Fundamentals of Vedic Astrology for Beginners - Er. P.L. Khushu - Sagar Publications - English

This book is authored to serve the purpose of learning of astrology by a fresh learner of astrology with ease and an easy understanding of the subject of basics of astrology. It encompasses the basic concepts of Vedic astrology, which are vitally needed to be known, before proceeding ahead to learn astrology and its essence. In fact, it is a summarized chronicle of the summation of the various fundamental astrological parameters, with detailing on the mathematical astrology, when it can be used as a reference book for various astrological calculations too. Knowing astrology without a proper grip on the fundamentals of astronomy, which is the base of astrology, is to have an incomplete knowledge of the subject of applied astrology, like any other applied science. Astrology is a systematic study of the role of the stars, called as the heavenly bodies in common language. The movement or the functioning of these heavenly bodies are linked to the science of astronomy. So, before mapping such heavenly bodies for astrological studies, the basic knowledge of astronomy is of dire need. An attempt has been made in this book to achieve that purpose as well, to a greater extent possible. It is very much necessary to have an accurate knowledge of mathematical part of astrology, before one casts a horoscope and locates its astrological strength, in respect of its planets and houses. This book has enough relevance to the mathematical part of the astrology to cast a horoscope, viz, the main birth chart, the divisional charts and other allied mathematical parameters of astrology relevant to the predictive part of astrology. Hope this book serves the purpose of being a chronicle of both astronomical and the mathematical side of astrology.
