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.
