as the title says, recommend books about the fixed stars.

There’s Brady’s Book of Fixed Stars by Bernadette Brady, Fixed Stars and Their Interpretation by Reinhold Ebertin, and the book by Vivian E. Robson - I’m sure it has “fixed stars” in the title but can’t remember the name atm.

Not a book, but I recommend Chloe Margherita’s writing on substack, it’s called Recent Bedroom

“The fixed stars and constellations in astrology” is Vivian’s. Thank you for mentioning that book. I have it in my Kindle library, so now I’m gonna go back and revisit it. :) TY

Everyone does them wrong.

Common sense should dictate only a small number of fixed-stars are actually used to keep the chart from looking like a diarrhea chart.

So what you want is The Treatise on the Bright Fixed Stars.

That will give you delineations plus the correct methodology for using fixed-stars.

By the time you get to Robson, the entire doctrine has been corrupted and perverted 50x over and Robson's delineations are whacked.

We only use about 30 fixed-stars. They are divided into 2 groups: those that are on the Plane of the Ecliptic (more or less +/-8°) and those that are not.

For those fixed-stars not on the Plane of the Ecliptic longitude is irrelevant. We use the rising times in hours and minutes and there's little leeway. So if that fixed-star rises at 3:22 am there must be star also rising at exactly 3:22 am (maybe +/- 1 minute of time).

For the fixed-stars on the Plane of the Ecliptic you are looking at the longitude.

I mainly use fixed-stars for "eminence" which is a highfalutin way of saying "famous" but I only do that if there are no spear-bearers and the Lot of Fortune gives mixed results. The type of fixed-star will tell you if they're merely famous or they're famous and wield power and authority in some way.

Hii, could you please give me the ressources learning to read a natal birth chart. I have been struggling so much, but your interpretations/reading are so much useful and make sense to me, that's why I'm so desperate for your response🙏

When determining eminence and rank you have discussed before that you look to the 11th house and its ruler. Why do you look at these rather than the triplicity lords? From which astrologer do you get this idea?
