von Heeren and Koch
Robert von Heeren and Dieter Koch have published a book on Pholus in
Europe. Unfortunately, so far it is only in print in German. Here is the
description as sent to me by the publisher, Reinhardt Stiehle of Chiron
Verlag:
Pholus - Wandler zwischen Saturn und Neptun. Die Wende ins
Unerwartete.
(Pholus - Wanderer between Saturn and Neptune. The Turn to
the Unexpected)
310 pages, Hardcover, 25 illustrations, Ephemerides
1900 - 2025, ISBN 3-925100-20-2
DEM 49,80 (+ DEM 5.- postage and
package)
I don't know how much that is in US funds, but you can write to Mr.
Stiehle and ask. It is a beautifully bound book, well written. I can't wait
for the English translation, though, because my German is quite rusty (I
took German in high school.)

Chiron Verlag is also the publisher of the German version of my book, Essence and Application: A View From Chiron, which they translated as Wendepunkt Chiron: Essenz und Anwendung
Reinhart
The CPA Press has published Saturn, Chiron and the Centaurs: To the Edge and Beyond by Melanie Reinhart. It is available for
sale at the CPA Website. The
press release included the following:
I've just finished reading this book, and there is a lot to ponder!
Some of Melanie's insights into Nessus include:
"The bargains we make
with the dead....those bargains which are sealed unconsciously, and
thereby can become very poisonous....If we are unconsciously trying to get
free from something we don't even know we are held by, it can indeed have
very destructive spin-offs in our relationships."
She equates it with
teaching us how to recognize that some people seem to magnetically drain
energy from others, and how some people seem to make others feel
energized.
She sees it as an expression of the various metaphors using
the word burning....burning with hatred, shame, anger. And she links
Nessus to the phrase 'bad blood.'
Melanie quotes Dieter saying Nessus
represents "A process where and how we develop more integrity, power over
ourselves, more identity and character."
Lass
Martin Lass has published several books on Chiron, which he has now combined in the volume Chiron: Healing Body & Soul. You can read all about it here:
Gainsburg
CHIRON: The Wisdom of a Deeply Open Heart is by Martin Gainsburg, and it is a remarkable book. It includes a look at the meaning of Chiron's glyph; Chiron through the signs and houses; in depth examinations of the sacred wound, the medicine, the broken-open heart and the medicine-walk archetypes; the karmic implications of Chironic placement; Chiron retrograde; and the popular article, "The Chiron-Moon Connection.":
Piotrowski
Piotr Piotrowski has published a beautiful book on Chiron entitled Przeslanie Chirona, but unfortunately for me it is written in Polish.
If you are able to read that language, you may be interested in reading his book, or some of his articles:
Gunzburg
Darrelyn Gunzburg draws upon the Centaurs, both astrologically and mythologically, to help us find our way through the grief of loss, and emerge with a new understanding and focus. You can read all about it here:
