Hi Francoise, Jyotish can't really be reduced to keywords, but the best modern book on the topic, LIGHT ON LIFE by Hart DeFouw and Robert Svoboda does have many keywords in the different sections of the book. For example, under " Personification (of the planets) " on page 87 he has this list: Sun rules the soul Moon rules the senses and the emotions Mars rules power and strength Mercury rules the rational mind and speech (and so on) You don't have to read the book straight through, but you can choose which pages and topics to review. I use the book all the time as a reference, and I've been studying Jyotish since the 1970s. Parashara's Light software has the ability to click on a planet, house, etc and keywords and phrases will come up on the screen. But the latest version is slow and cumbersome with many key phrases that are strictly Indian. The older versions are better and faster, but they aren't sold anymore. I upgraded to version 7, but mainly use PL 2000, which has much nicer printouts and fast screen updates. Rex Bills' book is really not very good for Jyotish. All Bills did was collect keywords from different tropical sources, and these are often at odds with the keywords in Dr. J. Lee Lehman's THE BOOK OF RULERSHIPS, which stays with the traditional meanings. Therese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what do you think of Levacy's book, Beneath a Vedic Sky? -- Regards, François Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not strictly tropical or sidereal. > > Also, what do you think of Levacy's book, Beneath a Vedic Sky? I haven't seen that book.
