In this enlightening episode of Changepreneurs, we sit downwith Honest Astrologer Mr. G Vijay Kumar to explore the deeper aspects of astrology, karma, and personal transformation. Vijay Kumar shares his candid insights on how astrology intersects with mindset, psychology, and self-discovery, shedding light on ancient wisdom and its relevance in today’s fast-paced world.

Tune in to uncover how astrology can be a tool forempowerment, self-awareness, and breaking free from limiting beliefs.

Mr G. Vijay Kumar is a second generation astrologer. He started learning astrology from my father at the age of 12-13 and he was consumed by it. However, he never thought of this as career.

He is an M. Com, MBA-HR and L.Lb. He has spent ~15 years working in multinational corporations. 

Initially he started out doing astrology as charity, was surprised to see that the domain honestastrologer.com was available even more surprised that the email id [email protected] was available. He saw that as a sign from gods and started this initiative and tried helping people. Started out answering a few questions on websites like Quora(https://www.quora.com/profile/G-Vijay-Kumar-10)

However, he was overwhelmed by response. With more and more time going into astrology and the love of people pouring in, he was at cross roads. Either he would have given up on astrology totally , or start charging a small amount. He took the call of charging a small amount and give a MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. 

His specialty and obsession have been the Big 3 Saturn Rahu and Ketu. They are my 3 best friends, I am also in the process of writing a book about these three. He spent a lot of time researching them and then branched into the productionand sale of Rahu, Ketu, and Shani Yantras (which are designed and energized by him) One should almost NEVER wear the stones related to them. Yantras thankfully have no sideeffects.
