Welcome to The Lumina Effect

Across the centuries, civilizations have turned to the heavens for guidance, inspiration, and identity. From the precision of ancient Egyptian pyramids aligned with celestial constellations to the breathtaking astronomical observatories of Jaipur, space and design have always been deeply intertwined with cosmic energy. Inspired by this timeless tradition, The Lumina Effect by Retrograde Observatory brings a revolutionary perspective to modern lifestyle consultation, space design, and identity creation.

A Rare Fusion of Subjective and Objective Realities

At The Lumina Effect, we believe identity is not static—it is a dynamic blend of subjective desires and visionary aspirations, harmonised with objective celestial positioning. Using a method rooted in Observation methodology, we map the unique interplay of these forces to craft lifestyles, spaces, systems, and legacies that are as rare and enduring as the astronomical events that inspire them.

Our work is inspired by centuries-old techniques of aligning art, design, and technology with astronomical phenomena. Whether it’s the Machu Picchu sun temple, which captures the solstice sun with perfect precision, or the Jantar Mantar observatory, designed to track the movement of the stars, these examples prove that when design meets cosmic rhythm, the results are extraordinary and timeless.

What We Do

We specialize in crafting subjective identities for individuals and brands and transforming them into objective experiences—be it a space, product, system, or process. Through precise astronomical positioning, celestial calculations, and design inspiration, we create a flow that mirrors the natural order and rhythm of the cosmos.

How It Works

• Astronomical Mapping: We use the zodiac system, celestial placements and events to understand the natural rhythm governing your life or brand.

• Identity Development: By blending your subjective essence—your aspirations, desires, and imagination—with the objective rhythm of the cosmos, we craft a design and flow unique to you.

• Space, Systems & Legacies: We design art installations, spaces, systems, and processes that reflect your timeless identity and create an enduring legacy for generations to come.

Our Secret Recipe

This transformative process is powered by over 20 years of mystical research and celestial observation by our Chief Mystic, Kartikeya Mudgal. With unparalleled expertise in the zodiac system and a profound understanding of art & design, Kartikeya has developed a proprietary calculation methodology that serves as the foundation for our consultations.

It’s a process that combines design, art, and technology to deliver results that are not just inspiring but deeply aligned with the core identity of the individual or brand.

By harmonizing subjective vision with objective cosmic order, we help you build a legacy that is not only functional but inspiring—something that can be passed down and remembered for generations.We bring the ethos of timelessness to your personal or brand identity—infusing art, design, technology, and natural rhythms into every aspect of our creations.
