Kaali Daas
--Jyotirvid Aabharan - Jyotirvid Aabharan is the only text which indicates that Raghuvansh, Kumaarsambhav and Meghdoot were written by Kaali Daas, not
    stated in those texts themselves. The 3 epics are being taught as Kaali Daas work on that basis only for 2000 years with commentaries by Malla Naath etc.

Kevin Burk. 
--Understanding the Birth Chart.

Lagadh (1st Century BC)
--Vedaang Jyotish (1st century BC)

PS Sastri
--Rectification of Birth Time - An analytical approach - Not only highlighted ancient techniques, but also provided a practical method of progression and
    direction.

Paraashar
--Paraashar Horaa Shaastra (BPHS) - Bhrigu Sanhitaa and Naadee Granth should be treated as its Appedices. It is not invention of Paraashar, he clearly
    mentioned in initial verses of second part of BPHS that he merely repeated what the earlier sages had said

R Santhanam
--A chapter on Rectification of Birth Time, in Essentials of Predictive Hindu Astrology - dedicated a chapter on Rectification in his widely acclaimed
    book, "Essentials of Predictive Hindu Astrology".

Ramadeen Daivagya. 
--Brihat Daivajna Ranjan - Is an excellent book on astrology written in 19th century, that provides us with numerous quotes from ancient Rishi Horaa some of them
    available and many are lost. Just like the excellent authentic texts of North Indian origin like Hora Ratna and Muhoort Chintaamani I love this text as well. This text is
    a treasure house. A quote by Sage Romak that refers to Taajik system of astrology can be found in this text.

SK Mehta
He has been termed as The Guaranteed Astrologer - as he use to guarantee that his prediction will not go wrong. Read his books (search them on Google - only 3 books are written by him.

Sanjaya Rath
--Naaraayan Dashaa

Shaunak
--Shaunakeeya Vivaah Paataal - is ePublished. This is one of the oldest available ancient Indian astrology books which dates back to 3rd century BC. A4 Size. 108
    pages. eBook price : Rs.250/- ($5). The book contain Sanskrit Shlok along with translation and commentary and are co-authored by Veneet Kumar and Sreenadh OG,
    and contain rare info that you won't find anywhere else.

Shiv and Gauree
--Shiv Gauree Jaatak - ePublished by AIAF. Order Your copies at sreesog@yahoo.com  Rs.200/- ($4) This school of thought considers Shiv as the originator of astrology. As per them Shiv taught this branch of knowledge to goddess Paarvatee and she taught others. Texts such as Shiv Jataak, Gauree Jataka, Jyotisharnav Navaneetam, Shambhoo Horaa Prakaash etc. are the available books of this tradition.
Shiv Jaatak - written as conversation between Shiv and Paarvatee. Paarvatee asks and Shiv replies.
Gauree Jaatak - written as in the form of Gauree’s (Paarvatee’s) teaching to the world, based on things she learned from Shiv.
Jyotisharnav Navaneetam - written in the form of a conversation between Shiv and Paarvatee. Paarvatee asks and Shiv replies.
Shambhoo Horaa Prakaash - a treatise by a scholar named Punjaraja to please a king named ‘Shambhoo’ (of Maalavaa kingdom), based on the teachings of Shiv-Paarvatee, the earlier sages and the later day scholars. It is based on Som Siddhaant which was told by Shiv to Durgaa. The other is the Brahmaa Siddhaant which was created by Brahmaa. The third was spoken by Soorya and is known as Saur (or Soorya) Siddhaant. Vaasishth, Paulish, Lomash and Paaraasarya Siddhaant (are other Siddhaant) which are named after the relevant Aachaarya. These are said to be the seven Siddhaant and are filled with explicit and implicit secret teachings.

1. In almost every quote Shiv Jaatak presents something new that is not found anywhere else.
2. Shiv Jaatak is probably first text of Shiv School of astrology, or at least brings the fragrance of the ancient ‘Shiv School of Astrology’ to us.
3. It does not repeat the once told things, but instead presents something new, and thus has freshness in perspective.
4. It is praised even by texts like BPHS, when it comes to the excellent Dashaa systems like ‘Vinshottaree Dashaa’ or the time tested principles related to ‘Baal Arisht’ (child longevity).
5. A text attributed to Shiv, who is also worshiped in the form of ‘Dakshinamoorti’ the spiritual teacher to the enlightened souls, the teacher of everything, the Taantrik deity of teaching similar to Saraswatee (Shaaradaa).

Shreepati (11th century AD)
No scholar before Shreepati (11th century) has ever spoken about Houses as different from Signs.

Varaah Mihir (some say that he was in the 1st century BC, some say he was in 6th century AD)
--Brihat Jaatak - the book was published by Sagar Publishers with the translation of HK Tite and is available at 
    http://shopping.shreevedic.com/newshree/Hora%20Makarand
. He did  not depend on one work like Horaa Makarand by Gunaakar to
    prepare Jaatak.  Brihat Jaatak is more in depth, complex, multi-meaning, based on previous Rishi Horaa. On reading both the books it will  become well evident that Horaa
    Makarand was written based on Brihat Jaatak and that it is not the other way round. This is impossible if Gunaakar lived in 6th century BC and Mihir lived in 1st century BC.

--Brihat Sanhitaa (6th century AD)

--Hora Shastra - Good to start with.
--Laghu Vivaaah Paataal - is ePublished. This is an excellent work Varaah Mihir of 6th century AD, which remained unpublished till date with a proper translation and commentary. A4 Size. 52 pages. eBook price : Rs.150/- ($3). The book contain Sanskrit Shlok along with translation and commentary and are co-authored by Veneet Kumar and Sreenadh OG, and contain rare info that you won't find anywhere else.
