Astrologer's Datebok 2007 (Calendar) by Jim Maynard Beginner to Advanced You need to plan a business meeting, so what day should you choose? A day when Moon's in Capricorn and/or Saturn makes a harmonious aspect to Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars. Is there a book that will tell you this? Yes, this is it. It's the most elemental tool for anyone who likes to go with the flow instead of push, and yet not many people use this. Why oh why not? I don't know. It's so simple to use. There's a handy Moon...
My very first astrology book, awww…
Astrology for Yourself by Douglas Bloch and Demetra George Beginner This was my very first astrology book (thanks, dad!). It's a workbook you use on your own birthchart. There's just no better way to learn about astrology than doing hands on workbook exercises on your favorite subject - you! How hard it is looking back and forth from your chart to a book that doesn't ask you to participate. This is not that book. Astrology is interactive, learning is interactive. The very cool thing about...
A Modern Astrologers Bible
Planets in Transit : Life Cycles for Living by Rob Hand Another must have for the intermediate to advanced astrology library. Every, read EVERY modern astrologer has this book. No one has ever compiled such a complete, psychologically oriented source for what's happening when Pluto opposes your Sun, or Mars trines your Saturn. Many astrology websites you regularly use base the information they give you directly from this book. That's no secret.
I need all the help I can get, thanks.
Making the Gods Work For You by Carolyn Casey Beginner to Intermediate Level This is the one book that lifted my astrology off of the page and into the realm of magic. It does just what the title promises. Let's get one thing straight about magic: it is not witchcraft, it's cooperation. Cooperation. Not coercion, manipulation or black magic. What you resist, persists, plain and simple. What you don't know you're resisting also persists. You begin cooperating with the Gods, God, Goddess,...
TomKat’s Red Rose
Suri Cruise: 18 April 2006 What can we say about the little baby daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes that hasn't been said before? She's dark haired, blue eyed and has beautiful parents. But just from knowing her Sun sign, we offer Katie and Tom some helpful advice about little Suri. She may look small and helpless now, but deep down she's a tough independent spirit who won't be afraid to let you know if she disagrees with you. Early on this may come out in red-faced crying fits, but when...
That witty Brit
Secrets From a Stargazer's Notebook by Debbi Kempton-Smith "For those who don't have all day to figure out tomorrow..." You want to learn astrology, soup to nuts but you need to be entertained. Ms. Smith keeps her promise. She's also a respected astrologer who runs a daily column in the U.K. and has been around for awhile (this was published in the early 80's). The chapters are short and sweet. They're concise and quite accurate. Sometimes her own humor doeth runneth away and the deeper...
Little Miss Type A
Reese Witherspoon: 22 March 1976Â Charming belle Reese Witherspoon claims her blonde hair and Southern background has never helped her image. She says, "Immediately, when people meet you, they think of you as not being smart." Perhaps that's what fueled her standout performance in Legally Blonde, the story of a debutante who wants to prove her intellectual worth. To happily satisfy their self-starting Cardinal energy, Aries needs a grand goal to fuel their considerable inner fire. But whereas...
Wild Man, check
  Russell Crowe: 07 April 1964 Let's say you were stranded on a burning bridge, or being chased by thugs. Who would you want at your side? A pleasant Taurus, a caring Cancer, a quick-footed Gemini? Or how about someone you can rely on in an emergency, someone whose adrenals spit out cortisol like it's going out of style? Sounds like Aries Australian Russell Crowe. Brave and courageous, Russell's brawls are as publicized as his movies. Ladies, note: you can excite a male Aries with a good old...
How to capture your man’s heart…
How To Bewitch a Man by Fiona Horne When I saw a pic of Fiona Horne in a copy of US magazine at the gym, I was tempted to dismiss her. Yes, she looks like a Playmate (and she is). She's the whole package, blonde, full chested, in an utterly bewitching L.A. kind of way. She's the kind of gal that makes an alpha female (or male) want to stare at her secretly in wonder, 'what's she about?'. I owned up to my own judgment and read on. She had just appeared on the Tyra Banks Show. Tyra thought all...

Seduction by the Stars by Ren Lexander "Do you take this person to be your lawfully wedded spouse, to have, to hold, to cherish, in sickness and in health, forsaking all others unil somebody better comes along?" -Libran Wedding Vow Longing for a Libran or Crazy for a Capricorn? A practical and irreverent how-to guide for turning your object of amore into a puddle of love. It does what it says, tells you how to seduce every dang sign.
