Nepali Jyotish in Sydney
Sydney has the largest Nepali community in Australia — more than 59,000 Nepal-born people at the 2021 Census. Many of them still want what families at home have always had: a Jyotishi who reads the Kundali properly, in Nepali, and explains it plainly.
Jyotish Prakash Basistha has read Kundalis since 2007/08 and has consulted in Australia since 2016. Sydney is on the same clock as his home in the Canberra region, so a consultation fits around work and family — mornings, lunch breaks or after the kids are in bed.

How to book a Kundali reading from Sydney
Choose a time on the booking page, add the birth date, time and place of the person the reading is for, and pay securely online. You get a confirmation with the time in Sydney time and a link to join by phone or video. There is nothing to install, though the Antaryami app keeps your charts in one place if you want it.
If you do not know the exact birth time, say so when you book. A careful reading can still be done, and some questions — like marriage compatibility — can be approached without it.

Kundali matching for marriage in Sydney
Many Sydney families still match Kundalis before a marriage is agreed, whether the couple met at university in Sydney or the families were introduced through relatives in Nepal. A guna score on its own says little. What matters is reading both charts together: the 7th house, Venus and Mars, Mangal Dosha and whether it is cancelled, and the dasha periods each person is entering.
Love, relationships and being single in Sydney
Some people come with a relationship that has become difficult; others are single, busy with work and study, and want to know when the right person is likely to come. Your chart shows the periods when partnership is emphasised and the patterns you bring into relationships — useful whether you are looking for the love of your life or trying to understand the one you are in.

Career, visas and buying a home in Sydney
The questions Sydney Nepalis ask most after marriage are practical ones: whether a job change will work out, when a visa or PR decision is likely to move, and whether this is a good year to buy a house in a market as expensive as Sydney. A Jyotishi cannot replace your migration agent or your mortgage broker, but your dasha and the transits of Saturn and Jupiter show which years favour big commitments and which ask for patience.
Dashain, Tihar and puja dates in Sydney time
Tithis begin and end at different local times in Sydney than in Kathmandu, so the day a festival is observed here is occasionally different. The Antaryami Patro and Panchang calculate tithi, nakshatra and sunrise for Sydney itself, so you can see the correct day and time for puja without converting from Nepal time.
Questions people ask
Is there a Nepali astrologer in Sydney I can talk to in Nepali?
Yes. Jyotish Prakash Basistha consults in Nepali or English by phone or video. He is based in the Canberra region, on the same time as Sydney, and has consulted in Australia since 2016.
Can I meet in person in Sydney?
In-person consultations are in Queanbeyan, near Canberra. From Sydney, almost everyone books a phone or video call — the reading is the same, and your chart is prepared before the call.
What do I need for a reading?
The date, time and place of birth. If you only know the Nepali (Bikram Sambat) date, the Antaryami date converter turns it into the English date. If the birth time is unknown, mention it and the reading is adjusted.
How much does a consultation cost?
Current prices for calls and booked sessions are shown on Jyotish Prakash Basistha’s profile page, in US dollars, before you pay.
