I want to give my friend an astrology book for Christmas and would love some suggestions! He doesn't know anything about astrology, so I'm trying to find an introductory book that still goes in depth.

He's a Taurus with moon in pisces, venus in gemini, mars in libra, and I think virgo rising.

Does anyone with these placements know of a book with really good descriptions for them? Especially pisces moon for a man. My favourite sun sign descriptions are in Linda Goodman's book but that's just sun signs.

Linda Goodman's Sun Signs (but of course )

all kidding aside, She is an easy read, she's quite complimentary with her descriptions and if he is at all interested in Astrology this is as good of place as any to begin.

Barbriallen!

I thought about this overnight. There are around 10 'very-introductory' books that I owned or borrowed from library before.

BASED on "Virgo rising" (Pisces Desc/ Moon 6th or 7th House) I think this book might fit his (and your) introductory needs.

Also has uses past the point of introduction. This book will 'grow' with you-- on all kinds of levels.

It was one of my first books I bought after I established an interest in astrology.
I was so captured by his passion. There's hardly a time I don't cry when I read this book because his writing is so inspiring. There's a sense of the Beautiful in his connection to the Cosmos. Excites my innerVision.

I have his other books, except don't have the Soul-Centered Astrology one yet. (This is an esoteric system of astrology, different from Classical Astrology. The one you want is Classical, Barbriallen.)
Heh-heh, and ho! ho... I'm going to see if Santa might bring ME this one for Christmas... We'll see.

@Gemini Blues That sounds great! And by good, I suppose I just mean accurate. So yes, insightful, not superficial.

@mirage29 Thank you for your suggestions, and for taking the time to think about it. A very merry Christmas to you as well!

@Comatoes "This will open him up to the whole why and may help him feel more secure having a Pisces Moon." Exactly what I was hoping for!
