The Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (BPHS) is universally recognized as the cornerstone of Hindu predictive astrology (Jyotish Shastra).

Volume I introduces the core concepts — planets, houses, zodiac signs, aspects, and significations — while Volume II delves into advanced predictive methods like Dasha systems (Vimshottari, Kalachakra, Ashtottari), Yogas, Divisional Charts (Vargas), and remedial measures.
