Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
Vedic Astrology has to be the most thoughtfully organized book dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of the Parasara method of Jyotish, "the science of light." Jyotish transcends the limitations of a logical approach to astrology, reaching into the realm of abstractions and intuition to comprehend the spirit. Ronnie Gale Dreyer goes through the common missteps and maps out the pitfalls that plague novices, and her more than 20 years of study put this complex and sometimes overwhelming subject within reach of the Western astrologer.
Synopsis
Vedic, or Jyotish astrology, has its roots in Indian and Hindu culture, making it markedly different from its Western counterparts. The author of this book explains how it can be used, and how it shouldn't be used, in this introduction.

Einleitungssatz
TO TRACE THE EARLIEST roots of astrology in India, it is helpful to go back to the third and fourth millennia (between 4000 and 2000 B.C., the approximate dates of the Age of Taurus) when there were four major Eastern civilizations whose communities centered around fertile river valleys.

Format:Taschenbuch
I found this book to be too much of a "cookbook". Information is good, but not enough at all. The section about the divisionals is bad..why tell you how to construct a navamsa or hora chart if she doesn't tell you how to use it during interpretation? It's an okay introductory text..but I strictly mean "just okay". Light on Life by Hart DeFouw is *MUCH* better, although you must be more of an intellectual to grasp the information. Dreyers book was written for attention spanned challenged Americans, I think. It was one of the first jyotish books I bought, but I don't refer back to it when I have a question. I couldn't recommend this book.
Format:Taschenbuch
This book is a valuable resource. IT is arranged well and is easy to look at and to read. You can find the information you need easily and construct charts with this book alone. The author begins with a well-researched explanation of both the history of astrology, and the explicit differences between western astrology and jyotish. This information is a must-read for first-timers. Because the author is American, she is able to make jyotish logical and understandable to Americans. A very good book to put to practical use.

Disappointing book
24. April 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
[...]
I have read a number of Jyotish books including books written by Indian authors. I would not recommend you to buy this book.
Its not good at all. Mostly just a mechanical reproduction of some principles without explaining them properly.
The main thing that bothered me was that the author has not shown the use of navamsha at all. Most astrologers in India
dont even start analysing unless they see the navamsha also.
[...] If you are a beginner read, "Light On Life by Hart Defaouw" . Its the best for beginners!
After reading "Light on Life" , read "Elements of Vedic astrology 1 & 2 by Dr.Charak". The book by Dr.Charak is one of the most comprehensive book in English (other than classical texts).
Point is that there are numerous great Pandits and scholars
who have written books on astrology and these books are a thousand times better than this one.
