Nepali Jyotish in Dallas–Fort Worth
Dallas–Fort Worth has become one of the biggest Nepali communities in the United States — about 22,000 people, according to a Pew analysis of 2023 American Community Survey data, out of roughly 264,000 Nepal-born people across the country (UN, 2024). Many came for study or work, built a life in Texas, and still turn to a Jyotishi when the big decisions arrive.
Jyotish Prakash Basistha has read Kundalis since 2007/08 and consults from the Canberra region in Australia, in Nepali or English. The distance sounds awkward, but the clocks are kind to Texas: an early-evening call in Dallas usually lands in his morning, so you can talk after work without staying up half the night.

Booking a Kundali reading from Dallas
Open his profile, pick a slot, and enter the birth date, time and place of the person the reading is for. The booking shows in Central time on your side, so you never have to work out what day it is in Australia. The call is by phone or video; nothing needs to be installed.
The windows that suit most people in North Texas are late afternoon and evening on a weekday, which fall in his morning, or a weekend evening. The booking page shows his open times in Dallas time, with daylight saving on both sides already worked out.
H-1B, green card and the career question
A lot of Nepalis in Dallas live with one eye on the immigration calendar: an H-1B renewal, a priority date that barely moves, an employer change that might reset things. People ask whether this is the year to switch jobs, start a business, or wait. Your dasha and the movement of Saturn and Jupiter through your chart show which periods favour bold moves and which favour holding steady.
Be clear on one thing: a Jyotishi does not replace an immigration lawyer. Petitions, deadlines and eligibility are legal questions for a lawyer. What a reading can offer is perspective on timing and temperament, so you go into those decisions calmer.
Kundali matching when one family is in Texas and the other in Nepal
Marriage talks often stretch across oceans now. A son in Texas, parents in Pokhara, a girl’s family in Kathmandu or in another US state — and everyone wants the Kundalis looked at before anyone says yes. The matching is the same wherever people live: both charts read together, the guna milan as a starting point rather than a verdict, the 7th house, Venus and Mars, and the dashas each person is entering.
If it is a love marriage and the families want reassurance, the reading is not there to pass or fail the couple. It is there to show where the two of you will understand each other easily and where you will need patience — something worth knowing before the wedding, wherever it is held.

Single in Dallas and wondering when love will come
Long shifts, a commute on the freeway and a small social circle make it hard to meet anyone, and the family back home keeps asking. Some people come simply single and ready to mingle, wanting to know whether the next year or two looks open for a relationship. Others are hoping to find the love of his life or her life and want to understand why it has not happened yet.
Your chart can show the periods when partnership is strongly emphasised and the kind of person you are drawn to. It cannot name a date or a face, and nobody honest will promise you one.
When a relationship gets hard far from home
Without parents and relatives nearby, a couple in Texas often carries everything alone — two jobs, children, money sent home, and nobody to cool things down after an argument. A reading looks at both charts to see which tensions come from temperament and which belong to a passing difficult period, so you can talk about them rather than blame each other.
Buying your first home in Texas
For many families here, a house is the moment America starts to feel permanent. The common questions are whether this year is right to buy, and whether to stretch for a bigger place now or wait. The 4th house, its lord and the current dasha speak to home and settledness, and a muhurta can be chosen for signing or for the griha pravesh. Your lender and agent still decide the numbers.
Questions people ask
What is the best time to call from Dallas?
Usually late afternoon or evening in Dallas, which is his morning in Australia. The booking page lists his open times in Central time, and a booked session always appears in your own time zone.
Can a Jyotishi tell me if my green card will come this year?
No one can honestly promise that. A reading can show whether the period ahead favours change or patience in your career and residence, but your case itself is a matter for an immigration lawyer.
I pay in US dollars. How does the price work?
It is straightforward. Prices on his profile are in US dollars, and your card is charged in US dollars — no conversion, and the amount is shown before you pay.
My parents only know my birth date in Bikram Sambat. Is that enough?
Yes. The Antaryami date converter turns a BS date into the English date. If the birth time is not known, mention it when booking and the reading is approached accordingly.
Can I meet him in person in Texas?
No. In-person consultations are only in Queanbeyan, Australia. From Dallas every consultation is by phone or video, with your chart prepared before the call.
