Hora Shatak: Basic Concept of Predictive Astrology

by J.N. Bhasin

The basic concepts of astrology dealt with in this book are such which ascribe great significance and importance to the connections between a house its lord and its significator (Karaka). We have found in our prolonged study and research that basic rules for proper analysis of Yogas in Astrology, which cause certain events in the lives of the natives have not been dealt to fill this gap to the best of our ability by analyzing and demonstrating such principles logically because it is our firm belief that logic is the soul of the science of astrology.

We have often observed that the students of astrology while dealing with certain aspects in a nativity keep only a limited or partial vision on the principles of assessment of a horoscope. We have therefore, made an attempt to devise ruler rules to examine a certain human aspect from a number of houses and we ardently hope that the methods demonstrated here will receive universal acceptance and recognition.

About the Author:

The late Shri J.N. Bhasin was a great exponent of Hindu Astrology. His deep study, keen intellect, unquenchable thirst for knowledge, original thinking and practical experience turned him into an astrologer and writer of great eminence. He wrote both in Hindi and English. All his books are simple in language, easy to follow, and extremely rich and instructive in content. They are of a high standard and authoritative. They contain many rules and principles which have been brought to light for the first time. There will hardly be any student of Hindu astrology not having Shri Bhasin’s books in his library.
