Samir Upadhyay, Jyotirvid
I began my professional journey in astrology in 1992, supported by a scientific approach and a rich, inherited astrological family background. After completing my post-graduation in Geography, I started full-time astrological consultancy and research in April 1995.
Since May 1995, I have been writing for the national newspaper Dainik Hindustan, covering various aspects of astrology, socio-political events, and predictions for renowned personalities—many of which proved remarkably accurate.
Between 1997 and 2001, I also conducted several astrology programs broadcast on All India Radio (Akashvani), Patna.
Through extensive conversational interactions with clients on socio-political issues and personal challenges, I introduced a new conversational trend in astrology. Since 1995 to date, I have published more than one thousand articles in various national newspapers and magazines, covering a wide range of socio-political and astrological topics.
Also known as AstroSamir, I have made predictions for numerous world-famous personalities, many of which came true with great accuracy. After twelve years of consultancy and in-depth study of Vedic Indian astrology, I moved to the capital of India, Delhi, in January 2004.
From December 2005 to May 2012, I wrote a weekly column in the national Hindi daily Hindustan titled “Sitaron Ke Sitare”, focusing on horoscope analysis and future predictions of renowned celebrities.
Since November 2022, I have again been contributing regularly to Hindustan with a column titled “Aastha–Anastha”, where I publish articles on predictive astrology, the effects of various planetary combinations, socio-political developments, and planetary transits.
In addition to print media, I have appeared on several astrological programs aired on Doordarshan, Janmat, S-1, Azad News, and Sahara Samay national news channels, discussing socio-political issues and current affairs.
From July 2007 to May 2011, I hosted a weekly television show titled “Sitaron Ke Ishare” on Sahara Samay National News Channel, broadcast every Sunday from 9:30 AM to 10:00 AM. I later hosted another show, “Kismat Connection”, on Sahara Samay Bihar–Jharkhand Channel from May 2011 to October 2012, airing every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM.
From 1992 to 2025, I have examined more than one lakh twenty-five thousand horoscopes, including those of renowned actors, writers, politicians, doctors, sportspersons, business leaders, and social dignitaries. I help individuals understand the true potential, strengths, capabilities, and limitations reflected in their horoscopes.
I firmly believe that astrology reveals the most reliable and shortest path to success, offering meaningful and effective solutions to life’s challenges.
