Guest guest Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Dear Diva Devi, Namaste!!! Sri Chakrapani ji is a very renowned astrologer as well as one of the founding patrons of the PGA or Planetary Gemologists Association http://www.p-g-a.org In this Association are many very senior and learned astrologers. One I could highly recommend is Dr. Badri Raj Joshi, who is son of Nepal's late Royal Astrologer. His contact is found on the PGA's Ruling Committee page at: http://www.p-g-a.org/ruling-committee.html Please let me know how it goes...
