Nepali Jyotish in Hobart
Tasmania surprises people. At the 2021 Census it was home to 6,219 people born in Nepal, and Glenorchy, in Hobart’s north, had 2,147 of them on its own. For a small state, that is a strong, close-knit Nepali community, and with it comes the same need families have everywhere: a Jyotishi to talk to when it matters.
Jyotish Prakash Basistha has read Kundalis since 2007/08 and has consulted in Australia since 2016. He is based in Queanbeyan near Canberra, on the same clock as Hobart, and consults with Tasmania by phone or video in Nepali or English.

Booking a reading from Hobart or anywhere in Tasmania
Across Bass Strait or not, the process is the same. Pick a time on his profile, add the birth date, time and place, and pay online. Hobart and Queanbeyan change their clocks on the same days, so the time on your booking is simply your time. You will get a link for a phone or video call, and the Kundali is ready before you join.
Many families keep birth dates in Bikram Sambat. The date converter turns them into English dates in a moment.
Kundali matching in a close community
In a community where families often know each other well, a proposal can feel almost settled before the Kundalis are even looked at. A careful match still matters. Beyond the guna total, the 7th house of each chart, Venus and Mars, Mangal Dosha and its cancellation, and the dashas the couple will share are all considered. If there is something to be mindful of, it is said gently and clearly so the families can decide together.

When will love arrive?
In a small city it is easy to feel that your chances are limited. Your chart takes a longer view. It shows the periods when the 7th house and Venus are activated, which is when new relationships tend to begin and existing ones move toward commitment. Whether you are single and ready to mingle or have quietly given up looking, knowing that a better period is coming can change how you approach the next year.
The question sounds a little different for a woman hoping to meet the love of her life than for a man hoping to find the love of his, but the chart answers both with the same care: timing, and the kind of partner who suits you.
When a marriage or relationship is struggling
In a close community, people are sometimes reluctant to talk about trouble at home with anyone local. A private call with a Jyotishi in another city can be easier. Reading both partners’ charts helps separate a difficult period from a deeper mismatch, and points to what each person can do with more patience and understanding.
Career, PR and buying a home in Tasmania
For many Tasmanian Nepalis the big questions are settling ones: a stable job, a visa or PR outcome, and a first home. The 10th house describes career, the 4th home and property, and the 9th and 12th the journey abroad. Read with your current dasha and the transits of Saturn and Jupiter, they show which years carry momentum and which call for patience.
Astrology does not replace your migration agent or your bank. It helps you understand the season you are in.
Festival days calculated for Hobart
Hobart is far south, and its sunrise differs noticeably from mainland cities through the year. Since tithis and the daily Panchang depend on local sunrise, the Antaryami Patro calculates them for Hobart itself, which is why today’s panchang on this page is specific to your city.

Is Hobart on the same time as the Jyotishi?
Yes. Tasmania and the Canberra region are on the same time all year, including daylight saving, so your booked time needs no conversion.
