I already know some Astrology stuff, so take me deeper (when you've already got a lot of the basics down):

The Five Volume Series - Seminars in Psychological Astrology Folks... this entire five volume book series is pure gold for getting a firmer grip on the concepts of archetypal or psychological astrology!

Volume Three:   The Luminaries, The Psychology of the Sun and Moon in the Horoscope; The Sun and Moon symbolize two very basic but different psychological processes that operate in every human being. In this volume in the Seminars in Psychological Astrology series, Liz Greene and Howard Sasportas team up to discuss the mythology and psychology of the Sun and the Moon, the importance of relationships, the role of the father in individual development, how the mother affects the individual, and how we blend the energy of the Sun and Moon as we develop during a lifetime.

Howard Sasportas and Liz Greene
Volume Four:   The Inner Planets, Building Blocks of Personal Reality; The inner planets--Mercury, Venus, Mars--are the foundations of what psychology calls the ego, the sense of personal self. In this fourth volume in the Seminars in Psychological Astrology series, Liz Greene and Howard Sasportas discuss the value of the inner planets as they symbolize important aspects of personality. Their book teaches us the process of understanding how these three planets actually represent our individuality, and how they directly color the energy of the rest of our horoscope. Check it out
