Born on A Rotten Day by Hazel Dixon-Cooper A humorous deadpan take on the Sun Sign of all the people you love, and love to hate (with a decidedly negative slant on everyone's foibles). Ms. Hazel doesn't sugar coat the obvious and incredibly annoying, how refreshing! It's not all rotten tomatoes, for good measure she covers Good Sun sign/Bad Sun sign.  Love the sections on surviving the four worst behaviors of each sign, and how to survive your Aries boss, or your Virgo co-worker. Great quotes...

Skymates II: The Composite Chart by Steven and Jodie Forrest I've come to decide this book is the definitive book on Composite Charts, aka the chart of a relationship (A composite chart uses the midpoints of a couple's natal charts to create a third chart). As defined by Steven, the composite is the 3rd entity in a relationship. Each of you are individuals, but what you two attract and where you're going AS A COUPLE is what this book is about. You'll need the composite chart as defined by the...

If the Buddha Dated: A Handbook For Finding Love on the Spiritual Path by Charlotte Kasl If the Buddha Married: Creating Enduring Relationships on a Spiritual Path by Charlotte Kasl You too can move from love & relationship elementary school to L&R college graduation day through Charlotte Kasl's deceptively compact gem-like books.  As the title suggests, Ms. Kasl has an obvious penchant for Buddhism but she's all-faith inclusive, citing many different religious backgrounds. I love...

Skymates: The Astrology of Love, Sex and Intimacy by Steven and Jodie Forrest Beginner to Advanced Love. Sex. Intimacy. Astrology. This book is so lyrically compelling that I'll just quote page 1, chapter 1, paragraph 1: "Nothing strips us so naked. Nothing is quicker to reveal the angel we hide behind our eyes, and nothing is so quick or unmask our priveate madnesses. Who has not been lifted high by love? Who has not felt the world change in a moment of secret tenderness? And who has not been...

Intermediate This book is a classic and I use it often. It's for those of you who are ready to dig in and really get to know the entire birth chart, but it's concise enough so it doesn't overwhelm. Isabel Hickey was a pioneer in modern astrology. Her take is spiritual, and she was one of the first to head into metaphysical territory using words like karma, reincarnation, ego, will, higher self BUT she doesn't water anything down for using them. In fact, it's her fluid blend of new agey terms...

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,...
