Brihat Jataka

One of the five principal works of the great astronomer-astrologer Varahamihira. A concise but highly authoritative classical text on natal horoscopy (Jataka), covering zodiacal definitions, planetary natures, time of conception, longevity, dasha systems, Ashtakavarga, yogas (Nabhasa, lunar, ascetic, Raja), planets in signs and houses, female horoscopy, death, and Drekkanas. Remarkable for its terse, aphoristic style and systematic coverage.
