The Art of Interpreting Horoscopes

A comprehensive guide to the techniques of astrological interpretation The Art of Interpreting Horoscopes gives, for the first time ever, the definition of a Graha in astrology. Shows how ancient classical dicta can be adapted and applied to contemporary charts to analyse: * Prim-Ministerial Yogas * Neechabhanga Raja Yoga * Adhi Yoga and Celebrity Status * Cases of Crime and Criminals * Crime Investigation * Possibility of Children and IVF * Loss of Children * Marriage from Navamsa Clues * Factors for Love Marriage * Swearing-in charts * Loss of Children India has always been an astrological society but at some point of time in the early part of the 20th century, the educated began to develop a certain distaste for this ancient science, largely because of the educational system in the country which distanced itself from the traditional branches of learning under a mistaken notion that by doing so, it was proving its rational credentials. However astrology being as good a science as any other of the modern ones, has stood the test of time and in recent years has made a resurgent reappearance as a result of my revered father, Father of Modern Astrology, the Late Dr. B. V. Raman's relentless efforts to propagate it as an academic subject. Astrology has now captured the interest of large segments of the educated public. The wave of resurgence has swept away this pseudo-rationalist resistance bringing with it the realization of the invaluable role astrology can play in helping cope with the ills of modern society. There has been some kind of snowballing effect in educated circles, both in our own country as well as in the west, primarily the United States of America, in their eagerness to retrieve, revive and restore Jyotish to its pristine glory. The ancient classical works on the subject are now being eagerly lapped up but the problem begins because of the times when the astrological rules were first formulated being so different from our own. The author has made effort to adapt and apply these rules in the form of dicta, Yogas and combinations to contemporary life in the process seeking to bridge the gap between the ancient rules and their applicational value to the present.
