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

Richard Idemon
The Magic Thread - I mention elsewhere on this site that Richard Idemon was probably my favorite astrologer of the 20th Century. This book is a must buy for learning how to do in-depth birth chart readings! Bad news... this book is currently out of print. As much as I love and recommend Idemon's book on astrological chart interpretation, some of the folks selling it used at Amazon (and elsewhere) appear to be engaging in what I'd call semi-exorbitant price gouging. Check it out

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!

Howard Sasportas and Liz Greene
Volume Two:   The Dynamics of the Unconscious; An exciting book to help you understand yourself and your clients, combining the symbolism of astrology with psychology. Dynamics of the Unconscious shows readers how to understand depression, the astrology and psychology of aggression, and alchemical symbolism for growth.

Howard Sasportas and Liz Greene
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. Check it out

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

Richard Idemon
Volume Five: Through the Looking Glass: A Search for the Self in the Mirror of Relationships. I have long loved and recommended Idemon's book on astrological compatibility; and great news is that it's been republished (Feb. 2010) by The Wessex Astrologer Ltd.. Check it out

The Planets Within: The Astrological Psychology of Marsilio Ficino - Thomas Moore (author of Soul Mates : Honoring the Mysteries of Love and Relationship ), while not an astrologer, is friendly to astrology; and this fascinating book on the "interior life" is based on the writings of Renaissance astrologer Marsilio Ficino (see below). This is an incredible read. Check it out
