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…
It is nearly 1 year since the Astrological Psychology Association closed its books and ceased trading. What is now the state of Huber Astrology (or Astrological Psychology) in the English-speaking world in these times of increasingly turbulent change?

I recently reread Bruno and Louise Huber’s book Life Clock, which struck me anew as being quite remarkable, with profound implications. The Life Clock or Age Progression was extensively researched by Bruno and Louise in collaboration with Roberto Assagioli, the founder of the transpersonal psychology of Psychosynthesis, and founded on the spiritual principles of the…
Age progression is a relatively new and simple approach to the use astrology in understanding psychological crises and periods of growth throughout our lives. And it’s not predictive – far from it. The approach presented in the Huber’s definitive book on the subject can be used even by beginners to gain a better understanding of…

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.

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…
Bruno & Louise Huber were pioneers in the use of colour in astrology. This piece is an extract from Chapter 8 of their book Transformation: Astrology as a Spiritual Path.

It was first published in ‘Astrolog’ Issue 36, February 1987. Many years of observation have shown that a certain place in the zodiac has something…
