Predictive Astrology - An Insight by Dinesh S Mathur (1999).pdf - Jyotish (Astrologia wedyjska) - AnnLea

Preface

An attempt has been made in this work to clarify the concepts

with regard to the Signs, Planets, and Houses in simple and

readable language. These are the building blocks of the

foundation on which an edifice of sound analytical knowledge of

predictive astrology may rest. What each of these factors

represents, what its characteristics are and what the postulates

and rules are relating to each of them have been clearly

enunciated. Further the results and effects of inter-action of these

factors have also been brought out in sufficient detail. To keep the

bulk of the work within limits, generally definitions and

commonly known or found facts have been dispensed with.

Thus, this is not a primer. It is meant for a person who, having

found the subject interesting and obtained its elementary

knowledge, wishes to delve deeper in it in a systematic manner.

There has been excessive emphasis on Yogas (planetary

placements and combinations) in predictive astrology, so much so

that, generally, the basics are lost sight of. The importance of

various yogas ought not to be belittled, but astrological

prediction is not mere application of yogas to the birth chart. In

the present day world, when astrology has assumed a place of

common interest and even a lay man likes to study the subject, to

expect a modem man to learn by heart the thousands and

thousands of yogas with which the astrological literature of yore

is replete, is to expect too much. He is also a little bewildered as

such an approach does not appeal to his rational mind.

For a sound knowledge and understanding of the subject, we

viii

Preface

must know the fundamentals and the manner in which they can

be analysed. In this book the reader is taken through the subject

in a scientific manner. He will realise that there is reason in

predictive astrology, and that it is not merely the product of

intuitive surmisings. My effort has been to emphasise this reason

and system.

In the last Chapter, the maladjustment that exists between the

Vimshottari Dasa System and Gregorian calendar has been

pointed out. The Dasa System has been adapted to the calendar

in vogue. It obviates the possibility of timings fixed with the use

of this System to fail. Suitable tables have been appended to save

the reader much arithmetical labour for, to my knowledge this

information is not available elsewhere in usable detail.

The strength of a planet is of foremost importance in Hindu

predictive astrology. The method of calculating the shadbala

(sixfold) strength of a planet is not only highly tedious but is

beyond the capability of a common reader. We have, in this

book, through a simple method, attempted to reach an

approximation to the six-fold strength of a planet without any

mathematical exercise. This has further been related to the

Vinshopaka strength of the planet. These two together will give a

very fair idea of the prowess of the planet to give results.

Long hours spent at the word-processor producing this book

could not make my wife Lalita, and the children, Radhika and

Rahul, impatient. I really marvel at their forbearance. My friends

have always encouraged me to put down my thoughts on paper.

This book is a result of that encouragement.
