Why this book for learning astrology

For beginners — if you are wondering which book to start learning astrology with, the first 30 chapters lay the groundwork of the kundali, the nine planets, the twelve signs, the twelve houses and the 27 nakshatras; predictive astrology follows in order. You can learn at home, at your own pace, step by step.

Learn to read a kundali — every planet in every house (chapters 52–60), the lords of all twelve houses (61–73), all twelve ascendants (75–86) and complete worked chart analyses in chapter 194, so you move from theory to reading a birth chart.

Rooted in the Parashari system — Vimshottari dasha and antardashas (97–111), divisional charts from D2 to D45 (141–177) and Ashtakavarga (120–125) in the tradition of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, along with Yogini dasha, Lal Kitab remedies, numerology and horary.

Dashas, transits and matching — rules for timing events, plus kundali matching, Manglik dosha and navamsha-based marriage analysis (chapters 49–50, 158–165).

Simple Hindi — every rule is given as a sutra, with examples.
