What did you do during the first big lockdown on 2019?
Unexpectedly,
along with my other half Barry as co-author, I researched and helped
compile a biography of Bruno and Louse Huber, pioneers of the Huber
Method of Astrological Psychology. You can hear how we came to do it by clicking here to see this short video (on my astrological psychology blog). We launched the book on 10th
November 2020.
This
non-predictive use of astrology combined together with psychology is
now used worldwide as an astrological psychological tool to help people
realise their own potential and, ultimately, contribute to making the
world a bit better than it is right now.
The
Huber's story is a fascinating, real-life one, and tells of the
obstacles they had to overcome, the sacrifices they had to make and the
determination they had to hold on with in order to realise their vision
of doing something for humanity.
It
wasn't easy, but these two were people were very special, driven and
motivated beyond personal gain and in pursuit of more spiritual goals
and the evolution of humankind. They were influenced and helped by
Italian psychiatrist Roberto Assagioli, who founded Psychosynthesis, and
they founded the Astrological Psychology Institute in Zurich in the
early 1960s.

You don't need to know any astrology to enjoy it as it's an intriguing stand-alone read, but if you do understand some astrology you'll probably get a lot more from it - and if you don't know any astrology it might inspire to find out more. The photos and the few charts it contains are all in full colour.
Piercing the Eggshell is available from all good booksellers, from Amazon and from the APA Book Shop.
Fascinating Biography - "Piercing the Eggshell" reviewed by Will Parfitt
If you are an astrologer I would think this book is a must, even if you don't follow the Huber style of astrology; the story of how the Hubers created this new, very workable approach is interesting even to a non-astrologer like myself.
Better still, for astrologers and non-astrologers, this is a tale of two people's indomitable will to create a new psychological science using astrological connections to include and raise consciousness to a deeper spiritual connection. A fascinating and most unusual biography, very interestingly illustrated with relevant photos.
I was particularly interested in the influence of Roberto Assagioli and Psychosynthesis on their work and the development of Huber astrology, and how whilst he fully supported them in their explorations, even giving Bruno Huber access to all his client notes, they worked hard to collate, edit and where necessary translate his writings into what became the key work in the Psychosynthesis world.
