Shivanshu Pande: Author, Astrologer, Researcher, and Builder of Inclusive Jyotish Tools
Shivanshu Pande is building a public body of work at the intersection of classical Vedic astrology, philosophy, research, software, and practical self-learning. Through his writing, consultations, tools, and educational content, he presents astrology not only as a service, but as a disciplined field that people can study, understand, and apply for themselves.
A major part of Shivanshu’s work is education. His books are designed as a structured learning path rather than a collection of isolated titles. The centerpiece is The Complete Jyotish: A Course on Vedic Astrology, an omnibus edition that brings together the foundations, interpretation, the mathematics of karma, and the remedial way of life into a single volume, making classical Jyotish accessible at an affordable price.
His current book series includes Foundations of Vedic Astrology: The Seven Modules, and the Art of Horoscope Interpretation, which introduces readers to the grammar of horoscope reading before moving into interpretation; The Mathematics of Karma: Probability, Patterns and the Science of Jyotish, which frames astrology as a probabilistic model and explores where remedies can shift outcomes; Parihara: The Vedic Remedies, the Remedial Way of Life, which explains the philosophy of Vedic remedies as a practical part of life; and What the Days Revealed: Reflections on Life, and the Sacred in the Everyday, a reflective work that extends beyond astrology into meaning, observation, and lived experience.
Together, these books reflect a clear philosophy: astrology should be studied systematically rather than memorized mechanically. Shivanshu’s work attempts to combine classical principles, logical interpretation, probability-based thinking, and practical application into a structured curriculum for both beginners and more advanced students.
That “learn first” philosophy is central to his brand. Instead of making astrology entirely dependent on paid consultations, Shivanshu also creates educational material so people can study the basics independently. For readers who do not want to spend money first, he also provides free learning resources through his YouTube channel, where he shares the fundamentals of astrology and encourages self-study.
Beyond writing, Shivanshu has developed Jyotirvani, his proprietary astrology software platform. The commercial edition generates detailed horoscope reports and includes both traditional compatibility analysis and an inclusive compatibility framework designed for LGBTQIA+ couples. The software combines classical astrological principles with modern report generation and is protected under copyright along with its reports and associated intellectual property.
His public work also includes research-oriented exploration. Shivanshu has described independent studies involving probabilistic thinking and Monte Carlo research, reflecting an approach that is analytical as well as traditional. Rather than replacing classical Jyotish, this research direction appears aimed at understanding traditional ideas through structured reasoning, statistical thinking, and modern computation.
Another distinctive part of Shivanshu’s work is inclusivity. His compatibility offerings explicitly support diverse relationship types, including special and non-traditional couples. In a field where many services remain conventional and restrictive, this inclusive approach makes his work stand out.
Alongside astrology, Shivanshu also writes on philosophy and life topics his latest book is named “What the Days Revealed” is on this topic. His reflections show a broader interest in daily experience, human behavior, meaning, and the sacred within ordinary life. This gives his body of work a wider character than astrology alone, making it part education, part philosophy, and part applied guidance.
Shivanshu also brings an engineering and data-driven background to his work. He holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science from BMS College of Engineering, Bengaluru, and is currently pursuing an MS in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence from BITS Pilani, Institute of Eminence. His academic background in computer science and artificial intelligence complements his work in astrology, software development, and analytical research. His astrology practice started in 2020 at the age of 19.
His public-facing brand also extends to travel and lived experience. Over the past few years, he has traveled widely across India, and that movement across places and people adds a grounded, practical dimension to the way he writes and consults.
At 24, earning a copyright registration is still uncommon in India. The Government of India’s Copyright Office reported 44,095 copyright applications in FY 2024–25, and India’s population is about 1.4639 billion, which works out to roughly 0.003% of the population in that year as a rough proxy less than 1 in 35000 people in India.
Shivanshu’s services are designed to be accessible. His website includes options starting from budget-friendly reports and moving up to live consultations and long-term membership plans. The overall structure suggests a model built around learning, accessibility, and continuity rather than one-time transactions.
For readers looking for astrology that combines classical reasoning, structured books, software support, inclusivity, and a clear educational path, Shivanshu Pande is building a distinctive and modern practice.
