The Nakshatras (lunar mansions), Trivedi's book

[Guest guest]

Sadly, on Amazon Trivedi's book is temporarily out of stock. The book has

mainly excellent reviews as Stephen Glaser noted. Dave at Astroamerica has

the book, but at a higher price than Amazon.

" ....Also included, full-color, full-page illustrations (by the author) of

each nakshatra, each created during a lunar transit of the nakshatra in

question.

Despite the size, this is not the best book on Nakshatras. My personal

favorites are by <v-defouw.htm#d54>Hart deFouw & Robert Svoboda and

<v-shub.htm#nakshatra>K.T. Shubhakaran. I have also heard nice things about

<v-defouw.htm#s96>Komilla Sutton and <v-g.htm#h63>Dennis Harness. "

 

My comment: I like DeFouw's nakshatra commentary because it's unadorned by

recent ideas by modern authors. I also like Kenneth Johnson's MANSIONS OF

THE MOON. Books are so easily printed these days. It makes choosing the

right book difficult.

 

Komilla's book is beautifully illustrated, but she clouds the waters by

mixing the mansions with tropical signs. I found a stack of her books at

Barnes & Noble selling out for $4.98 (originally $25) Wish I'd bought the

entire stack to share with other astrologers. It's a beautiful book, if not

especially accurate. I bought two--gave one to an astrological friend.
