    After 10 weeks of campaigning which took on very nasty tones from both leave and remain sides, the assassination by shooting and stabbing of MP Jo Cox in the street as she went to hold a surgery for her constituents, the apparent toning down of the nastiness and the coming together of people a week…

    It seems that the vote to take Britain out of the EU, is another expression of the base ego levels of Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn. Here we have the sentiments of pride, aggression, ‘me first’, competition, and so on. One of the most disturbing aspects was the big vote for Leave from…

    Richard’s notes on this once contentious aspect of astrological psychology were first published in an early version of Conjunction. If you’ve ever been caught out by a ‘traditional’ astrologer who challenges you on the issue of ‘the Hubers’ say Saturn is Mother’, don’t get caught out again! Remember that in the natal chart the Sun…

    This piece by former API tutor Wendy Oak first appeared in an early issue of Conjunction. When my Age Point crossed over Neptune shortly before my MC, I experienced a sublime dissolution of all that I thought I was, and became, briefly, part of a transpersonal understanding. It happened out of the blue when I…

    Bruno & Louise Huber explain the psychological significance of the horoscope and its five levels in this edited extract from ‘The Astrological Houses’, which was the first and foundational book in their series on astrological psychology. This is one of an occasional series of posts where we highlight some of the basics of astrological psychology…

    Bruno Huber summarises the three classical indicators of intelligence in the horoscope – Saturn, Mercury and Jupiter, in this extract from his book ‘Astrological Psychosynthesis’. This material was first published in German in 1981 under the title ‘Intelligenz im Horoskop’, and provides a good astrological-psychological background to the previous blog post ‘Why did I do…

    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…

    For some time now I’ve felt a bit lost and in a sort of in-between stage; a door in my life seemed to have closed and everything was on hold as if waiting for something new to emerge. Then on a recent trip to London I came across a book written by Amy Mindell called…

    This post by Wanda Smit is the first part of an article available in full to members in the APA Members’ Area. Victor Hugo – Poet, Peer, Exile Par Excellence Victor Hugo’s chart image resembles a boat firmly anchored in the collective sphere where most of Hugo’s planets reside.

    It’s good to see you back in the news after that terrible time in August 2006 when you were demoted from your status as a planet in our solar system by a group of scientists and astronomers who’d got together in Prague to do the deed. You were downgraded to a dwarf planet. That meant…

    Cats, dogs and astrology. How do they go together? Cats – if you own one, you’ll know about this – are not biddable. They come when you call only when they want to and not before. They are independent, sometimes aloof, and are definitely their “own person”. They call the shots. Their sense of self…

    The title of this very first post on our spanking new blog could refer to Uranus and Pluto, who edged into yet another exact square aspect on 21st April as they continue to reflect the the revolutionary changes taking place in the world. Alternatively, and possibly appropriately, this could also refer to the stand-off between…
