Short-form testimonials:

  • Yaz was incredibly thorough with her reading. This was by far the most in depth reading I’ve ever had. I found that so much of what she said resonated with me, and unlike a lot of other readings she even had specific dates noted as transformative and important dates both in the past and future. She knows her stuff. I left feeling super positive about it!

  • My consultation with Yazi felt like such a divine gift. It gave voice to the quiet questions I’ve carried about my life and where I’m headed, and made space for me to really explore them further. She helped me connect the dots between my inner world and the bigger universe around me, in a way that felt both grounding and inspiring. The consultation gave greater meaning to my own existence and I left feeling more curious, connected, and open to my own path. My reading was incredibly thorough and I felt the dedication of the reading being based upon the spiritual fuision of the academic and hitorical record. I appreciated the kind, gracesous and nonjudgmental container Yazi created for me to experience this magic as wholly and completely as possible. EVERYONE would benefit from allowing themselves to learn more about their placement in this world through Yazi's unique gift.

  • My reading with Yaz exceeded any expectations that I may have had. This was my first Vedic reading and I was so shocked at how seen one could feel in a session like this. I’ve been struggling to find my path and my spark after a long period of lowness and Yaz was able to affirm that not only was that period normal (and reflected within my chart), but that things would get better. She gave suggestions that felt deeply intentional and tailored to me as a person. I would recommend anyone who is even remotely interested, to book a reading with Yaz. To be reminded of a blueprint that I may not have had access to prior to meeting Yaz was very special to me.

  • My consultation with Venus etc. was exceptional. Yaz’s passion and knowledge of Vedic astrology shines as she guides you through your chart. I found the whole experience to be insightful, grounding, and at times even a little ~spooky~ (in a fun way). I highly recommend a consultation to anyone who is even remotely curious.

  • My reading with Venus Etc really helped me understand myself better. It showed me why I often feel pulled between wanting love and wanting to be alone, and why I think so much instead of showing feelings. It made me feel calm and clear, and now I know I need to accept both sides of me to feel happy inside.

  • One of the most in-depth and relevant readings I’ve had. Yaz does an incredible job at deciphering and translating information, and I learned so much valuable information about myself and what’s coming next in various areas. I appreciated how personal Yaz is and really takes the time to listen and also relate to my chart. Fantastic overall and will be referencing this reading for the long haul!

Long-form, question-based submissions from my beloved earliest clients:

  • I was already excited to have my reading done, but I had no idea how moved by the experience I would be! Yaz approached our conversation with so much care and attention and I was blown away by the accuracy and insightfulness of what we talked about.

    I'd recommend a reading to anyone looking for reassurance that we are all part of something bigger than ourselves. There are energies outside of us and within us that can be a source of comfort and guidance if we tune in. I walked away feeling profoundly seen and supported by something outside of myself. I would also challenge anyone who is skeptical about Vedic Astrology to do a reading with Yaz! I would be amazed if they can walk away without their perspective changed.

    What was most insightful?:

    It was fascinating to hear things I've always loosely known about myself reflected back to me in my chart. It helped me gain a stronger sense of identity and appreciation for positive traits about myself and a stronger sense of forgiveness for things I wish were a little different. I was amazed at how accurately the movement of planets correlated with larger events in my life, sometimes down to the day.

    I knew almost nothing about Vedic Astrology going into my reading and was never very convinced by western astrology. I walked out feeling strongly that there are energies at play that influence our personhood, the paths that we choose, and many of the major shifts in our lives. I've since been feeling a deep sense of being seen and known by the universe in a way that I wasn't expecting. I've even been checking various Vedic Astrology websites lately to learn about current shifts in the planets and what that might mean energetically :)

  • My reading with Yaz was by far the most personal and rewarding experience I've had in a while. When she spoke about the aspects of my chart, I felt at times like she reflected parts of me I always knew were there, but had a hard time verbalizing or describing. Her insights about my past and present were so on point that when she spoke about my future, I couldn't help but feel a tremendous wave of hope and excited energy overtake me. It was reassuring to hear certain truths about my life's journey spoken back to me, especially from Yaz's insightful and beyond-her-years perspective. Her kindness, knowledge, and grace made even the most sensitive information approachable and digestible. I left the reading feeling more connected to my self and my path in this life.

    As someone who has been familiar with Western astrology for most of my life, it was groundbreaking to discover a system as complex and profound as the Eastern Vedic astrology system. I thoroughly enjoyed diving into the detailed explanations for how and why things happen, which I never felt I got from my experience with Western astrology or those who practice it.

    Accompanying every one of Yaz's insights about my chart was an in-depth explanation about the positions of the planets in play. Knowing the science behind each insight made it so that I could better understand the potential outcomes and possibilities at hand, as well as develop a deep familiarity with my chart that I didn't have beforehand. Having the knowledge the Yaz relayed about certain aspects of my chart makes me feel more in control of my experience in this lifetime and grounds me in an essential truth about myself.

    I would recommend this kind of reading, or really, any time spent with Yaz and your Vedic astrology chart, to anybody who wants to gain a better understanding of themselves, their purpose in this lifetime, or their journey toward a singular and unique destiny. This is also the perfect ritual for someone who wants to deepen their relationship with themselves and the higher powers at play simultaneously. Because of Yaz's in-depth explanations in easy-to-understand terms, this reading is just as useful for other astrology experts as it is for beginners, or those who are only now dipping their toes into the waters of astrology.

  • Before the reading i was having a lot of questions about the direction i should approach some personal challenges i was facing. Afterwards I felt a sense of clarity and self affirmation that was super helpful.

    Yaz helped me see myself from a new perspective. During our reading i was not someone going through life- instead I became an observer of myself. This "trans-personalization" helped me see myself with a sense of empathy and pride that i often struggle with! I saw my constant self-criticism as unhelpful and silly. I felt very seen :) Yaz has a heightened sense of intuition that they bring to their readings and i would 100% recommend them.

    I think a Vedic astrology reading is most helpful when you have big questions about yourself and your journey through life! I think the larger your questions are, the more helpful it will be. Not to say it's unhelpful if you have smaller questions, but i guess what i'm trying to say is that the energy you put out there as someone being read becomes reciprocal.

    Yaz's reading helped me see Vedic astrology as a powerful tool for self insight. It also made me appreciate how important it is to have someone trustworthy that can guide you on that journey. The amount of research, effort, and love that they put into their practice is clearly apparent! I feel very thankful.

  • This reading was incredible, it gave me so much to think about and process in terms of how I have felt myself grow in my life and how that is reflected in my chart. I left the reading so excited about how much was able to be uncovered that I have always felt subconsciously but it was amazing to see it explained so simply.

    This process gave me so much insight, not only into myself, but into my relationships and into the phases of my life as a whole. I was able to see a much higher view of my life, and how each era I have experienced was guided by a certain energy that was reflected in that time. It gave me tools to understand and be at peace with the challenging moments I am in now, and the ones that are to come, because I was able to see how those moments in my past brought about major change and growth. It also gave me so much confidence in my future, because I was able to see the areas in which I will continue to grow and flourish.

    I would highly recommend a Vedic astrology reading, because I feel like the insights are so deep and span your entire life. I also feel like this reading gave me an understand of how I relate to those around me and how my growth and change allows for growth in those relationships.

    This reading made me understand that astrology can be wholistic and not just centered on oneself. It takes into account family and how deeply they impact who you are. I also think looking at the astrological timeline was fascinating and helped me understand the waves of change that happen throughout life. It made me feel more at peace knowing that those different phases would bring different types of blessings and challenges and changes.

  • “If you’ve stumbled across Venus etc. and are curious, I cannot recommend Yaz’s readings enough. They have helped me work through moments of confusion, loss and have seriously helped in the realization of my career. Witnessing her carefully methodical yet intuitive approach to astrology leaves no room for doubt. Her dedication, passion and talent is guaranteed to offer you something special.

    Yaz’s readings have consistently helped me work through periods of confusion and overwhelm in life, especially when it came to identifying a singular thread that ties together my various creative passions.

    While always remaining understandable, her explanations are extremely detailed. Her cohesiveness also extends into mapping life’s timelines. She notes periods where certain areas of life are affected by planetary transits — times when career, family or relationships can be under stress, in transition or are more likely to flourish. The readings have been consistently uncanny, clearly coinciding with major life changes and even my geographic relocations from the past ten years.”

  • My experience was great. I received valuable insights on the topics I requested to learn about as well as a lot of unexpected but meaningful information. I felt that this was a much more nuanced perspective on the planetary impact on my life than I have gotten in other astrological readings. Through her interpretation and strong command of the system, Yaz shed light on how very unique my own individual life and path is. When the opportunity for comparison is all around us, this reading was a necessary reminder that we are not all meant to have the same or similar story in life!

    The information shared about how I could better align my career to my particular gifts gave me a lot to think about. I didn't just hear what events might occur in the realm of career, but how I could leverage my natural gifts/proficiencies into the area of my career to move toward more alignment. I was not expecting to hear so much about my specific spiritual gifts and proclivities. This is an area I am deeply interested in but have felt daunted by exploring. My reading and Yaz's insights reassured me that my spiritual gifts are inherent in me and it is valuable and safe to explore them.

    Anyone who would like to learn about their unique strengths, weaknesses, and how to leverage them to move through life. This could also be hugely reassuring to people who are trying to understand why things have panned out the way they have, and to understand how to work with the energy of the future with more ease.

    I enjoyed learning about both the elemental and metaphysical aspects of Vedic Astrology. I was intrigued by how physical aspects on Earth (like your location, gemstones/crystals that you carry, etc.) correlate to the planetary aspects of my chart. I also enjoyed learning about how my unique spiritual gifts could be expanded upon, like through meditation, clairvoyant dreaming, or asking questions to receive answers from my guides.

  • Definitely helped me get my mind in order and helped me find and trust a path to keep moving forward on.

    Allowing me to let go of what isn’t serving me and trust that what I’m doing and how I’m working on myself will lead me to a future that is better aligned with what’s written in my chart. And it helped me understand why certain things happened that I couldn’t see any reasoning in before.

    Vedic offers you guidance and a path that is aligned with who YOU are and serves as a guide for who you will become if you allow yourself. There’s no predicting the future but there’s explanations and indications of likely events that are nice to be prepared for.

    I think western is fun but Vedic is serious. It’s a tool that can be comparable to having a life coach that’s designed perfectly for you

  • Before the reading I was ultra curious to learn more about the differences between Vedic astrology and Western. While you did supply some info, maybe a good place to begin these sessions would be more of an elevator-pitch 60 sec explanation in layman's terms of a basics of Vedic vs. Western, especially for a former skeptic turned casual observer like me. (Obvi we see each other on the reg and you had already given me tons of info in passing, but the deeper fundamentals of astrology are still a bit of an unknown to me). I was very relaxed and very enthusiastic during the reading. Afterwards I felt positive overall!

    The most insightful was the affirmations of things already felt on some level. For example, your observation about exercise and it's correlation to higher degrees of vibration for me was mind-blowing because it's something I've felt my entire life. It was a good reminder of its importance in my life and that I need to continue to make time for it, regardless of whatever else is going on.

    I'd recommend it to anyone who feels like they need a moment to stop and take some inventory on their soul and life-journey. You ask really great questions after reading your observation, and that I think is the real value you can bring. For example, you might've said something like, ". . . this means you tend to feel like you have a motherly responsibility in a lot of your relationships. Do you find this to be true?" or, "(makes point about __ house). . . do you think you have a hard time being vulnerable?" Someone on a podcast I listened to recently said "therapy isn't beneficial or helpful because it gives you the right answers. We already have the answers inside of all of us. Therapy works because it gives us the right questions." I feel like your readings can tap into that idea and therefore, it isn't just for astrology folks, but anyone who would like to do some shadow work and tap in with themselves.

    I saw how your reading was a super cool opportunity for anyone interested in their own star sign to receive a revitalized self-perception with their common western sign horoscopes & tropes. Your reading went so much further into the soul and practical real-life situations and not just blanket statements about compatibility in relationships, for example.

  • As a subscription-based client of Yaz's, I find Vedic insight to be consistently helpful in understanding my mission and myself. Yaz keeps me regularly informed on planets transiting specific areas of my chart and provides insight on how to navigate certain talents/ troubles/ relationships/ passions that may be more prominent during said transits. I feel a great amount of trust in her interpretations and appreciate the honesty, compassion, and confidence she brings to every discussion and check in we share.

    The readings provide me with stability and healing on a regular basis. I find an immense amount of peace in knowing the universe changes, grows, and cycles with me. The readings leave me feeling as though I am not only part of something greater, but I am actively held and guided by something greater.

    I would recommend a Vedic astrology reading to everyone! And definitely to people who are into space and planets and stars on a more secular level. Learning about the spiritual nature of planets and how they interact with each other is expansive and cool :)

    I am continuously in awe at how astrology reflects the interconnectedness of our universe. We really are all existing in union, on a great and small scale.

  • My Vedic astrology reading shifted my entire perspective on astrology. After the reading, I realized astrology—especially Vedic—is a powerful tool for understanding life’s timing and purpose. It showed me how interconnected everything is, from my career and relationships to the deeper patterns that unfold over time. The precision and spiritual depth of the reading revealed a sense of order and meaning behind life’s challenges. It made me appreciate astrology as a serious, insightful guide, not just a casual or superficial interest.

    I would recommend this to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of their life’s purpose, challenges, and opportunities. The level of detail and accuracy in the reading was remarkable, offering both practical guidance and spiritual insight. It helped me uncover patterns I wasn’t fully aware of and provided clarity on decisions I’ve been grappling with. This is a transformative experience for anyone open to exploring their path.

    The most helpful part of my Vedic astrology reading was how it illuminated the truth behind my relationship, something I had been feeling but couldn’t quite articulate. I had lingering doubts, and the reading didn’t shy away from showing the hard reality—that I was likely to be deeply deceived by my partner. Unfortunately, the reading was right. That insight helped me stop second-guessing my intuition and gave me the clarity I needed to protect myself and make empowered decisions. It wasn’t always easy to hear, but it was exactly what I needed to finally move forward with my life.

    Before I did my reading with Yaz I was in a very lost and distraught state. This reading brought me so much clarity and it was truly a revitalizing expierence. I got so emotional during my reading that I started crying as I was overwhelmed with how in sync and accurate everything was.

  • Vedic Astrology was new to me and I learned a lot from Yaz. It was interesting to understand how the alignment of the planets and other celestial bodies can influence one’s personality and major life milestones. I would recommend Vedic Astrology to anyone who is willing to consider that our lives may be impacted by more than just our genetics and immediate environment. I learned that Vedic Astrology is much more complex and person specific thanWestern Astrology. Yaz researched my chart thoroughly and provided insightful and interesting information in a very thoughtful and clear manner.

  • I had so much fun and loved it! I really resonated with most everything Yaz and I discussed based off my chart and it felt quite spot on.

    It was helpful to understand more in depth and based off Vedic and planetary patterns, certain qualities about myself I already knew I possess and deal with, and that there may be a reason why I deal with certain personal and mental troubles, that ultimately will help shape me into the strongest version of myself. I felt this was a healthier outlook for me, rather than continuing to fight against these battles - moreso learning to live with them and lean into the hardship to become stronger.

    I have a couple friends I would recommend a Vedic reading to that are in their 30s-40s who are switching up careers and life paths, and/or looking for love as well - this would be a super helpful guide for someone in that situation!

    Often we view astrology as a fun sort of game to ‘see if you match with your sun sign qualities’ or if you would ‘get along with someone else based off their sign’ but it’s so much more scientific and specific than that. After my reading with Yaz I learned that it ls a great tool to help make sense why humans are who they are, or follow certain career paths and passions because of how stars and planets were aligned at their birth.

  • I had such a lovely experience with Yaz during my reading! I was so impressed by the level of research and precision that she had put into understanding my chart. I was a little nervous before the reading, as this was my first time ever having my chart read professionally, but Yaz created a very comfortable and engaging space — she allowed me to naturally interject when I had a thought or a question, but still kept the reading clear and on-track. Overall, it was such a fruitful session and I’m still thinking about it two weeks later!

    The reading allowed me to understand familair aspects of my life on a much deeper level. It was incredibly helpful to be reassured about my choices, my life goals, and my relationships. It was also so helpful to find out what dosha I was, to learn about my planetary placements, and to find out the aspects of my life that are flowing, and the aspects that might need more support. There is still so much I’d like to learn about my chart - I know this was just the first of many consultations I’ll have with Venus Etc!

    I would recommend this to anyone looking for deeper insight into their lives and their life patterns. I happened to receive this reading during a huge transitional and possibly chaotic moment, which felt symbolic and aligned, but I honestly think it’s just as helpful to get a reading when you feel focused and grounded in your life. So in short, I would recommend this to anyone.

    I already had some basic knowledge of Vedic Astrology, but the depth at which Yaz explained things was way beyond my knowledge! This reading has made me more inclined to dive deeper into the vast pool of astrology, and to tap into my higher consciousness.

  • Before the reading, I was feeling very confused with what direction I wanted to go in life. I felt like I was on the verge of a major shift but had no idea what course to pursue. After I met with Yaz I felt an eerie and profound sense of clarity, it was like she opened my heart and spilled out all of its contents.

    The most insightful part of the reading were the very precise dates she gave that coincided with major shifts in my life. They added an intense level of validity to the whole experience.

    I would completely recommend a reading! I’m very new to Vedic astrology and I really appreciate how well it maps the entirely of your life, year by year, transit by transit, to give you a very insightful overview of your past and future.

    I’ve always been interested in western astrology, but have never explored the Vedic realm. After this reading I’m most definitely going to be tapping into my Vedic chart and learning more about the tradition as a whole.
