Chiron and the Healing Journey:
An Astrological and Psychological Perspective
Considered the definitive original text on the subject, this book gives detailed, thoroughly researched information on Chiron's mythology, its placement through the houses and signs, as well as aspects to the major planets. Includes Chiron ephemerides from 1900 to 2030.
Chiron, once a celestial anomaly, is now in a class of its own. In the early 1990s, exciting discoveries within astronomical science yielded a new category of objects - The Centaurs. Chiron is considered the prototype of this group which comprises the short-orbit comets that cross the orbital paths of the planets from Saturn through Neptune. The symbolism is perfect, as Chiron is that luminous thread of consciousness which links the different levels of 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 stood the test of time, and is appreciated by an ever-growing number of astrologers whose focus is upon the soul's unfoldment through life experience, bitter or sweet. It has accompanied the healing journey of thousands of people all over the world, and has been translated into five languages.
