Astrology Books (cont.) Intermediate Astrology Books The Changing Sky Steven Forrest is at it again, this time he addresses transits and progressions. If you ever wanted to understand how to predict the energies that are ahead of you this is the perfect book. He doesn't do the normal cookbook style of teaching but teaches you how to have transits make sense. His dialogue on progressions is the clearest I have ever read. Another must have! Chiron and the Healing Journey Melanie Reinhart gives us the psychological meaning to Chiron in the signs, houses and the aspects. If you want to learn more about this amazing "planet-toid" then start here. Melanie respects the work of Liz Greene and Dane Rudhyar and it shows in her thoughtful and thorough writings. The General Principles of Astrology by Aleister Crowley. Long before there was Linda Goodman, long before astrology bestsellers turned up in supermarkets, there was Aleister Crowley, the most important astrological scholar and authority of the early 20th century. Ghostwriting for Evangeline Adams, it was Crowley who wrote the vast majority of her classic textbooks, Astrology: Your Place in the Sun (1927) and Astrology: Your Place Among the Stars (1930). General Principles of Astrology finally acknowledges Crowley's authorship. Saturn a New Look at an Old Devil Liz Greene brings profound light to the often misunderstood Saturn. She explains Saturn by house and by sign giving you a chance to understand the psychological implications it places in your life. It's revealing, in that jaw dropping kind of way that only Ms. Greene can provide. It's another "must have" book for any student or practicing astrologer. Astrology Encyclopedia James R. Lewis does an impressive job of listing over 780 terms, authors and phenomenon related to astrology. I use this book a lot, especially when I want to understand a concept more deeply. It's not just a "definition book" it's a real course in astrology that takes you deep enough to answer your questions with authoritative answers. Making the Gods Work for You Caroline W. Casey is a remarkable story teller. In this wonderful book, she intelligently weaves a story of your life, using the planets as a metaphor for the different Gods of mythology. It's witty, wise, and wonderful. If you have read all the astrology books you think you'll ever need, you haven't! Progressions This is one of the few books that I can sit and absorb without worrying that the author is going to be writing way over my head. Progressions are powerful tools for understaning the developement of our psyches but they are invaluable as a refinement for predictions. Liz Greene said that she wouldn't think of looking at transits without them. This is a great book for your collection, it's in mine! Identifying Planetary Triggers From the author Celeste Teal: "...Say you or a client want to know about romance; once you determine the condition of the fifth house indicators as outlined in Part One, you'll turn right to the Venus Return chapter to interpret and make your forecast. If you have a client who's an entrepreneur, you'll use the Mars Return to guide him or her to the best time to undertake a new venture. Or, use the Mercury Return to find a risk-free time to purchase a new vehicle. For each of the returns, you're led step by step through the interpretation and shown how to find hot spots for event timing. Aspects in Astrology This book is simply fabulous! Written by Sue Thompkins who is clearly gifted with wit and wisdom. She manages to illustrate the complexities of aspects with imagery that easily dances in your brain. Intelligent, provocative and most definitely in and out of print. Get this one while you can! How to Read Your Astrological Chart Donna Cunningham takes the fear out of interpreting a chart in this delightful, yet insightful read. This isn't a cookbook but a dialogue about how to look at the chart as a whole by zeroing in on the pieces. Great book for any astrological collection. The Astrology of Sexuality Martin Schulman's small yet easy to read books are surprisingly helpful. Perhaps it's the way he presents the obvious in a different way or it could be the way the book is set up in an easy to find reference format, whatever it is, you will appreciate his point of view in finding what makes you tick sexually! Composite Charts John Townley has taken the work on Composite Charts to the next step. Though there isn't much knowledge as to why taking the midpoints of 2 charts works, there is great supporting evidence here that it does work and many examples are used to support this widely accepted astrological process. If you want to go deeper into the study of relationships, add this book to your library. American Ephemeris for the 21st Century at Noon What astrologer can be without the definitive book on the planets. This is every planet, in every sign for the next 50 years (they don't have the 100 year one out yet). It's the only one I trust. Eclipses and Chiron are also listed. American Ephemeris for the 21st Century at Midnight What astrologer can be without the definitive book on the planets. This is every planet, in every sign for the next 50 years (they don't have the 100 year one out yet). It's the only one I trust. Eclipses and Chiron are also listed. Vedic Astrology Ancient Hindu Astrology for the Modern World James Braha destroys a lot of misconceptions about Vedic Astrology in this (thankfully) easy to read and assimilate book on reading Vedic Charts. There are a lot of rules in Vedic Astrology that are difficult to keep track of but I found them easy to understand and remember in this book. If you want to learn Vedic Astrology, Braha should be on your shelf, you'll be referencing it many times over so keep some "sticky pads" at your side to mark your place. Beneath a Vedic Sky William Levacy writes a commendable introduction to the study of Vedic Astrology. He keeps his sense of humor and as a special treat (and clearly free) he includes a CD that allows you to run your vedic charts. Considering that the Vedic Chart is so different from our standard Western Charts, this becomes worth the purchase of the book alone. Luckily, you get a great book with it!
