ABOUT
Welcome to Light of the Stars! My name is Nicholas Royce, and I am an astrologer practicing the ancient tradition of India known as jyotish.
I have been interested in the stars from a young age. I was a member of the astronomy club in elementary school, and I would frequently read the short horoscopes in the newspaper.
In July of 2006, an event occurred that would change the course of my life. I was involved in a motorcycle accident that, by the accounts of first responders, I should not have survived.
It was through this event that I recognized that there was more to life than my physical existence. Though I'd believed in God for some time, I then KNEW for certain that there was a higher power that had a hand in our lives, and that there was a greater purpose for my existence on Earth.

For many years a couple questions circled in the back of my head. Why did I survive? And what is my greater purpose? In late September 2015 I unknowingly shifted into my Rahu dasha, activating my 9th house of spirituality and higher learning. This sent me on a deep dive into the world of the esoteric and occult, wildly changing my world view, and arriving at my soul.
I was introduced to vedic astrology through Sam Tripoli's TFH podcast when Jeff Harman, a second generation astrologer, appeared on the show. In that episode I learned the difference between the tropical and sidereal zodiacs and got a picture of the incredible breadth and depth of jyotish, the science of light.
Since that time I have immersed myself in the world of astrology - reading books, consuming podcasts and YouTube videos, and soaking up what I can from other jyotishis. I am currently a mentee under the tutelage of Jeremy Devens, founder of Quietmind Astrology.
If it feels resonant for you, I would be honored to have a look at what your chart says in regards to the four main aims of life - your health, your wealth, your relationships, and your purpose - as well as answer any questions you may have. I was able to answer my soul's calling through finding and studying astrology, and it is in my dharma to be of service and give back to those seeking to find their own dharma of this lifetime.
My contact information can be found below. Please like, share, and subscribe to all of my social feeds. My posting is few and far between at the moment, as I am currently working a full-time job. Once I am able to transition out of the corporate arena, I'll be able to post on socials a bit more.
For now, email is the best method of contact for comments, feedback, or just scratching an itch to say hello!
I am so incredibly grateful for the currency of your attention, and, if you have made it this far on this page, my deepest gratitude goes out to you!
Thank you for exploring Light of the Stars!
