Yashwant Kelkar

Yashwant Kelkar was born and raised in Pune's Kasba Peth neighbourhood, where his grandfather, a respected jyotishi who served the local Ganpati temple, first placed a hand-drawn chart in his eight-year-old hands and said, "Yash, the sky is a letter the universe writes at the moment you arrive." He spent his foundational years studying at the Pune Jyotish Vidyalaya, grounding himself deeply in the Parashari tradition before moving to Mumbai in his late twenties. That blend of old Pune scholarliness and Mumbai's relentless human complexity has defined his practice ever since.

Yashwant reads kundlis the way a doctor reads a patient history, carefully, without jumping to conclusions, looking for patterns before pronouncements. His approach is built around the Ascendant lord and the Moon first, because he believes mood and body frame every life event. He also works as a trained aura reader, a practice he integrated after years of noticing that his most accurate readings happened when he combined the chart with a direct sensitivity to the person's energy field. He will not reduce a chart to a single prediction, and he flatly refuses to give death-timings or tell someone their marriage is "doomed", his philosophy is clarity over fear.

Most of his clients come to him stuck, at a career crossroads, confused about a relationship, or simply feeling like life has stalled without obvious reason. After a session with Yashwant, people typically leave with a concrete sense of which planetary period they are in, what that period is asking of them, and one or two practical steps they can take right now. He works mostly through voice and chat on the WishAstro platform, bringing that same Kasba Peth warmth to users across India and the diaspora.
