 Written on May 21, 2002 Summary: More than just an Introduction into Vedic science! This book is really helpful in getting startet with Vedic Astrology. Especially the description of the nakshatras is very well made, Mr. Levacy knows how to use special words in different cases and makes distinctions where it`s useful for the students to look beneath. Second the Rulerships of planets (e.g.Ruler of fifth house occupies the tenth!) is explained in a way of cause-and-effect mechanism, so you will be able to use this book for checking out the rulerships as well as you will understand the exchanging effects of energies between the signs and the ruling planets. Planets and Retrograde Movements included (very understandable and clear!!!) Third, Planetary Yogas are touched as well Ayurveda and Vastu, a good intro into these matters(so you won`t forget that there`s sth. more coming from the Veda, which might lead to further studies?). CD-rom for computations included? ........ YES! Written on March 1, 2002 Summary: Great Book on Jyotish,Vedic Astrology! So far, this is the only Hindu astrology book existing that has free software for calculating your own chart, and your family & friends charts ,too that I know of. Even in the other kinds of astrology, you don't get any software to help you out. This is really a special present, and I want to thank the author. Written on September 23, 2001 Summary: Great Book to Start out with! I am just starting down the road of Vedic Astrology and so was looking for a book that could teach me the basics...a foundation if you will...that I could later use to explore more in depth aspects in the future. This I feel is being achieved with reading Mr Levacy's book. He explains things directly and with normal everyday language that differs greatly from the more cold and scietific books that I found many of the Indian authors produced. I was skeptical (having no background at all in either Western or Vedic Astrology) that I would find myself way over my head, but the text is very easy to understand and as I have now had a chance to look at books by other western authors, I know now that Mr. Levacy is not only proficient in his knowledge, but also possesses the teaching skills necessary to communicate it to others with little or no knowledge of the subject. The only thing I would suggest is that the back cover section that reads that the book is geared towards those with an "understanding of astrology"...be eliminated. It is true, that to the reader new to astrology, the terminology may be at first a challenge...but Mr. Levacy gives good definitions of terms in the text and in addition, the glossary of terms in the back of the book is extensive and well written. Overall I was very pleased.  Written on April 4, 2001 Summary: Clear disappointment A beginner's guide? Yeah sure. Yes, the book tells what the Vedic astrology is all about, but then it is only descriptions for different houses, signs etc. It says, that with the book you are ready to draw charts Vedic way, but what if you don't have knowledge of the algorithms needed to draw charts. The book comes with a bonus CD that includes a demostration(!) version of a software that can draw a chart automatically. It smells like that the book's author wants you to buy the full version of the software and without that, the book is quite worthless. I don't like the author's attitude at all.  Written on August 24, 2000 Summary: Pleasing and useful elementary reference This is, as many reviewers have correctly noted, a well written and very clear book (which already puts it well ahead of most books on jyotish). It is extremely user-friendly. The book lays out the fundamentals of the planets, the constellations and all the major concepts required for someone unfamiliar with jyotish to make sense out of a chart. If there is a problem here, I think it's because the book is not really very reflective at all concerning the depth of meaning associated with the various aspects of jyotish--but that's hardly a fair criticism given that it is designed as a very general introduction. I think it makes a useful reference for a beginning student to look up general concepts, broad associations with rashis, planet placement, etc., but it's very broadness makes it relatively hard to use for more detailed analysis of charts. "Light on Life" remains my favorite introductory book, but, in all honesty, I wish I had read this one first: it would have made reading "Light on Life" a lot easier. |
