Keywords for Astrology: The Essential Guide to Correspondences and Interpretation of Planets, Signs, Houses, and Aspects

A handy reference and indispensable guide to traditional astrological terms and interpretation.

Keywords for Astrology explains all the essential configurations in a horoscope by showing both aspects of its expression—the light and the dark—with vivid keywords and concise descriptions. It offers a remarkably straightforward method for using keywords to interpret the correspondences of the planets, zodiac signs, cardinal axes, houses, and aspects. It weaves together the relationships between each of these elements and then expands on this by highlighting harmonious and discordant qualities, and the results readily apply to natal placement or a transiting influence. This approach allows new perspectives and insights to emerge in your interpretations.

The tabular format of the presentation enables readers to quickly make comparisons, all the related configurations are provided under the same heading. A handy "edge index" of glyphs of the astrological signs on the page flush with the right edge makes it an indispensable, ready reference for any student of astrology.

Banzhaf and Haebler combine their vast knowledge with humor and compassion, making this book a pleasure to read, and one that will be kept within easy reach.

First published by Weiser Books in 1996, this new edition includes a new foreword by Theresa Reed, author of Astrology for Real Life: A Workbook for Beginners, as well as adjustments to the interior design.
