This is an introductory text about Vedic Astrology (Jyotish) which presents in a simplified manner with an aim to reduce confusing jargon in order to make it easier to understand and follow the fundamental essentials. A stepping stone towards gradually attaining practical experience in the vast field of vedic astrological divination with hopefully a pragmatic utility for all beginners interested in learning this fascinating discipline. Basic alphabet of the system is provided along with link to my helpful Primer (Jyotish and related articles, 400+ pages) which the readers can download for FREE. Together these offerings book will serve as a reference to be studied and revisited along your journey towards becoming an effective astrologer in a deeper and more meaningful manner than imbibing bits and pieces from social media or dipping into difficult to understand rehashed material from ancient scriptural texts. The book avoids superstitious rituals and similar constructs that generally turn-off the interest of the modern student. I plan to add more volumes using a similar approach with many practical examples depending on the interest shown by readers.
