So where is the "house of the water sign"? :

Justin Hayward and John Lodge, Strange Times, 1999.

Julia Parker and Derek Parker, Parker's Astrology (New York: Dorling
Kindersley, 1991) - this is an excellent basic source. Not supercheap - mine
cost $35 dollars (before a 20% discount), but quite comprehensive. The
ephemeris (the lookup chart for the planets and signs) goes up to only the
year 2000. So it's not Y2.001k-compliant ;-) and they will probably be
putting out a revised edition around then. There's also an earlier edition -
the ephemeris on that one is definitely not current, but it contains the same
great instructions for creating a birth chart. If you are ready to move
past the basics, this would be a great book to start with.

Tomas J. Filsinger, Celestial Planisphere (South Norwalk, CT: Great
American Puzzle Factory, c1989) - a bit of a nuisance to put together, since
the background is entirely black, but quite nice when it's done.
There are several other books on astrology that added to my knowledge - Sun
Signs and Love Signs, both by Linda Goodman, and books by Jeane
Dixon and Evangeline Adams. (Sorry, but I don't know the titles. They were
my parents' and have probably been eaten by the monster in the attic.) I was
in a bookstore yesterday, and saw The Complete Idiot's Guide to Astrology.
I didn't buy it - it mentioned Princess Diana fairly prominently on the cover,
and I have a problem with that sort of thing. I did flip through it quickly,
and it seemed to be a reasonable overview. I would still recommend Parker's,
though, if you think you're really going to get into this - it's the best one
I know.
