Reading on the astrological linkages of Kabbalah.

The Kabbalah is Jewish metaphysics. By comparison to Vedic & Chinese metaphysics, astrology does not play a large role in Jewish mysticism, but it is there. Rabbis themselves have long been of two minds on the subject. For this reason efforts (well meaning) to find Biblical support for astrology must always produce ambiguous results. These books explore the connection between astrology & Jewish thought. The final book in the list is the question a group of French rabbis put to the leading leading rabbi of the day, and his response (he condemned astrology, but what else is new?).
