(16th edition) This manual is devoted to the exposition of the important and essential principles of Hindu Mathematical Astrology to enable casting of horoscopes according to the approved rules of Hindu Astrology.

All unnecessary and superfluous information constantly employed by writers on Mathematical Astrology, which are not only cumbersome but also unimportant from the point of view of correct predictions, has been omitted. To caste and read a horoscope, a moderate knowledge of Mathematical Astrology is simply valuable.

This book deals with such aspects as the determination of the longitudes of planets, house-cusps, sunrise and sunset and other information essential for constructing a horoscope. A separate chapter, exclusively devoted to describing the method of casting the horoscope etc. according to the Western system and its reduction to the Hindu, has been included and this goes to enhance the value of the book by making it accessible to the Eastern and Western students alike.
This is a complete guide to the calculation of Vedic horoscopes, including divisional charts. It is also a guide & reference to Hindu concepts of time measurement (Vighatis, ghatis, etc.), sunrise & sunset calculation (when the sun is half-risen or set), instructions for the calculation of divisional charts, etc.

The book is intended both for the beginner and the advanced.
