This book consists of transcriptions of two seminars on astrology previously published by CPA Press. It offers an in-depth consideration of the meaning, mythology, and astrological process of the planet Saturn, with an emphasis on its connection with Neptune, by sign or aspect, and also deals with the recently discovered Kuiper Belt objects, their meaning and significance in the individual horoscope, and the collective.

Saturn, Chiron and the Centaurs - To the Edge and Beyond by Melanie Reinhart. Part I - Saturn: Time. Heritage and Substance Material on Saturn, planet of "the edge" of structure, manifestation and the preservation of what has already been established. Traditional meanings of Saturn are explored in consideration of our contemporary condition of rapid change, and how this affects our relationship with our own Saturn. Mythological images discussed include the Greek Kronos and Pan, Parsifal and the Fool, and the processes of Alchemy and Karma. The traditional domicile of Saturn is reviewed, its transit cycle explored in detail, and the final section includes Saturn discussed through the 12 houses. Part II - The Centaurs: Chiron, Pholus and Nessus Brings ground-breaking new ideas drawn from recent astronomical discoveries in the outer solar system.Several new celestial objects that behave somewhatlike Chiron have been catalogued, and officially named "Centaurs." This unique compilation presents new material concerning the orbit cycle of Chiron, and a summary and elaboration of astrological research to date on Pholus, the second Centaur. In addition, original material on the meaning of the third Centaur, 1992HA2, 'Nessus' is included. This book is still the most comprehensive source of astrological information about the Centaurs. Their meaning is re-contextualised, and an ephemeris for Chiron, Pholus and Nessus is included, as well as several explanatory diagrams. All technical material was specially computed by Dieter Koch, and revised in 2011. The reader can participate in seminars where seed ideas were being expressed for the first time. There is enough material in this seminar for those interested to begin understanding the Centaurs in the horoscope.

An astrological reference book concentrating on the meaning of Chiron in the horoscope. It contains information on Chiron through astrological house, sign and aspect as well as ephemerides from 1900 to 2030.

This unique book offers the first comprehensive exploration of the Minor Planets now classified as 'Centaurs'. It was first published in 1996 (in Part II of 'Saturn, Chiron and the Centaurs'), and is still unsurpassed. This stand-alone version includes extra material on the naming of Nessus, and all technical information has been updated. If you resonate with the astrology of Chiron, this material is sure to interest you, as the themes of the Centaurs represent a vital extension of its meaning in the horoscope. Melanie Reinhart's ground-breaking work, "Chiron and the Healing Journey," opened the eyes of the astrological world to Chiron's potential for distilling wisdom from our greatest suffering, and to the way its process accompanies our awakening. "Chiron, Pholus and Nessus" expands this material in a lively seminar format. After being reclassified several times, Chiron is now the prototype of a new sub-category of celestial objects called 'The Centaurs', originating in the Kuiper Belt, beyond the edge of the solar system. These Minor Planets are 'messengers' from deep space which signify experiences of the transpersonal reality which facilitates our relationship with the celestial and earthly aspects of our nature and existence.

WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD AND THE PRIX DU MEILLEUR LIVRE ÉTRANGER The Centaur is a modern retelling of the legend of Chiron, the noblest and wisest of the centaurs, who, painfully wounded yet unable to die, gave up his immortality on behalf of Prometheus. In the retelling, Olympus becomes small-town Olinger High School; Chiron is George Caldwell, a science teacher there; and Prometheus is Caldwell’s fifteen-year-old son, Peter. Brilliantly conflating the author’s remembered past with tales from Greek mythology, John Updike translates Chiron’s agonized search for relief into the incidents and accidents of three winter days spent in rural Pennsylvania in 1947. The result, said the judges of the National Book Award, is “a courageous and brilliant account of a conflict in gifts between an inarticulate American father and his highly articulate son.”

A CONTEMPORARY CLASSIC. This in-depth study of the minor planet Chiron traces the development of the archetype of the Shaman, or Wounded Healer, which accompanies the soul's journey of awakening. It also demonstrates how this theme is reflected in the astronomical picture, and in turn revealed in the individual horoscope. Chiron's story in Greek mythology is explored and illuminated with skilled interpretation, and there are two large sections detailing Chiron's symbolism and meaning through the signs and houses, and aspecting the planets. The chapter on transits describes the profound process which Chiron signals as it moves around the horoscope over time. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to shed light on the astrological symbolism and meaning of Chiron. Chiron was discovered in 1977 as a celestial anomaly, but is now in a class of its own. In the early 1990s, exciting discoveries within astronomical science revealed a new category of objects, named the Centaurs'. Chiron is considered the major representative of this group which comprises short-orbit comets that cross the paths of the planets from Jupiter to Pluto. The symbolism of this is perfect, as Chiron stands for that luminous thread of consciousness which links the inner and outer dimensions of our human experience, helping us to make sense of our suffering in a deeply personal way, and thus to release our attachment to it. This book is a classic of original thinking, inspiration, depth of astrological experience and careful research. It has more than stood the test of time, and is appreciated by an ever-growing number of astrologers who focus on the soul's unfoldment through life experience, bitter or sweet. This book has addressed and accompanied the healing journey of many thousands of people all over the world. REVISION This edition of 'Chiron and the Healing Journey' represents a major revision of the best-selling previous editions, first published in 1989 and 1999 by Arkana, and in April 2010 in paperback by Starwalker Press. Changes include an entirely new section on the astronomy of Chiron, and how it is reflected in the mythology. The final section 'Spirit of the Age' has been rewritten to address more precisely our contemporary concerns. There is much new case material illustrating Chiron in the horoscope, and the reader is also briefly introduced to other Minor Planets in the same category as Chiron. The mythological base has also been expanded, and there is an in-depth exploration of the 'Chiron Return' which occurs at age 50, representing a major 'rite of passage' for everyone.
