How to Read A Horoscope

-P V R Rayudu

How to Read a Horoscope by P.V.R. Rayudu offers a structured approach to Vedic astrology, focusing on the benefic and malefic influences of planets and houses (bhavas) in a horoscope. Rayudu introduces a quantitative method, assigning weightages to various planetary conditions—such as exaltation, debilitation, ownership, aspects, and associations—to calculate their overall positive or negative impact. This analytical model extends to bhavas, considering factors like planetary placement, aspects, and lordship to determine their benefic or malefic tendencies.

The book provides comprehensive guidelines for interpreting these analyses, enabling readers to make broad life predictions and annual forecasts. It includes practical examples and a model horoscope to illustrate the application of this methodology. By integrating traditional astrological principles with a systematic framework, Rayudu's work serves as a valuable resource for students and practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of horoscope interpretation.
