Art of Horary Astrology in Practice - Out of Print
It's a shame this book is no longer in print, and that used copies are so expensive. I found my copy for a buck at a used book store. This is a fantastic text, and DeLong's presentation of horary technique is clear and simple.
This was my first introduction to horary astrology, and I still think it is one of the best. DeLong uses many traditional techniques, but also uses the outer planets, something traditionalists don't. She doesn't address some of the finer points of traditional astrology, like the use of antiscia, but I think this is a good, since it keeps chart reading much easier than it is when you start introducing all manner of other factors to complicate things. I got very accurate readings using this book--far more accurate, in fact, than when I followed the guidelines of more comprehensive (and excellent) texts like Christian Astrology or Anthony Louis' Horary Astrology Plain and Simple. Olivia Barclay's book is fine, too. But if you find DeLong's at a good price in a use bookstore, grab it! It contains everything you need to know to read horary charts accurately.
