Comment: For each of the chapters on planets in the houses, the book additionally gives the meaning of all two-planet conjunctions, eg, Sun & Jupiter in the second, Sun & Saturn in the second, Sun & Ketu in the second, etc. This book brings up the 6:8 relationship: A planet six houses away from another planet is also 8 houses back to it. Eg, Sun in first, Mars in 6th: Sun to Mars is 6 houses, Mars back to the Sun is 8. This is said to be malefic. This is a massive book. It has by far the best descriptions of planets in houses of any Vedic book I have ever read. The authors seem to base their work on actual observation. They note when observation confirms or contradicts traditional astrological belief. Rupa & Co., 837 pages.

This might be Santhanam's first published translation. In various places I wished I could read Sanskrit, or that the translation was more complete. Santhanam tends to omit the name of what the sloka is referring to, leaving us to guess. Such as the beginning of chapter 17, on Ashtakavarga. Santhanam gives the values of the dots, but only Sanskrit for what the dots are for. We might presume the first section is Sun, the second for the Moon, etc., but for each, there are eight divisions. For those of you who know Sanskrit, or who are determined. Ranjan, 333 pages, hardcover.

Horary elemental astrology (Panchapakshi Arooda through stars) 15. Panchapakshi & sexology Comment: All births can be catagorized as one of five birds, based on nakshatra of the birth star & if the moon at the time was waxing or waning. The five birds are, Vulture, Owl, Crow, Cock & Peacock. Each bird has one of five daily activities, according to the cycle: Eating (subsistence), walking (work), ruling (ie, in command), sleeping (rest) or death (inactivity). Each day is divided into five divisions of 2 hours 24 minutes. The night has the same divisions. [This only works in equatorial areas. For more northerly climes, you must use sunrise & sunset times & do the math.] When you put it all together, the result is something like this: On Saturdays: 1. During the first main period, The Owl eats, the Vulture rules, the Peacock dies, the Cock walks & the Crow sleeps 2. During the second main period, The Crow eats, the Owl rules, the Vulture dies, the Peacock walks & the Crow sleeps 3. During the third main period, The Cock eats, the Crow rules, the Owl dies, the Vulture walks & the Peacock sleeps 4. During the fourth main period, The Peacock eats, the Cock rules, the Crow dies, the Owl walks & the Vulture sleeps 5. During the fifth main period, The Vulture eats, the Peacock rules, the Cock dies, the Crow walks & the Owl sleeps. (from pgs. 44-45) Which can be useful to know. Pgs. 135-184 give weekly tables for all five birds, for each day of the week, hour by hour. Starting with chapter 7, practical advice is given for specific questions. Which brings us to chapter 15, on Sexology. The premise of this chapter is that men are subjective & want it all the time, whereas women are objective & need a good reason. Panch Pakshi is the means whereby touch can supply the necessary reason. If you know the woman's bird, and if you know the hour, then if you but touch the proper part of her body (back of hand, neck, chest, ankle, head, etc.), and if she is your wife or girlfriend, she will instantly submit & the resulting sex will be really, really, REALLY good. (If she is not your wife or is unknown to you, then you will DIE. Or so says the book.) Detailed tables are supplied. Having thus got your attention, the author makes the more useful observation, that knowing your bird & knowing the hour are essential prerequisites for medical treatment. The final table in the book is a list of poison points, ie, places not to touch for the various bird/hour combinations. Ranjan, 240 pages.
