How to Judge a Horoscope, Vol. 1

by B.V. Raman

How to Judge a Horoscope is a departure from the conventional method of treatment of astrology. It is a study in the use of Horoscope in every man’s daily life. The work in two volumes is divided in twelve houses, containing six each in consecutive order. The twelve houses have reference to the material relation of soul (jeeva) in its journey from the cradle to the grave. The study of illustrations (charts) makes every point—even the omitted rudimentary principles and rules - very clear and graspable. Volume I deals with houses I to VI. First House deals with the beginning of life, childhood, health, physical body and character. Second House represents family, face, right eye, food, manners and source of death. Third House rules brothers and sisters, intelligence and other immediate relations. Fourth House indicates peace of mind, home life, land and ancestral properties, education, neck and shoulders. Fifth House indicates children, intelligence, emotion and fame, Sixth House rules over debts, enemies, miseries, sorrows, illness and disappointments. Volume II deals with houses VII to XII. The Seventh House represents wife, husband, marriage, sexual diseases, business partner, diplomacy, talent and general happiness. The Eight House indicates longevity, legacies, disgrace, degradation and details pertaining to death. The Ninth rules father, righteousness, religion, fame leadership,journeys and communications with spirits. The Tenth indicates occupations, profession, honours, foreign travels and means of livelihood. The Eleventh represents means of gains, elder brother and freedom from misery. The Twelfth rules losses, expenditure,sympathy, divine knowledge, moksha and the state after death

For all the learning Astrologers , this is not a book to miss. The explanations are wonderful , Experience of Raman sir can be seen in all the chapters.
Example horoscopes will help you in Predcition
The only problem is that examples used is for South Indian Horoscopes.
So you should know the interrelation between south indian and North indian style.
But the book is a must read.
You can also read my book as a starter (Learn Astrology in 3 Hours)

A fine book. Interesting color by the numbers effects of certain grahas in certain bhavas. More importantly, it serves as fine introduction to the bhavas. Perfect for those who have read a more generalized introduction to Jyotish.
