A review in
The Hindustan Times
"Accurate Predictive Methodology"

If you are one who’s constantly taken for a ride by astrologers, palmists, numerologists and others of this ilk, this is one book for you.

A protagonist of the Nadi system, the author claims it is the most accurate because it places emphasis on the sign and the nakshatras, which are further sub-divided into unequal ‘sub lords’. 

He then provides us with step-by-step directions for casting horoscopes and making accurate predictions, complete with listings of the characteristics of planets, signs and houses, and separate chapters on the significance of the many possible combinations of houses and planets with regard to education, litigation, property, health, and even our chances of becoming good astrologers!

To help readers along, Taneja uses two horoscopes in each chapter to enable us to understand how the system should be applied. The chapter on accidental deaths, for instance, has Sanjay Gandhi’s horoscope, and the one on corporate astrology uses Kumarmangalam Birla’s.

Though the book does not belong to the all-you-ever-wanted-to-know-and-were-afraid-to-ask genre, it should be of interest to amateur astrologers and those who have toyed with the idea of working out their own horoscopes. Taneja ends his introduction with this rather telling quote from Thomas Kepler: “Forty per cent of worries never happen; 30 per cent are about pleasing everybody; 10 per cent are about health, but we aren’t doctors; 12 per cent “water” above the "dam", thus only 8 per cent could be helpful. Hence don’t worry!” Keep this thought in the back of your mind as you delve into this book.
