difference
Adelaide runs half an hour behind the Canberra region all year, because both change their clocks for daylight saving on the same days. Half-hour offsets are easy to get wrong, so the booking page shows every slot in Adelaide time and the top of this page shows the current difference.
When you book, add the birth date, time and place. If you have your own Kundali already, you can also generate it on Antaryami first and bring your questions ready.
Matchmaking and Kundali matching
In a community where many families know one another, a match is often suggested by someone you trust. Matching the Kundalis is the next step, and it deserves more than a number. Both charts are read for the 7th house, Venus and Mars, Mangal Dosha and whether it is balanced by the other chart, and the dashas ahead. A lower guna score with good supporting factors can be a better match than a high score without them.

Finding the love of her life, or his
Women and men tend to bring this question in different words. A woman might ask whether she will find the love of her life without compromising on what matters to her. A man might ask whether the love of his life will come while he is still building a career. Underneath, both are asking about timing and fit, and the chart speaks to both: the periods when marriage is emphasised and the nature of the partner described by the 7th house.
And for anyone simply single and ready to mingle, it is just as useful to know when to say yes to more invitations.
Relationship difficulties
Every marriage passes through harder seasons. When both partners’ charts are read together, the reading can show whether the pressure comes from a passing period, such as a demanding Saturn transit, or from a deeper difference in temperament. Knowing which it is helps you respond with patience rather than panic.
Property, career and visa questions
Settling in Adelaide often brings a run of practical decisions: buying a first home, moving from study into work, a visa renewal or a PR application. The 4th house speaks to property, the 10th to career, and the 9th and 12th to life away from the country of birth. Read with your dasha and the slow movement of Saturn and Jupiter, they show when a big commitment has support and when it may be wiser to wait a season.
This guidance sits beside, never in place of, advice from your agent, lender or employer.
Puja and fasting days on Adelaide’s clock
Adelaide lies well to the west of Sydney, so the sun rises here noticeably later. The tithi in force at local sunrise sets the day, and when a tithi changes close to dawn, that difference can move an Ekadashi fast or a puja to another date. The Antaryami Patro and Panchang work from Adelaide’s own sunrise and clock, so the day you see is the day to observe here, without converting from Nepal or Sydney time.
Questions people ask
Why is Adelaide half an hour different?
South Australia keeps its clocks half an hour behind the eastern states all year. Your booking is shown in Adelaide time, so there is nothing to calculate.
Is there an in-person option for Adelaide?
In-person consultations are held only in Queanbeyan, near Canberra. From Adelaide, phone or video is the practical choice, and the reading is the same.
Can visiting parents from Nepal join the call?
Of course. Many families sit together for the call, and the reading can be given in Nepali so that everyone follows it.
How much does a consultation cost?
