FAQ
What is the best book about Vedic astrology?
Vedic astrology is a very specific branch of astrology, different from the western interpretation. If you are interested in learning about such a specific branch, it is my recommendation that you find a personal mentor who guides you through the process and teaches you how to distinguish good and bad information, since the internet is not very reliable for this particular matter.
Can you advise the top astrology book for learning more about relationships?
Relationship compatibility is read by interpreting the birth charts of two individuals and identifying their clashing points, their challenges, and their strengths. Any book that is good for learning birth charts will help you understand other people and your relationship with them in a deeper, more meaningful way.
How to find the best book on astrology to learn more about stars?
If you want to learn about stars, you may be looking for a book on astronomy, which is the scientific study of celestial bodies and is frequently confused with astrology - the esoteric or occult study of the influence of the planetary positions in our lives.
