Transcript

My guest today is Dolly Manghat.

She has a unique life coaching method in which she uses a combination of astrology, numerology, and birth chart analysis, that's the location you were born, to help clients build a life of health, wealth, and happiness.

She has helped thousands develop their potentials and their talents.

These include global business leaders, superstar, art performers, professionals, and individuals.

She's won prestigious awards and citations from global institutions, including the Astrologer of the Millennium Award, the Mother Teresa Award, and the Dr.

MGR.

National Award, name a few.

On her YouTube channel, she provides guidance to help people how to navigate life successfully.

Dolly's philosophy, in her own words, is, by being present in each moment and exercising our truth, we can change our life.

When you're aware of your truth, you can reach the right frequency and generate the energy you need to manifest your dreams.

She says, fear comes from lack of self-knowledge, and that the most important factor in shaping life on our planet is the individual.

You can jump right in, if you like, in terms of what you do, how you got started in it, and then maybe explain, like, how you work and so forth.

Yes.

I'm sure that you know that I've been an astrologer consultant, but with a difference.

I work with the wisdom of the planets.

Rather than believing in predictions, I believe that this profound social science can actually help us create our own prophecies in life.

Yeah.

And having done a thorough research in this subject, Daniel, you know, it is something like, I take the guidance of the planets, and then I utilize it to my advantage.

Because when you come to know, see, if you actually look into it, the planets have always been in discipline.

They've never gone out of discipline.

And they're always gently reminding us, now it's the summer, now it's the winter, now it's the spring, now it's the fall.

And if you actually look into the cosmic guidance, you will realize that we need to have the same kind of discipline in our life.

Whenever we don't have that discipline, we tend to lose out or we tend to become weak, we falter.

And then we make our mistakes, though we can take it as the process of life.

A lot of people are depressed, they're stressed out, they have heart attacks, they get cancer.

Especially after the COVID, it's as if they're at a loose end, and they have stopped believing in themselves.

Whereas, this subject is so powerful, that it helps us recognize the strengths, and also empowers us to overcome our weaknesses.

So it sounds, it all sounds really good and wonderful.

And I believe there's some perfection.

Yeah, there's definitely perfection in the way the planets orbit and are perfect and they make sense.

How do you, how do you extract that, tap into it, make sense of it all in the work you do?

Well, it is something like that when you go to an astrologer, the astrologer should have the capability of helping you understand and value your true self.

Whenever an individual speaks his own truth or listens to his heart, without analyzing it with the mind, you will always be on the correct path.

Even if you falter, you will actually be happy because you're responsible of taking the decision and following your heart.

So forget about the saying, think before you speak, speak and then think about what you said.

No, forget about it completely.

Speak your truth.

You know, Daniel, just recently at my age, I'm 67 now, and in our part of the world, it is very unheard of, though now it's coming up slowly and steadily.

And a lone woman will not go on a long trip.

Yeah, I know plenty of friends who are single women and they.

A woman always has to be accompanied by either a group of friends or she has to be accompanied by a male so that she's protected.

And this kind of behavior always makes a woman feel that she is so dependent.

Whereas if you ask a woman and ask her to speak her truth, she'll always say that I want my space.

I want to do.

If men can do it, why can't we?

I totally agree.

So what I did was I informed and for me, my biggest motivations are my two daughters who are of today's generation.

I'm of a previous generation.

So at my age of 67, I picked up my car and I did a long trip of 1700 kilometers and drove by myself solo.

Where did you go?

I just drove by myself across the country of India from north to the west.

That is from the north to Mumbai.

Road trip we call it here.

A road trip and that to solo all by myself in this monsoon season.

It was something like that I was speaking my truth.

I was actually letting people know that it is so beautiful when you do things what are very close to your heart.

Now, were you worried about getting in trouble or offending?

No, no, I was very, see, when you plan, when you don't have a plan, that is the time you fear.

But when you have a plan and you have your backup plans, and also my planets had told me to my strengths and weaknesses.

So, I had managed myself, I had made a plan that as a woman who is 67, I should ensure that I'm not driving in the darkness.

Okay.

So, when I know that this is my discipline and I know that I am resilient, you know, when you travel solo, I'm sure you must have done it a couple of times, an individual actually comes face to face with his strengths and weaknesses.

And of course, there are problems along the way, but since your self-belief is there, you tend to overcome the obstacles and problems and apprehend them.

Now, knowing that and having done that, I realized that I'm a resilient person.

I also have patience because on the road, there can be traffic jams and especially in an overpopulated country like ours.

And I also enjoyed the beauty, which I could never enjoy if I'm always flying from point A to point B.

Enjoy the journey.

I enjoyed the journey thoroughly.

I came face to face with my own self.

My introspection was completely, you know, it was like as if I was deeply connected spiritually with the higher universe.

Now, astrology is also about that.

The Cosmic Guidance, which is rooted in the discipline, continually illuminates every individual and makes us aware of our strengths and empowers us to overcome our weaknesses.

So basically, if you see, we are all interconnected.

It's quantum physics.

If you take it from that point of view, everything is interconnected with each other.

In physics, we talk about the molecules and we talk about the interconnectedness and how the interconnectedness ignites energies.

You attract energies from the other people, give away your energies.

Similarly, these celestial bodies that are roaming around in the universe, they tend to influence the human affairs.

And they offer a very unique lens through which we can understand ourselves and our place in the universe.

So, how does it, give me an example, though.

Let's say you have a strength and you have a weakness.

Yeah.

And you know your weakness maybe is...

My weakness was always being conditioned.

Now, here I want to just take a moment with you, Daniel.

There are four stages in an individual's life.

Always.

The first stage is of learning.

See, when you're young and those stages are, let's say, from your conditioning, when you're born, to how you're conditioned till you're 12 years of age, and 24 years of age, and 36 and so on.

Every 12 years, you'll see your belief system changing.

Okay.

And Jupiter is a planet of beliefs.

So, that is by the condition, that's how you, you know, we call it the evolution of a human mind.

You explore, you learn, you get attracted to the energies.

For example, when I was 12 years old as a girl child, I was very protected.

So protected that I was actually dictated by the terms of what other people told me to do, what is right, what is wrong.

You know, our parents, or our siblings, or our cousins, et cetera.

After the age of 12, you step out into the outer world when you start learning and you are educating yourself.

You're going to the school.

So you learn about the belief system of the outer world.

And actually you are confused that the belief system is not on what you were taught.

There are other things also to be understood and believed.

The first thing that comes to mind is religion, because some people are religiously, they're kind of locked down when they're kids.

Or, you know, they go to, they just go to church and they're in their own little bubble as a kid in terms of religion.

And then I think it seems to be the religion that's a barrier to get over beliefs.

Right.

So see, as a child, when you grow up in a religion and then when you start going to school, meeting people outside your childhood conditioning, you realize that it's not only your religion that you have to follow.

There are many other religions in the world which are manmade.

A lot of them.

So astrology, yeah, astrology teaches us that the planet's benevolence is for everybody, to utilize, to harness.

I think we all should be entitled to our own beliefs.

Yes.

Right.

We are all entitled to our own beliefs, but that comes after the age of 24, when we start having a friction of not being rigid.

We don't want to be rigidly following what we've been taught, but we want to, and happiness comes when you're speaking your truth and utilizing and following your heart.

Rather than always thinking, I should do what my parents have told me to do, I should do what I've been taught to do.

Absolutely.

I want to add one thing real quick to the belief that you have right to your own belief.

That's as long as it doesn't lead you to harm somebody else or convince them.

I would say your belief is safeguarding you automatically.

That's why I said four phases in a person's life.

If you can understand and embrace these stages, the first stage is of learning, which is from the birth to 32 or 35 years.

It's a learning phase, which is actually dedicated to acquiring your knowledge, skills, your experiences.

We are in a constant state of education and exploration.

Constant state.

Formal education lays the foundation for our intellectual development.

While the skill development extends beyond academics, to include your social, emotional, and practical skills, right?

Yeah.

So what's the next phase?

So the next phase is your earning phase.

When you put those learnings into practice from 35 to 48, you've got to earn your money to survive in the world.

Because only if you are earning your money, will you be able to liberate yourself from so-called conditionings of life by others.

Otherwise, we're dancing to the tune of the other people's thoughts.

Now it seems like whereas the conflict is going to begin because we just said, you should do your belief, do your talk, express who you are, and yet you also do have to make money like you just said.

Yeah.

But that doesn't mean you can make money in what you believe in, what you're passionate about.

I like that.

It's very strange, but we are taught, oh, you need to be a doctor, engineer, or because instead of creating memories for ourselves, we start working towards accumulation of materialism.

Without being happy in what we are choosing, we're only seeing how much money we can earn from a particular profession.

But we don't do just this.

Well, we get locked down on just the money and not the...

Yeah, but that's where the frustration and unhappiness comes in, right?

Right.

So in case if we want to feel complete, we want to be happy, we don't want to be frustrated, we want to be stress-free, it's very important to build that resilience and responsibility within yourself.

So astrology can actually tell you how much resilient you can be, and how much responsible are you really, because the body is made out of four energies, water, air, earth and fire.

So whatever is deficient in your body is what you start working on, so that you can become stronger and start planning your life.

So many clients come and tell me, but we are unable to do it because my parents will get angry, or I'm unable to do it because my wife doesn't like it.

Those are easy ones to me.

So what?

Yeah.

But then at the same time, in a culture like ours, we are so tuned in my relationships are not working, so I'm sad.

My profession, I'm not happy about, so I'm sad.

That sadness creeps in, which actually is the root cause of many are evil, your health problems.

But if you understand that, okay, I have learned my lessons of the world and what I've been asked to do, but yet I want to believe what I believe in.

So I learned till the age of 32, and after that, I start practicing in life what I want to do.

Which was your astrology?

Was that when you got into your career yourself?

I got into my career at the age of 26.

I was married at the age of 20, because I was told by my parents that girls, okay, you are educated enough, rest of the education you can complete after marriage.

Here is a good boy.

He's a nice man, according to them.

So in your culture, it sounds like the barrier or what's stopping people is social pressures, your parents, somebody's parents.

Social pressures, that's the norm.

It was like protection of the girls that now they've grown up and they shouldn't become a target of a man's greed or whatever.

So we were told that, okay, now is the time, it's a correct time for marriage because a girl is basically to take forward the legacy of a man produce children.

Yeah, and the man can make the money, so why should the woman have to work?

Somebody has to take care of the house and the child.

And for me, I was a rebel.

I'm 57-born.

I said, no, this is very unfair that we are put into a box, into a mold.

And yeah, I just wanted to break free.

And then I had two girls.

I didn't want them to get married early.

I wanted them to choose their life and articulate the life the way they want.

Nice.

And they're doing very well and they're very happy.

And the problems that they have in their life, because we all have our own kind of process to bear or problems to solve.

But then that's life.

So, do you, do your clients use astrology to help them figure out what they want to do?

I actually help them figure out what they are talented in.

What is the calling on this earth?

How they can harness their strengths and how resilience, how they can develop their strengths and accept their weakness.

Accepting your weakness is also a part of the game, Daniel.

That makes it easy.

You can just say, you know, that's not my strength, so you do it or you help me ask for help.

I don't say it's not in my stars.

I tell them the planets are always implying, they never compel.

They never compel an individual to go jump into the well.

It's your weakness that makes you jump in the well.

Yeah, the plan is like Jupiter is squaring Saturn now, and Jupiter always is a pointer towards your belief system, whether they need to be renewed, whether they need to be changed, or whether they need to be strengthened.

If your values are working for you, if your belief system is working for you, then you strengthen and harness it further.

If it is not, then you have to renew your belief system, so that Saturn, which is your structure, your structure of life becomes stronger.

Your belief system weak, your structure weak, your belief system strong, your structure strong.

So give me an example.

Let's say the astro location, and what do you call it when you use the location on the earth and astrology?

The location in your birthplace.

Oh, right.

So location and time of your birthday.

For example, here's what I was told, and I've tried to do it.

That could tell you where you should live, where you should move to because there's a lot of people.

That is, you know, that is, frankly speaking, that again comes to predictions.

No, it's not true.

I mean, it's taken out of a myth.

That's exactly I'm taking out.

I, why did I speak about quantum physics?

That it is so important to understand that nobody can control or dictate your life.

You, somebody, some astrologer says, go to Alabama and stay and you'll be very happy.

It's ridiculous.

I don't like Alabama, I'll say.

That's it.

Especially if you don't like mosquitoes or green or.

No, no, no, no.

Just like a metaphor I'm telling you, I do not want to stay in a place which my heart is not feeling comfortable in.

Well, why not just go with your heart then instead of using the astrology?

Following your, no, you can't, because astrology.

See, there are questions that we have, Daniel, in life.

We need to understand that which is the profession.

Sometimes people are so stressed out with the environment that they cannot understand that how talented they are.

They don't recognize their own creativity.

Yes.

A lot of people don't see how talented they are.

They've always been too critical on themselves.

I mean, look at yourself.

You are a person.

I mean, I don't know your date of birth when I see your energies that are coming to me towards you with your voice or with your...

You're a person who would never like to be told what to do.

This is true.

I don't like authority.

It's what my mother used to tell me.

It's like, you know what your problem is, Daniel?

You don't like authority.

I don't know how that's a problem, but it's true.

Yes.

Then you are also a person who doesn't like to control people, but you would like to advise them and you would like to help them.

That's how you got into podcasts at a later date where you realize that my voice or through my channel, I can reach out to people and help them.

Whether they want to be helped or not is their decision.

Yes.

I never try to force something on people because it doesn't feel right.

It doesn't feel right.

The same thing is what I've told.

I said astrology is as if we are giving our life into somebody's hands, and over a period, see this subject has been there from centuries.

I mean, it is from our forefathers and beyond that.

People have believed because whatever we see is what we believe.

So with the naked eye, we can see our seven planets till Saturn, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn.

Seven planets we can see with our naked eye, and we also feel very good.

Whenever we have a dilemma or we have a question, we always look up.

It's very involuntarily we tend to look up, or we will concentrate at a particular planet, or we will feel the energies of a particular planet.

You must have experienced that there are some days where you feel you can conquer the world, but there are some days where you feel, oh my God, life is a struggle.

Definitely, yeah.

And you have no reason to feel that because it has been the same morning, it has been the same weather conditions are the same.

Then why is it that you feel sad?

Why is it?

Those are energies that are coming from.

So, when you go to an astrologer, he actually can explain it to you very nicely, that look here, the moon is in transit, it's in its phases, and 10 days in a month, probably you may feel a little down, but you'll overcome it once there's a new moon.

Now, like on 4th August, the new moon is there, it's in Cancer, which speaks about how you are concentrating on, and invariably this will happen.

You want to neaten up your space, you want to be in your space, you want to be with your loved ones.

Everything all about home, nurturing.

The word is nurturing.

You want to love, you want to be loved, then you want to create a safe haven for your own self.

You plan for your own personal life.

An analogy just came to me with this astrology, the way you explained it, some days you just don't feel as good, and it's not you, it's the planet.

That sounds to me like what you're doing with the astrology, the forecast and the interpretation is like what a weatherman does.

Yes, it's absolute, it's the nail on head.

It's like the weather forecast.

You yourself will experience it, which I'm telling you about the Jupiter and Saturn aspect that is coming.

It's a very heavy aspect.

It's an aspect which will force you to think, is your structure of life strong?

Is the structure, say again?

Is the structure of your life strong?

Like, it is something like, you will analyze your life, you will analyze your profession, you will also probably analyze your own truth.

Oh, this is the time we're coming into right now with this, where the planets are.

This is the time that means all, and it is there for everybody.

I see.

It's not only for, it is something like, it's a direct indicator that unless we strengthen our belief system, our structures will be shaky.

Sometimes we won't be happy because our core is going to say, I am unnecessarily working so hard, but yet I cannot build a solid foundation.

Or why is it?

Then you come to an astrologer to say that, why is it that I cannot build?

I worked so hard in all these years.

And if you're the weatherman, you'd say because it's raining, do you have an umbrella?

You should get an umbrella.

It's going to rain for a couple of days.

What will the astrologer ask?

Do you believe in what you're doing?

If you're not believing in what you're doing, how do you expect your structure to be strong?

How do they know what they should be doing?

Just back to the hard side?

See, it is something like I know what the planet can bestow.

Jupiter planet is known as a benefactor.

It is known as a planet that just expands the person's thoughts.

Expands their what?

The person's, the individual's thoughts, the thought process.

Thoughts, okay.

Yeah, so when Jupiter is a planet of expansion and it is a benefactor, but how does it, it's like a parent who keeps giving the child everything that he demands or desires.

I like that planet.

Yeah, but there's a catch there.

If an individual, if the child is going on asking for too many sweets and the planet is going on giving the sweets, you are bound to put on weight and it's bound to be detrimental.

Good point.

So you, so it, now that's where the Saturn is also coming into play, that let Jupiter give everything, but if it is not going to benefit the individual.

Now, when the man says, how do I know?

I said, well, if you are going to keep fearing and not taking steps forward, then your fear is going to expand and it will spell doom for you.

But if you know that you can do it, if you believe in yourself, yeah, I do believe in myself, but my parents won't allow me to do that.

My partner won't allow me to do that.

You know, all those kind of reasons for not doing a thing.

Basically, he's lazy.

So then I make him aware of his weaknesses.

You are lazy, you're scared of taking a risk.

You need to change your belief system.

You need to get out of your comfort zone.

You take one step forward positively.

The entire universe is going to conspire and work with you towards your success.

It's the same thing.

Like, I was told by probably whosoever I met, whether it was my family, whether it was my, not my family, not my daughters, but my friends or whether my so-called well-wishers, nobody was happy that I was driving alone.

Firstly, they put the age fear factor.

Oh, you're 67 and you're driving.

I said age is just a number.

Okay.

Then they're telling me that, but it's never happened in a family.

A woman cannot be driving all by herself and that also from North to South.

They're just taking pot shots at you, hitting you left and right.

Oh, they are trying to beat you down.

They were trying to get into my mind.

But under the garb of being protective, they were coming from a good place.

Yes.

But they were putting their fears and anxieties on me.

They always have good intentions, the people who give you advice.

They always have good intentions, but for me, my resilience and my self-belief.

I told them, I said, I love creating histories and leaving legacies for my grandchildren.

I love creating memories.

So I do not want to accumulate negativities in my mind.

So I said, I am informing y'all because you are my family, you all know what I do.

When I had just reached halfway and I was sending pictures to them, and I was talking to them and telling them that, look here, that I am enjoying myself so much.

It is as if I am in my own bubble.

Now they all want to do it separately.

Yeah, that's the beautiful thing.

You do it, you lead by example.

Forget arguing about it.

You do it and other people see you do it and like, oh, that person is doing their dream.

I should do mine and theirs might even be bigger and better and more suppressed and wonderful.

Yeah, that's how you help.

No, at the best, they're telling me, oh, we also want to do it.

I said, well, you all have cars.

In today's technological world, you don't have to fear because you can follow each other through your apps, through your mobiles.

Right.

The cars are so brilliant these days that you have 24-7 assistance.

So why fear?

I actually had to unplug mine.

I got a new car and it turns out it has one of those devices that in case your car is stolen, it knows where it is.

I don't want that kind of tracking.

It was expensive.

I had to pay for it when I got the car, part of the price and I unplugged it.

I have the phone.

That's enough.

I would just put it that way.

You can do it for a small time when you are traveling.

You are doing your bit of protecting yourself, and then after that, you can take it off.

Now, then they're telling me, oh, we want to do it with you.

I said the whole idea of being solo is finding your own truth.

When you find your own truth, you are able to speak your own truth.

According to the weather conditions, oh, you can do it in some other season.

Why are you doing it in the monsoons?

What if you get caught in the floods?

I said, then I should know if I get caught in the floods, how do I extricate myself from the obstacles?

I said, that's my responsibility.

And if something happens to me, it means I'm foolish.

Well, you could stay home and there could have been a hurricane.

I said, I need to know what kind of planning I do, how resilient I am.

What is the legacy I can leave for my grandchildren?

Rather than leave money, I would rather leave memories for my children and grandchildren, all my clients also, who will remember me by what I did and how fearless I was.

That kind of a legacy left to my clients or to my family is what is going to make their life good.

And you can't buy that?

Yep.

You can never buy that.

And it is something like I have witnessed firsthand, Daniel, the transformative power of universal intelligence.

And my planets have helped me ever since I learned this subject from the age of 23 onwards.

Were you learning on your own and then discovered you had a talent for this?

No, I have learned through universities.

I have gone and attended classes.

I have taken my certifications.

There is a whole lot of world if you explore.

I did my psychology.

I did my masters in psychology.

So that's strengthened my mind.

And then I did my masters in astrology.

I've been working with the planets.

I have been working in tune with even the people who are in NASA, that how the planet's energies are there.

Like I said, quantum physics.

So spaceship goes up and...

The spaceship goes up.

Why are people exploring all these planets?

Because they know that there are energies, how you can harness those energies to the best of advantage.

And what is it that you need to keep at bay?

What's that?

It's inter-connected.

Where astrology got demented is when people thought that they are gods and they can control the individual's life.

That's wrong.

Oh, you mean like the kind of person that goes to an astrologist that says, I am not or I am just because, you know, astrology told me?

That kind of thing?

Yes.

Oh, there's a very funny incident that happened.

Not once, it happened quite a few times.

I had this lady come in who actually wanted to ask me that did I tell her husband that he'll have an affair?

Okay.

Very well.

I looked at her and I said, yes, your husband had come and he was involved with somebody.

I told him that it's not good for you because you are a person, and if you involve and you need to do away with one relationship rather than go parallelly because you eventually will drown.

So be aware.

I said I didn't give him a free sanction to, that was his decision to fall in love or to have an affair.

I had warned him.

And then she called her husband and also she says, because when I caught him red-handed, he said Dolly Manghat had told me that I will have an affair.

So I had an affair.

I mean, it was like I was laughing.

I said yes, because that is your character.

See, basically you come to know the attitude of a person from the placement of the planets.

I said your weakness is in such a place that you get attracted at a drop of a hat.

Your loyalty is your weakness.

You can't be loyal to one person.

And that's where you'll meet your Waterloo and unhappiness will creep in.

I said now having an affair or not having an affair is your decision, not mine.

And why did he come to you in the first place?

Oh, well, because he was troubled by this.

He would always fall in love with the first person who gave him some kind of kindness or compassion because right from his childhood, he was always seeking attention.

So he was he was looking for.

It sounds like first he was asking, is that OK?

And you're just like, well, yeah, that's how you are.

Yeah.

And he and he was he never liked this part of him because nobody was truthful to him and he was truthful to nobody.

So someway you're conscious is eating up into you because you know you have a wife and you have children and you don't want to leave them, but yet you're not happy with them.

But what was he wanting from you?

Like to say it's OK or not OK?

And of course, it's not OK.

But if you want to do it, that's your choice.

Yeah.

He wanted a kind of endorsement where I would say, oh, it's perfectly all right if you're having a fit, then he would have a good time.

Because Venus, the planet Venus, was in alignment with Jupiter.

And it said, you can have all the candy you want.

I'm Jupiter and Mars is the love planet.

So go for it.

Right, right, right, right.

You are actually understanding.

See, Venus is all about feelings.

Mercury is all about your intelligence and intentions.

And Mercury and Venus are always traveling almost at the same time.

I think he's also trying to get help, not just an excuse, but that's his responsibility.

He is trying to get help because basically everybody is a good individual.

Basically, nobody is a bad person, but your own habits or your own attitude towards life makes you slip.

We are all made out of yin and yang energies, Daniel.

You have a little bit of yin energies and more of yang energies.

I have more of yang energies, a little bit of yin energies being a female.

So we all behave and react to certain situations in our own peculiar way.

So maybe if I was him, it would have been helpful to astrology because now I would have understood, I would have had an explanation for why I'm influenced and want to have an affair.

So that would make sense.

But then it's still up to me to-

Yeah, I made him understand that since he was an attention seeker, I made the partner understand, the wife understand that you are always berating him.

He's doing so much, you're berating him.

Obviously, he will go into the first arms that are actually admiring him.

Yeah, of course.

So I said, you cannot blame him for what he's doing.

You have to look into yourself.

She says, I have terrible anger.

I said, you took him for granted.

Just because you are married to him, doesn't mean you can torture him.

You haven't taken a license to torture, because he's also troubled.

This sounds like psychology in addition to astrology.

Astrology is the psychology of the universe.

So you understand the person, why is person behaving the way he's behaving?

So constructively, you tell him, now basically, he also wanted to be a man whom his children could look up to.

He also wanted to be a man who was admired for the goodness that he does.

Nobody likes to play the cat and mouse game.

Nobody wants to not look at it.

They say there is a very beautiful poem written by Edwin or some, I'm forgetting the name, but the man in the glass, that means a man in the mirror.

If at the end of the day, you can look into your own eyes and be proud of yourself, you've lived a life well.

Yes.

So back to finding your truth.

It's inside you.

You just need to help people bring it out.

I understand how the astrology works in terms of being like the weather.

But the weatherman can't tell you what your truth is.

How do you help people find their truth?

When you find which are the energies strong in them or what are their strengths, I help them harness their strengths and overcome their own weaknesses.

Because astrology is basically a path to self-discovery and fulfillment of life.

So when you embrace the cosmic wisdom, it allows us to live in harmony with the universe.

That is how we achieve true liberation and happiness.

So give me an example of the client who is coming to you for that purpose, and then what they discovered through working with you in the planet.

There are some clients who actually come for a career consultation.

What do you call that?

A career consultation for their jobs, for their professions.

And their questions are like, yes, this job is well-paid, but I don't feel happy.

And then you can actually realize and you can counsel them and find them what gives them happiness, and then ask them to search for that kind of a job, which will truly give them happiness.

The second personal question would come immediately, but I have a family to feed, so money is important.

I wanted to do that, but my father always told me, my parents always pressurized me only to become a doctor.

I said, you know, then I make them understand.

Let's say they're of different professions.

For example, people got crazy where the IT world was concerned.

Which, which word?

The IT world, the technical world.

Oh yes, yes, software, software program.

The software and the hardware, and because there was so much of money there.

But so many people, I have seen millions of people who have left those hardcore jobs and became businessmen.

Or they started doing something which they truly enjoyed.

That is where creativity comes in.

Right.

It's so important for every individual to know what is their creative value or what is their creative interest.

That's why hobbies are important.

Yeah.

People think creative means painting or painting or drawing or something.

It means inspiration from the planets or the universe in terms of bringing something in from the heavens that's not on the earth.

It's you, the channel, that's creativity.

Just like picking up the phone, talking to God or whoever your God is.

It is something like it was most unheard of, and even probably so many years back, I wouldn't have realized that I'm a person who would take the step in India by traveling all alone at my age, and or somebody would allow me.

But I knew that from the planets, I knew that the time was correct.

It was conducive.

And I also knew that now is the time I can fulfill that checkbox, that bucket list.

It was in my bucket list to be solo.

And I also realized that there is so many other things that I want to do in life, which only I will leave a legacy behind with this.

And every individual needs to take control of their own destinies.

Every individual needs to use the guidance of the planets to inform our decisions.

It helps us into forming our decisions.

So when you understand the cosmic influences, we create our own prophecies.

And then you look at the weather, the weather forecast.

Absolutely.

Now, if you tell me it's going to rain, it's my choice whether I want to take an umbrella or I want to take a raincoat or I want to drench myself in the rain and feel those trinkets of water on me or lashing the wind lashing and the raindrops lashing.

That's my choice and my will.

Maybe the other people may say she's so stupid.

She knew it was rain.

Why didn't she take the umbrella?

That's their problem.

They don't even understand that this is what I wanted to do or this is what I want to experience.

So it empowers us.

What about the numerology?

How does that work into?

How do you use it?

Numerology is a sisterly science, you could say.

Sisterly?

Sisterly science because numerology is like astrology works with the planet's names.

Numerology has given numbers to those planets.

One is sun, two is moon, three is Jupiter, four is Uranus, five is Mercury, six is Venus, seven is Neptune, eight is Saturn, and nine is Mars.

Yeah, so rather than talking about planets which people get confused, they find dealing with numbers very easy.

It's like Pythagoras had found the entire number system.

If you see even in physics, we are all doing with numbers.

It seems more scientific, not so esoteric.

Yes, it seems okay.

This person has two ones.

Let's say, like my date of birth is 10th January 1957.

So I have three ones in my chart.

Okay.

The one of the 10th, the one January and 1957, the one there.

So these, which means my son is very powerful.

Because that's number one, the son's number one.

That's number one.

That means my son is very powerful.

Now, either I utilize my son into empowering me, or if I allow the other planets to overwhelm me.

Now, the other planets I have in my birth chart is number five, which is Mercury, and number seven, which is Neptune.

Five is one of my favorite numbers for some reason.

I think it means change.

What's your date of birth?

April 13 or 30.

Okay.

19.

19.

Oh, you're 10 years younger to me.

That's brilliant.

Five and four.

Yeah.

So number five is basically your intelligence.

You're born at a time where you are hyper.

You are hyper intelligent.

So you're born in the generation that you see a couple of months ahead or days ahead, what you're going to do or what is going to happen.

But now what happens, you are either found as height of successes or as downright failures.

Nothing in between.

Say again?

Yeah.

You are found as the heights of successes or as downright failures.

What do you mean by you're found?

Failures in the sense you will either go down and you will change immediately.

You know, there is a kind of a thing that you cannot suffer fools.

Let me put it the other way around.

You cannot suffer fools if you don't like a particular line, you will drop it like a hot brick and change.

I see.

That's Mercury.

So, what are the lessons that you need to learn in your life?

Is that success will follow if you're consistent and persistent.

Yes, I like that one.

And Jupiter is your benefactor.

It will give me all the sweets I want to eat.

It gives you all the sweets provided you know, because you are a person who will take all the sweets, and then you will be very unhappy because it has given you indigestion or sugar, and then you will just brush it away.

Is that saying, yeah, be careful what you wish for?

Be careful of what you wish for.

And be and believe in that you don't have to wish, but you have to believe that you deserve it.

And a person who's destined to be a writer one day, you will be writing your books, you will be writing your experience.

You are a person who wants to see the world, and you'll do it.

Nobody can control you.

If your partners want you forever, they need to give you your space.

And you are a terrifically loyal person.

If the partner gives you space, if the partner doesn't give you space, then you have nothing to do with the partner.

This is true.

So see, it is very, it's all your energies.

When you were born, these are the energies that were there in you.

So I've only done it neurologically at the moment.

I've just written down your date of birth, and I realized that these are the main planets in your chart.

And you feel, you know, where does the problem come with you?

Is you feel from your heart very passionate.

And that's a problem.

And no, it's a problem when you start analyzing it with the mind.

Yes, definitely.

Then you become frustrated, indecisive, unhappy, and then you say, what do I need to do?

You get my point?

I think that's the case with a lot of people.

They have, I mean, to me, when I see other people, to me, it looks like, wow, you really, you're in touch with your not your feelings like feely feely, but with your intuition, what you want to do, who you are.

And yet, why aren't you doing it?

It's the logical mind and the money, but the logical mind, what you got, you got this gift.

I mean, everybody has it, right?

To know, to know, like you were saying earlier, Dolly, know your truth.

That's the easy part.

It's the mind that gets in the way and the money, but the mind, the mind, logical.

See, mind and heart are two.

You can always define a brain.

You can never define a mind.

Or heart, yes.

You can always define a heart.

You just see the beauty of heart and mind.

Mind cannot be defined.

A brain can be defined.

Heart can be defined.

Heart can be pointed.

Heart is felt.

It is your inner core.

It is your path to your soul.

So I think people probably come to an astrologist or the numerology then because we know we want to do in our heart.

Our mind tells us all these reasons not to.

And then we use the astrology as another tool to, okay, let's get a check on this besides the mind, besides the brain, the mind.

Let's use astrology to see, yeah.

Yeah, because see, deep down, they feel that they want to do this, but the mind says don't do it.

And they're getting frustrated and unhappy and they want to align.

So what astrology does or what I do as an astrologer, I align their heart and mind.

Oh, you help them understand.

I help them understand that when you align your mind and heart and you align your deepest value and aspirations, you will always be successful.

Always.

There's never a question that you won't be.

So before we finish, mention gemstones.

Do you do a lot with the stones, the energy in the stones?

How does that work?

Definitely.

Now, I deal a lot in stones because if you take long back, there was a Dr.

Carl Young who was a psychiatrist.

He was a doctor first and a psychologist later, and he was deep into astrology.

And those days, the medicines were not the way they are today.

And if you say there's a farmer mafia that has confused people with the medicines, they actually advocate so many steroids and medicines and all that, that makes you empty.

Throw it all in there.

One of them is going to work.

Now, what do the stones do?

They balance the energies in your body.

For listeners, we don't mean like stones in your backyard.

We mean gems, like colored crystals, right?

More than crystals, I would say gems.

Okay.

They have to be purified, purified in the sense that, like they say, blood diamonds, because they pass through so many hands.

And the workers who are working with the gems, they cannot even steal one gem.

But their energies are so much with the gems.

So there is an art, joy is a form of an art, which actually purifies these gems.

These gems balance the energies in our body.

And, you know, basically those doctors, what I was telling you about the olden days, because Dr.Kalyan said, wearing a gem takes out the root of the evil in your body.

See, if you have too much of fire in your body, chances are you may have a nervous breakdown.

Because your fire, your energies want to do so much, you're so ambitious, you are so over ambitious at times.

So if you can balance the fire energies in your body, you can use that fire constructively.

So when a person has more fire energies, which are basic, because these all planets also are made out of elements.

They have a water element, there's an air element, there's an earth element, there is a fire element.

Now, these stones attack and balance these elements, our energies in our body, and we are able to think rationally.

People who have more water energies in their body, they are either completely devoid of emotions or very emotional.

Now, people who are emotional or devoid of emotional become victims of depression.

And depressions lead to many other diseases in your body.

So, you'll give them a stone that balances that?

I give them a stone to balance those energies, and the counseling along with it helps them understand what is going wrong with them, and how they can actually harness it back.

In fact, I have treated through planets, I have treated many people who have been depressed, or who have completely clueless of how to handle their lives.

What's a common stone do you give people who are depressed?

I will not say it's a common stone.

There are different stones.

There is a sapphire, there is a moonstone, there is a ruby, there is a green tourmaline, a blue tourmaline, kyanide, cat's eye, tiger's eye.

Do they wear them or do they sleep with them?

They definitely wear them in their neck and they wear it with faith.

See, if I prescribe a stone to you and from the chart, I come to know whether the person has faith or not.

If the person doesn't have faith, I tell them, look here, stone is a catalyst that will balance your energies.

But if your resilience or strength of mind can harness what I'm telling you to harness, then you don't require the stones.

It's like you have to pacify your thirst.

You can either do it with water or you can do it with a cold drink.

I was trying to think of an analogy because it sounds esoteric when you just say stones, but everything you pick up has a feeling.

If you pick something up, then I'm trying to think of an analogy of something less.

But that's why people are confused because people don't even know how to harness their intuitions.

There's a very thin line between intuitions and visual thinking.

I sometimes have to give exercises for people to work on their intuitions.

Because every individual has the strength and wisdom to overcome any adversity.

Provided their eyes are open, their heart is open.

And sometimes the heart and mind, because of the circumstances or the stress that they are surrounded with, it tends to be closed.

Haven't you experienced, Daniel, at times when your mind is somewhere else, you tend to do a wrong thing?

No, I did.

I've been accused of daydreaming a lot.

I do.

I was, where did he go?

Where did he go?

My teachers in school.

Sometimes you're so in your stress or in your life or in the process of life that you forget that there is a gate open this side.

So I'm just a person who indicates through the planets that, hey, you can do this.

Go left, go right, go straight.

The door is open or will be open or it's going to be closed.

I never sell them carrots.

I'm very cruel to them at times, but I'm cruel to be kind.

Because if I don't tell them the truth, I never sell them cupcakes, I never sell them carrots.

But I have a way of telling them that it's time that you start empowering yourself with your self-belief because resilience and responsibility.

So tell me about your book, Looking Beyond.

Looking Beyond is about, this book is basically written on my own experience, right from my birth to whatever I am today, in which I am wanting and or inspiring people, in fact, I would say that it's so important to look beyond the existing circumstances, look beyond yourself.

Don't only condition yourself with what other people think of you.

In the book, I think you talk about the strengths and how to carve your path to personal freedom.

You know, it is like how you look beyond what people think of you and look beyond what you think of yourself.

That's actually the key.

Once you look beyond, let's say, look beyond just accumulating wealth, there are different chapters.

Look beyond just creating wealth, create memories.

When you create memories, wealth automatically follows.

You run after money and honey, it runs away from you.

So look beyond the money and honey.

I like that.

Look around, look about it, look beyond.

Beyond.

Yeah.

And sometimes you start believing what other people tell you what you are.

And that can be very, very pathetic.

That can be very, very depressing.

So look beyond.

Can they hear people out?

But look beyond and listen to your heart.

Picture comes into my head.

I mean, get an event, a public event.

And I'm a tall guy, but I want to look beyond.

You know, there's always people in the way.

These other people, they're all doing their own thing.

And you got to like kind of try to stand on tiptoe.

Look over them.

Look beyond.

Yeah.

Look beyond.

It's always wise to look beyond rather than always look down.

See, when we're walking on the road, if we put our head down, always we are only seeing what is immediately in front of us.

But when we are walking straight with your head held high, you're looking beyond and your perceptions are much more clearer.

You get that clarity of mind and you exactly know which route to take, whether this or that, or should you work straight.

You are more in control of yourself when you look beyond any situation.

Let's say if your partner is not behaving with you, you look beyond, just breaking off is not an answer.

That's an easy way out.

But look beyond, why is the partner being what he is?

If he still doesn't behave in spite of your understanding, then look beyond what you want.

What is the kind of life?

Looking beyond is, I would say, the key factor where I say wise people navigate the way.

It's fools who believe in luck.

Good one.

So we covered a lot, Dolly.

Is there anything else before we wrap that you want to add that we haven't talked about?

You know, for me, I would like everyone to understand that life is in your hands.

You need to take control of your own destinies.

And the approach when we listen to the cosmic or the celestial, like I call myself the celestial master.

And I feel that when we go with the discipline of the celestial, it not only empowers us to plan, act and achieve our goals, but it's no point waiting passively for predictions to unfold.

It's all about harnessing the disciplined wisdom of the universe to build a life that aligns with our deepest values and aspirations and be a complete person with happiness.

Your website, dollymanghat.com, will be in the show notes.

And people can also go to that website and book a consultation with you directly, right?

Absolutely, Daniel.

Nice.

It's been a pleasure meeting you, Daniel.

Your energies are like very positive.

And what I feel is that, you know, your books can be brilliant.

They'll be a very interesting read.

Thank you.

Thanks for being on my show.

I really appreciate it.

God bless you and you stay blessed.

Me too.

Good evening.

Thank you.

You too.

Have a great day ahead.
