If I had to recommend an ephemeris, this would be the one I would recommend. I have generally found it easy to use and very accurate. The only flaw would be in the monthly only listings of Chiron, which is far more important than previously thought.

This is the standard, classic ephemeris. It's perfect for the task. The only thing I've noticed it is missing is declinations. If you are buying this book you probably already know what you are doing and you know this will serve your needs. I also have the noon ephemeris but this one is better for taking the NCGR-PAA certification tests. The tests are based on the midnight ephemeris, especially level two. I got through level one with the noon ephemeris but I had to do some extra calculations to convert the data to the midnight numbers. For level two I decided to go the easier route and get this book instead of doing all of the extra conversions.

Determine where the planets are today and then look to see what was happening historically when things happened to you in the past. Lots of info on eclipses, which can be helpful too. Obviously, the newest edition is most crucial. This is your Astrologer's Bible.

One always needs a fresh one and these are getting rare as hen's teeth what with computers and ephemerides available at the click of a button - BUT - what happens when the lights go out or you are without your laptop? That's why we carry these around with us. Someone is always asking if I have one with me. Of course!

If you are really interested in astrology, this will be your book. There is nothing to read, only symbols. But if you can read them, they tell you LOTS of things...
