These are the books you keep putting away on the shelf, but then take them back down again within a day ortwo.
My books that won't stay put away are:-- The Rulership Book by Rex E. Bills.
-- Planets in Transit by Robert Hand.
What are yours?

I have the American Ephemeris for the 20th Century, 1900 to 2000, and also one for the 21st Century. They
are falling apart.

But I also just got hold of a book that I have never heard of, that is absolutely fantastic if you are after acompact, simplified, quick guide to interpreting placements.
It's called; Keywords for Astrology, by Hajo Banzhaf & Anna Haebler
There is no text, just succinct, modern, short interpretations for absolutely every placement you can think of.
Like planets in the house, planets in aspect (including AC, MC and K), Ascendants, the characters connected tothe planets, the houses, etc.
For example, the section on the signs has two pages for each sign with boxes with headings like; PhysicalCorrelations, Shadow, Archetype, Motivation, Strives For, Pitfalls, Task in Life, Guiding Principle, Mythological
Motifs, Central Thoughts, Actions, Feelings, etc.
So it is very comprehensive, thorough, well organised and best of all incredibly quick and simple to use.
I can't see that you would need any other reference, because this little book just covers everything. I highly
recommend it.
Oh, and the other book that never stays on the shelf is; Aspects In Astrology, by Sue Tompkins.

If I'm trying to work something out I'll pick up Arroyo's "Astrology, Karmaand Transformation" or a little one I found by Doris Hebel "Celestial Psychology- An Astrological Guide toGrowth and Transformation". Guess the outer planets interest me.

Astrological ... Anything by Betty Lundsted ... especially " Astrological insights into the personality " to begin
with ... Its Jungian , Psyche stuff ; so depends on what your cup of tea is ....
Put these to two together and suddenly your life feels like an Ingmar Bergman film .
Not such a bad thing ......

because Solar Arcs, by Noel Tyl is a very large, heavy book, and I hated
having it wondering around the house. I mostly use the tables at the back - SA interpretations, after Ebertin's.

Planets in Transit - Rob Hand - has travelled the world with me, literally
The Twelve Houses - Howard Sasportas (or any of his books, The Gods of Change or the ones co-written withPosts: 454
Gender:Liz Greene)
The Eagle and the Lark, Predictive Astrology - Bernadette Brady
Mapping the Psyche Vol1 - Clare Martin
Incarnation - the four angles and the nodes - Melanie Reinhart
All the CPA press series books are really good, and the Studyshops as well if you prefer something moreinteractive. The CPA Studyshops are available from Bernadette Brady's website (AstroLogos) or most of the UK
internet specialist Astrology retailers. Have got a couple and seen some others and they are really good.
Also, already mentioned, When Stars Collide by Paul Westran - but beware it is very addictive.
If you prefer downloads, the monthly podcasts by Jeff Jawer and Rick Levine which are on StarIQ and YouTube
are brilliant. I've been on a course with both of them and also had a face to face reading from Jeff and he wasso accurate, really nice guy as well.
