One excellent way to better understand the nature of a Centaur is to study it in the charts of a number of people who share the same aspect. And the most intense expressions of these Centaur interactions come from the conjunction, the square and the opposition.Take a look at these noted individuals with Nessus in aspect to a major planet, ASC, or MC, and see if you can see any patterns. All aspects are a maximum of 3 degree orb.

*NESSUS SQUARE PLUTO* The list of people with this aspect is very long, because these two bodies were in and out of square for a large part of this century. Rather than give the names of everyone I've found with this aspect, I'd like to give the periods when this aspect was in effect in modern times:
