Here are some specially selected Astrology titles you can buy direct from our online Astrology bookstore, which we have arranged in conjunction with Amazon.com.
We have written a short introduction to each of these books, so you can get an idea of what they are about. There's nothing worse than looking at a link without a key or explanation, is there?

To order a book, just click on its title (or the cover image). If the book is out of print, we will search our contacts in the second-hand bookstores to locate it for you. You may still need to search the second-hand stores and libraries to find it, but it will be worth the trouble.

Basic Astrology
back to top	Astrology by Ronald C. Davison. (Mayflower Books Ltd: London 1969.) First published in 1963, Ronald Davison’s Astrology is one of the best general introductions to astrological lore and the basics of chart calculation and interpretation. Davison, a former leading light of British astrology, displays a wealth of astrological and spiritual knowledge in his descriptions of the symbolic meanings of the signs, the planets, the aspects and the houses. Astrology is also of historical interest since it was written before oversimplification and eschewing fatalism became the dominant trends among many astrologers during the 1970’s. Look in second-hand bookstores for this little gem.
back to top	Life Cycles: The Influence of Planetary Cycles on our Lives by Rose Elliot. (Macmillan: London 1993.) Best known for her cookery books, Rose Elliot nevertheless has a fine grasp of astrology. Her accessible introduction to transits demonstrates how the planets, at certain stages of their cycles, coincide with distinct developmental stages and/or major psychological crisis points in our lives. Life Cycles explains what each planet represents, what planetary cycles mean and how to handle their effects in the most constructive way. It includes simple tables and graphs, enabling anyone born this century to see when planetary cycles will be affecting his or her life.
back to top	Planetary Music: Understanding Astrological Rhythms by Edwin L. Rose. (Guiding Star Publishing: 1998.) Planetary Music: Understanding Astrological Rhythms by Ed Rose is a ground-breaking book which makes a compelling connection between the rhythms of the seasons and the qualities of the astrological signs. Sometimes controversial, it delves into the roots of astrology incorporating music, science, religion, and philosophy. Planets, signs, houses, and aspects are examined in a unified way so that the reader can see how the qualities of each arise, rather than memorizing a long list of disjointed observations.
back to top	Reading the Future: A Step-by-Step Guide to Predictive Astrology by Sasha Fenton. (Ed: Caroline Richmond. Judy Piatkus (Publishers) Ltd: London 1996.) The techniques of predictive astrology usually entail complex calculation and require access to a number of astrological resources. However, these powerful techniques are now readily available to anyone with a computer equipped with astrology software. In this light, Sasha Fenton provides a straightforward guide to learning and using the major predictive techniques: day-for-a-year progressions, solar arc progressions, solar and lunar returns, and transits. Reading the Future also offers brief interpretations of how the planets work when moving through the various signs and houses and when in easy or difficult aspects.

Relationships and Sexuality
back to top	Sex Signs by Judith Bennett. (Pan Books Ltd: London 1981.) Every woman's astrological and psychological guide to love, sex, men and fulfillment. A brilliant and penetrating insight into every woman's emotional and sexual being. Sensitive, skilled astrology from a genuine female sage, as she shows how to make the most of your creativity, power and personality. Drawing on modern knowledge of human relationships, Judith Bennett provides superb and detailed analyses of every astrological sign, from the woman's point of view. Required reading for men, too!
back to top	Seduction by the Stars by Ren Alexander & Geraldine Rose. (Harper Collins: Sydney 1995.) Here is an astrological guide to love unlike any you've read before. Playful, witty, but dangerously effective, Seduction by the Stars gives you the down-and-dirty secrets you need to make yourself irresistible to any sign under the sun. Each star sign is analysed and recommended modes of seduction for each are playfully outlined, along with insightful comments on the relationship capacity of each sign. A good read which owes quite a bit to Judith Bennett's Sex Signs, reviewed above.
back to top	Synastry: Understanding Human Relations Through Astrology by Ronald Davison.(Aurora Press: Santa Fe 1983.) Synastry details the principles of chart comparison and interpretation and shows how to apply this information. While Davison’s proposed “relationship horoscope” is a somewhat questionable technique, this does not detract from the fact that Synastry is a very good summation of the methods of chart comparison. The book includes short interpretations of planetary inter-chart aspects and comparative house placements.
back to top	Planets in Composite: Analyzing Human Relationships by Robert Hand.(Ed: Margaret E. Anderson. Whitford Press: West Chester, PA 1975.) While John Townley is responsible for introducing the composite chart to English speaking astrologers, Robert Hand’s Planets in Composite is the definitive textbook on the subject. Hand explains and demonstrates the effectiveness of the composite technique, and shows how to cast and read a composite horoscope. The bulk of Planets in Composite comprises delineations for all the planets in each house and every major aspect.

Advanced Astrology
back to top	Horary Astrology: The History and Practice of Astro-Divination by Anthony Louis. (Llewellyn Publications: St Paul, MN 1991.) Horary Astrology is a veritable compendium of traditional astrological knowledge, for anyone with a good grounding in astrology. Louis gives a clearly written, thorough, and at times critical presentation of the rules and methods of this traditional divination technique. Explaining the practical application of planetary and house rulerships, planetary strength, strictures against judgment, and much more, Louis outlines his method for interpreting horary charts, plus the reasoning behind the concepts. Includes up-to-date rulership list, glossary of key horary concepts, and many example charts, tables and illustrations.
back to top	Mundane Astrology: The History and Practice of Astro-Divination by Michael Baigent, Thomas Campion & Charles Harvey. (Aquarian Press Harper Collins: London, England 1984.) Do countries have a life of their own? What governs the world's economy? Is it possible to predict international conflict? Can astrology encourage international understanding? Mundane Astrology tackles these problems in a superbly readable way. Written by a troika of highly qualified astrologers, this book is a must for anyone interested in this much neglected area of astrology.
back to top	The Gods of Change: Pain, Crisis and the Transits of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto by Howard Sasportas. (Arkana (Penguin): London 1989.) Major turning points or crises in our lives are usually signified by the transits of the outer planets to our birth charts. Sasportas provides a psychologically informed account of the distinctive dilemmas, particular type of trauma, test or trial posed by each planet, as it moves through the houses and makes aspects to the planets of the birth chart. By knowing what is in store for us, he suggests, we can learn to cooperate with the inevitable, find meaning behind periods of upheaval, and use our life crises as opportunities for growth and development.
back to top	The Lost Key to Prediction: The Arabic Parts in Astrology by Robert Zoller. (Inner Traditions: NY 1980.) The Arabic Parts, greatly valued by astrologers of an earlier era, have been virtually ignored by Western astrology since the seventeenth century. Zoller opens up this valuable tradition to modern astrologers, gaining a new perspective on the inner meaning of the horoscope. The first section covers the relationship of parts to number and causality (karma or fate). The second section contains his translation of Bonatti's derivation of over 100 parts. The third illustrates the practical use of parts in natal, horary and mundane figures. Clearly written and relevant, this book should be on the shelves of every serious astrologer.
back to top	Solar Returns in Your Face by Marc Penfield. (American Federation of Astrologers, Inc.: Tempe AZ 1996.) In this book Marc Penfield presents the case for applying the precession correction to annual solar return charts. Solar Returns in Your Face is light on theory, and contains no “cook-book” list of planets in the houses and so forth, rather, it demonstrates that precessed solar return charts aptly describe events in people’s lives by presenting brief analyses of over 140 example charts of famous people, at important stages in their lives.
