Mark,

I don't wish to offend you but I find your mails like these too general, sound

more like 'finance for non-finance people' articles. It will be nice to read

specific contributions either a case study or a principle that can be applied!

Regards

Ramesh

2-[vedic astrology] & Chandrashekhar....2/5....re......Extremely confused about

a basic astrology questionDear Chandrashekhar & All:I'd like to share one

particular though in regards to studying Jyotish.Jyotish is as complex as the

Universe.In other words, it can be that complex. But, I'd suggest you approach

inmore simple ways, especially in the beginning.That way you develop a firm,

solid foundation and don't get yourself allconfused.It reminds me of when I

used to study Mathemathics. Math, is extremelycomples too. But, I learned

when I was very yound to just take it step at atime and as I really mastered

the first step...then move into the next.Now, when studying Jyotish, another

thing I'd recomend...and that is tofirst start from what you know.Especially at

the beginning, what we know re. Jyotish is the least, but whatwe do know is

something about ourselves...So, I recomend to people, to first make an

exchaustive, very detailed listof what you know about yourself...Your

qualities, tendencies,characteristics...then branch off into your relationships

with others...how many brothers and sisters you have...what kinds of subjects

did you like in school...what kind of career are you in...whatever...and

everything...this is who you are!And if you study your jyotish from this point

of view...you'll more easilyfind the literal '1 to 1 correspondence' between

you...and your jyotish..then as you get more and more 'sure' of your jyotish,

you'll be able tobranch out into this advanced or that advanced topic.hope this

helps...ciaoSincerely,Mark KincaidPS....I don't know if you've heard, but I also

write a Jyotish newsletter.It includes a daily, Transits newsletter as well as

other aspects of Jyotishas well. If you, or anyone else in this group is

interested, insubscribing, feel free to contact me personally at:
