Trustees’ Notice (Issued December 2016)
It is with much regret that the APA trustees have concluded that the present method of delivery of the APA Foundation and Diploma courses is not sustainable in the long run. Our organisation is growing older and new energies are not coming forward to sustain the current approach into the future. We will therefore cease to offer enrolment on our tutored Diploma and Foundation courses as from the end of 2016, with the special exception that current Foundation Course students may enrol on the Diploma Course at a later date by special arrangement with their tutor. APA will continue to issue Diplomas/Certificates to those successfully completing their course by end of 2019.
If you want to be one of the last cohort of Diploma or Foundation Course students you must enrol on the course by 31st December.
As an alternative from early 2017, we plan to publish the Diploma and Foundation manuals as books, available to the general public through normal retail channels. To complement this, some of the current tutors will offer tutoring services to help individuals through the course, in a similar manner to the current approach. These services will be advertised on the APA website. APA will no longer issue Diplomas/Certificates to such students, but the tutor will issue a Certificate of Completion.
With these decisions we hope to ensure continued availability of the Hubers’ teachings for the foreseeable future.
This website and our magazine Conjunction continue to operate as normal, as does APA as a membership organisation, so please continue to renew your membership as usual.
Details of availability of the new books will be announced in January 2017.

Hello!
You do not know me because I am not a registered student. I did not come in contact with the Huber Method in time. I do have the books written by Bruno and Louise Huber, and I do have several books written by Joyce Hopewell. I am especially fond of the study material, published last year (Astrological Pyschology, The Huber Method).
Although I make good progress, I still do not understand one vital issue. I do hope you can explain this to me.
Human existence is made up of five layers, I get that. The central core, I get that. The aspect pattern is where my question is about. I cannot explain it to others, although I deep inside think how it works.
Our central core radiates energy, that energy is intercepted by the aspects between the planets. But how can that be our inner motivation? when there are no aspects between planets, the energy from the core is still there, and we still have an inner motivation. You see, I cannot even explain my question. To me it seems as though the planets, by their aspects, make your inner motivation, not the other way around.
Please enlighten me!
That’s a very good question, Klaaske. I’ll give it some thought, but maybe others might like to comment? Moderator.
On further thought, it seems to me that the relationships between planets (aspects or no aspects) lie at a deeper level of consciousness than the direct psychological drives represented by planets themselves. Note that there are usually at least some aspects between the planets using Huber orbs.
Thank you. I understand what you mean, although I cannot put it into words.
Hi Klaaske,
I’m not sure I understand the question you’re asking, however this is how I understand the function of the aspect pattern. I hope this helps.
The energy from our central core radiates out from our centre. It then ‘bumps into’ an aspect line (and aspect lines) of a certain quality that direct it to a planet in a particular area of life (house) where we have the potential to develop and acquire self-realisation. The aspect pattern created by this central core energy splitting to reach the various planets and areas (rather like white light being split into colours by a prism) can be read as our inner motivation. This pattern is otherwise not visible and remains an unconscious motivation. The aspects, of course, also show how one planet is modified by the other.
