Astrology For Beginners Paperback – January 1, 2002

I had expected this book to introduce me to Vedic Astrology: the basics, and in an understandable way for a Western astrologer. This book does not do that. In fact I am not sure what it does. It is only a few score pages, printed on cheap stock and is not organized in what I would consider a pragmatic way.I've since bought a number of Vedic books so I have a better idea now of the ideas put forth by this book and this author. They are simple enough I suppose for a beginner but only if, perhaps, that beginner is an Indian and has already grown up in a culture where such astrology is commonplace. I think it is useless for a Westerner.

As a beginner wanting to learn Astrology, this book provides the basics knowledge to begin learning about astrology. The only thing this book might lack is the details needed for a beginner to understand.

I find the writing is actually intended for people who already know some form of basic astrology. I am still plodding through trying to understand "Astrology for Beginners"!!!

The printing of this book is absolutely horrible. Pages 5-20 repeat twice this is not by design. The print paper is of the lowest of the lowly quality. The print on a few pages has faded. This is the twenty ninth reprint (2013) so I think nobody from UBS Publishers bothered to check if they were printing all the pages.My opinion is stay clear from the twenty ninth reprint printed by Ram Printograph, New Delhi.
