Hi, I’m Shivanshu Pande, a Vedic Astrologer, author, and engineer based in India. I help people understand themselves through the lens of classical Jyotisha, the ancient science of timing, karma, and self-knowledge.
My Astrology Journey
I’ve practiced Vedic Astrology for over five years. The path began with self-study and continued under the direct guidance of a guru. In 2025, I earned my Diploma in Vedic Astrology, formalising what had been a deeply personal devotional practice.
My approach draws from classical Sanskrit sources: Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Bhrigu Sutram, and Brihat Jataka. I’m not interested in entertainment astrology or generic horoscope content. I do classical, depth-oriented readings for people who want real understanding about timing, dharma, relationships, and the patterns their chart reveals.
I am a Shakti-bhakt, and for me, Jyotisha is a form of sadhana. Not entertainment, not prediction-for-its-own-sake. The precise mathematics of the planets at the moment of your first breath encode patterns about your life; my work is to read those patterns honestly and offer them back to you with care.
My Background
- Bachelor of Engineering (Computer Science) · BMS College of Engineering · First Class with Distinction · 2023
- Master of Science in Data Science & Artificial Intelligence · BITS Pilani · expected 2028 · Distinction · SGPA 9.5+
- Diploma in Vedic Astrology · 2025
- Certificate of Participation, Intermediate Organizational Psychology · Cognizavest · Jan to Feb 2024. An interdisciplinary interest that informs how I read the human dimension of a chart.
- Three years of professional experience in SAP, Cloud, Data Analytics, and Data Engineering. Currently in active practice.
- UGC NET aspirant.
The combination of classical training, computer-science precision, and devotional practice is what shapes the depth and accuracy of every chart I read.
Beyond Astrology
My professional work in software engineering, data, and AI isn’t separate from my Jyotisha practice. The same precision and care for detail informs both. The mathematics of planetary positions and the mathematics of data engineering share the same foundation: read what is actually there, not what you assume to be there. Honestly, I was amazed to see the similarity between the Central Limit Theorem and astrological prediction. The art and the science of prediction feel deeply linked.
I also write, both for my personal blog and as a published author. My debut book What the Days Revealed is a collection of reflections, poems, and personal stories drawn from a life lived attentively. Several more books have followed, gathered together on The Bookshelf.
Outside academics and work, I’m an avid traveler. Over the past three years, I’ve covered more than 25,000 kilometers across India, exploring its diverse cultures, terrains, and stories. Travel deepens my understanding of dharma in lived practice. I love to meet people and listen to their lives.

Books, essays, and reflections drawn from a life of practice
If you want to learn Vedic astrology yourself, follow the seven-book classical course from foundations to full chart synthesis. If you’d rather read the reflections and poems shaped by a life lived attentively, that room is here too. Some books guide the mind. Some guide the life. These are meant to do both.
