Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Dear Anshul, Further to what I wrote- When You study through books advantages are many,for ex, You get to read various authors, You can read when You like,You may stop when You like, topics of your interest in astrology can be picked up whether beginners or higher learners, You may choose. Regardless of these advantages and many others still there is a problem, Your focus is not there. You tend to get un-serious about the whole thing, You may read today, then again pick up the book after one week. This causes waste of time, having to pick up the shreds where last left. You also tend to jump to more interesting topics which should come later in Your study. The boring ones but which may be helpful,You tend to skip.Also no exams are there so You are not really sure where have you reached. Mathematical part I feel is as important as predective part, because though we are in the age of computers, we should know how a horoscope is made, how certain changes occur, where will these changes effect etc. Once You know this then its okay You concentrate on the predictive part because then the computer will supplement your knowledge and not vice-versa. So loss of seriousness, focus and time waste occurs when You study at home.But again this is a generalised statement. Anshul start reading from books and as said join a class when U r able to. Bye.
