What does a consultation cost?
Each service has its own fee, and it is shown as soon as you
choose one in the enquiry form. An astrology consultation is
₹5,500 — one sitting with your chart open, covering
the chart itself, the year ahead, life direction and whatever
you most want to ask. Choosing a muhurat is ₹3,500.
Career and marriage guidance are ₹5,500, business and
wealth guidance ₹8,500, and a couple’s compatibility
consultation ₹9,500. A life roadmap — career,
relationships, wealth and the phases ahead, taken together in
ninety minutes — is ₹17,500.
Numerology is priced by what is being read: your own numbers
₹3,500, a detailed reading ₹5,500, a name analysis
and correction ₹6,500, a business or brand name
₹8,500, a mobile or vehicle number ₹3,500, a written
life report ₹7,500, and a complete consultation across
every major area ₹12,500.
Vastu is priced by service rather than by the hour, with a
separate fee for a visit to the property — a home is
₹8,500 online or ₹15,000 for a visit, an office
₹15,000 or ₹25,000, and larger commercial premises
more. Visits in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane are included in
the fee; further afield the fee is unchanged and travel is added
at cost, agreed with you before the appointment.
How does the consultation actually happen?
Online, as a video call. You receive a calendar invitation with a
Google Meet link once a time is confirmed. Vastu site visits are
in person across Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane and Pune; everywhere
else a property can be assessed from its floor plan.
What language will we speak?
English, Hindi or Marathi — whichever you are most
comfortable in. Mention it in your enquiry and it will be
arranged.
I don't know my exact birth time. Can I still ask?
Yes. Give your best estimate and say in your question that you are
unsure. Birth time affects some parts of a chart more than others,
and Acharya Gautam will tell you what can and cannot be read
confidently from what you have.
How soon will I hear back?
Within a day or two. Acharya Gautam reads every enquiry himself,
which is why it is not instant.
Can I cancel or reschedule?
Cancel more than 12 hours before a booked consultation and you
receive a full refund. Inside 12 hours it will be rescheduled once
at no cost. Once a consultation has taken place it cannot be
refunded, because the work has been done. The full terms are in the
refund policy.
Are there questions you won’t answer?
Yes, and they are worth stating plainly. Acharya Gautam does not
predict the sex of an unborn child, does not predict death or its
timing, does not diagnose illness or advise against medical
treatment, and does not guarantee any outcome. Questions about a
court matter are read as questions of timing — nothing said is
legal advice or a prediction of how a case will be decided.
Will I be told something frightening?
No. Guidance here is for reflection and for making your own
decisions. Acharya Gautam does not diagnose illness and does not
predict death, and no outcome is guaranteed. If a chart shows a
difficult period, you will be told what it is and what can
reasonably be done about it.
