See your life
in a clearer light.

Facing a decision, a hard period or a question about your path? I'm a Jyotiṣa Paṇḍita, trained in India. I read your birth chart in the traditional Vedic way and explain what I see and why, so you can meet what comes with more clarity.

New to Jyotiṣa?

  1. What it is

    Jyotiṣa, the science of light, is the traditional astrology of India and one of the six limbs of the Veda. Its classical teachings come down from the sages Parāśara and Jaimini. It reads the sky as it stood at the moment and place of your birth: your birth chart, the janma kuṇḍalī.

  2. What it can show

    Your nature and strengths, the life periods (daśā) you move through, and when the time supports a step. It shows tendencies and their causes, not a fixed fate.

  3. What you need

    Your date, time and place of birth. If you only know your time roughly, that's fine: I rectify every chart from events in your life.

What I can help with

Most people come with something on their mind. These are the questions I hear most often. A consultation can cover one of them or several.

About me

I'm Marcell. In Hungarian the family name comes first, which is why you see Horváth Marcell here; Marcell is simply what people call me.

I'm a Jyotiṣa Paṇḍita: paṇḍita means a learned one, a title earned through years of study. For more than 13 years I have studied under my Guruji, Pt. Sanjay Rath, and the teachers of the Sri Jagannath Center, in India.

I am still learning, and I keep researching the classical texts alongside my consultations.

How I work

A consultation isn't about me or about clever predictions. It's about giving you the information you actually need, explained so you can see where it comes from.

  • Causes, not verdicts

    I show you why your chart points where it does, so you understand your situation.

  • Precise: every chart rectified

    Your rising sign changes about every two hours, and the finest divisions of a chart within minutes. So I always rectify your birth time first, then check each conclusion from more than one angle.

  • Traditional knowledge, modern tools

    Classical techniques from my lineage, worked out with software I build myself.

oṁ śrī gurubhyo namaḥ

In the tradition of Śrī Acyutānanda Dāsa

Jyotiṣa is passed from teacher to student, from the sages Parāśara and Jaimini down to today. What I offer rests on an unbroken lineage from Odisha, and on what my teachers have given me.

  1. Śrī Acyutānanda Dāsa

    Sixteenth-century saint of Odisha, who began the Jyotiṣa tradition this lineage carries.

  2. Pt. Jagannātha Rath

    Honoured as Jyotiṣa Ratna, and a devoted worshipper of Śiva.

  3. Pt. Kāśīnātha Rath

    Who initiated Sanjay Rath into the Gāyatrī mantra.

  4. Pt. Sanjay Rath

    My Guruji, who founded the Sri Jagannath Center in 1998 and teaches the tradition to students around the world.

Research and software

Alongside consultations, I research classical techniques and build software for Jyotiṣa.

Research studies

I study classical techniques and test them carefully on real lives. I will share what I learn in articles.

Software

I build tools that make the classical calculations easier to use and easier to check.

Questions before you book

What people usually ask before booking.

Ask me anything
What happens after I pay?

I contact you personally on WhatsApp, Telegram or by email, whichever you chose. I ask about you and about a few events in your life, and we find a time for the consultation.

Do I need my exact birth time?

I always rectify the birth time before I read a chart, because its finer details change within minutes. A rough window is enough to start, such as "early morning" or "between two and four". I then fix the exact time from events in your life.

How should I prepare for a consultation?

Have your date, time and place of birth ready, and think about what you would like to understand. I will ask for a few dates from your life, such as moves, new jobs, a marriage or the birth of a child.

Is it online, and in which language?

Yes, we talk on a WhatsApp or Telegram call. I consult in English and Hungarian.

Can I move the consultation?

Yes. Let me know as early as you can, and we find another time.

How do I pay?

By card, through a secure payment page. I begin once the payment has arrived.

Would you like to look at your chart together?

Tell me what you would like to book and how to reach you. I read every message myself.

Next you pay €108 by card on Stripe's secure page.
