Interview by The Success Today
Could you tell us about yourself and your work?
Hi !
I am Dr. Meghana Upadhye, a structural engineer turned astrologer and Vastu Consultant, with a
PhD in Vedic astrology. I am also a certified KP Jyotish Acharya, Vastu Acharya, Numerologist,
Gemstone Consultant, and Face Reader. My journey into astrology began in childhood, inspired by a
deep curiosity about cosmic energies and their influence on human life.
In 2017, I formally pursued my passion, culminating in a PhD where I was awarded a gold medal for
my thesis. My thesis has been approved by IAMA University of Florida, USA. During this time, I
founded Ishanya Astrovastu Consultancy to provide personalized guidance in astrology, Vastu, and
gemstones. Over the years, I have helped countless families and businesses achieve harmony, success,
and balance through tailored solutions.
My structural engineering background enhances my Vastu consultations, allowing me to blend science
with traditional wisdom for practical, effective results. My work has been widely recognized.
In addition to astrology, I am an accomplished artist, specializing in portraits and still-life drawings. My
mission is to empower people through knowledge, positivity, and holistic living solutions.
How you and your service is helping society?
Through my work in astrology, Vastu Shastra, Numerology and gemstone consulting, I strive to
create a positive impact on society by guiding individuals and families toward harmony, success, and
well-being. At Ishanya Astrovastu Consultancy, I offer personalized solutions rooted in ancient wisdom,
helping clients navigate challenges and align their lives with cosmic energies.
Astrology plays a pivotal role in providing clarity and direction. By analysing horoscopes, I help people
understand their strengths, overcome obstacles, and make informed decisions about their careers,
relationships, health, and more. My expertise in Vastu Shastra allows me to transform living and
working spaces into environments that promote peace, prosperity, and productivity by correcting energy
imbalances and optimising layouts.
Numerology, Gemstone recommendations and Face reading add another layer of support by enhancing
positive vibrations and mitigating negative influences, fostering holistic growth and stability. These
services have brought significant improvements to many lives, from financial stability to better
relationships and personal fulfilment.
Beyond consultations, I share my knowledge through workshops and mentorship, empowering others
to explore the transformative potential of astrology and Vastu. My mission is to blend traditional
wisdom with practical solutions, helping society lead balanced, meaningful lives in alignment with
natural energies.
What is the USP of your work?
The unique selling point (USP) of my work lies in the seamless integration of ancient wisdom with
modern practicality, offering holistic solutions tailored to individual needs. With a rare combination of
a structural engineering background and expertise in Vedic astrology, Vastu Shastra, numerology, and
gemstone consulting, I provide a comprehensive approach that is both scientifically sound and
spiritually enriching.
My deep understanding of Vastu Shastra, coupled with my engineering knowledge, allows me to assess
spaces with precision and recommend effective corrections that enhance energy flow without
compromising functionality. Similarly, my expertise in astrology ensures that my guidance is
personalized, aligning with each client’s planetary influences and life path.
Another distinctive aspect of my work is the incorporation of gemstone therapy, which adds a natural
and powerful dimension to personal growth and problem-solving. I also focus on non-disruptive,
practical remedies, making it easier for clients to implement changes and experience positive
transformations.
Moreover, my dedication to empowering others through knowledge—via consultations, workshops, and
mentorship—sets my work apart. I strive to make astrology and Vastu accessible, blending traditional
principles with modern insights to help clients achieve harmony, success, and a fulfilling life.
What are your Vision and Mission?
My vision is to bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern living by making astrology, Vastu
Shastra, and holistic remedies accessible and relevant to today’s world. I aspire to empower individuals
and families to achieve harmony, success, and happiness through personalised guidance and practical
solutions. By fostering awareness and understanding of cosmic and spatial energies, I aim to contribute
to a balanced and spiritually enriched society where people thrive personally and professionally.
My mission is to provide transformative insights and solutions that address the unique challenges of my
clients. Through Ishanya Astrovastu Consultancy, I strive to guide individuals in aligning their lives
with natural and cosmic energies, creating harmonious living and working spaces, and fostering
personal growth. I am committed to offering accurate and ethical consultations rooted in Vedic
astrology, Vastu Shastra, and gemstone therapy, ensuring my clients experience meaningful and lasting
improvements in their lives.
Additionally, I aim to educate and inspire others by sharing my knowledge through workshops,
mentorship, and thought leadership. By combining traditional principles with a modern approach, I seek
to make a positive impact, enabling people to lead fulfilling lives aligned with their true potential.
What are your achievements in this Industry?
Ans: I am honored to have achieved several milestones in my career as an astrologer, Vastu consultant,
and numerologist. I received a gold medal for my PhD thesis in Vedic Astrology, which was further
approved by the prestigious IAMA University of Florida, USA, showcasing the global recognition of
my work.
My expertise and dedication have been celebrated in the media, with features on the covers and
interviews in two renowned magazines. I was also privileged to win the Most Inspiring Woman
Astrologer award at the Visionary Woman Awards, recognizing my efforts to empower individuals
through astrology.
Additionally, I was honoured with the Most Iconic Astrologer, Numerologist, and Vastu Expert award
by The Success Today group, reflecting my holistic approach to creating harmony and success in
people’s lives. Winning the City Excellence Awards 2024 has further motivated me to continue striving
for excellence in my field.
These achievements are a testament to my commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of my
clients and contributing to the growth of the astrology and Vastu community worldwide.
Does your work ever feel tedious to you? If so, how do stay driven and motivated towards it?
Ans: While my work can be intricate and demanding, it has never felt tedious because of the profound
impact it has on people’s lives. Each consultation, whether it’s analysing a horoscope, designing a
harmonious space with Vastu Shastra, or recommending the right gemstone, is an opportunity to bring
positivity and transformation. The uniqueness of every individual’s journey keeps my work dynamic
and inspiring.
However, like any profession, there are moments of challenge, especially when dealing with complex
cases or balancing multiple responsibilities. During such times, my passion for helping others and my
deep love for astrology and Vastu keep me motivated. The gratitude and success stories from my clients
act as powerful reminders of why I chose this path.To stay driven, I continuously learn and evolve, exploring ancient texts, attending seminars, and
connecting with experts in the field. Meditation and self-reflection also play a vital role in recharging
my energy and staying focused. I remind myself of my mission to empower people and make a
difference, which fills me with purpose. This alignment of passion, purpose, and continuous growth
ensures that my work remains fulfilling and rewarding, no matter the challenges.
What are your hobbies and specific interests other than your profession?
Ans: Beyond my profession, I am deeply passionate about fine arts, particularly drawing and painting.
Art has always been a significant part of my life, offering me a creative outlet and a sense of tranquillity.
Specialising in realistic portraits and still-life drawings, I enjoy capturing emotions and details using
colour pencils and pastels. My artworks have been featured in exhibitions, calendars, and have even
adorned the walls of clients’ homes and resorts. I am also a recipient of Kalaratnam and Artist of the
Year awards.
Reading is another hobby I cherish, especially books on astrology, mythology, and ancient sciences,
which enrich my knowledge and perspective. I also enjoy exploring new subjects, which fuels my
curiosity and keeps me inspired.
When I’m not working or creating art, I love spending quality time with my family. Being married to a
chief engineer in the merchant navy, I often cherish the moments we spend together as a family when
he is home. Traveling with him and our children has given me the opportunity to experience diverse
cultures and traditions, which adds depth to my understanding of people and energies.
These hobbies not only bring me joy but also complement my professional life, helping me maintain
balance and creativity in everything I do.
You have achieved so much in life, any specific advice you’d like to share with our readers to grow
in life.
My journey has taught me that success is a blend of passion, perseverance, and a willingness to
learn continuously. To grow in life, the first step is to believe in your dreams, no matter how big or
small. Set clear goals, break them into achievable milestones, and stay consistent in your efforts.
Challenges are inevitable, but they are also opportunities for growth. Instead of fearing failures, embrace
them as valuable lessons. Patience and resilience are key to overcoming obstacles and staying focused
on your path. Remember, success is not an overnight process—it’s the result of dedication and a positive
mindset.
Never stop learning. Expand your knowledge and skills by staying curious and open to new experiences.
Whether through formal education, books, or interactions with inspiring individuals, continuous growth
will keep you ahead.
Most importantly, stay humble and grounded. Share your success with others by inspiring and
supporting them in their journeys. The joy of making a positive impact is unparalleled.
Lastly, maintain balance in life. While chasing your dreams, don’t forget to nurture your relationships,
health, and inner peace. A fulfilling life is about harmonizing personal and professional growth, driven
by passion and purpose.
