Favorite astrology books

I have given 14 talks about astrology and about Feng Shui at The Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library. The librarian who invited me to come and talk about astrology asked me to tell her what my favorite astrology books were. I told her, and she made bookmarks to give to my audience members that had the list of my favorite books on them. At that time, these were the list of books that I told her. In parenthesis, I will tell you why I chose those particular books.

A to Z Horoscope Maker and Delineator by Llewelyn George. (When I had my birth chart done by Zipporah Pottenger Dobyns, I was so astonished at how accurate she was, that when I left her, I immediately went to the library to find out how she did what she did. I came out of the library with a pile of books about astrology in my arms and this was the first one I read. I was further astonished when I read the book, as I was extremely familiar with it. I not only knew what would come next in the book, but I knew what I agreed with and what I did not. This was the first of several old books that I knew what was in them.)

The Compleat Astrologer by Derek and Julia Parker. (I think I am on my third copy of this book and its cover is held together by lots of heavy scotch tape. This book is a great book for beginning astrologers, as it covers everything an astrologer would need to know to get started in astrology. It is also a good book for both intermediate and experienced astrologers because it is so all-encompassing.)

The Luminaries: the Psychology of the Sun and Moon in the Horoscope by Liz Green. (Liz Green is a good astrologer who is also a good writer.)

The Outer Planets & Their Cycle: the Astrology of the Collective by Liz Green. (This is another of her books that I love and would highly recommend.)

Alan Oken’s Complete Astrology: the Classic Guide to Modern Astrology by Alan Oken. (This is an interesting guide to understanding modern astrology.)

Any books by Robert Hand, Stephen Arroyo, Zipporah Pottenger Dobyns, Joan Quigley, Ivy Jacobson, Evangeline Adams and Donna Cunningham.

The following books are not on the library’s bookmarks, but I would now include them with my favorite astrology books.

C. C. Zain, also know as Elbert Benjamine. (I have been given a huge number of astrology books at different times by four different people. In one of these bonanzas, was a bunch of nine books written by C. C. Zain. I use his Horary Astrology book so frequently that the pages are falling apart.

Stephen Forrest has written a lot of books about astrology, all of which are quite good.

Any books by Ray Grasse. I love them all.

The Rulership Book A Directory of Astrological Correspondences by Rex E. Bills. (I think every serious intermediate or experienced student of astrology needs this book. I use it frequently when I do horary astrology charts, even though I have done thousands of them.)

Extraordinary Relationships Through Astrology by Dianne Lawson. I am including my book because it has what I think are the most important things to know regarding astrology and relationships. For more information about my book, go to: http://diannelawson.com/book/
