Astrological Psychology
Astrological psychology is a psychology that uses astrology as a diagnostic tool. It is fundamentally based on the psychological concepts of depth psychology but also on the ideas of humanistic psychology and transpersonal psychology. As for his conceptual model, what he comes closest to is the psychosynthesis of Roberto Assagioli.
Unlike most psychologies that start from pathological pictures, astrological psychology starts from a concept of organic human being, self-regulated and, therefore, subjectively healthy.
The central theme of the work of astrological psychology is precisely the search for the reasons why a person “feels sick”.
Huber Method
Astrological psychology teaching and counseling or therapeutic activities through astrological psychology have a very clear motivation: to increase the person’s learning capacity and stimulate their own thinking, avoiding offering them prefabricated recipes and solutions. In other words, it is about making available to the person an effective tool that helps them know themselves. Self-knowledge directly translates into more freedom, creativity and joy of life.
One of the most important characteristics of astrological psychology is the comprehensive approach to the problematic situation of the human being. This particularity is not only taken into account in the psychological conceptual model but also in the selection and use of specific astrological techniques.

Metodology and Technique
The methodology used by Astrological Psychology to facilitate the ultimate goal of self-knowledge is to maintain a “Non-Dual” conception, by which the perceived external reality is a reflection of the internal reality. The techniques chosen satisfy the basic requirement indicated so that all its parts harmonize in a complementary way with each other.
It is an integrated and complete method, although this does not mean that it is closed to new developments, observations and refinements.
Traditional astrology techniques have been left aside which, although from the logical point of view may be valid by themselves within the relevant interpretative framework, are not necessary and integrable within the totality of the proposed work methodology.

The discarded techniques are fundamentally prediction techniques, both classical and modern. These techniques, which undoubtedly work in a timely manner, usually formulate events as something that comes to us from the outside world, that is, they follow the dual conception of reality.
Astrological psychology holds that, in reality, the forces that determine how external events are subjectively perceived, experienced, valued, and responded to are the experiences or experiences of the inner world of the personality. These experiences of the inner world can be traced and understood using a technique called age progression.
The progression of age or age point is a kind of clock that starts at the time of the birth of the person and advances through the horoscope indicating how the person is interested in the different areas of his chart in the course of his life and how, in this way, It is shaping its character, in a continuous process of learning.
The selection of technical resources has also been considerably influenced by an important organizational requirement: simplification. One of the main features of the intellect of the human being today is logical-linear causal thinking that works in an essentially analytical way. This type of thinking tends to the decomposition of the whole into its parts, that is, to the concentration on the details and to the loss of the global vision.
The use of a large number of techniques does not solve the problems of interpretation: in fact, it complicates interpretation more. In astrology, it is often taught that an interpretation is correct only if it can be confirmed with several different techniques. Instead, the principle of astrological psychology is quite the opposite, considering that if several techniques are required to obtain clarity, it is an indicator that the means available in the primary astrological symbology have not been sufficiently exploited.
In this sense, in astrological psychology, the primary elements are clearly delimited: they are those mentioned by Ptolemy, which can be classified into four levels of the chart, aspects, planets, signs and houses.
The definitions of these elements are very precise and in the interpretation they are used in a very consistent way, always keeping in mind the existential level in question.

Bruno and Louise Huber
The methodology and set of techniques that are used today by Astrological Psychology, were initially researched and developed by Bruno and Louis Huber, founders of the A.P.I. acronym of the Astrologishes Psychologishes Institut in Adliswil, Switzerland (1962-2012).
Bruno and Louise Huber dedicated their lives to the research, development and application of Astrological Psychology. More than 50 years of intensive research focused on psychological counseling and therapy allowed Bruno and Louise Huber, among others, to structure a form of astrological psychology that offers a new way of interpreting a natal chart, examining and giving meaning to the levels of human life, from the central core of the psyche to the environment in which we live.
