Shubhangi Ranade

Shubhangi Ranade grew up in Pune's Sadashiv Peth neighbourhood, where her maternal grandmother kept a small cabinet of rough stones, amethyst, black tourmaline, a chunk of rose quartz wrapped in red cloth. It was that cabinet, and later a year-long intensive with crystal practitioner Rekha Krishnan at the Healing Chambers in Bandra, that pulled Shubhangi into this work. She layered in Jaimini astrology through self-study under a Mumbai-based Jaimini scholar, spending three years on Upadesa Sutras before she felt ready to combine chart reading with vibrational healing.

Shubhangi reads a birth chart the way a geologist reads rock strata, looking for where energy is blocked, compressed, or simply waiting to move. She cross-maps Jaimini's Chara Dasha periods with specific crystal protocols: different stones for different planetary periods, different placements on the body depending on which house is activated. She will not promise cures, will not tell you which stone makes you rich overnight, and refuses to pathologise clients. Her line is always: the chart shows the weather, the crystal work helps you dress for it.

Most of the people who come to Shubhangi are navigating transitions, career pivots, relationship endings, post-illness recovery, creative blocks. They usually arrive sceptical about crystals and leave with a short, specific practice they can actually do at home. She focuses on actionable protocols rather than elaborate altar setups, because she knows her clients are busy Mumbai people who need something real, not something Instagram-ready.
