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.
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.
The Contemporary Astrologer's Handbook is the long-awaited,
complete guide to horoscope interpretation by Sue Tompkins, author
of the modern classic Aspects in Astrology. Drawing on Sue's 30
years of experience as a leading light in her field, this manual
presents an in-depth exploration of the planets, signs, houses and
aspects, and guides the reader through the essential stages of
chart delineation. Rich in material for beginner and professional
alike, there is simply no other book like it. Included are insights
into Chiron and the Centaurs, co-written with Melanie Reinhart.
A wise and fascinating exploration of the nature of the healing
experience as delineated in the horoscope, in particular through
the archetypal pattern of the Wounded Healer or Shaman. An
indispensible book for anyone wanting to understand the symbolism
and meaning of the recently discovered Kuiper Belt object called
Chiron. Extensive mythological, cultural and historical references
enrich this book, the first edition of which received critical
acclaim from practising astrologers world wide, and became
established as a classic text in its field. This major revision
contains a wealth of entirely new material, and an elaboration of
themes previously included.
An exploration of Saturn, emphasising the Saturn-Neptune
'signature'. Mythological images discussed include the Greek gods
Kronos and Pan, Parsifal and the Fool, the processes of Alchemy and
Karma. Whether you are new to astrology, or a seasoned pro, you
will find something inspirational in this stand-alone version of
material first published in 'Saturn, Chiron and the Centaurs'
(printed version still available). Saturn as Lord of time,
structure, manifestation and the preservation of what is already
established, seen through our contemporary context of rapid change,
in the 12 houses. Transcript of a live seminar given in London.
MYTHOLOGY OF THE PRENATAL LIFE by Francis J. Mott with annotations
by R.D. Laing This book is a sequel and companion volume to "The
Nature of the Self," which explores the intricacies of prenatal
experience, demonstrating how these processes are a reflection of
an essential life-pattern revealed in many other dimensions of
life, macrocosmic and microscopic. In "Mythology of the Prenatal
Life," these insights are explored in further detail and with true
genius, as Francis J. Mott shows how the prenatal realm is
symbolized in mythology, Biblical stories, and folk tales from many
cultures. Lovers of symbolism will relish this material, which
offers a unique perspective on familiar themes. This book is an
edited version of material previously available only as a privately
published monograph. It includes the essay "Jacob's Ladder," a
summary of the author's main ideas. The annotations made by R. D.
Laing, with whom he corresponded, have been reproduced within the
text, published here for the first time. Although Freud initially
proposed that mental life began only after birth, he was later to
revise this view. Since then, largely in counterpoint to
'mainstream psychology', many brilliant people have developed their
own unique understanding of the pre- and perinatal realms: Otto
Rank, Nandor Fodor, Stanislav Grof, Paul Verny, Arthur Janov,
William Emerson, Bill Swartley, Frank Lake, D.W. Winnicott, R.D.
Laing and many others. "The work of Francis Mott stands out as one
of the most distinctive contributions of the twentieth century to
the study of the human mind." R.D. Laing
Facsimile reprint of a seminal work on the relevance of the
prenatal experiences on later post-natal psychological, moral and
spiritual development. Francis J. Mott was a 20th Century
'Renaissance Man', whose broad life experience, personal study and
extensive work in the related fields of philosophy, mythology,
anthropology and dream analysis reflect the life of a man whose
search led him into realms of understanding that were far ahead of
his times. 'The Nature of the Self', written in 1960, and long out
of print, offers deep insight and wisdom about the developmental
processes of human life. The time is ripe for this book to make a
major contribution to the endeavour of psychological healing.
This book consists of transcriptions of two seminars on astrology
previously published by CPA Press (1996/2002), receiving excellent
reviews. The work retains the lively pace of the spoken word, and
includes material both familiar and entirely new. Part One: Saturn
- Time, Heritage and Substance 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.
The new student will find a thorough examination of Saturn's
themes, while those already familiar with the basics will find new
inspiration. Part Two: The Centaurs - Chiron, Pholus and Nessus
This ground-breaking material consists of entirely original work
which will intrigue both beginners to astrology and seasoned
professionals.It deals with the recently discovered Kuiper Belt
objects, their meaning and significance in the individual
horoscope, and the collective. Reinhart has become an acknowledged
authority on this subject, and her work on Chiron and the Centaurs
has been translated into six languages. This book is the most
comprehensive exploration of Pholus and Nessus yet written.
