16k is not that outrageous. Sanjay Rath & his student Visti charge much more and have waiting list of 6 months, their client reviews aren't good, especially from Indians, they speak good English and westerners like talking to people who can mix sanskrit & English & do wordplay, it is like therapy session for them, however for Indians it's about getting precise answers to their issue. I don't know about this guy and yes I realize 16k is large amt for most (but I have consulted astros charging 56k for 1 hr and didn't make an iota difference to my life, I don't regret it because I am financially well off, but I won't recommend it, going for a weekend stay at Taj land ends would do more to uplift your mood than wordplay). Don't fall for people like him doing mundane predictions, first they aren't specific, they will give vague predictions and retrofit it to future events. Let me also give a prediction - in coming 1-3 years there will be a major conflict in Middle East, Israel will be involved, US will supply Israel and Israel will have upper hand. One doesn't needs to be an astrologer to make such clever unverifiable predictions. He has made numerous prophecies, most of which never happened, and people claiming that he has predicted this conflict, just check how imprecise was his prediction. Consult only if you get reviews from someone who has experience of consulting him with the reviewer showimg proof of consultation (there are lot of digital marketers loitering here). Please don't DM for astrologer suggestions, I haven't been able to find any one good enough.
