How does Kismo check an astrologer before you talk to them?
Nobody can start taking paid sessions on Kismo by signing up. Every astrologer passes four steps first, and stays on Kismo only while their sessions hold up.

What does an astrologer have to pass to join Kismo?
Every Kismo astrologer passes four steps: a qualification review, a panel interview, live audits of real sessions and a 30-day probation.
1. Qualification review
The applicant's details, practices and years of experience are reviewed, along with a photo of their Aadhaar or PAN card and a selfie holding it. The ID photos are used only to confirm who they are and are deleted once the application is decided.
2. Panel interview
The applicant is assessed by the Kismo team on how they read a chart for a real question, in their own words.
3. Live audits
Real sessions are audited after the astrologer goes live, and clients rate every session.
4. 30-day probation
A new astrologer's first 30 days are a probation period. Astrologers stay on Kismo only while their sessions hold up.
What keeps an astrologer honest once they take sessions?
- Clients rate every session, and the rating shows on the astrologer's profile.
- An astrologer who misses requests is set offline and loses their place in the list.
- Pressure to buy a puja, a request for money outside Kismo, or no reply after accepting is handled by a person on the Kismo team.
- After a session Kismo suggests up to three other astrologers, so a second opinion is one tap away.
What can verification not promise?
Verification checks who an astrologer is and how they read a chart. It cannot make any reading come true, and no astrologer on Kismo is allowed to guarantee an outcome. Treat a promise of a fixed result, or pressure to pay for a ritual, as a reason to stop and ask someone else.
