Getting into Astrology and Vastu as a Career

Hi, I am Atishuchi, a professional Astrologer and Vastu consultant based in Bangalore.
Since my early life in school and college I was attracted towards knowledge of planets and their effect on human lives. As I lived in Ujjain, a city being one of the center of studies related to astrology and ancient texts, I had aspiration to understand more about it.
However after my post graduation in Arts, I had taken up a career in textile design and I reached city of Surat where major activities in Saree designs and printing used to happen. I started briefly with Garden sarees and subsequently took up a job at Man made textile research association (MANTRA). I used to develop new designs on latest software and it provided sufficient impetus for articulating my creative expression of mind.
Gaining knowledge of astrology and vastu.
At the same time I was also attracted towards knowledge of smell and fragrances and their effect on human subconscious to help alleviate health related problems. I learned Aromatherapy and started practicing it in parallel, there was lot of good response in late ninties as it was a new subject in India. We later shifted to city of Pune and I continued to practice it there.
With passage of time we moved to Bangalore and as I had entreprenurial aspirations, I started a catering business. It was a very challenging business as I was managing the production, packaging, distribution on my own with the help of support staff. We were competing with brands like iD in one of the product line. It was an end to end food value chain experience and I could learn new things. However this business required larger scale up to increase profitability, and I was not ready to put up enough resources including my time along with other responsibilites so I made a successful exit by selling it off.
Along with the Aromatherapy, I had started learning astrology as deep within I had a craving to know more about this subject and aromatherapy practice also needed certain knowledge of individual's planetary situation. I had started with Vedic Parashiri astrology and Astrological - Vastu which is a subject less practiced till today. Gradually I started practicing Astrology and learning more about streams like KP Astrology, Western theory, Lalkitab, Mahavastu etc.
After selling off of my catering business, I have complete focus on my passion and I started full time practice of Astrology and Vastu. I have been doing Vastu consultation of various commercial establishments like factories, offices, hospitals etc. In residential I have been doing various individual apartments, Villa projects, plotting layout etc. We support clients in India and abroad. I started a company [ShubhAstro] (www.shubhvastro.com) along with my partner Madhuri Baheti and we have a website dedicated to our practice.
The objective of Astrology and Vastu.
Underlying idea in astrology and vastu is to help people in their tough times to generate hope and channelise their efforts and manifest their mind towards finding success to reach solutions. Once there is precision in this career line, it gives returns in form of consulting fees and one can progress into this career path continuously as this is so vast knowledge that there is life long learning. I found my career satisfaction and stability in my first passion and I would advice all the new career aspirants to identify your passion early and go towards it.
