"I'm hearing some great things about your consultation accuracy from a lot of people, they can't thank me enough!!" - Kapiel Raaj, KRS Channel YouTube

"Vaughn Paul Manley is awesome! I just completed my reading with him and I have to say that he went above and beyond in giving me the time I needed for no extra charge. My time of birth had to be corrected and he helped me figure it out, giving me advice that was apt and specific and 100% correct. I would highly recommend Mr. Manley to anyone who is sitting on the fence about getting a reading!! JUST DO IT!! You will not be sorry! He is the best!! Kind, empathetic & a great astrologer."

What is Vedic Astrology?
Introduction to Vedic Astrology

Vedic astrology is the traditional system of astrology of India that is at least 4000 years old. It is also known as Jyotish, Indian astrology, Eastern astrology, or Hindu astrology. It has recently gained popularity in the West because of its accuracy in predicting events and major trends in our lives. Vedic astrology is an excellent tool for helping us understand our dharma or life purpose as well as for giving us specific timetables for making decisions about career, finances, relationship, health, spiritual growth, etc. It is based on the sidereal zodiac which calculates the positions of the planets according to observable astronomy.
