This question comes up often, so I decided to write a more concise article to address all these requests at once.
+ For beginners who know absolutely nothing about astrology, here are the essential basics:
- “Astrology for Dummies” by Rae Orion
+ Specifically for the Houses:
+ To go deeper and engage with the more serious material, in its full philosophical and metaphysical scope, I strongly recommend reading Dane Rudhyar.
These three books truly form the foundation of humanistic astrology:
- “Astrology of Personality” by Dane Rudhyar (the bible of humanistic astrology)
- “An Astrological Triptych” by Dane Rudhyar (an unconventional way of viewing signs and houses)
- “Astrological Aspects: A Process-Oriented Approach” by Dane Rudhyar and Leila Rael (essential for understanding cycles and the evolutionary processes associated with them !)
+ For psychological astrology (all the works of Liz Greene or Stephen Arroyo are also outstanding in quality):
- “An Astrological Approach to Psychological Complexes” by Dane Rudhyar
- “Astrology and the Modern Psyche” by Dane Rudhyar
- “Astrology: The Luminaries” by Liz Greene
- “Relating: An Astrological Guide to Living with Others” by Liz Greene
- “Seminars in Psychological Astrology, Vol. 1 – The Development of the Personality” by Liz Greene and Howard Sasportas
- “Seminars in Psychological Astrology, Vol. 2 – The Dynamics of the Unconscious” by Liz Greene and Howard Sasportas
- “The Inner Planets” by Liz Greene
- “The Outer Planets and Their Cycles: The Collective Dimension of Astrology” by Liz Greene
- “Astrology, Psychology, and the Four Elements” by Stephen Arroyo
It’s hard to make this any more condensed… 😉
