with Melanie Reinhart
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.
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.

Part 1 – Pholus – The Lid Comes Off
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.
Part 2 – Nessus –The Buck Stops Here
Nessus, discovered in 1993, crosses the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, but not Saturn. Its long orbit (125 years) refers us to deep historical, cultural and collective themes which may have impacted our ancestors, and which we may be called to work with, although less personal. The mythic story of Nessus leads to the death of the hero Hercules and this important theme, including his rebirth, will be explored.
