Due to the many confusing inconsistencies in the classical texts, V.K. Choudhry has developed the Systems' Approach for Interpreting Horoscopes (SA) to bring out the salient factors in horoscope analysis. His systematic approach has enabled students and practitioners of astrology to easily comprehend the key factors for accurate horoscope interpretation and prediction. SA is growing in popularity internationally due to its clear and simple rules and reliable results. The philosophical basis for his astrological work is to some extent the Ramayana.Controversy
As with most new ideas that challenge traditional approaches, there has been a modicum of controversy about SA among orthodox vedic astrologers. Over time SA has become increasingly accepted as a new branch of vedic astrology with better efficacy and accuracy.Awards
