As a resource for thinking about prayer in general, the short, but quite dense, section from the Catechism of the Council of Trent "On Prayer" is a helpful resource: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_catechism_of_the_Council_of_Trent/Part_4
For the Rosary specifically, I would recommend St Louis de Montfort, The Secret of the Rosary--available in translation online at: https://www.ecatholic2000.com/montfort/rosary/rosary.shtml
(I've been finding the discussion of Levi to interact with this book somewhat--I probably should not be surprised, as they are both French Catholics, and only a century apart.)
In my personal experience, the Novena to Mary, Undoer of Knots (which is based on the Rosary with some added prayers and meditations) is remarkably effective, and works very well with the planetary hours (think about what the central need is so far as you can tell, and pray the Novena starting in the day and hour of the appropriate planet and each day in that planet's hour.) I'm not sure if that is prayer, or magical ritual--they blur together a bit for me in that case.
