A Professional and Empowering 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, 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. - Mark
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/
The main textbook is The Huber Method, above. This will serve as 85% of the course content and there are many Huber books you can optionally buy along with various pdf articles and audio/video I will send you.
To complete the diploma you will work through the Full Syllabus, below. Please note there are 7 modules we will officially cover (1-7, skipping module 8). In unit 6 we no longer cover rectification as part of the diploma, either.
Cost per module is $320 CDN, taxes included, but for module 6 the cost is $200. So, six modules * $320 is $1920 plus module six $200 = a total of $2120 CDN. You can pay as you go, per module. I'll send an electronic payment link.
Process / How We Work Together
For each module I will send out questions for each unit. Using the main textbook you'll work through the unit and send back answers. I'll send supportive feedback as we we ave a thread through the diploma. Please note there are no "grades" or reliving of grade 8 math class trauma (there's no math!). I'm easy to work with and I'm a very good teacher. You'll be supported in your best style and in a manner that allows you to connect with the material and the becoming process of stepping into a Huber Astrological Psychosynthesis astrologer.
In-person at the end of each module
At the end of each module we can connect in-person, or through Zoom (usually 1.5-2 hours) and recap any fuzzy bits, and work through any questions you have.
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.
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
