    Telling the Huber Story

    While I was a Foundation Course student in the mid-late 1990s, I attended several seminars held by Bruno & Louise Huber, in England, Spain and Switzerland, culminating in the Seven Rays seminar of 1998. It was here that I became aware of the full depth of the Hubers’ understanding of psychology and spirituality, and it…

    Huber questions answered?

    The development of astrological psychology by Bruno & Louise Huber was a revolutionary combination of astrology with depth psychology and spirituality. How and why were the young Bruno & Louise inspired to dedicate their lives to this endeavour? What and who were the key influences in the world they grew up in that led them…

  • Polarity – Balance and Synthesis

    Polarity – Balance and Synthesis

    I recently came across a free pdf in the Psychosynthesis Centre: Balancing and Synthesis of the Opposites by psychologist Roberto Assagioli, one-time mentor of Bruno Huber. Quotes are from that document. Polarity is a universal fact; it is inherent in cosmic manifestation… From the very moment that cosmic manifestation begins to unfold, duality is born.…

  • Capricorn in Focus

    Capricorn in Focus

    I was particularly struck by these words by Simon Marlow, from the World Goodwill report of his talk at the recent full moon meeting for Capricorn 10 January 2020 at 19:21GMT: “There are two distinct yet interrelated qualities to Capricorn. On the one hand this sign symbolises and promotes the deepest involvement in the material…

  • Colour Charts in Books

    Colour Charts in Books

    We all know that colour is an essential feature of astrological psychology, and it gives immediate meaning to the Huber-style birth chart. In the early days of the English Huber School, charts were hand-drawn with coloured pens. Then along came computers to help the process, and many charts were of necessity black-and-white. Of course, this…

    APA coming up to the DC

    What could the future have in store for APA? Does its foundation chart tell us anything? It is now over 35 years since the enterprise of introducing astrological psychology to the English-speaking world was embarked upon by Richard Llewellyn and Pamela Tyler in a Knightsbridge pub. Those years are documented in various places, including a…

  • What is a Cosmic Egg Timer?

    What is a Cosmic Egg Timer?

    The publisher HopeWell has just published the third edition of the book The Cosmic Egg Timer: Introducing Astrological Psychology. This is generally considered to provide the best introduction to this subject, and now has full colour illustrations. But note that, as the editor I’m biased. I hear some of you say “what on earth is…

  • Post materialistic psychology

    Post materialistic psychology

    David Lorimer’s (and others’) reviews in Paradigm Explorer (new name for the magazine of the Scientific and Medical Network) are always worth reading. You get an impression of far more current books than you could ever read. I was particularly struck by David’s review of The Oxford Handbook of Psychology and Spirituality, edited by Lisa…
