Aspect Pattern Astrology: A New Holistic Horoscope Interpretation Method

The Key to Psychological Chart Interpretation!

The pattern of the aspects in the birth chart reveals the structure of an individual’s consciousness, the key to understanding their hidden, often unconscious, motivation. It provides a valuable tool, both for understanding your own psyche and for using astrology to help others.

This approach to understanding of the psychology of the person through holistic interpretation of the horoscope was developed by Bruno, Louise and Michael Huber at the Astrological Psychology Institute (API) in Adliswil near Zurich, over many years of research, consultation and teaching work.

Already a classic since it was first published in English in 2005, this new revised edition has colour illustrations, enabling full appreciation of the power of this approach, where the colours in the chart are of great significance.

This book gives a systematic introduction to the practical use of this method, using many example horoscopes and diagrams. More than 45 distinct aspect figures are identified, each with a different meaning.

Whether you are an astrological novice or an experienced astrologer, aspect patterns can provide immediate significant revelations about yourself and other people.

This book is a basic reference work on astrological psychology – every serious student should have one!

November 29, 1930 - November 3, 1999Bruno Huber was a Swiss astrologer and psychologist. In 1968, with his wife, Louise Huber, he founded Astrological Psychology Institute, which became an internationally-renowned school of Astrology. It was run according to humanist and psychological principles, based on Dr. Roberto Assagioli's theory of Psychosynthesis. The school initially offered personal teaching, and then professional Diploma training from 1973. Huber schools were subsequently established in UK and Spain. The Hubers' teachings were gradually crystallised into books, which have subsequently been translated into many languages. Their holistic method of Astrological Psychology has a worldwide following.The young Bruno Huber had a voracious interest in astrology, psychology and philosophy, but became disillusioned with the practice of astrology at that time. In 1952 he met astrologer and esotericist Louise, discovering an immediate common bond. They married a year later and lived in the lively intellectual environment of Zürich.In 1956 they were involved with setting up a branch of the Arcane School in Geneva, giving a strong spiritual grounding to their subsequent work.In 1958, Bruno was invited to Roberto Assagioli's Psychosynthesis Institute in Florence, which led to the pair spending three years there assisting with running of the Institute and the documentation of Assagioli's psychosynthesis. During this period Bruno was able to perform extensive research into the horoscopes and psychological profiles of Assagioli's patients, and eventually he developed the revolutionary theories on horoscope interpretation that became the basis for Astrological Psychology, or Huber Astrology.Of particular note is the use of colour in the chart, the separation of the five levels of the chart, the significance of the aspect pattern as an indicator of motivation, the psychological interpretation of the houses, the energy intensity curve in the houses, the levels of operation of the planets and aspects, the Life Clock, the use of three charts including the House and Moon Node charts, the dynamic calculations, the use of spiritual indicators in the chart...In 1963 Bruno & Louise returned to Zürich. After a further period of exploration, in 1968, Bruno & Louise began to give seminars on the results of their researches, and the Astrological Psychology Institute was founded. A lively following soon developed in Zurich, and the teaching activities developed apace, going further afield in Switzerland and Germany, and then at international conferences, and in USA, UK, Spain and Brazil. By the early 2000s tens of thousands of students had been through the courses, and equivalent courses were available in Spain and in UK.By 1974 the need to crystallise the Huber teachings in books had become evident, a publishing company was formed, and a series of books gradually emerged; most have subsequently been published in English and in Spanish. The astrological psychology magazine Astrolog was established in 1981 and continues to this day.The Hubers were also heavily involved in organising and presenting at three-yearly World Astrology Conferences in Switzerland.In 1991 Bruno had a heart attack, which forced him to slow down somewhat. Although Bruno was still involved in teaching, their son Michael took on some of the load.In 1999 Bruno died, and the work was subsequently taken forward by Louise, Michael and a strong cohort of teachers who had been involved with API for many years.

Michael was the son of Bruno & Louise Huber and assisted in their researches and teaching, becoming more prominent after Bruno's illness and subsequent death. His work continued until API closed down in 2009.

After Bruno's heart attack in 1991, Louise carried on, assisted by son Michael. After Bruno's death Louise continued to lead the Institute until 2009, when, at the age of 85, she had to take a back seat; API closed down shortly thereafter, but the teachings seeded by Bruno & Louise go on in courses and books.
