I bought this excellent reference book years ago and use it on a regular basis. Brief but well written descriptions of how planets in one persons chart affect the others persons life. Example: A's Sun in B's 4 house, as well as inter-planetary aspects. I'd quickly get another copy of this book if I lost mine. My library would not be complete without it.

Frances Sakoian's The Astrology of Human Relationships is a must have for any Astrologer. She goes through all the planet/sign combinations with their aspects in the book, describing indepth, the good and the bad of compatibility between two charts. Of course you must have a basic understanding of the signs, planets and what conjunctions, trines, squares, etc., are. It puts a new spin on what "A's Mercury conjunct B's Uranus" means as well as well as what "A's Venus in B's fourth house" means. I would recommend this book to anyone studying Astrology. It is definitely a book for my library.

What can be said that has already been said? Well, I for one, being a certified, professional astrologer, I highly recommend it. This is NOT a book for the novice however. One must first start with a primer, such as The Astrologer's Handbook, which is by far the BEST book on astrology to this day, in my opinion. It goes into great detail of the Natal, or Birth Chart.
Predictive Astrology deals with transits, minor aspects, and other rare items, such as the cutting planet, anaretic degrees, the scout planet, much which is now considered 'dated', yet no one can dispute them, once delineated (interpretated)correctly.
Lastly, The Astrology of Human Relationships is a must, as are the the 2 before, as all three can be used together to help the amatuer astrologer gain a foothold on astrology, and it's concepts.
This book again, I do NOT recommend for the novice. However, it is an excellent reference book for Synastry charts (relationships).
As opposed to Composite Charts, Synastry charts take both individuals' natal charts, and 'overlap' them. But this has been written about already here to the point of overkill.
In summary, again, I highly recommend all three books for the novice, the adept, and the professional astrologer.

I have owned this series for many years, there are three altogether. You get a good basic understanding of how astrology works with this series. I would recommend them to anyone just beginning to learn and as a reference for a professional as well. They are true to form.

Fairly easy to read. Striaght forward information. A brief description of astrological principals is given. However, you will need your own chart and the chart of another person already in hand in order to start the intrepetations. Not very detailed information, yet it is okay for the novice.

A comparison of the horoscopes of two people can yield much useful information about whether they will be attracted to each other and, if a relationship occurs, what the nature of that relationship is likely to be. This book is an excellent introduction to how to make such horoscope comparisons and contains the detailed information required for doing so. Incidentally, although horoscope comparisons are often done to see the potential for a successful romantic relationship or marriage, such comparisons are equally valid for any two people including siblings, coworkers, etc.

Once again the team of Sakoian & Acker has done a superb job. Very insightful and right on the mark according to my 34 years experience as an astrologer!

a must have for everyone tries to learn astrology. Easy to read/use

This book is on the art of comparing one persons horoscope to anothers. I have worn out and have probably bought this book 10X. I always recommend this book to beginners (what I began with). These books (The Astrologers Handbook, Predictive Astrology, both by Sakoian & Acker)are clear, organized and to the point. They are written from a psychological point of veiw. The authors didn't waste any words. These books are on target. If you want to know "is this person right for me" or "why is my relationship with so-and-so so impossible", this book will make things clear.
