From the Preface:

"There are five unique attributes of this text.  First, it is a reference work of important significations of planets, signs and nakshatras, or stars, not to be found elsewhere.  Particular mention must be made to full ten pages of naksatra tables containing more information the naksatras then any other source available to date.  Second, all of the fundamental principles necessary for any study of astrology are explained with such depth and clarity that the advanced astrologer is sure to gain a new depth of knowledge, and the beginning student will be able to avoid the seeming contradictions that only a partial understanding will result in.  Third, chapters deoted to Saturn and the Nodes of the Moon, Rahu and Ketu, which provides a detailed understanding of these shadowy and elusive planets.  Fourth, clear and concise, step-by-step instruction for applying all the fundamental principles to judging the horoscope as well as to the planetary periods used for timing events.  Fifth, chapters on the Outer Planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, and Tajika aspects, which are similar to the aspects used by Western Astrologers, assist the Western Astrologer in making the transition to Vedic Astrology..."
