Reader Reviews
Actually I disagree with Braha's attempt to salvage certain western techniques and integrate these fragments into Vedic astrology. The proper method for learning jyotish is to go whole-hog into the jyotish worldview -- no matter how many years you have invested in tropical thinking! However, this book may be just what the rishi ordered for the tropical-but-wavering-toward-vedic audience. If you're a Western astrologer tired of bizarre house cusps, miniscule angles, and the West's great body of fragmented astrological literature, Braha's book may help you take that first step toward jyotish. (You'll be glad you did!) Braha says in the book that because he enjoyed some life-changing readings with tropical astrologer Isabel Hickey in his youth, he believes it worthwhile to preserve some of the western techniques which grounded excellent predictors like her. Although I doubt that such rare accurate tropical readings justify preserving the tropical system (e.g., Hickey was an extraordinary mystic who could have predicted with tea leaves or raven calls as well!) I nevertheless recommend Braha's text as a clear, compassionate, straightforward, step-by-step manual for learning to re-think your tropical charts in the Vedic style. Written in a pleasant tone which is respectful of learning curve stress, it offers enough examples to introduce jyotish, without overburdening the beginner.
