Top 10 Karmic and Spiritual Astrology Books

For the more advanced astrologer or for those of you who approach the study of astrology from a soul-centered, evolutionary or spiritual viewpoint, these are the top 10 karmic and spiritual Astrology books:

1. Pluto, Volume I: The Evolutionary Journey of the Soul

By Jeff Green
“Pluto Volume I does more than just look at the planet in your chart. In truth, it represents nothing less than the evolutionary journey of your Soul. If you have ever asked, "Why am I here?" or "What are the lessons I need to learn in this lifetime?" then this book will help you to objectively discover the answers from an astrological point of view.”

2. Pluto: Vol. 2: The Soul's Evolution Through Relationships

By Jeff Green
“Professional astrologer Jeffrey Green explores karmic destiny, past lives, and future evolutionary steps of the soul in Pluto, Volume II." From the great mass of people on the planet, we all choose certain ones with whom to be intimate. This book explores the astrological/Pluto model that embraces the evolutionary development and progression of the Soul from life to life.”

3. Astrology, Karma & Transformation: The Inner Dimensions of the Birth Chart

By Stephen Arroyo
“Astrology, Karma and Transformation by Stephen Arroyo focuses on the understanding and use of astrology as a tool for spiritual and psychological growth.”

4. Astrological Insights into the Spiritual Life

By Dane Rudhyar
“This book provides a penetrating, sensitive, poetic, and visual insight into the twelve qualities required for the spiritual life, for astrologers and non-astrologers alike. Using the Astrological signs and houses, Rudhyar builds a framework for impregnating the seeker with an awareness of how to use basic life challenges, as a process through which an individual human being evolves. The twelve exquisite artistic renderings evoke the archetypal, intuitive level of each sign.”

5. Soul Centered Astrology: A Key to Your Expanding Self

By Alan Oken
“Soul-Centered Astrology is a groundbreaking sourcebook. Influenced by Theosophical philosophy, Alice Bailey, and the Ancient Wisdom Teachings, Alan Oken describes the evolutionary process of spiritual self-development with the twelve astrological signs and their soul-centered planetary rulers and the esoteric significance of the planets in the signs.”

6. Esoteric astrology (A treatise on the seven rays)

By Alice Bailey
“Astrology is described in this book as "the science of relationships"--the relationship existing between all living organisms within the universe. Not only do the qualities of the ray energies affect these centers of consciousness, but also the quality and energy of the ruling planets and the zodiacal signs.”

7. Martin Schulman's Karmic Astrology Series

Karmic Astrology, Volume 1: The Moon's Nodes and Reincarnation
Karmic Astrology: Retrogrades and Reincarnation Volume II
Karmic Astrology: Joy and the Part of Fortune Volume III
Karmic Astrology: The Karma of the Now

All four volumes of Martin Schulman’s series are written in such a way as to guide one easily into the dynamics of karmic astrology with easy reference and application of the material.

8. Anatomy of Fate: Kabbalistic Astrology

By Z'Ev Ben Shimon Halevi
“Great resource for Astrology and the Kabbalah.”

9. Astrology for the Soul

By Spiller, Jan

“The familiar twelve sun signs of the zodiac do not tell the whole story. Using a unique approach, a nationally recognized astrological authority explains how the north and south nodes, where the orbits of earth and moon intersect, profoundly influence personal growth. This easy-to-follow, sign-by-sign guide offers practical advice on decision-making, problem-solving and goal-fulfillment techniques designed to link the influence of the planets to the growth of the individual soul.”

10. The Astrology of Fate
By Liz Greene
“Why has the concept of fate become so offensive to the modern Western reader? Why does it imply for us a lack of free will, a loss of control, a sense of powerlessness, humiliation and impotence? Why has the meaning of fate become so disconnected from its sister concept, karma? In this masterwork by the author of Relating, Liz Greene confronts and questions the issue of fate head-on, and renders a broader perception of just what fate is: an unfoldment of natural processes rather than predestined or preordained events in the individual's life.”
