Guest guest Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 On your web site you wrote, " An exception to the newer books is Valerie Roebuck’s The Circle of Stars (2002). Roebuck was not a member of the Vedic/Jyotish group in America since England was her home. As a Sanskrit scholar Roebuck stays faithful to the ancient and traditional Indian sources. Her book is the first book I recommend to new students of Jyotish so they get a view of India’s astrology prior to the grafting of new ideas and theories from the 90s and beyond. " Unfortunately, according to Amazon, Ms. Roebuck's book is " out of print-limited availability " .

I'd grab one if you can. I still think that book is great! Diana likes it too. The book comes up in an Amazon search, but has no photo of the cover. But it's the same book as the other link you mentioned. (It shouldn't be a separate link.) It's rather important to compare ancient information about the nakshatras with the modern add-ons in the newer books. Therese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Thanks, I'm glad I checked my e-mail just then. I found one " used/very good condition " for $3.99, before shipping charges. The rest was like $26, $42, and going up. I wonder if other people on this e-list read your post before I did, and scooped them up. I got to it just in time, I think. liberator_9 --- On Mon, 3/22/10, Therese Hamilton <eastwest wrote: Therese Hamilton <eastwest Re: The Nakshatras (lunar mansions) Monday, March 22, 2010, 6:27 PM Â At 03:54 PM 3/22/2010 -0700, liberator_9 wrote: >On your web site you wrote, " An exception to the newer books is Valerie >Roebuck's The Circle of Stars (2002).

I hope Valerie Roebuck sees that more are printed eventually. It's sad how many good astrology books shine briefly and then disappear. There just aren't enough buyers. Valerie used the Fagan-Bradley ayanamsa for some reason, but that's easy to adjust to Lahiri. It doesn't affect the quality of the book.
