🌙 My Top 5 Astrology Books 📖

1️⃣Cosmos & Psyche, Richard Tarnas, 2006

📜Nonfiction

👩‍🏫Historical analysis of how & why humans developed astrology.

✨If you want to be able to defend astrology as a legitimate practice, this is for you. It’s dense, I won’t lie- the writing is so academic it took me 11 months to read this one- but you will be able to talk down even the most frustrating skeptic.

2️⃣Planets in Transit, Robert Hand, 1976

🗃️Reference

👩‍🏫The transits of all the planets through each sign and house of the zodiac.

🌕This is a reference book, so don’t worry about reading this big boy cover to cover. It has explanations of all the major transits-conjunction, sextile, square, trine, and opposition- of all the planets & through all the houses. This is the book you go grab when you can’t remember what “sun square Saturn in the 10th house” means 😅

3️⃣You Were Born For This, Chani Nicholas, 2020

✍️Self-Help-ish, Personal Development

👩‍🏫The best birth chart book in the biz.

☀️Chani Nicholas is one of the most radical & insightful of our modern astrologers, & her book is only further support of that. This book has in-depth analysis of all the top 3’s- Sun signs, Moon signs, and Rising signs. Her explanations of what these mean and how to interpret the concepts are the best I’ve ever read- I bring this book for EVERY birth chart I do!

4️⃣The American Ephemeris 1950-2050, Neil Michelson & Rique Pottenger, 2011

🗃️Reference

👩‍🏫The horoscopes for every day of the last 100 years (this is what you use to make charts).

🪐Another reference book so don’t worry about how thick she is- this is just the charts of each planet’s position in the sky every day in the years listed (ephemeris means table of celestial data). You can pull this puppy out for any date in those 100 years & see the exact horoscope of that day- no internet required, & no wondering if you’re reading something accurate.

5️⃣ The Rulership Book

🗃️Reference

👩‍🏫 A list of every correspondence between a planet and an object, idea, or event.

🌒 Wanna know what planet rules love? Venus. Tickets? Uranus. Capricorn rules knees! It’s a book of lists.

💕📚There are more of course, but these are the ones I recommend most. Please tell me your faves too, or let me know if you’ve read any of these & what you think!
