Dank der bewahrten Verbindung von Forschung und Lehre werden unsere Hochschullehrbiicher in der Regel von Wissenschaftlern geschrieben, welche auf dem von ihnen bearbeiteten Gebiet als Forscher fiihrend hervor- getreten sind. Natiirlich kann in unserem Zeitalter, das trotz aller Rufe nach Synthese in der Naturforschung zwangslaufig zu immer weiterer Spezialisierung gedrangt wird, dieser Satz nicht dahin verstanden werden, daB der Verfasser eines Lehrbuches auch in aIle von ihm dargestellten Teil- fragen eigene Einblicke haben kann. Trotzdem darf es wohl als auffallig bezeichnet werden, daB von den Verfassern unserer deutschen Hochschul- lehrbiicher der Allgemeinen Botanik nur noch HABERLANDTs langjahriger Mitarbeiter v. GUTTENBERG als Pflanzenanatom gelten kann, wahrend sich fast aIle anderen ihren wissenschaftlichen Ruf als Physiologen erworben 1 haben . Wohl hat das groBe Gebiet der Pflanzenanatomie im Hochschul- unterricht ahnlich wie die Systematik seine traditionelle grundlegende Stellung bewahrt, es wird aber fast nur noch von Botanikern gelehrt, die auf diesem Gebiete nicht mehr selbst schopGBPerisch tatig sind, sondern in der Hauptsache das ererbte Lehrgut von DE BARY und HABERLANDT weiter- reichen. Das hangt natiirlich damit zusammen, daB die mit den damaligen Hilfs- mitteln leichter zugangliche Anatomie im Laufe des 19. Jahrhunderts einen solchen Vorsprung vor der Physiologie erreicht hatte, daB sie um die J ahrhundertwende als relativ abgeschlossen gelten konnte und sich eine ganze Generation von Forschern den unbestreitbar groBeren Aufgaben auf physiologischem Gebiete zuwandte.

A psychological view of ourselves and our world. This is a revised version of the classic book by Bruno & Louise Huber, first issued as 'Man and His World' in 1978. A thorough understanding of the houses is essential for psychological analysis of the horoscope because the houses establish the actual framework of individual personality and relationship to the environment. Unlike earlier approaches, the twelve houses are considered not as a classic space structure but as dynamic developmental tendencies that result from the combination of crosses (modes) and temperaments (elements). This book shows how the houses relate to ourselves and to our life experience in the world. Of interest to the practicing astrologer, psychological consultant and those seeking self-awareness.

Astrological Psychology in Practice. Bruno and Louise Huber are well known as founders of their system of astrological psychology, combining the best of astrology, depth psychology and discoveries from their own researches. In 1964 they founded the Astrological Psychology Institute (API) in Zurich, and devoted their lives to counselling, teaching and further research into this approach. Since then over ten thousand students have been trained with API, many achieving the Institute's professional Diploma. The Hubers' essential teachings are now mostly documented in English in eight volumes, and English-language Foundation and Diploma Courses have been provided by API(UK) since 1983. However, there is now a substantial body of experience and knowledge in the use of the 'Huber Method' in the German-speaking world that is not easily accessible to most English speakers. Much of this experience is documented in the bi-monthly German-language magazine AstroLog, established in 1981. Each of its now-over-150 issues contains articles by contributors including the Hubers, API teachers, students and Diploma holders, many of whom are professionals in other disciplines. Subjects include amplification of aspects of the Huber Method, new ideas and research, practical experience, links with other disciplines, case studies etc. Thanks to a kind bequest from Agnes Shellens, we have been able to translate some of the best articles for publication in English. This first volume contains a selection grouped under four categories: 'Astrological Psychology', 'Life and Meaning', 'Age Progression' and 'Growth and Transformation'.

This book represents the culmination of many years of research and teaching in the life work of Bruno and Louise Huber, well known as founders of the Astrological Psychology Institute in Zrich. This is the last of the eight volumes on their system of astrological psychology to be fully translated into English. From their researches the Hubers found that the causes of psychological problems are more often uncovered through the effort of spiritual development than through handling everyday conflicts. In this book they describe the related processes of transformation as natural stages in human development. This is concerned not only with the personal stages of development through life, but with the evolution of humanity and the whole universe. It involves the expansion of consciousness of micro- and macrocosm. It brings about meaningful and spiritual growth, which each person can joyfully and confidently undertake. Parts of this work have previously been published by Samuel Weiser under the title 'Astrology and the Spiritual Path', the translation of an earlier book by the Hubers. The present volume includes significant new material, notably in the areas of the Dynamic Quadrants, Stress Planets, the House Chart, and the Integration Chart.

Astrological psychosynthesis is a holistic approach to astrology, bringing not only greater self-understanding but also growth in consciousness. Based on the work of Roberto Assagioli, the founder of psychosynthesis, it follows the premise that every human being has a soul-a higher self-which is at the root of all developmental processes. Astrological psychosynthesis aims to help people to find their own true self and work consciously towards integration and wholeness. The horoscope is used not just as an analytical tool, but also as an instrument to enhance the process of self-realization and transformation. The book is divided into three parts, showing how factors in the horoscope relate to our intelligence, to the integration of our personality, and to our love, sexuality and relationships. The middle part introduces Bruno Huber's model of the 'amphora' or 'bottle', illustrating the role of the planets in our psychological and spiritual growth processes. After a period of collaboration with Assagioli in the late 1950s, Bruno Huber and his wife Louise devoted their lives to developing and teaching the principles of their system of astrological psychology, now well-known in many countries. We are pleased to make available this revised version of Astrological Psychosynthesis. Previous editions have been found by many to provide a compelling introduction to the Hubers' approach.

LifeClock is perhaps what most captures the imagination of those new to the work of Bruno and Louise Huber. The horoscope is seen as a clock for the person's lifetime, with the Age Point indicating their age as the 'time' on the clock. Those trying it for themselves invariably find significant correspondences between indications in their birth chart and psychological crises and other meaningful events in their lives. This deepens self-understanding and provides impetus and insight to their psychological and spiritual growth. The effectiveness and value of this surprisingly simple approach to astrological timing is repeatedly confirmed. Counsellors and others in the helping professions find this a powerful tool, helping them to quickly identify the psychological sources of a client's problems. We are delighted to make available this integrated edition of LifeClock, incorporating the two separate volumes originally published by Weiser in 1982-6. This is one of eight volumes by the Hubers covering astrological psychology, a powerful combination of astrology with modern psychological understanding pioneered by them and recognised as the Huber Method. LifeClock contains an appendix introducing this approach, so is easily accessible to those unfamiliar with it. Essential material for all students of astrological psychology and the Huber Method

Linking astrology with the seven rays enables people to recognise their own deepest qualities. According to the ageless wisdom, the seven rays are cosmic streams of energy that pervade all life on earth. Astrology and the Seven Rays introduces the psychological application of the rays, giving insights that could not otherwise be obtained from the astrological chart. Bruno Huber discovered a new method that can be used by both specialist and layman to determine the rays in the individual horoscope. This enables you to find your own personal ray combination, and those of others. Astrology and the Seven Rays opens up a new approach to esoteric psychology and esoteric astrology, and provides insight into the process of spiritual development. Bruno and Louise Huber have taught a new dynamic direction of astrology for over thirty years, reflected in their series of eight books on astrological psychology. Their work was grounded in the esoteric teaching of Alice Bailey and in the psychosynthesis of Roberto Assagioli. They are founders of the internationally known Swiss school of astrological psychology in Zurich. The text is an edited transcript of an inspirational seminar given by the Hubers in England in 1998, supplemented with some new material. It represents the fruit of a lifelong dedication to the synthesis of spiritual, psychological and astrological understanding. A ground breaking work for the new age.

The Planets and their Psychological Meaning Bruno and Louise Huber show how the positions of the planets are fundamental to interpretation of the horoscope. They represent basic archetypal qualities that are present in everyone, and give clues to our psychological abilities and characteristics, and to our growth and spiritual development. This book completes the set of eight volumes available in the English language describing the Hubers' original and practical approach to astrological psychology. The Huber Method was researched and developed at the Astrological Psychology Institute (API) in Adliswil near Zurich over many years of consultation and teaching work. A valuable reference work on astrological psychology - every serious student should have one!

One of eight volumes in the Hubers' well-known series of books on astrological psychology. Moon Node Astrology combines depth psychology, astrology and reincarnation to bring a new focus on the shadow personality and the evolutionary process of the individual. Explains the scientific background and the psychological approach used with the nodes and the moon node chart. Also covers the relationship with esotericism and the ideas of Alice Bailey, explaining how earlier lives are shown in the aspect structure and house positions of planets in the nodal chart. Examples are given of working with the 'three charts' - nodal, natal and house - in helping to understand where the client has come from, where they are now, and where they are going. First published in English in 1995.
