RECOMMENDED FOUNDATION COURSE BOOKS
PRIMERS I. - CONTEMPORARY BOOKS/AUTHORS
(beginner's stage of study)
Vedic Astrology by Narasimha Rao (freely downloadable)
http://www.vedicastrologer.org/articles/vedic_astro_textbook.pdf
Astrology of the Seers by Dr David Frawley & his correspondence course
Light on Life by Hart Defouw & Svoboda
Greatness of Saturn by Robert Svoboda
Nakshatras by Dennis Harness
Levacy’s books
http://www.21stbooks.com/topten/michael_laughrin_jb.html
PRE-COURSE READING could include:-
1. First few chapters of "Astrology of the Seers" by David Frawley on the philosophy of vedic astrology as well as an introduction to the Planets. "The Greatness of Saturn" by Robert Svabhoda also has an interesting account of the 9 planets and the Indian mythology around planets.
2. Three chapters of Linda Goodman's book "Sun signs" or Robin MacNaughton's "Power Astrology" read according to vedic positions of students Sun, Moon & Ascendant to familiarise with and "feel" their OWN signs of zodiac before starting an introduction course to astrology. Bepin Behari's books are very good for a deeper esoteric understanding of the signs and Nakshatras.
3. Introduction to "Nakshatras" by Dennis Harness
PRIMERS II. - ANCIENT CLASSIC TEXTS of the SEER RISHIS
(intermediate stage of study)

BOOKS & WEB SITES CATEGORISED FOR ALL 14 COMPONENTS OF SYLLABUS …
Can list suggested reading for specializing on topics within syllabus components using western & vedic authors (such as Dane Rudhyar, Robert Hand, Liz Greene etc. of western astrology vs Charak, Sanjay Rath, Desin, Behari, Rao of vedic astrology). Books can be thus fall under the following;
1. Signs 2. Planets 3. Houses …. 4. Aspects 5. Yogas 6. Strength etc... 14.Remedials
It would be great if a metaphysical library could be manifested to house Jyotish books with books divided into these above sections, as well as house other books on divination such as sacred geometry, palmistry, vastu, ayurveda, healing etc...
Books could be stacked on 7 level shelves according to the 7 chakras (refer to APPENDIX 7 on "Chakrapedia" at end of this post) with the bottom shelf corresponding to books related to finances (ie. market astrology = dollars = survival = base chakra) and the top shelf to advaita (crown chakra).

Future Projects Listed
a) As above; developing a useful collection of suggested websites, books and pre-reading for the group (into categories of authors as well as topics).
b) Developing a venue for housing metaphysical books, library and roof top star-gazing (with membership paying the rent)
c) Starting a statistical research group using sample longitudinal studies with a regression/correlation approach and outcome measures
d) A proposal for using jyotish to create a more effective dating/marriage social net-working site (ie. the 5 C's recommended at the end of this post).
e) A financial (Muhurtam) package based on astrological programming (correlating market forces to astrological indicators and individualised investments)
f) Integrating Samudrika (other aspects of Indian divination such as palmistry) with Yogasathra, Ayurveda, Vastu as well as other parallels in other cultures (ie. Chinese systems etc.) leading to Adavita
g) Correlating and integrating cultural mythologies and languages (Indo-European, Greek, Roman, Hindu, Arabic & Chinese) to the astronomical constellations of the milky way and hemispheres, and to the natal charts (ie. planetary positions in Rasi, Navamsa, Nakshatra & degree stellar constellations; see
http://www.constellationsofwords.com/Fixedstars.htm & http://www.astrologycom.com/fixedstars.html . Note: Need to subtract Ayanamsa to derive Sidereal Vedic positions of planets
i) Researching Time Cycles & Indian Yuga Theories with the Theosophical (7 Rays) New Age Predictions of 2012-13; the Vedic Nakshatras and constellations connection to the 7 Ray theories. The Galactic Centre of the winter solstice of the tropical zodiac is entering Sagitarius Moola Nakshatra. Sends energy to the Pleadies(Taurus)/Kriticca Nakshatra, then to the Great Bear of Ursha Major/Saptarishi, then to Sirius Shamballa/Ardra Nakshatra in Gemini, to the Solar Logi Sanat Kumara/Aswini Nakshatra to the 7 Ascended Masters, to Humanity/Earth Note: according to New Age theories, our solar system rotates around Sirius which we are approaching from Pleadies and entering a galactic photon belt when our Sun, Sirius and the Galactic Centre will be in alignment on the 21st December 2012. The milky way (Siva-Sakti) axis lies 180 degrees between the Scorpio/Sagittarius (Muldhara chakra) and Taurus/Gemini (Crown chakra) where the nodes in natal vedic astrology are exalted and whose Nakshatra they govern (Moola/Kethu/Sagittarius and Adra/Rahu/Gemini).
Perhaps the "serpens" cosmic kundalini constellation in Scorpio/Sagitarius, via Hercules in the Northern Hemisphere, to Draco/Nodes around the pole stars, connects everything through Vega/Abhijit, the Vishnu Nakshatra, in Capricorn. The group could research this with consideration for Yuga time cycles.
Interestingly, the Chinese Zodiac follows the cycle of Jupiter with the 1st sign the Rat (Jupiter in Sagittarius), Vedic Astrology, the Moon with the 1st Nakshatra Krittica/Pleadies and the Western zodiac, the Sun with Aries/Ashwini the 1st sign and 1st house.
Perhaps, this reflects the Causal/Galactic (Sagittarius) to Astral (Moon's exaltation in Pleadies) to Physical levels (2 Sun's and Ascendant), and also might explain the 7 ray passage of energy from Sagittarius Moola to Sirius/Sun; the cosmic light filtering down to Earth.
Hierachy of Energies
APEX CONTROLLING CENTRE (Capricorn-Abhijit Nakshatra-MahVishnu - Polaris Ursha Minor and 7 Rishis)
GALACTIC CENTRE (Sagitarius-Moola Nkashatra -Sakti) =>
GREATER CENTRAL SUN (Gemini/Sirius-Adra Nakshatra - Siva)=>
CENTRAL SUN (Alcyone-Pleadies-Kriticca Nakshatra) =>
PHYSICAL SUN of our SOLAR SYSTEM
