Learning Astrology

Post by Comeback Kid » 16 Jul 2018

I have been interested in the subject of astrology ever since my parents took me to astrologer once regarding an issue. I had some query related to the same. Hope I can get some useful tips from the learned scholars in this forum.

1. How can I learn astrology?
2. What is the best way to learn astrology?
3. How much time does it take?
4. How much money it will cost me?
5. Any other advices?

Dear friend ,
The best way to learn astrology as of now is to learn through books , articles and basics from scriptures of rishis . What is passed on from rishies got watered down through the ages . Many interpretations , intrapolations have changed the original tenets . The next step in studying thousands of charts and verifying the real facts with the findings revealed in the charts . It takes minimum of 12 years . It does not cost much if you offer to study the charts and help the consultants with analysis with unbiased views . If you have a thirst for knowledge nature cooperates with you .

Dear friend ,
It may not be possible to get all original versions of scriptures . you can get
1. phaladeeika ---- Manthreswara . 3. Uttara kalamritha ,
2. Saravali ------------ Kalyanaverma . 4.Jyothisharnava navaneetham
try to go through all books by B.V. Raman , articles and books by sri K.N.rao , as many old issues as possible of old Astrological magazines , to start with .

I'm also new to Jyotish but I want you to stay clear of inconsistencies at the beginning.

In addition to what Coffeeday has recommended, I don't advise to deviate from Dr. B.V. Raman and K.N. Rao (and his students) for now.

Don't get into Sanjay Rath, Bepin Behari, Greenstone Lobo, and the likes because you'll end up getting confused and lost. That is a major problem in Astrology. You can go off track because there is no regulated way of learning. The best way is to find yourself a competent Guru. That will smoothen your learning.

For now, stick to Dr. Raman and K.N. Rao as they are the best teachers out there and know how to keep it simple and effective. Don't even get into Jaimini without becoming proficient in Parashari system first.
