About this book
A complete, 515-page ground-up rebuild of the classic beginner's primer into an authentic Jyotish textbook — 24 chapters plus a glossary and quick-reference appendix, taking you from "what is a birth chart?" to reading, timing and predicting like a consultant. Every graha, bhava, rashi, yoga, dasha and life-area is opened with the 360-Degree Expansion Model — scriptural roots (BPHS, Phaladeepika, Saravali, Jaimini), a beginner's analogy, the working mechanics, the advanced nuances, then the psychological, karmic and real-world layers. Written to read like a premium international textbook, not an AI summary.
