Nothing really tops the ToZ astrology section.
Explore, read everything that catches your interest. I enjoyed the psychological astrology seminars(book series) with Liz Greene and Howard Sasportas. It interprets astrology through a jungian lens, but keep in mind that Liz Greene is jewish so some of that creeps into her work. Sasportas has interesting books.
Do searches on the forum, I think HPS Maxine and HPS Lydia have recommended books in the past.
