Astrology can be a difficult thing to understand. "Houses of the Horoscope: An Introduction" delves into the finer points of astrology, the house system, and how this applies to astrological practice. These houses apply to many aspects of the human experience, and Alan Oken does well in giving readers a comprehensive overview on the finer points of the art. "Houses of the Horoscope" is solidly recommended for any seeking a deeper understanding of astrology.

This is a good, maybe even "great" book for beginners to astrology. The disappointment for me came by way of very high expectations,after having read the author's masterpiece from several years ago, "Soul-Centered Astrology", which contained everything about Esoteric Astrology that one could think of, except for explainig in any detail the esoteric meaning of the "houses". So I expected that this book would be much more esoterically oriented, and to my mind, it was pretty much the "usual stuff" that can be found in any book dealing with the meaning of the houses. I'm not saying don't buy it, just don't expect any great insights to explode into your mind.
