His managerial background has enabled him to use modern communicative skills in so systematic a manner that the comprehension of predictive techniques has been greatly simplified. His book, "Self Learning Course in Astrology" makes learning of the "Systems' Approach" methodology a simple step- Choudhry by-step process and has proved to be of great help to both the serious students as well as the practitioners still plagued by the confusing inconsistencies in the classical texts.

There has been a large number of students studying astrology courses with various institutions across the world in the last few years. These courses are run on the basis of the classics of Vedic astrology and the books written by modem authors based on the classical literature. Most of the time the teachers who are still plagued by their own confusions and contradictions in the classical literature, do not reply to the questions raised by the students.

In many cases even after studying for six to eight years and spending a valuable amount of time of their lives the people still do not understand how to make predictions and how to read planetary influences in an unambiguous manner. We were not surprised when some students narrated such a situation.

Such students fail to develop confidence as they are intelligent enough to know and understand that their knowledge is not complete and they do not wish to offer misleading advice. Some of those who are in the same situation of confusion derive their confidence based on the time spent by them in study and the number of years they have used up in learning one after another of the courses. These students come to the same understanding after a few years when they are faced with failures of their predictions brought to their notice by the people who had consulted them.

Systems' Approach is a predictive methodology which is easily learnt by those who are desirous of developing the predictive method of competence. The crux of the matter is that we have to understand what the true functional nature of a planet is in a natal chart; meaning whether it is benefice or it is malefic. Then we have to understand what the strengths are of the planets; meaning whether they are strong or weak. The identification of planetary strengths is also a significant and distinct principle of Systems, Approach. The strong planets are generally able to bless the natives with their general significations and the significations of the mooltrikona sign house ruled by them in the horoscope. The weak planets, whether functional benefice planets or functional malefic planets, are the causes of problems in one's life generated through delays and less than expected levels of achievements. Then comes the planets which are under the close influence of the functional malefic planets and the planets which are placed in malefic houses from the ascendant. Such weak and afflicted planets are the causes of serious problems in life. Then comes the decision as to whether the planetary influences in a birth chart are analyzed through the ascendant or the Moon sign. The identification of planetary influences and identification of the functional nature of planets on the basis of ascendant is the right approach. Study of planetary influences through the Moon sign is always misleading and is the cause of most of the confusions and contradictions in the study of planetary influences. It brings failures in predictions.

The students who are learning now or who have already spent a number of years without any confidence and rational approach for prediction are welcome here to understand Systems' Approach Astrology and its predictive method in a short span of four to six months.

Here in this book we are taking up the predictive methodology, predictive techniques and the method for handling questions from the people seeking astrological advice. The remedial measures in astrology are the crux of the benefits of astrology.

We sincerely hope that this book will help the readers of all categories including those who are new to Systems' Approach. This book will even help the Systems' Approach astrologers and those who are learning through Systems' Approach with the methodology of handling astrological queries. Reading this book with patience answers most of the questions of the learners and advance students of astrology. The readers can have free access to lessons on our web site (www.YourNetAstrologer.com) for learning the basic concepts of Systems' Approach. Even studying the first ten lessons on the website gives a good understanding into the analysis of planetary influences.

Readers will find this book useful. One chapter has been included in this book for identifying the important aspects of each ascendant which are helpful both for analysis of planetary influences and the foundation of advice.
