Namaskar Vivek ji and Rishi ji.
Thanks so much for the e-book. After reading your messages, I am feeling lot more encouraged having found teachers like you. I have gone through the contents of the and I feel the book will set me in proper direction.

Let us give an example.
Seventh Bhaava in the raashi chart shows the Attitude of the native towards marriage or partnerships. The lord of the Bhaava shows how the intelligence works in these matters.
Shukra the kaaraka shows the way in which the native meets the spouse (the circumstances surrounding the same).
Tithi lord will show the main complain a spouse will have towards the native.
Upapada shows the giving that is required in the sacred bond.
Nakshatra shows the compatibility of the two so united in the sacred bond.
This is physical, mental, sexual, spiritual and Pranic.
Seventh Bhaava in Navaamsha shows the spouse.
So you see each aspect has specific usage and should be used only for knowing about the particular facet it shows.
Combining together all these gives us a composite picture and make us see a bit better in the darkness of the future.
That was a nice example and gives good insight into what really is considered by a good astrologer in determining about a particular question from a horoscope. It also make me think that Astrology has answer to ALL the questions, if you really search for it.
I really liked the lessons about Planets, though I have just went briefly over the content. The way the so many number of properties attributed with a planet really makes me think the whole setup is running as person design and has answers for the seekers.
I should confess that, like a novice I estimated a 3 weeks of study of all the lessons to get a grasp. But after a first round of walk through of all the lessons, I feel 1-2years is optimal time to gain reasonable understanding on the subject. And the fact that the lessons have been running since 2 years confirms that.
Apologies if I have dumped too much. I was trying to convey what I felt....more like a feeling of excited novice.
That apart, if we can start a thread in this learning forum that deals with discussing things that cannot be classified into any of the lessons would be good.
I have accumalated some questions over last few months and I feel I will get them answered in this course or from the discussions that we have here.
1. Blood Groups is a very narrow classification of people. Does Astrology talk about this in some sense.
[Edited out a Q regarding ayanamsa]
3. Can Astrology tell whether two persons can meet by looking at their horoscopes?
4. I read medicinal Astrology is used in predicting problems to body organs, curing the ills etc. Similarly is there something known as Criminal Astrology? Can Astrology give more clues into investigating crimes?
5. Now, one Question like a critic. Hope its not taken in wrong sense. What purpose has Astrology served so far? And what is the true potential of Astrology in terms of its usefulness to mankind.
Thanks,
Gemini.
