Easy to use reference for the calculation of cusps

This is the book of tables that I originally trained with, so I suppose that it will always be my favorite. It is based on the Placidus system of house division, but I have never seen any flaw with this model. If you use any of the other house division systems you will no doubt find these tables to be of limited usefulness. Otherwise, you have all the well laid out and easy to read tables that you need for locating house cusps: tables of houses for 0 to 60 degree north, solar-siderial time correction, time correction for longitude, diurnal motion of the sun and planets, semidiurnal motion of the moon, etc. There is even a convenient table of longitudes and latitudes for major cities in both the U.S. and the rest of the world.There is even a clearly written introduction on how to cast a natal horoscope with included examples. Of course you are also going to need a good ephemerides for planet location. I recommend the Rosicrucian ephemerides in conjunction with this book.
