Man has been inquisitive about nature right since day one of mankind. He has been trying hard to solve its mysteries and studying it quite systematically. He envisaged different branches of science to study different aspects of nature. For example Physics deals with the laws of nature, Botany and Zoology deal with flora and fauna while Geology tries to peep deep down inside the earth and so on.

Above all, there is yet another subject, which attempts to observe everything not only under the Sun but much beyond. It is Astrology. Astrology is a divine science, which probably handles everything without exception, from mini to maxi and from micro to macro. Obviously a sumptuous subject like this has to be quite complicated and so it is. Unfortunately, the research in Astrology could not be continued at the desired pace as it has been with other branches of science. Some of the so-called `intellectuals' even go to the extent of branding it as superstition.

Since time immemorial our seers and sages have tried to identify the rhythm of nature and universe and attempted to put them into the verses (shlokas) of Astrology. We are quite fortunate to have most of them inherited. But side-by-side it also entrusts us the responsibility of furthering it through research and honest hard work in order to make the laid down principles of Astrology more contemporary.

This book is a small step in this direction. Kaalchakra, the Wheel of Time moves on and on ceaselessly. It is this wheel of time only which defines hours, months, years and centuries. Seasons come and go in a cyclic order. So it is perhaps with all the events and occurrences in the cosmos. Everything has to move, rotate and revolve as per the dictates of Kaalchakra!

I have endeavoured to delve deeper into the theory of Kaalchakra and have discovered a definite and orderly flow in it. Its knowledge may be scientifically and logically applied to read out the attributes in a horoscope. I am presenting my findings in this book for the benefit of the readers and all the students of Astrology.

Needless to add that any mistakes or errors, if pointed out by the learned readers or any suggestions for the improvement in the subsequent editions will be very much solicited.

Astrology has been practiced for several centuries with varying results. The basis for making predictions in traditional astrology has been well known - the karakas of planets, the rasis, bhavas, aspects between planets, ownership etc. In addition to these, additional specific rules are also to be used and these are well known by the term yogas - there are several hundreds if not thousands of the yogas. An expert astrologer can make accurate predictions but the multiplicity of the rules can confuse the novice and uninitiated.

The Krishnamurthy Padhdhathi, or KP system as it is popularly known, developed in the 20th century was a markedly different system and the late Sri Krishnamurthy gave a new method of preparing the chart and a new set of rules for prediction. However, his rules still made use of the traditional aspects of planets. This system was further developed by Sri K. Baskaran of Madurai and his system now referred to as the KB system uses the calculation procedure of Krishnamurthy.

However, predictions are made based on the 'theory of cuspal interlinks' proposed by Sri Baskaran. This method does not use the aspects, ownerships, conjunctions, exaltations and debilitations of planets. The fundamental rules of this system are still obtained from the traditional system. However, the explanations given by Sri K.Baskaran on the basis of stars and elements for the rules of the tradition are very interesting.

The basis of traditional astrology is the Kalapurusha Thathva. The zodiac is divided into the twelve signs of 30° each and the starting point of the zodiac is 0°Aries.
