Charting Possibilities - Astrology as Guidance with Dr Nisha Sharma - S2E50


Listen Later

Episode summary 

In our first Hindi episode, Dr. Nisha Sharma walks us through her extraordinary journey from childhood intuition to a life devoted to astrology (Jyotish), Vastu, Reiki healing and past-life regression. This conversation reframes astrology as a guidance system — not fatalism — and connects practical remedies (color therapy, mantras, meditation) with karma, free will and everyday change. We also demystify common myths (Kaal Sarp, Manglik, Shukra-Mangal) and discuss how to find a trustworthy astrologer in the age of WhatsApp astrology.


What you’ll learn in this episode

  • How Dr. Nisha’s childhood experiences, academics and spirituality converged into a career in Jyotish and healing.
  • Why astrology should be treated as guidance to choose the right path, not as destiny stamped in stone.
  • The role of free will vs. karmic tendencies — and how astrology can help you make better choices.
  • Practical, non-mystical remedies: colors, gemstones, mantra, meditation, lifestyle and seva/charity.
  • How to spot a trustworthy astrologer (intuition, experience, spiritual grounding).
  • Debunking myths: Kaal Sarp Yog, Manglik stigma, Shukra-Mangal misconceptions, and the limits of quick app horoscopes.
  • Real-life examples: accurate predictions, IVF success story and how small remedies + timing helped transform outcomes.

Key takeaways (bullet points)

  • Astrology = guidance. Treat horoscopes and charts as a directional tool to choose among options, not as an absolute fate.
  • Free will matters. Birth potentials are not limits; effort + timing + remedies shift outcomes.
  • Remedies are practical. Colors, mantras, meditation, lifestyle changes and sincere seva have measurable psychological and energetic benefits.
  • Find astrologers carefully. Look for spiritual grounding, experience, resonance with you, and ethical practice.
  • Beware generic content. WhatsApp/YouTube horoscopes are generic; personal charts are unique — consult a skilled practitioner for life decisions.
  • Myths need nuance. Labels like “Manglik” or “Kaal Sarp” are often misunderstood — context and chart details matter.
