Book 1: The Textbook of Astrology by Umang Taneja
The Textbook of Astrology by Umang Taneja is presented as a comprehensive study resource for Hindu/Vedic Astrology. The book covers astrology from foundational concepts toward more advanced horoscope interpretation and predictive techniques.
The subject areas associated with the book include horoscope preparation, planetary principles, signs, houses, traditional astrology, and the interpretation of a birth chart. It can therefore serve as a reference for readers who want to understand the framework used in Vedic and Predictive Astrology.
The book is suitable for students who are beginning their study of astrology as well as readers who want to strengthen their understanding of traditional horoscope analysis.
Book 2: Essentials of Medical Astrology by Dr. K. S. Charak
Essentials of Medical Astrology by Dr. K. S. Charak, published by Uma Publications, focuses specifically on the application of Vedic astrological principles to the study of health and disease-related indications in a horoscope. Available bibliographic records list English editions from Uma Publications, including a 216-page paperback edition.
The book discusses a systematic approach to analysing horoscopes in relation to disease, including the use of divisional charts and dashas. It also covers concepts relating to sound and unsound health, congenital ailments, timing of disease, houses and planets associated with illness, and traditional medical-astrology principles.
Vedic Astrology and Horoscope Analysis
Vedic Astrology uses a structured system involving planets, signs, houses, aspects, divisional charts, dashas and other traditional factors. Learning these components provides a foundation for interpreting a birth chart.
The first book in this combo provides a broad astrology-learning framework, while the second takes the reader into a specialized area: Medical Astrology.
Medical Astrology and Health-Related Analysis
Medical Astrology is a specialized branch of traditional astrology that examines health-related indications through a horoscope. Dr. K. S. Charak’s book discusses houses, planets, divisional charts, dashas and specific classical concepts used in this type of astrological analysis.
Among the topics discussed are Balarishta, Arishta-Bhanga, Sarpa Drekkana, Gulika or Mandi, the Twenty-Second Drekkana and the Sixty-Fourth Navamsha, along with traditional combinations associated with ailments.
Divisional Charts and Dashas
Divisional charts, or Vargas, form an important part of traditional Vedic horoscope analysis. In Medical Astrology, the use of relevant Vargas along with dasha systems provides an additional layer of traditional chart interpretation. Essentials of Medical Astrology specifically discusses four Vargas and two dashas as part of its approach.
