Dear Milind,

 

Remember one thing, there is no short cut to Jyotish. It's a vast

subject, perhaps like a ocean. However, perusing following books may

enable a beginner to understand it well.

 

1) Elements of Vedic Astrology (two vols) by Dr. K.S. Charaka

 

2) Vedic Astrology: an integrated approach by P.V.R. Narasimharao

 

3) How to Judge a Horoscope (two vols) by B.V. Raman

 

Start with Dr. Charaka's book. It is in simple language and systemic

(like a science text-book), and gives you a strong foundation. Then

peruse Narasimharao's title that covers all building blocks and

fundamental techniques with example. While Raman's " how to " provides

art of reading chart.

 

Well, there are hundred of thousands of books, on general and specific

topics of Jyotish. But in my humble opinion, mentioned above three

titles are best available starter for a novice. After going through

these suggested readings you should also consider Jyotish classic

" Phaladeepaka " which has been a text books from medieval era to date.

 

 

With Regard,

M. Imran
