Practitioner of Astrology is called as Astrologer or Astrologist or Jyotishi. An astrologer practices one or more forms of astrology. Typically a Vedic Astrologer or an Indian Astrologer draws a horoscope for the time of an event, such as a person's birth, and interprets celestial points and their placements at the time of the event to better understand someone, determine the auspiciousness of an undertaking's beginning, etc. However, the methods employed by astrologers are variable and depend on the particular astrological tradition they employ and the information desired. In the far past, the role often entailed astronomical observation or manual calculation of celestial phenomena. In more modern times, however, these methods have largely been replaced by pre-calculated ephemeris and astrological software.

The Predictive Indian Vedic Astrology is based upon some logics given by the sage Parashara. It is not a Science but there lies some strength or truth in it due to which it is still present in this world. The success of an Indian Vedic Astrologer depends upon how much correct he can tell about an unknown person or his life or how many of his clients get satisfied by his predictions. No Astrologer is 100% correct. Renowned Astrologer Bejan Daruwalla (or Bejan Daruvalla or Bejan Daruvala or Bejan Daruwala) has also admitted it many times. Many times the prediction of a Jyotishi on some client goes wrong because the client do not provide correct birth details. Many clients give estimated birth details & moreover with a lot of confidence. Some clients do not want to bother to enquire their correct birth details from their elders as they do not realize the importance of correct birth details in Jyotisha.

An Indian Vedic Astrologer (even Doctor or Doctorate of Astrology) can himself suffer in life due to his own bad luck or a bad phase of time.

The job of an Indian Vedic Astrologer is not to bluff his clients by claiming that he can change their destiny by prescribing some so called remedies (like stones, mantras, tantras, yantras, yagna, havan, poojas, homams or daans) but only to tell something about their destiny & to alert them of some coming good or bad phase of time in their lives so that his clients can prepare themselves in advance (if situation seems to be avoidable or if its bad effect can be minimized) according to the practical ways as suggested by the Indian Vedic Astrologer. Though altering one's destiny is not that easy & it can not be done with out the bounty of God.
