A list of astrology book recommendations for beginners is here. But what about great astrology books that for some reason, you never see mentioned?

My pick is Key Words for Astrology by Hajo Banzhaf and Anna Haebler

An anonymous reviewer on Amazon writes:

“This little book cuts to the astrological chase in a concise, clear, exciting style. Banzhaf is a German-language writer (in translation here) whose clipped-to-the-point descriptions of all the basic astrological positions and combinations are steeped in a deep knowledge not only of the subject at hand, but of Jungian psychology, classical mythology, numerology, and Tarot. While many authors who have written valuable books on chart analysis carry on at great lengths to discuss each element of the horoscope, Banzhaf is in every case clear, concise, illuminating, and almost best of all, he supplies us with brief, pithy, mythology or psychology-derived titles for nearly every combination here–titles such as Moon in Aries–the Amazon.”

I agree completely. I found this book 30 years into my study of astrology and still learned something new on every page. I think it is a masterwork. I was floored over the depth of what these authors could convey in just a few words and embarrassed by how little I knew, or had missed about this aspect or that.

This book belongs in every astrological library. I don’t know why no one has never heard of it or why at the moment you can but it for $1.29 but if you are studying astrology and working on the aspects, I would say check this reference first and then go read everyone else’s blah blah. Because there is not a word wasted here and there is nothing like having the answer in hand before you even look into the thing.
