Melanie Reinhart has been a professional astrologer since 1975 and is best known for her book Chiron and the Healing Journey (which I think of as my Chiron bible). She has served the astro-community through her pioneering work on not only Chiron but also other Centaurs: Chariklo, Nessus and Pholus.
She is a prize-winning diploma holder from the Faculty of Astrological Studies in the UK, and she is also a patron of the school. She was awarded the prestigious Charles Harvey Award in 2004, given by the Astrological Association of Great Britain for “exceptional service to astrology.” Melanie’s work is an unusual combination of intuition and meticulous research.
It was an absolute delight and honor to get to speak with Melanie – and mostly to listen, as she illuminated this time we’re in now from her unique and brilliant astro-perspective.
We explored:
The significance of the Centaurs (aka “the Weirdos”) as we transition into the Aquarian Age;
A radical (and my new favorite) answer to the question of when exactly we enter the Age of Aquarius;
Pluto’s astronomical demotion to “dwarf planet” and the affinity between the Lord of the Underworld and the Centaurs;
Jupiter’s esoteric rulership of Aquarius, and Chiron’s connection with all three rulers of Aquarius;
The collective metabolizing of Pisces-Age distortions, along with generosity, compassion and healing;
Chiron and animal communication, and the importance of communicating with our own animal selves;
And so much more!
