印占学习分享_-_如何开始学习印度占星？,占星网

选自Quora – How can I get started with Vedic astrology? What are the very basic books to get started and professional ones to learn Nadi at last?

有道机翻，如有不顺，请自行理解，感谢高科技带给我们的便利~

啃BPHS之余，一起夯实占星基础啊~希望能遇到也在学习研究的你，分享你们的感悟和案例给我哈，那将是无上的荣耀o(*￣▽￣*)ブ有什么想看的主题也可以私信我，感谢求知若渴的泥萌~

这篇文章给了一个很不错的学习路径（思维导图附在文末~），分享给所有和我一样，正在学习和想要学习印度占星的大小朋友们~那么这么多书一定要按照顺序阅读吗？我的建议是，不要拘泥于顺序，可以选择自己最感兴趣的部分优先阅读，兴趣一向是最好的老师，如果有读不懂的地方，再补充就好~

It is the first time I have seen someone ask such a genuine and structured question of how to get started and reach the professional level of astrology. I really hope you complete your journey and wish you luck.

这是我第一次看到有人问这样一个真诚而有条理的问题，如何开始并达到占星术的专业水平。我真的希望你完成你的旅程，祝你好运。

Start with the books of mathematics written in easy ways. It is absolutely a crime to venture into predictive astrology without no practical knowledge of the basic calculations. Often, when we begin with the lack of basic understanding, we end up making stupid extrapolations and assumptions to suit our ignorance. That is the first pit in which any learner of astrology falls. Either people make up their own explanations which are utterly wrong, or they get so confused that they give up completely.

从用简单方法写的数学书开始。在没有基本计算的实际知识的情况下，冒险研究预测占星术绝对是一种犯罪。通常，当我们开始缺乏基本的理解时，我们最终会做出愚蠢的推断和假设，以适应我们的无知。这是任何占星术学习者都会掉进去的第一个坑。人们要么编造出自己完全错误的解释，要么就会感到困惑而完全放弃。

Before even going into astrology, learn the planets in their mythological roles. That is extremely important and will make it pretty easy to memorize the functions and roles of the planets. The first book I would suggest is Navgraha Purana by V S Rao. It is not actually a Purana but a story book. It compiles the stories about the planets from different mythological texts into one single book written as a story. It is interesting to read, simple and much like any novel.

在学习占星术之前，先了解行星在神话中的角色。这是非常重要的，它会让你很容易记住行星的功能和角色。我推荐的第一本书是V S Rao的Navgraha Purana。它实际上不是一本《创世记》，而是一本故事书。它将不同神话文本中关于行星的故事汇编成一本书，以故事的形式写成。它读起来很有趣，简单，就像任何小说一样。

（大家小时候应该看过《美少女战士》吧，我是不是暴露年龄了，感觉作者照着占星来刻画人物个性呢~月野兔代表的月亮，水火木星对应的水野亚美、火野丽、木野真琴，以及水手V，也就是水手金星对应爱野美奈子……动漫能帮大家拟人化的了解星星，但是不要刻板印象哦~）

So, first advice is to begin with a book on Siddhanta. The mathematical aspects of astrology. There are two which I absolutely love. First is B V Raman’s A Manual of Hindu Astrology (1935), and the second is B. Suryanarain Rao’s The Astrological Self Instructor (1893).

所以，第一个建议是从一本关于Siddhanta的书开始。占星术的数学方面。其中有两个我非常喜欢。第一本是B V Raman的《A Manual of Hindu Astrology》(1935)，第二本是B. Suryanarain Rao的《The Astrological Self Instructor》(1893)。

Thereafter, move on to Sripati Paddhati to understand houses, calculation of houses, and all the mathematical aspects of a horoscope. The first two books I mentioned talk about the planets, their speed, ayanamsha, division of time in astrology etc. This book describes how houses are different from signs and how we can caculate them. What is a cusp and other technical points used in the actual analysis of the horoscope.

之后，继续学习Sripati Paddhati，了解宫位、宫位的计算和星座的所有数学方面。我提到的前两本书是关于行星，它们的速度，ayanamsha，占星术中的时间划分等。这本书描述了宫位与星座的区别以及我们如何计算它们。什么是占星术实际分析中用到的宫头和其他技术点。

Next, there are seven great books to begin astrology with. The actual predictive one. These have been translated numerous times and are commonly available. These are:

接下来，有七本著名的书籍来开始占星术。真正的预测。这些书已经被翻译了很多次，而且很常见。这些都是:

1. Brihat Jataka of Varahmihira
2. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra of Parashara
3. Hora Sara of Prithyuyasas
4. Jataka Parijata of Vaidyanath
5. Phaladeepika of Mantreswara
6. Uttara Kalamrita of Kalidasa
7. Saravali of Kalyana Varma

These are basically the same things written by different authors. Much like reference books for the same subject. If you read one in depth, you’ll be able to skim through the others in hours. Just focus on the differences and additional details given in them.

这些基本上是不同作者写的相同的东西。很像同一学科的参考书。如果你深入阅读一本书，你就能在几个小时内浏览其他几本书。只关注它们的区别和额外的细节。

我目前在啃的BPHS，就是第二本，(●'?'●)

Once you have done this, you should move on to the broader horizon of astrology. About the mundane aspects and overall analysis of years, days, events, muhurat etc. The books are:

一旦你做到了这一点，你就应该转向更广阔的占星术领域。关于世俗的方面和对年、日、事件、muhurat等的全面分析。这些书是:

1. Muhurat by B V Raman (for starter)
2. Narada Samhita of Mahamuni Narada
3. Brihat Samhita of Varahmihir
4. Purva Kalamrita of Kalidasa

These again are mostly same but skimming through all makes it easy to learn and memorize. Brihat Samhita is the primary text book for in-depth understanding. Muhurat by B V Raman is your go to book for all clarifications and for basic understanding.

这些基本都是一样的，但是浏览它们会让你更容易学习和记忆。Brihat Samhita是深入理解的主要教科书。B V Raman的Muhurat是你的书的所有澄清和基本理解。

Now, for the practical aspect of predictions and to understand how exactly to give out predictions, use B V Raman’s books. He has beautifully shown how things work in reality. If you do not have a guru or a teacher, consider him to be your teacher and follow everything he has written. There is no other author you can blindly trust but B V Raman. The books that help in the practical aspects are:

现在，关于预测的实际方面以及如何准确地给出预测，请参考B V Raman的书。他完美地展示了事物在现实中的运作方式。如果你没有导师或老师，就把他当作你的老师，遵循他所写的一切。除了B V Raman，没有其他作家可以盲目信任。在实践方面有帮助的书有:

1. How to Judge a horoscope (Vol 1 & 2)
2. Notable Horoscopes
3. 300 Important Combinations
4. The Art of Prediction (This one is by J N Bhasin not Raman)
5. There is also a book by R Santhanam on how to judge horoscopes, but I cant remember the name.

If you complete these honestly, take my word you’ll be better than 70% of Indian astrologers even on your worst day.

如果你诚实地完成这些，相信我，你将比70%的印度占星家更好，即使在你最糟糕的一天。

Now, as for the advanced astrology, the following books are recommended. But fair warning, these will be pointless and senseless if you haven’t covered the above ones. Even if you read and remember the below books, they won’t give results. The books are written as sutras or codes. What exactly do they say can only be deciphered after perfecting the above books. Only Prashna Shastra is something that will make sense even if you haven’t honestly covered all aspects of astrology above.

现在，关于高级占星术，推荐以下书籍。但我要警告你的是，如果你没有学习以上的知识，这些都是毫无意义的。即使你阅读并记住了下面的书，它们也不会给你结果。这些书被写成佛经或法典。他们到底说了什么，只有在完善了上述书籍之后才能破译。只有Prashna Shastra是有意义的，即使你没有诚实地涵盖占星术的所有方面。

Prashna Shastra (Art of Predictions by making any random horoscope):

Prashna Shastra(随机占卜的艺术):

1. Prashna Tantra
2. Prashna Marga
3. Bhuvan Deepika

Advanced astrology:

高级占星学:

1. Jaimini Sutram
2. Tajik Neelkanthi
3. Lal Kitab (original in 3 volumes)

Swara Shastra (Predictions through analysis of Breath and sound):

Swara Shastra(通过分析呼吸和声音进行预测):

1. Swara Chintamani
2. Narpati Jaicharyaswarodaya

It is said that an astrologer learned in Swara Shastra is the most valuable gem in any king’s court. That a king cannot win a critical war despite advantage in strategy, numbers, technology or anything if an astrologer learned in Swara Shastra is with the opponent’s side. It is one of the highest forms of divination and extremely difficult to get the hang of. Which is why you may not even find authentic translations or any commentaries as well.

据说占星家在Swara Shastra学到的是任何国王宫廷中最珍贵的宝石。如果占星家在Swara Shastra学会了站在对手一边，国王即使在战略、人数、技术等方面拥有优势，也无法赢得关键的战争。它是占卜的最高形式之一，很难掌握窍门。这就是为什么你甚至可能找不到真实的翻译或任何评论。

Nadi Astrology:

Texts of Nadi astrology are far too many to enumerate. But all of them end with the word Nadi. No matter which Nadi book you pick up, if you can understand it and practice it, you will become ten times as better as you were before starting.

纳迪占星术的文本太多，无法一一列举。但它们都以Nadi结尾。无论你拿起哪本Nadi书，如果你能理解它并练习它，你会比开始前好十倍。

This is the absolute perfection of astrology but just as difficult to understand. Word by word, the entire book needs to be broken down and understood through experience. But these are the only texts in which each and every word will make sense and come true every time it is tested.

这是占星术的绝对完美，但同样难以理解。整本书需要逐字逐句地分解，并通过经验来理解。但只有在这些文本中，每一个单词都是有意义的，而且每次经过检验都是真实的。

Other than these, there are thousands and thousands of texts, rare and valuable ones that cannot be described in one answer. However, I’ll give a few honorable mentioned in the end. Ideally, an astrologer should go through all or most of them. But it is difficult to even get your hands on them. It may take a man’s entire life to just get hold of one of these in its unadulterated, and original form.

除此之外，还有成千上万的文本，稀有而有价值的文本不能用一个答案来描述。不过，我还是会在最后给出一些值得尊敬的例子。理想情况下，占星家应该浏览全部或大部分。但你甚至很难得到它们。一个人可能要花上一生的时间，才能得到一件原汁原味的。

Ravan Samhita:

Almost impossible to get, this is one of the greatest works ever written on astrology. A few of the concepts that I know from Ravan Samhita are such magnificent tools that it will almost be a heart attack if I get a chance to go through the actual book.

几乎不可能得到，这是有史以来最伟大的占星术著作之一。我从Ravan Samhita中学到的一些概念是如此伟大的工具，如果我有机会通读这本书，我几乎会犯心脏病。

Dhundiraj’s work on astrology:

Maharaja Dhundiraj is said to be an avatar of Lord Ganesh who visited Kashi as an astrology to teach King Ripunjaya the value of devotion. The work of Dhundiraj on astrology is such an amazing one that I cannot begin to describe it. It gives about great insights in astrology and gives such a process that can open doors to numerous possibilities. But again, the work is not conceptual. It would need a lot of knowledge to decipher the theory behind what the book says.

Maharaja Dhundiraj据说是Ganesh神的化身，他作为占星师来到喀什教Ripunjaya国王奉献的价值。Dhundiraj在占星术方面的工作是如此惊人，我无法开始描述它。它提供了占星术的伟大见解，并提供了一个可以打开无数可能性之门的过程。但是，这个作品不是概念性的。要破译这本书背后的理论需要大量的知识。

Abdul Rahim Khan-I-khana’s Masterpiece:

The maestro poet Rahim was also an astrologer! He has a book on astrology with just a hundred verses or so. I would describe it with just one doha of the book, I am not sure if I remember it word for word, but this is what is says.

伟大的诗人Rahim也是一个占星家!他有一本关于占星术的书，只有大约一百节诗。我会用这本书的一个多哈来描述它，我不确定我是否一个字一个字地记住它，但这是它说的。

Kya jyotish dekhega kya jyotish kahega;

paida hua balak baadshashi karega!

(No matter what on earth the astrologer has to say, the child born with such a combination will be a King throughout his life)

(无论占星家说什么，有这种组合出生的孩子将终生为王)

Rahu Centric Theory by Sri Tatvam Asi:

This may be read earlier or later, you will be able to appreciate it earlier while learning astrology too. But if you go through it towards the end of your journey in learning astrology, a major secret would be revealed. A huge mystery would be resolved.

这篇文章可以早读或晚读，你也可以在学习占星术的时候更早地欣赏它。但是，如果你在学习占星术的旅程的最后进行这一研究，一个重要的秘密就会被揭示出来。一个巨大的谜团将被解开。

There is no end to learning, and we should keep reading no matter how much we know. But still, a structure always helps a learner.

学无止境，无论我们知道多少，我们都应该坚持阅读。但是，结构总是对学习者有帮助的。

Hope it helps
