Answers For Questions

Are these guides written by Master Vijay Ram?

Yes. Every guide carries his byline and reflects 40 years of practice as an astrologer and psychic. They are written to answer the questions people actually ask on the phone before booking, rather than to sell a service.

Do I have to believe in astrology to book a reading?

No. People come for many reasons, and plenty arrive sceptical. A reading is a structured conversation about your situation. Where something rests on tradition rather than evidence, an honest reader will tell you so, and these guides do the same.

Which guide should I read before a first appointment?

Start with what happens in a first astrology reading, then what to bring to your first consultation. If you are nervous, the guide for people who have never been to an astrologer covers that directly. If cost is your question, the pricing guide answers it plainly.

Do these guides replace a consultation?

No. They explain what a method involves and where its limits sit, which is general information. A reading works from your own birth details and your own question. Call (437) 214-2199 to arrange one.

Can a reading treat an illness or replace medical advice?

No. Nothing on this site diagnoses or treats any condition, and no reading should be used in place of a doctor. If a symptom worries you, see a physician first. The same applies to legal and financial matters, which belong with a professional.

How much does a reading cost and when can I call?

Readings start at $40 CAD and sessions usually run 45 to 90 minutes. The line is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, on (437) 214-2199. Consultations are given in English, French, Spanish, Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.

How are these guides organised, and how do I find the right one?

They are grouped into sections listed on this page: how a chart is built, what each kind of reading involves, cost and value, finding and checking a practitioner, readings in different languages, and separate sections describing Caribbean, African diaspora and Western folk traditions from the outside. If you are booking for the first time, start with the section on readings explained and the one on what to ask before you book. If you came here about a specific tradition, go to the section named for it.

Do these guides recommend one tradition over another?

No. Master Vijay Ram is a Vedic astrologer and psychic, and the guides say so plainly wherever another tradition is described. Obeah, Haitian Vodou, Lucumi, Orisha religion, Espiritismo, hoodoo and Wicca are described respectfully and accurately as other people's practices, and readers looking for those are pointed toward practitioners inside them rather than toward this practice.

Several guides ask for a birth time. Where is it recorded for someone born in Ontario?

On the Certified Copy of Birth Registration, ordered from ServiceOntario. It is not printed on the birth certificate, which is the document most people already have in a drawer, and ordering the wrong one costs money and weeks. If you were born outside Canada, ask for the full registry entry rather than the short certificate, because that is usually where the hour appears.
