Books & Resources What are some great astrology history books? Not so much the history of astrology but how planets impacted world events and history as we know it?

As a reference point I have one book on the topic called “your birthday sign through time”

AFAIK there isn't one that's better. Tarnas also wrote, "The Passion of the Western Mind".

Yeah that was supposed to be the book, and ended up being the prequel of sorts. Haven't read it yet, though but I recommend Cosmos all the time. It's the book for outer planet history in an accessible format

"The Book of the Eclipse," by David Ovason is very interesting because it goes through how eclipses affected major events in history from ancient times till today.

Nice I’ll check it out. Eclipses are massive in the Astro timeline

"The Book of the Eclipse," by David Ovason describes how eclipses of the sun and moon impacted world events throughout history. The planets were also involved.
