Dear Shirish Patil,

It would have been better if you ask a few question at a time.I shall try to

answer some of them here.

1. Astrology could mean Western and Chinese astrology too. By Jyotish we mean

Vedic/Indian system of Astrology. Even here there are many branches but all are

called as Jyotish.

2. You may get Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, jataka Parijaat, Phaldeepika and

How to Judge a Horoscope by B.V.Raman. Sanjay Rath's Crux of Astrology is also

very good for advanced astrologers.

3. You will find the qualifications of an astrologer mentioned in all standard texts.

4. Normally, when we talk about Jyotish Predictions based on Horoscope is

indicated.Though all other systems are based on this science.

5. Jyotish is said to be a Vedanga and the bassis is multidimentional and not

restricted to the Tridoshas.Planetary Positions at the time of birth and

current positions, Nature of Planets(Satva,Raja, Tama)their

prakriti(Kapha,Vata,Pitta) and many other factors form the bassis of this

science.

6. As you are well versed in Ayurveda, the question appears

superfluous.Predictive sciences are never finite. There always the possibility

of error on the part of one who practices it. You will agree that even amongst

aurveda practitioners different diagnosis is made for the same patient by

different practitioners.

7. Astrology recgnises the effects of past karma as the horoscope that you

get.This implies that the future also depends on your Karma. If used as a

guide,it helps one avoid pitfalls and lessen impact of bad effects and

increases the good effects of the yogas by enabling one to take right decisions

at the right time.As a matter of fact being an Aurvedacharya you should

understand the logic easily. Why does a Vaidya give medicine for Cold? Even if

not treated it will go away afgter about a week.

All the answers to your questions you will find in the astrological texts

mentioned above. Please read them and if there any query feel free to ask.

Chandrashekhar.

state of mind of the person undertaking it's study?* What are the

qualities of a good Astrologer?* What are ways and means of telling

future? For example, hand/palmand face reading, etc.* What is the basis of

Astrology? For example, Ayurveda is based onTridosha theory of Vata, Pitta and

Kapha.* Why is that 2 different people cannot predict/tell the same

thingabout a person?* If the prarrabdha/fate/destiny is fixed, then why

study Astrology?How it helps?* How is Astrology related to Ayurveda?*

How Astrology helps in healing? For example, does wearing gems helpto reduce the

effect of some disease?* What is th origin/history of Astrology?* What
