Best Vedic astrology books

Astrology has been my passion as well as a hobby since early teenage and I used to collect a lot of books on astrology and I still do for the sake of my passion and love of reading. I have a lot of astrology books in my collection and will write about a few best vedic astrology books in my collection. Each book on astrology is an interesting read as it teaches a lot about different styles and approach of astrologers towards interpreting a horoscope. Every astrologer has to develop his own style over years with his own experience as the style of other astrologers will not work for him. This is the uniqueness of astrology, I have always got this advice from the best of the astrologers, they all advice you to develop your own style of interpreting and predicting horoscopes. The books will only teach you the basics but no book in the world can teach you how to predict which is something you develop on your own with your sadhana, experience and continuous learning of astrology.
