With the horoscope (cosmogram), astrological psychology offers a representation of psychological dispositions and developmental relationships. This makes it an excellent diagnostic tool for the human psyche and an instrument for the development of projects.
At the EAAP we work according to the method of Bruno and Louise Huber and have developed it further according to modern psychological and transpersonal findings.
In our basic course, we teach in a competence-oriented way, which means that you integrate your existing knowledge from other specialist areas and your life experience into the topics offered in astrological psychology. In this way, you will learn efficiently and analyze cosmograms from the perspective of astrological psychology after just 9 course units.
Recognizing and working with the predispositions depicted in the natal cosmogram and the resulting psychological attitudes releases positive energies that can be put into practice immediately in everyday life. You will get to know yourself better and thus focus your behavior better on your goals and desires. You will better understand the behavior and motivations of other people.
Curriculum of our basic courses
G1 - Introductory course 1st part (taster course)
This course introduces the horoscope as a working tool of astrological psychology. You will learn about the 5 layers of the horoscope, its building blocks and its structure with the 3 basic energy directions. The 4 elements as temperaments and the functional types according to C.G. Jung are discussed. We also teach you the division of space in the horoscope, which is then completed with the house system in basic course 2. The 8 planets as well as the sun and moon are introduced as functional organs of the psyche.
Module I
G2 - Introductory course 2nd part
In this course you will learn about the zodiac and its relationship to the constellations. We will explain the qualities of the individual signs of the zodiac as our psychological dispositions and show you the analogies to the earthly reference system of the astrological houses, the areas of life in our environment. You will now discover the interplay of the different levels in the horoscope.
G3 - The astrological aspects and the aspect picture
This course introduces the angular connections between the planets as aspects. You will learn their assignment to the three motivations and experience their colors as an inner control of the psyche. The connection of individual aspects to aspect pictures is also taught. You will learn how to read the basic, personal life motivation in these. The construction of aspect figures is shown and the reading of the figures in their psychological interpretation is taught. With this knowledge, you will be able to work independently with specialist literature.

The dynamics of the house system are introduced. Extroverted and introverted positions of the planets are discussed. The golden ratio as a component of the psyche is made visible in the intensity curve of the individual houses. You will learn about the areas of tension between the zodiac signs as a disposition and the houses as an environmental requirement and possible solutions. The ascendant is explained as the figurehead of the personality and as an inner goal in life. The lunar node is explained as a solution to conflicts and as a guide to holistic development.

G5 - Personality and the different ways of thinking
This course deals with the three levels of personality based on the Sun, Moon and Saturn. We explain the interplay of the three personality factors as an integration process. Various stages of personality development are also discussed. The personality planets are assigned to different types of thinking. Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn are introduced as intelligence planets and the differences in the way the ability to learn is visualized in the horoscope. You will also learn about different models of consciousness, including a superconscious level. These are assigned to the three spiritual planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
G6 - Developmental psychology
The life clock in the horoscope - age progression - is introduced. This is used both in biography work and in determining your current position. We show you how to recognize youthful characteristics. You will see introverted and extroverted periods as well as natural development and crisis processes in the horoscope. The age progression provides a personal, holistic overview of a person's development.
G7 - Environmental influence, conditioning and contact behavior in the horoscope
This course introduces the house horoscope. The house horoscope shows the influence of the environment and conditioning. A comparison with the basic horoscope is explained. The planets Moon, Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Neptune represent contact and relationship behavior with their position in the horoscope. The desire for contact, eroticism and sexuality are recorded astrologically. Using the participants' horoscopes, we explain the Huber family model with its various attachment patterns. The topic is rounded off with the contact layer diagram.
G8 - The lunar node astrology
The lunar node chart is introduced for working with the shadow personality. For this purpose, the layering of the psyche is presented with a diagram based on C.G. Jung. The lunar node chart identifies unconscious dispositions and abilities. It also shows outdated behavioral patterns that have an inhibiting effect in the current life. A comparison with the basic horoscope reveals possible solutions. Ascending and descending lunar nodes and their axis are discussed as a pendulum movement between old abilities and new development challenges.
