Reviews by Readers
Reviewer: K.G. from Turkey, January 15, 2025
I finished the book in 3 days, like reading an exciting novel. I immediately ordered the author's previous book the first day. However, you don't need the previous book to understand this book. Every page of the book is full of information and commentary. The language is understandable. He never uses Sanskrit Jyotish terms in his writing style and that's why it's so fluent. There are a few spelling mistakes in the book; but he teaches so well that you get to the point where you realize they're mistakes and don't really care. There was a part that confused me and I sent an e-mail to the author. He responded very quickly. His attitude is very valuable to me. I've read dozens of Jyotish books, this was one of them that drew me in the most. I wish the author would publish more books. I recommend it to everyone.

Many topics included are noteworthy like "Ashtakvarga for Rahu & Ketu", "Deciding Profession" etc. Though professional and advanced astrologers may find it novice but, for new learners like me it was really good. I would suggest all new students must go through this book at least once.

To be read in continuation with 'Dots of Destiny', this book brings out unexpected but revealing glimpses into the fairly virgin territory that is Ashtakavarga. Thank you and please stay away from your 'illustrious' BVB mentor.
