About the Author Jataka Candrika is a handy pamphlet in Sanskrit and signifies "Moonlight for Astrological Sciences." It is a work of great suggestiveness and contains really valuable information necessary for a beginner. He first takes the reader through the planetary aspects, then the good and evil which accrue to planets from ownership, and then association and conjunction. He describes Raja yoga (success in life), the combinations for longevity with a summary of the results of the various planets upon the horoscopes of persons born in each of the twelve Zodiacal signs This is a small work written by Venkatesa Pandita, son of Yagnaswara Dikshitar and though short it is excellently written by him. The author expounds some of the best principles of astrology in the most concise manner possible. Sanskrit works are superior to any others in the world, in the singular fact of their being written in poetry and in a strain which enables the student to master the whole of its contents without the lightest difficulty.

Introduction Jataka Candrika is a handy pamphlet in Sanskrit and signifies "Moonlight for Astrological Sciences." It is a work of great suggestiveness and contains really valuable information necessary for a beginner. Adepts in Astrology have much food for reflection here. Prefatory remarks reconciling the principles of Astrology with those of the modern sciences will be out of place in a work of English translation and I would strongly recommend the readers to secure a copy of my Astrological Self Instructor and read the splendid scientific Introduction elaborately given by me there. They will be largely benefitted. English translations of Sanskrit works, are always poor performances as the spirit and beauty of the original language can never be adequately represented in the English tongue. Still attempts made in this direction ought not to be despised as they tend to give the readers in English some idea of the contents which, the Sanskrit book treats of. The English translation of Jataka Candrika has already been published completely in the Astrological Magazine, Vols. I and II and those who go in for those volumes will find this and many other important subjects treated of there. The notes and illustrations given in the Astrological Magazine have been carefully collected and valuable additions have been made here with a view to make them complete.
