Life, Destiny & the Stars: My Journey as a Seeker
They say nothing in life is a coincidence – and I’ve come to believe that deeply, especially through the lens of astrology. My journey began not with curiosity, but with loss. Twenty years ago, I lost someone very dear in a tragic accident. That moment shattered my world and set me on a relentless search for meaning. I knocked on every door that promised a glimmer of hope – books, people, traditions, silence.
It was during this soul-searching that I found my way to the ancient wisdom of the stars. Astrology, with its precision and depth, offered a structure to the chaos I was experiencing. I became a dedicated student of Astrology and Tarot and continue to deepen my learning each day.
Around the same time, my path crossed – karmically, I believe – with Bernard Fitzwalter, whose name I had once noticed in the India edition of Elle magazine, two decades ago. A renowned astrologer, former President of the Astrological Lodge of London, (of which I had no clue at that time) and long-time tutor at the Faculty of Astrological Studies, Bernard has been more than just a mentor. He has held space for my growth with rare patience and grace, often downplaying his influence by calling himself “just a magazine astrologer.” I owe much of my spiritual anchoring to him.
Tarot came into my life quietly, almost serendipitously. My first deck was a gift from a friend. The moment I held those cards, something clicked. It was like meeting a long-lost part of myself. What began as casual readings for friends turned into something far deeper. The accuracy of the insights surprised even me – and encouraged me to formally train. I am now a certified Tarot reader from TCBA – USA and a practicing Western astrologer as well. I have started studying the Vedic Shastra as well and now Vedic astrology is also a part of my consultations.
Yet, at heart, I remain a seeker. My work is grounded in both intuition and study, and I strive to blend the ancient astrological sciences with the sensitivity of energy reading. I offer personal readings – via phone with prior appointment (tarotbyanisha@gmail.com).
I do not claim to have all the answers. But I do know how to listen—to people, to the planets, to energies unseen – and help bring clarity when the path seems clouded. I believe we are each our own greatest teacher. Destiny may write the outlines, but we hold the pen.
At the end of it all—I’m just a reader.
A student.
Always learning.
Always listening.
