Centaur Nessus Ephemeris: 1900-2050

Product Information

Melanie Reinhart: Chiron and the Centaurs (from Sue Tompkins' book 'The Contemporary Astrologer's Handbook') Retrograde planets are marked with a red Rx symbol. The D symbol will appear when that same planet turns direct, but won’t appear otherwise–a planet is assumed to be direct unless it’s marked with an Rx symbol. These webinars explore the themes of Pholus and Nessus through mythology, astronomy and astrology. Each Centaur’s personal meaning is most readily appreciated as a process within the soul, activated by transits, which will be demonstrated with examples. The lower middle table shows the lunar sign ingresses (or Moon sign changes). Note that these are separate from planetary ingresses due to the frequency that the Moon changes signs (approximately every 2.5 days!). The void Moon times are also displayed.

This 2-part webinar series will explore the Centaur objects Pholus and Nessus. The Centaurs are a subgroup of Minor Planets which show astronomical characteristics similar to Chiron. Like Chiron, most Centaur orbits cross over the pathways of at least one of the planets from Saturn outwards. This threshold crossing process symbolises the bringing of light to the usually invisible Underworld processes within the soul that underpin, accompany, bridge and complement our journey of healing and awakening. Indeed, they have a symbolic and astronomical relationship to Pluto, which will be described. The centaurs probably originate from the Kuiper Belt which lies beyond the orbits of Neptune and Pluto. Whether or not this group of planets will become firmly established within astrology is still open to question. Some astrologers fear that the continual increase in horoscope factors could end up distracting attention from the more essential elements in the horoscope. And whereas Chiron has become fairly widely accepted, Pholus and Nessus have remained in relative obscurity. In mythology the centaurs' form by itself already reveals an important aspect of what they symbolise, namely the conflict of mind, reason and wisdom on the one hand and animalistic drive, rampancy and daring on the other. Most of the centaurs gave in to their animal instincts. They loved using alcohol to get intoxicated, Eighteen planetoids have been discovered since 1977, but only a few have been named after mythological centaurs, including Chiron, Pholus and Nessus.Like in the movie "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" (1991), where the T-1000 can adopt the form of the people he touches, Pholus can identify with another person by empathy (Neptune) and cystallize (Saturn) in its own personality or in other individual, like John Connor teaching the T-800 to be more human in the movie "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" (1991).

his own death. Intriguing that when Chiron was discovered, scientists began to find out the functions of a protein called Ubiquitin, which seems to start the process of cell-death. But it was not until Pholus' discovery that the term Apoptosis burst into the medical lexicon.Pholus was discovered in 1992 and its 90-year orbit crosses over that of Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Its terrain of reference may include both the realms of intrauterine life, and also the ancestral domain, as well as oracular speaking. The recent squares of Chiron and Pholus (2015-2024) will be included as one of the astrological signatures of these last tumultuous years, including the pandemic. were hot-headed and raped or started brawls. This moral conduct caused them to have many enemies, none more so than Heracles who killed many of them.

Pholus awakes the need to impose limits (Saturn) while investigating the paranormal energies (Neptune), like in the TV Serie "X-Files" (1992). Also, between reality and fiction, like in the movie "Basic Instinct" (1992)." In the lower right table of the ephemeris under the title, “Lunar Phases & Eclipses,” lists the lunar phases (New, First Quarter, Full, and Last Quarter) dates, times, and zodiacal positions. If there is a Solar or Lunar eclipse in that particular month, you’ll find its date and positions in this table, below the lunar phases. Otherwise, you can assume there isn’t an eclipse that month (eclipses occur in sets approximately every 5-6 months). The lower left table shows sign changes and retrograde/direct activity. First, sign changes are displayed in the table under the ephemeris under the title “Ingresses.” Second, the “Stations” section shows planets and precise dates and times when they change direction, either retrograde (marked with an Rx) or direct (marked with a D). These appear only if there is a directional change. Next to the...possible bridge-function between asteroids and comets or/and as precursors to comets, observation of the centaurs has shown that they share the following characteristics: The orbital path is also relatively unstable due to the often close proximity to the giant gas planets (in particular Saturn). Over a period of millions of years, the centaurs will be moving to different orbits or leaving the Solar System altogether.Following these, Zane explores Chiron from almost every conceivable angle. Guides, Gurus and Healers explores this body in the charts of a number of medical professionals that have changed the way we look at the healing arts, as well as those counselors who call themselves Astrologers. Chiron Myth - The Wounded Healer digs deep into the mythology of Chiron. Zane looks at what the Chiron Return meant to the lives of several notable personalities. Chapter Eight's title, Jung's Discovery of the Chiron Archetype in Himself, gives greater understanding to the term, Wounded Healer. And of course, there are chapters delineating Chiron through the signs, through the houses, and through the aspects. Section two contains chapters on other Centaurean bodies: Pholus, Nessus, Hylonome, Cyllarus, Chariklo, Okyhroe, Echeclus and Hidalgo.
