These are the favorite books in my astrology library. And if you can get just one? If you’re a newbie to astrology, then perhaps Linda Goodman’s Sun Signs (or Astrology for Everyone by Evangeline Adams, if you can find it). If you’re thinking about practicing astrology more seriously, then you can’t limit yourself to one book, but you could do worse than starting with How to Read Your Astrological Chart by Donna Cunningham.
