Advice on a book

Hi.

I'm looking for some good in depth books on the houses (specifically the 12 house) and I could use some help in my search. Are there any good books that some of the more experienced astrologers would recommend?

Thank you in advance.

Dane Rudhyar is the dean and the father of humanistic astrology. He was an astounding figure in philosophy, music, as well as astrology, and all his books are classics. His Astrology of Personality ranks up their with Alice A. Bailey's Esoteric Astrology, IMO. Difficult to understand, but worth the effort.

Houses is much easier to comprehend.

Rudyhar died in 1985 when he was 90 years old.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dane_Rudhyar). The 1986 book is simply a reprint of the earlier 1972 edition, which is the one which I own.

Go with the 1972 edition, it has more value, and might be cheaper, IMO.

Ah, Thank you, Zarathu. Your opinion carries weight with me since you've been doing this longer than I've been around.

Mods can close this thread now. No need to waste server space with an answered question.

I recommend Llewellyn's New A to Z Horoscope Maker and Interpreter. It's not specifically about just the houses, but it covers them (and pretty much everything else you could possibly wish to learn about astrology) pretty thoroughly. I find myself turning to this book every time I need to know something astrology-related. It's just a great book to have around in general.

Here's a link to its sales page on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Llewellyns-Ho...738703222/ref=cm_sw_em_r_awd_wYffub0T83NRD_tt

If you find a really in-depth book that you enjoy, please do let me know!

Have you tried looking online for a good resource on the houses? (It's not as appealing to me as a brand new book, but there is definitely some useful information put there.

I actually am fairly certain I have a few good web pages saved in my bookmarks. I'll reply with links to said bookmarks when I find them.

Good luck! (Sorry I couldn't give you a really specific answer! :s)

Update: I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT THIS BOOK. It's specifically about the Planets in the Houses. I highly recommend anything by this author. I bought her book on the Aspects on a whim and ended up purchasing her other three books immediately afterwards.

Thing is, it's only available digitally, so if you absolutely cannot tolerate reading stuff on your computer or phone or Kindle/Nook, it might not be your cup of tea. I still thought it was worth mentioning, though. :)

Ha, no need to worry about the specifics. I'll take any advice I can get. :biggrin:

Thanks!
