It had to be them
This post was written by Pam Tyler, who was joint founder of APA in 1983. The Hubers rocked my world in 1978. The first time I heard them speak was in Atlanta at the American Federation of Astrologers Conference. I had come from London to sit for the AFA’s Teacher and Professional Certification exam. My…

Bruno Huber summarises the three classical indicators of intelligence in the horoscope – Saturn, Mercury and Jupiter, in this extract from his book ‘Astrological Psychosynthesis’.

Why did I do that?
I was recently asked why I had done something that was apparently rather ill-judged, and realised that I had no idea why. I had just done it. Of course, I could produce plausible reasons as to why I had done it, even try to justify it, and there might be an element of truth in…

You may have heard the phrase “keep it simple, stupid” (or K.I.S.S. as it is sometimes written in abbreviated form). Simplicity is one of the transpersonal qualities identified in Assagioli’s Psychosynthesis and it’s a quality which pervades Astrological Psychology.

Ryland Aspects
I have many times walked down Deansgate in central Manchester, England and admired the exterior of the grand Victorian gothic building that is the John Rylands Library, now part of the University of Manchester Library. It was only a few weeks ago that I first entered the building, on impulse while showing some French people…

Student perspective on an important book
This post by Tatyana Caidheann gives a student’s perspective on Sue Lewis’s recent book, amplifying the reviews that appeared in the recent issue of Conjunction. An important book that put the content of the diploma course into context for me. I was lucky enough to have Sue Lewis as a tutor throughout the Huber diploma…

Story Time
We’re in the middle of a UK General Election campaign, and it’s all about the story, or narrative. Who’s story do you believe: [list type=circle_list] “We inherited rubbish from the other lot and our plan has sorted it out. We had to do things you didn’t like and there was no point taxing the hard…
