How to prepare for your first astrology consultation

1. Decide what you want to discuss

Start with your present situation rather than your whole life story. Write three sentences: what is happening, what you are considering and what you want to understand. For example: “I am returning to work after a break. I am considering my old field and a new course. I want to discuss how I approach change.” Then choose one main question and two supporting questions.

Useful questions leave space for explanation: “How do you interpret this theme?” or “Which part of my question can this reading address?”

2. Choose a service around that question

Use the subject and available time to guide your choice. Tell Anup Roy your main question before booking if the best fit is unclear.

• Career: a focused discussion about work or study; the listed duration is 30–45 minutes.
• Birth chart: a broader chart-based discussion; the listed duration is 45–60 minutes.
• General: a starting point for an open question; the listed duration is 30 minutes.

3. Gather a short set of relevant details

For a birth-chart discussion, gather your birth date, place and time, including where the time came from. Clearly mark an unknown or approximate time. Add a brief timeline of the situation you want to discuss, using dates only where they matter. Include relevant experience or choices, rather than a collection of unrelated predictions from different sources.

Ask which details the chosen service needs. Share enough context to explain the question; you do not need to begin by sending every personal document you own.

4. Prepare for the format you choose

For an online appointment, confirm the connection details and your local appointment time. Check your device, sound and connection beforehand, and choose a quiet place where you can speak comfortably. Keep your questions and birth details within reach.

For an in-person visit, confirm the meeting place in Benachity, Durgapur, and directions before travelling. Ask about any access needs in advance. In either format, agree your preferred language—English, Bengali or Hindi—and whether anyone else will join.

5. Suggest a simple agenda

For a 30-minute general consultation, you could propose this order. It is a planning example, not a promise about how every session proceeds.

• Opening: state the main question and check any information needed for the discussion.
• Main discussion: explore that question, using your relevant examples.
• Clarification: ask about unfamiliar terms, the reasoning and any uncertainty.
• Closing: repeat your understanding and identify what you will reflect on or check.

6. Leave with clear notes and a next step

You can pause to ask for simpler language or say that an interpretation does not match your experience. Before the session ends, repeat the main points in your own words. In your notes, distinguish what you reported, what the astrologer interpreted and what remains uncertain.

Afterward, choose one manageable action, such as gathering missing information or reflecting on a specific question. Check what the booking includes before expecting a written report or further discussion. Ask how any follow-up questions should be arranged.
