PrefaceIt is well-known that the Vedang Jyotisha (Astrology) is held in high esteem in India. No activity in India be social, political, religious would be performed without consulting Jyotishacharya. The veracity of Jyotisha has been severally tested by the ancient sages with their experience and penance of several centuries. This remarkable science in which most of the men all over the world implicit faith, has been handed down in India from time immemorial. In India, the Vedas which are the oldest records of human civilization contain innumerable references to Nakshatras, Seasons, Years, Months, the Sun, the Moon, etc. Generally, this science jyotisha” is classified into three categories viz., Hora, Siddhant, and Samhita. There are a number of classical texts available in India in all these branches of Jyotisha. In Indian culture, the place of women is held in high esteem. It is firmly believed that the support of the woman is crucial in the success of the man. Hence much importance is given to the qualities of a woman. The natal chart (the Horoscope) is being intensively studied before the marriage. Though the results of the planetary combinations at the birth are the same irrespective that of a man or woman, there was some difference found in respect of women in some cases. Therefore a separate chapter “Strijatakam” could be found in all classical Jyotisha texts where the results of different planetary combinations are elaborately discussed basing on the time of the birth of the woman. It is very glad that Guru Dr. Jitendra Vyas, the blogger, Columnist, the author/editor of more than ten Jyotisha manuscripts/books at such a young age and a renowned practicing astrologer has translated/edited the text “Strijatakam” to English. it is well-known that the brevity of a vast subject reflects the scholarship of an author. It is no doubt that this English translation reveals the head and the heart of the original Sanskrit text.
