16 reasons for the AstroPolarity training
From beginner to counsellor
Even astrology beginners have the necessary knowledge after this training to give competent, serious and profound consultations as an astrologer.
Much that is new, even for professionals
Not only do astrology beginners gain extensive astrological knowledge from the training – experienced astrologers also learn a great deal that is new.

A tool for daily practice
Through astro-medicine and astrology with a depth-psychological orientation, counsellors, doctors, psychologists, therapists … also gain a precise and time-saving diagnostic tool for their daily practice.
Clear answers
AstroPolarity teaching (APL) enables you to find clear answers to all areas of life in a birth chart.
Everything essential
You learn everything essential about elements, quadrants, aspects, constellations, interpretation, prognostics and astrological medicine in order to analyse birth charts quickly and competently.
Tracing the true causes
You learn what a problem or a question is really about, which true causes lie behind it and which solutions a birth chart points to.
Interpreting the causes of symptoms
After the astrology training you can interpret the personal causes of physical symptoms and psychological problems and determine the individual ways to resolve them.
No time limits
You decide for yourself when, where and how you learn in this distance training – so you set your own learning rhythm and the length of your astrology training.
Everything at once
Immediately after ordering the distance course you have access to the entire training content – you do not receive it “bit by bit”.
Listen and watch
The knowledge is taught through audio files and videos, among other things – for you this means more pleasant learning, better results, and you decide yourself where you acquire the knowledge.
On tablet and smartphone
You can also listen to and watch the content of the astrology training on your tablet and smartphone.
Even without internet
You can download all content and thus acquire the astrological knowledge without an internet connection (optionally, you can also receive all content on a USB stick).
Exam optional
There is no obligation to take an exam: you decide for yourself whether and when you would like to take one – and you take it at home.
State-supervised
This astrology distance training is registered with and supervised by the German State Central Office for Distance Learning (ZFU), Cologne, under § 12 of the Distance Learning Protection Act (FernUSG), No. II/162.
Best value for money
In the German-speaking world there is no astrology training with better value for money.
AstroPolarity teaching
For four decades, AstroPolarity teaching (APL) has stood for an independent school of astrology that is holistic in the truest sense of the word. AstroPolarity is astrology in a unique form – with a depth-psychological, systemic and spiritual foundation. In method and content, AstroPolarity differs fundamentally from conventional classical astrology, from purely psychologically oriented astrology and also from Vedic and Chinese astrology.
Proven astrological knowledge combined with the latest findings from astrological, depth-psychological, philosophical and systemic research and related fields: with AstroPolarity you get – like several thousand graduates over more than three decades – not “the usual”, but “new astrology in a unique form”

“Creative reduction”
AstroPolarity captures the human being as a whole, against the background of their life story and their current living environment, in the widest possible context. Despite – or rather precisely because of – its thematic variety and interdisciplinary orientation, so-called “creative reduction” is a guiding principle.
As a kind of “Zen astrology”, AstroPolarity impresses with incomparable …
- methodical clarity
- directly comprehensible statements
- unrivalled depth of insight
- precise statements on any topic
- a power that conveys security
- inner calm that builds trust
- solution impulses that foster development
- a directly tangible closeness to real life
Not only hobby and professional astrologers benefit from this in their work, but also
- counsellors and coaches
- trainers
- doctors
- naturopaths
- therapists
- psychologists
Your benefit
Your benefit from this shows in a particularly high level of interdisciplinary professional confidence and counselling competence as an astrologer – not only in “standard consultations”, but also and especially with people in physical, emotional or mental emergencies or extreme situations. Of course, this also applies if you bring your astrological expertise into another profession, for example as a teacher, psychologist, counsellor, pastoral carer, alternative practitioner or doctor.
All APL training courses are designed to give you a practical way to achieve a high-quality and recognised qualification in this special astrological method of insight – alongside your job or privately, and within a manageable time. Through the differentiated analysis of birth charts, the courses will give you access to previously unknown information that will be of the greatest benefit privately – and possibly also in your professional work.

- decades of teaching experience since 1981
- a mature, well-developed and lively teaching concept without ballast
- expertise that conventional astrology trainings cannot offer

Support and examination
The AstroPolarity distance school (www.astropolarity.de) of Peter-Johannes Hensel offers you the following support – all offers are voluntary, so there is no obligation to use them.

On Facebook there is the group “AstroPolarity” – only buyers of the APL training are admitted as members. More than 500 students are currently registered there, and there is a lively exchange between “beginners” and fully trained APL counsellors.
We are truly no fans of Facebook, but for this group it is a good platform. Some members have only signed up to Facebook because of this group – and there is no obligation to register with your real name.

The e-mail support is paid once and then applies to your entire period of study – so there is no time limit.
