A Professional and Highly Supportive Astrological System
The Huber system has over 50 years of research and a strong following. Learning the Huber method is a hands-on way to better understand yourself and the people around you. Whether you’re diving in for personal growth or aiming to build a career as a professional astrologer, or blended therapist, psychologist, or coach, this approach blends practical tools with psychological insights and a grounded sense of spiritual awareness, helping you grow and make meaningful connections to your inner and outer life.
I loved every minute of my Diploma in Huber Astrological Psychology. I learned a ton about myself and my partner's charts. I loved psychosynthesis so much that I enrolled in the Board Certified PLC program through the Synthesis Center after graduating, bringing psychosynthesis coaching into my Huber studies. If you're passionate about helping others and learning a robust, holistic astrology, then please reach out! I'd be happy to answer questions so you can make an informed decision.

To complete the Huber Astrological Psychosynthesis program, you will need a copy of the main course textbook, Astrological Psychology: The Huber Method. While there are many Huber astrology books to buy and enjoy, this is the main book for studies.
This book is available through most major bookstores with the following details:
Title: Astrological Psychology: The Huber Method
ISBN: 978-0-9956736-0-1 (2017)
Additionally, there are many other excellent Huber books available through various channels, including the APA and Hopewell Publishing: https://astrologicalpsychology.org/
To complete the diploma you will work through the Full Syllabus, below.
Cost per module is $320 CDN, taxes included.
Process / How We Work Together
You’ll work through each unit using the main textbook and send your reflections and responses to me as you go along. Beginning in Winter 2025, I’m also happy to use Google Classroom to organize course materials: extra resources, videos, PDFs, and more—so everything flows more smoothly. But we'll spend lots of time connected through email, too. It's a personal journey and I stay close and connected with you.
Studying astrology should be fun and insightful, full of joy and insights. There are no grades, and the curriculum is clear and well thought-out. You'll have fun and learn lots, both in terms of psychosynthesis and Huber astrology.
I’ll offer supportive, constructive feedback as we move through the diploma together. There are no grades here, and certainly no revisiting grade-8-math stress (and no math at all!). My goal is to meet you in your own learning style, at your own pace, and to support you in a way that helps you genuinely connect with the material.
The heart of this work is your own becoming: growing into the role of a Huber Astrological Psychosynthesis astrologer. And you’ll be fully supported every step of the way.
In-person / Google Meet
Generally speaking, we can meet every two modules (about 4 times), which gives us a chance to stay connected and work through examples you have and ask questions. This is completely optional but recommended. Most of the time, the process combines working at your own pace through email correspondence with personalized one-on-one sessions, creating a gentle yet effective learning experience.
Students consistently express how much they value their Huber studies, appreciating the time, patience, and presence invested in the journey.
As you engage with your own charts, you'll uncover deeper insights, discover hidden strengths, and experience transformative 'aha' moments. This process invites you to reimagine new ways of being, embracing a psychosynthesis approach to life that transcends simple dualities and polarities.
Many of my students are already therapists, coaches, or astrologers. They seek to master the gilt-edged Huber astrological psychosynthesis method, not only to deepen their own self-awareness but also to support their clients with authenticity and effectiveness.
You'll work with three main charts throughout the diploma -- yours, mine, and a partner's of your chosing (or friend). This gives a rich experience to your studies! Once you start please send me the birth times of you and your friend. I'll package up the charts, including mine.
I use Regulus Huber Professional Platinum from Cathar Software https://catharastrologysoftware.com/. Juan Saba is a great support and I find his software speeds things up and makes Huber very accessible, especially with the ability to isolate aspect figures, etc. There is a student version and a professional version -- if you want to save money on the student version you can upgrade to professional later. Juan can clarify, but it's a simple process that saves a bit of upfront $$.
- Alternatively, you can use astro.com to create Huber charts, which works too (under extended charts select Huber Style and make sure you use Koch houses).
There is also Astro-nex which is quite inexpensive, by donation, and works quite well. https://www.astro-nex.net/index-en.html
