We are grateful to our friends at IFAP in their August 2023 newsletter, and to the DeepL Translator, for the following description of Michael Huber’s contribution to API and astrological psychology. These things were not very visible to us here in the UK. The piece is written by Angelica Kraft, one of the Astrolog editorial…
As the UK and many loyal subjects gear up for the coronation of King Charles III, I’ve revisited the blog post I wrote about his chart on the occasion of his 60th birthday. That was some time ago – he is now 74 – and he’s about to officially embark on a new job on…
In these extracts from the Huber biography Piercing the Eggshell, Bruno Huber tells the story of his first visit to Roberto Assagioli and Florence, and the subsequent period of time he and Louise spent working there, which resulted in their system of astrological psychology. “In the early spring of 1958… I was hit by a…
Not until my mid-fifties did I understand why I so often had the urge to travel. It was then that I studied Astrological Psychology which answered my question: with Jupiter conjunct the North Node on my Ascendant, it was the path to follow for my soul’s journey. Jupiter is in Pisces and as my Age…
A look at the relationship between Roberto Assagioli, founding father of psychosynthesis, and astrology, by psychosynthesis psychotherapist and author Will Parfitt, first published on 28 November 2022 by The Psychosynthesis Trust.

On Tuesday 10th May 2022 Prince Charles stood in for the Queen at the state opening of Parliament and read, on her behalf, the overview of what the government plans to achieve in the forthcoming parliamentary session.

In looking into Putin’s birth chart, the first thing I noticed was his South Node was conjunct Pluto. Although the Nodes have no energy as do the planets, they are very important points in any birth chart. They hold much information of your past and future and it’s so beneficial to really understand them. I…
Ever since I discovered Astrological Psychology and what the Large Talent Triangle represents, I have been wondering what my talent is – my real talent – with Uranus in Cancer in the 4th house, the Moon in Scorpio in the 8th house and the Sun on a low point in Pisces in the 12th house.…
This topical post is reproduced from Joyce’s blog, gathering two earlier analyses of features of Vladimir Putin’s chart. This interpretation of Putin’s chart was written by fellow astrologer David Kerr in 2014. I am including it here, with David as guest author, in view of the current situation between Russia and Ukraine and the threat…

This post is from Joyce’s blog, a chart interpretation and edited extract from her book “Using Age Progression” Fred Astaire was born Frederick Austerlitz on 10.5.1899 at 21.16 local time in Omaha, Nebraska USA, the son of an American born mother and an Austrian father. His chart reminds me of a see-saw or swing boat…
I recently watched a documentary on Yves Saint Laurent and wondered why he seemed ‘not present’. Surely the French fashion designer who is regarded as being among the foremost fashion designers of the twentieth century should not be so ‘absent’ when his models are on the catwalk? Then I discovered that he abused both alcohol and…
Gustav Klimt, an Austrian symbolist painter, is not only known for his paintings, but also for his murals, sketches and other objets d’art. In the Artist Context series of books – GUSTAV KLIMT – its writer Frank Whitford quotes Klimt as saying: “Whoever wants to know something about me – as an artist, the only…
Wanda continues her reflections on her life experiences related to age point aspects to Jupiter in her chart. See also part 1. My Age Point was now wandering through the 3rd quadrant of Thinking which kept me wondering about everything I had done up to then, without thinking. In 1992 a few months before the…
Wanda Smit reflects on the strong Jupiter on the ascendant of her chart, and relates her life experiences to this, particularly through the age point aspects.
