This is Manoj Iyer here from Mumbai.I am basically a Finance professional and having learnt vedic astrology in Kerala with 20 years of consulting experience in Mumbai.My way of predicting things is by comparing the birth chart with the transit chart and by mainly looking at the positions of the dasha and antar dasha ruling planets alongwith transits of other planets in the gochara from moon sign.I personally feel that an astrologer is just a human being created by god and nobody can replace god.
