OVERALL:
The Sleepwalkers by Arthur Koestler �11.00 ($18.00)*
Jonathan Cainer emphatically recommends this book above all others as essential reading. Whether your interest in astrology is completely casual or whether you are a committed full time student of the art, you will benefit enormously from this compelling journey through history. Arthur Koestler's brilliant book sets astrology in context and explains precisely why we have come to develop our modern ideas about how the stars and planets influence our lives.

REFERENCE BOOKS:
Book of World Horoscopes by Nick Campion �35.00 ($57.30)*
This book contains the charts of the countries of the word, and of historically significant events. Each chart is accompanied by a brief but informative commentary. Where more than one chart is significant, all possibilities are given, and their relevance assessed. The book contains an appendix, listing degrees for the planets and angles of 403 charts. It is now fully revised, in a beautifully bound (dark green and gold) hardcover edition, with easy to read charts.
The Revised Waites Compendium of Natal Astrology by Alan Candlish �8.99 ($14.72)*
Revised edition of the classic work, which contains in concise form the tools for erecting and interpreting a chart. The condensed ephemeris gives the Moon's position for every two days and the positions of the other planets, including Chiron, for every ten days. The table of houses can now be used for equal house, Regiomontanus, Campanus, Placidus, Nat Grad and Koch.

BEGINNERS:

Covers all of the 144 possible Sun-Moon combinations. Each pairing is described under the following headings - Themes, Relationships, Your Greatest Strengths, Your Greatest Weaknesses, Images for Integration and Famous Personalities. (566pp). A useful book for both beginners and more advanced students.
Astrology by Ron C. Davison �8.99 ($14.72)*
The classic guide to understanding your horoscope.
Parker's Astrology by Derek & Julia Parker �14.99 ($24.54)*
Twenty years on, from their 'Compleat Astrologer', the authors produced this even bigger and more lavish compendium of astrology. Colourful and beautiful to look at, it gets full marks for presentation. Included in this volume, is a large section covering the meaning of the planets in signs and houses, along with their positive and negative aspects. Also included are tables of houses and an abridged aphemeris.
The Practical Astrologer by Nick Campion �19.95 ($32.66)*
This fully comprehensive manual includes sections on basics and chart calculation along with concise definitions of planets in sign, house, aspect and transit. The book contains chapters which introduce progressions, synastry, techniques and other areas of astrology such as horary, mundane, financial, electional and medical. It also has an abridged ephemeris and tables of houses, and is illustrated in colour.

NEXT STEPS:
Complete Astrology by Alan Oken �14.99 ($24.54)*
Contains the author's three best-selling books from the mid-Seventies - "As Above So Below", "The Horoscope, the Road and its Travellers" and "Astrology, Evolution and Revolution". Covering a vast range of material, this work is most useful for its exploration of planetary symbolism, and for concise, insightful definitions of the planetary placements and aspects.

PSYCHOLOGICAL ASTROLOGY:
Saturn by Liz Greene �7.99 ($13.08)*
In her classic first book, Liz Greene traces Saturn's influence through the signs and houses (though emphasis is more onth houses), in aspect to the other planets and in synastry. She shows that Saturn, which was previously regarded as a malefic planet, can be an initiator leading us into greater consciousness.
Relating by Liz Greene �8.99 ($14.72)*
This pioneering book is the first real fusion of astrology and Jungian psychology. Includes psychological interpretations of the planets and elements, as well as chapters on major Jungian archetypal themes - shadow, animus/anima, Mother and Father, and how these manifest in our relationships. Particularly perceptive and amusing is the chapter on the "Sex Life of the Psyche".

TECHNIQUES:
Working With Astrology by Mike Harding & Charles Harvey �9.99 ($16.35)*
A Major contribution to astrological literature from two highly respected tutors of the F.A.S. and C.P.A. This book is a substantial and clearly written introduction to the psychology of harmonics, midpoints and astro*carto*graphy. Included in this study are mid-point trees, the 5th, 7th and 9th harmonic, and a wide range of interesting chart examples including those of James Joyce and Zelda Fitzgerald.
SYNASTRY (COMPATIBILITY):
Relationships and Life Cycles by Stephen Arroyo �9.99 ($16.35)*
The major part of this book is concerned with synastry, whilst the rest is mostly on transits. Drawing largely on material from workshops, it shows the author at his most intuitive and inspirational. A wealth of material is contained here, including original work on the "Use of the Houses in Chart Comparison".
