Comment: For each of the 12 chapters on houses, the author describes the lord of the house in various other houses, gives specific yogas for the house, notes unique characteristics of the house. Part B, on mundane astrology, runs a mere 30 pages, but is an excellent overview of the subject, I am eager for more. (I've begged western authors for a new treatise on mundane, to no avail. Looks like the Indians will beat them - again.)

In his foreword, K.N. Rao writes, A book that should come out now with so many people knowing astrology has to be an advanced one, combining three features: yogas, dashas & transit of planets to show why what has happened or is happening had to happen. It is not an easy task even if the scheme of the book is to cover all the 12 houses of a horoscope & show it.... All this became possible because for years now Shri Mehta has been studying, writing & teaching scores of students....
