Books by Michael Munkasey

Since the 1st edition of this book was published in 1991, it has been a widely used reference book for many astrologers and their students who have recognized the value and importance in horoscope interpretation of the midpoints--the halfway point between any two planets or a planet and a highly significant point such as Midheaven, Ascendant or the north or south Node of the Moon. The format of this edition is very similar to the first edition, but you will find that the author has updated the interpretive text, so do read it carefully...and if you have not used midpoints routinely before, you will soon realize how significant they can be in chart interpretation! Following are a few comments from well-known astrologers familiar with the first edition and midpoint techniques.

House Keywords and More... Keywords are crucial to accurate chart interpretation. They are how an astrologer can translate the astrological symbols into everyday lanauge. As an example, the fifth house represents children, creativity, romance, and sex. Michael Munkasey compiled this extensive, 400-page book on house keywords during decades of astrological practice. Keywords are listed by individual house, in alphabetic order, and by house category. Introductory material explains how to use keywords and astrological grammar, how to translate between astrology and English, the role of quandrants and hemispheres, and how to select a house system. Keywords are presented in many categories: horary, electional, things, places, psychological qualities, occupations, family members, mundane ideas, body parts, afflictions, diseases, colors, gems, minerals, animals, mythical figures, parts of an organization, parts of a ship, industry categories, health and fitness, parts of a house, and parts of an automobile. All of these make it easy to find the optimum keywords for chart intepretation.
