ABOUT
The stars reveal the pattern. You choose the path.
Astrology gives context to your experiences, while coaching helps you move through them with intention. My work blends both Vedic Astrology and life coaching so you can craft a life filled with acceptance, empowerment, and meaning.
Informed by transits, grounded in transformation.
I created Anara Rising for thoughtful exploration and personal development. This is a place where astrology becomes more than insight into the stars; it becomes insight into yourself. Through our work, I will guide you towards finding the hidden meaning in your struggles, reconnecting with your natural gifts, and rising above what feels uncertain or overwhelming.
When I began this journey, I wanted a name that spoke to both the softness and the strength of transformation.
Anara, the pomegranate: whole, feminine, and full of potential.
Rising, the steady return to self after setbacks, the calm that follows awareness, and the courage to keep growing.
Anara Rising is not just a name, it’s a reflection of everything I believe about healing and coming back to your center.
Hi, I’m Ira!
I grew up in India, surrounded by quiet conversations about astrology. My elders consulted their charts, not as fortune-telling, but as a way to understand life’s rhythm. Though I never studied it during my younger years, astrology was a curiosity that stayed with me even as I built a long career in IT and traveled across Europe, the U.S., Asia, and Australia.
After years of structure and strategy, I longed for something more: meaning. That longing deepened when I was diagnosed with breast cancer while living in Southeast Asia. Recovery brought reflection and a new pursuit of health, balance, and awareness. So I decided to study coaching through Duke University and, eventually, felt called back to the wisdom that had always fascinated me.
I returned to the teachings and began formal study in Vedic astrology with two life-changing mentors. The more I practiced, the more I witnessed how astrology and coaching complemented each other: one offered insight and the other guided action.
Today, through Anara Rising, I bring both together to help others rise from confusion into clarity, with calm compassion, spiritual connection, and self-awareness.
My True North
Over the years, I’ve realized that good guidance doesn’t need to be complicated, it just needs to connect. That truth has shaped my beliefs and my practice.
I believe…
Astrology and coaching should make life feel clearer, not heavier.
Every person deserves guidance that fits into real life, not abstract advice.
In translating the complex into the practical so you can actually use what you learn.
Awareness brings calm, and calm is where change begins.
We all rise in our own rhythm, at our own pace. There is no rush, only understanding.
“In old stories, the pomegranate was said to mirror the night sky: hundreds of red seeds glimmering like constellations inside a single shell. It was a reminder that what seems ordinary often contains the infinite. The divine hides itself in the everyday.”
