Guest guest Posted December 19, 2002 Report Share Posted December 19, 2002 Terese - thanks so much for this additional information - it will be very helpful - I have a whole wall full of wonderful books on Astrology but none of them are on sidereal - I will try to get the one's that you suggest - thanks again.. woops, I forgot, I have a couple of books on Vedic Astrology - I like the one by James Braha...... I have been using the Lahiri chart when I play around with the square South Indian chart... I have many years experience with Tropical but want to look into Sidereal too - sometimes the rulerships in Tropical don't seem right.... so I keep an open mind.... Are you in the States? I am in Australia. Warm Regards, Shamira M - Terese Hamilton Thursday, December 19, 2002 3:48 PM Books on Astrology Hello Shamira, I did plan to leave this board, but it's nice to see a post that isn't bashing someone else. Here are a few books I recommend: For an overview of ancient western astrological techniques compared to the modern: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO TRADITIONAL ASTROLOGY by Joseph Crane, published by Arhat, 1997. The best book on Jyotish (Indian astrology) is Hart DeFouw and Robert Svoboda's LIGHT ON LIFE. Penguin/Arkana 1996. For the use of sidereal solar and lunar returns my favorite book is James Eshelman's INTERPRETING SOLAR RETURNS. But I don't know if this book is still in print. (And there are errors of interpretation in the book.) Just to keep your history straight: CHRONOLOGY OF THE ASTROLOGY OF THE MIDDLE EAST AND THE WEST BY PERIOD by Robert hand, Arhat. Only $2.50, a good reference. I've thrown out all the quadrant house systems based on my own experience. I use the house system called " Indian equal house. " The ascendant degree is the cusp of all the houses (in every sign), but the house extends 15 degrees on either side of the cusp. 'Cusp' means peaking point, not beginning. I use sign-as-house for the Indian yoga combinations. I use the Krishnamurti ayanamsa and make extensive use of the navamsa chart. I purchased all my western sidereal books (Fagan-Bradley school) long ago when they were in print. I'm not sure what is available now, but other members of this board (if they can stop shouting at each other...I simply cannot believe recent posts on this board) can probably help you there. I read ALL books with caution. I like LIGHT ON LIFE, but I disagree with some of the material in the book. I also don't always agree with Jim Eshleman (who is now an attorney). And I hate square charts. Stay with glyphs and the circular chart. They are a lot more intuitive. I redraw any square charts I see in books. Main thing is, read with an open mind and don't accept anything just because someone says something. We're all human....we all make mistakes and misjudge. There are no astrological Gods. We're all flawed and have a lot to learn. Arhat has a web site where books can be ordered. But maybe all these books are available from astroamerica.com. Dave at astroamerical keeps shipping costs down and is very prompt. LIGHT ON LIFE can be ordered and purchased at any book store. Please write to me, Shamira, if you have any questions. There is no good material out there on the meanings of sidereal signs, except that sidereal planets are strong in their own and exaltation signs. I have material for a web site ready to go. Maybe in January. (a few more notes below....)

That's the theory, but it's not always so simple! There are western sidereal ideas and Jyotish (Vedic) ideas. It takes a lot of experience to get it right. It's still not always clear to me.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2002 Report Share Posted December 19, 2002 Hi Shamira, Oh...you're in Australia! That's why you're awake. It's late here and time for sleep. I have a couple of Australian correspondents, but it's about the Sai Baba expose and not astrology. I live in California. If you like the square charts, use them. A lot of people like them. I've always been a 'circle' person. James Braha's book is a good starter book. Somewhat dogmatic, but O.K. A lot easier to read than Light on Life. Lahiri is so close to Krishnamurti, that the differences only show up in the dasa dates, and once in a while in the navamsa chart. Yes, the rulerships are where the Tropical/sidereal differences show up. I used Tropical astrology for 10 years, and I think many of the observations about signs are correct. But these observations relate to sidereal rulers. It's too complicated to explain here. I hope we'll get our website up soon. Take care!
