Synopsis

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 Extensive mythological, cultural and historical references enrich this book, the first edition of which received critical acclaim from practising astrologers world wide, and became established as a classic text in its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.

About this title

From the Publisher:

This edition of 'Chiron and the Healing Journey' represents a major revision of the best-selling previous editions, first published in 1989. 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. The ephemerides have been removed, as it is now possible for the reader to obtain on-line information that is both more detailed, and also more accurate.

From the Author:

This is a major revision of 'Chiron and the Healing Journey'. The reader might be interested to know that the first edition was written in 1988, during the conjunctions of Saturn and Uranus, and this revision was done while these two planets were in opposition - the archeypal meaning of this aspect indeed supported the process of reviewing and redoing the original. I have been reminded time and again how 'alive' is this material, and how Chiron both tracks and reveals the living process of our own awakening.

The book is written with minimal astrological technicality, and is suitable for readers at any level of prior knowledge.

It is my hope that the reader will enjoy the reading of this book as much as I enjoyed the writing of it.
