Are you starting fresh, or do you have to unlearn tropical western astrology, or some other kind of astrology first?
BPHS is a classic text.
However, to get the most out of it, you might need some help.
Personally, I recommend 'Vault of the Heavens' by Ernst Wilhelm.
it serves very well as a blunt, straightforward introduction to most of Parashara's principles.
It's out of print, but Ernst offers an inexpensive digital edition (PDF) on his site
Good luck
BPHS - Brihat parashara hora shastra!

Thank you.But What is "BPHS"???
As explained, Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, which Jetman suggested
This text forms the bedrock of most Vedic astrology currently practiced.
You can (possibly; I don't know how strict the great Chinese firewall is) find a copy freely available online.
However, traditional texts can be somewhat dry, tricky, and inaccessible.
So I do recommend Ernst to you.
Another good resource that you may be able to access is Barbara Pijan's site;

I consider Ernst Wilhelm a brilliant innovator, and I second Moog's recommendation-however his books might be difficult for the OP to obtain, and perhaps a bit advanced for the OP as well. Easily obtainable on Amazon, and quite basic for the beginner, is
H. de Fouw's "Light on Life", which might be a good place for the OP to begin...
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra IS a fantastic work, but not really for a beginner who has no personal guidance from someone who understands how to apply what's in there.
I concur with Moog, Graha Sutras is the best option to understand the underlying principles and fundamentals.
However, the best book I've found for beginners who want cookbook recipes, would be Beneath a Vedic Sky by William Levacy. That book can get you going reading charts fast, even if you don't understand the principles!
