Chiron, Pholus and Nessus: To the Edge and Beyond: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Chiron, Pholus and Nessus: To the Edge and Beyond" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Ground-breaking new ideas drawn from recent astronomical discoveries in the outer solar system. Several new celestial objects that behave somewhat like Chiron have been catalogued, and officially named 'Centaurs'. This compilation presents new material on the meaning of the orbital cycle of Chiron, and a summary and elaboration of astrological research to date on Pholus, the second Centaur. In addition, original material on the third Centaur, 1992HA2, 'Nessus' is included, explored here in depth for the first time, before it was officially named. The meaning of the Chiron and the Centaurs 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 master programmer Dieter Koch. Here, the reader can participate in a seminar where seed ideas were being expressed for the first time, and which have been eagerly embraced by astrologers whose work concerns the depth realms of the psyche.

Chiron and the Centaurs are the significators of processes of healing and transformation which occur deep within the soul, and which partake of the 'Underworld' dimension of Pluto. The astronomical discoveries which are discussed in the book were further elaborated in their symbolism when Pluto was 'de-moted' from planet status in 2006. The Kuiper Belt, where Chiron and the Centaurs were said to have originated, is the home of Pluto and thus represents a kind of 'celestial Underworld'. These Minor Planets signify the kind of awareness which is able to 'see in the dark' and which helps us differentiate our experiences of the 'Underworld' realms the ancestral field, the collective unconscious, other-dimensional experiences, and the pre- and peri-natal realms.

With their transits, these Minor Planets offer an extraordinary level of precision as they symbolise, signify and accompany our healing journey.

Notes

[1.] Translated from the German original by Graham Hope, with minor collaboration from myself. Sterne Sprachen einst zu Menschen first appeared in Wahrspruchworte by Rudolf Steiner, Rudolf Steiner Nachlassverwaltung, Dornach, Switzerland, 1922.

[2.] Reinhart, Melanie: Chiron and the Healing Journey. First published in 1989 Arkana, Penguin; 3rd edition Starwalker Press, UK, 2010, extensively revised.

[3.] Stern, Alan: Astronomy Magazine, August 1994, p. 33.

[4.] See New Discoveries Beyond the Orbits of Neptune and Pluto, by Robert von Heeren, published in The Mountain Astrologer, January 1996, pp. 33-35. Notes also that the TNO/SDO now-called dwarf planet named Eris is approximately the same size as Pluto. Research is ongoing (2011) to accurately determine its diameter.

[5.] This symbolism, of the Centaurs being pulled in by Neptune, is not unlike the image of the Bodhisattva. In the Buddhist tradition, a Bodhisattva is a being who has reached a stage of sufficient enlightenment to be able to choose whether or not to reincarnate, and who does so out of compassion for the suffering of others.

a. Note also that since 2006, when there was a major re-categorization undertaken by the IAU, Neptune is now officially the outermost planet, since it was recognized that Pluto does not belong in the category of planet.

b. The new astronomy confirms the symbolic appropriateness of this decision, controversial though it was.

[6.] See The Naming of Nessus in this edition.

[7.] In June 1996, 1993HA2 was given the catalogue number of 7066 as a prelude to the official naming in 1997. At the time of writing the first edition (early 1996), only two Centaurs had been named Chiron and Pholus but Nessus had been suggested.

[8.] Since the publication of the first edition of this book, many sources of information on the internet have become available, and the reader is directed to the Wikipedia pages on Centaur and Kuiper Belt. See also the Technical Information section in this digital edition.

[9.] Thanks to Farida Inayat Khan for telling me this story, originally published by Knopf, N.Y., 1918, in The Madman: His Parable and Poems, and republished by Penguin UK, in the 1995 Kahlil Gibran anniversary series.

[13.] Opinions vary as to what is the correct moment to consider as the birth moment for astrological purposes. In any case, it is rare for this precise time to be written down, even in so-called accurately recorded birth times.

[14.] Mott, op. cit. pp. 49-50, 255-260.

[15.] Mott, op. cit. p. 48-50: the placenta is the universal human Teacher who conveys to the foetal Hero the imprinted wisdom of our human past a level of inheritance too inorganic for the action of the genes, and too organic for the conscious mind of the parent to be able to convey it after birth.

[16.] Mott, op. cit. p. 77: The real dichotomy is not as between spirit and matter, but as between Point and Periphery ... All creation is built of these two basic elements ... interwoven again and again into unbearable complexity, but ever retaining their basic simplicity.

[17.] Consider Pluto and its moon Charon, who together constitute a binary star system, symbolising the obsessional quality of Pluto, where we become attached to possessing someone or something, and it feels like a matter of life and death. They revolve around each other in 6.4 days, and as they move through space form a pattern like the helix of the DNA.

[18.] Mott, op. cit. pp. 243, 244.

[19.] See Foetal Drama and the Roots of Religion, by David Wasdell, published in Self and Society, Vol. 23. No. 5, November 1995, p. 6.

[20.] See Twins, Triplets and More by Dr. Elisabeth Bryan, p. 5-6. The initial twin usually dies before 12 weeks in what is known as the vanishing twin syndrome. However, this can occur as late as 28 weeks, when the foetus is not reabsorbed, but gradually shrivels, remaining in utero with the main foetus. It will be delivered with the baby, but the birth of a foetus papyraceus a papery foetus will not be recorded. The implications of these facts, as cellular memories, are profound, and shed new light on the symbolism of the sign of Gemini, and the theme of soul mates or twin flames.

[37.] While writing the first draft of this book, Nessus was approaching Station Direct, and still closely conjunct Pluto in early Sagittarius. I read in a newspaper that on 1 August 1996, thousands of frozen embryos from an artificial insemination unit in London were burned, having been unclaimed by the parents. No comment.

[38.] Thanks to Teresa Moring for telling me about this.

[39.] My thanks to Eric Francis for sharing with me his article on the January 2011 shooting of congresswoman Giffords in Tucson, AZ location of the observatory which discovered some of the Centaurs, including Nessus. In Beneath the Guns and Politics, Gender Rage, he discusses at length the consequences of the politicization of repressed sexual energy, and the potent toxicity of gender rage.
