In mythology, Pholus was a centaur who had to surgically remove an arrow from Nessus after being shot by Heracles. Unfortunately to his dismay - that arrow was poisoned, and he died from the surgical procedure.

Pholus in asteroid astrology reveals themes of tower moments, things falling apart so we can piece them back together, critical turning points and interpersonal crisis.

Surgical skill is prominent with Pholus since he attempted to save Nessus. Surgical skill isn’t only medical. Generally speaking surgery is the process of removal, dissecting, repairing. But how does this show up in mundane interpretation?

Those with Pholus strong in their chart can show up in careers that utilize this. From culinary where one dices food, being a literal surgeon, someone who works with tattoos or hair styling (since both use surgical grade equipment). Pholus also shows up in the charts of those who dabble in embroidery, stained glass and mosaic art since the processes approaching these art styles is directly surgical (cutting glass, piercing it together to fit perfectly like a game of operation). I’ve seen Pholus in Cancer in the 6th house show up as a water electrician for example!

Pholus is an incredible asteroid when it comes to understanding our healing with transforming from the ripples we experience in life. We learn that things do fall apart - but this allows us an ability to piece things back together in better ways.

In the spiritual department Pholus is huge as well. Have you ever met a cord cutter or someone who works with removing, repairing energy? This is also Pholus. Energy work is very surgical.

The asteroid Pholus deeply reminds me of Kintsugi that originates from Japan. When a base breaks, they piece it back together with gold.

We inherently have skills as surgeons but this mindset shows up in how we process and piece together ourselves too. In areas of academics this comes up in those work in fields of science, research and more.

B. Pholus: The Catalyst for Change
Pholus is another significant Centaur in astrology, representing the transformative power of SUDDEN change. His story is one of awakening and realization, often linked to the theme of consequences following indulgence.

Astrologically, Pholus is associated with:

Moments of insight and clarity
The need to embrace change
Shifts in personal perspective

Vertex/Pholus Midpoint at 0 Aries Point

<
The Vertex/Pholus midpoint exactly conjunct the Aries Point (0° Aries) is a powerful astrological configuration, blending the Vertex’s fated encounters with Pholus’s catalytic, ripple-effect energy in a highly visible, initiatory context. It suggests moments where destined meetings or events trigger unexpected, far-reaching changes, often with a public or societal impact. The connection to Pisces 30’s symbolism underscores the transition from spiritual culmination to bold new beginnings, with the challenge of navigating unpredictable outcomes with intention and courage. This configuration calls for embracing fated turning points as opportunities to initiate transformative change.

L.Carroll tells story of Alice on a rowing boat in Oxford - on Aries Pt.

Challenges: Pholus’s unpredictable nature could lead to unintended consequences from fated events, requiring the individual to stay grounded and intentional. The Vertex’s karmic quality may make these events feel overwhelming or out of control.

Centaurs in Astrology: What Their Traits Reveal
I. Introduction to Centaurs in Astrology
Centaurs, fascinating figures in both mythology and astrology, embody a unique blend of human intellect and animal instinct. In the astrological context, Centaurs represent not only celestial bodies but also a deeper understanding of the human experience through their complex traits and characteristics.

The discovery of Centaurs in astrology began in the 1970s with the identification of the first celestial Centaur, Chiron. This discovery marked a significant expansion in astrological practice, offering new insights into the human psyche and the healing journey. Centaurs are often seen as archetypes of duality, symbolizing the balance between our instinctual nature and our higher consciousness.

This article aims to explore the mythological background of Centaurs, their significance in astrology, the key traits associated with them, and their influence on personal growth and transformation.

II. The Mythological Background of Centaurs
In Greek mythology, Centaurs are depicted as half-human, half-horse beings, typically embodying a wild and untamed spirit. Their origins can be traced back to various myths, but one of the most prominent stories describes them as the offspring of Ixion and a cloud created by Zeus.

The dual nature of Centaurs represents the tension between civilization and savagery, intellect and instinct. This dichotomy has led to rich symbolic meanings, such as:

Wisdom and knowledge
Wildness and freedom
Healing and transformation
III. Key Centaurs in Astrology
A. Chiron: The Wounded Healer
Chiron, often referred to as the “Wounded Healer,” holds a prominent place in astrology. His mythological story revolves around his own painful wound, which he could not heal. This narrative reflects the journey of healing others while grappling with one’s own wounds.

In astrology, Chiron signifies:

Deep emotional wounds that require healing
The potential for transformation through pain
A connection to teaching and mentoring others
B. Pholus: The Catalyst for Change

The interplay of emotions and intellect: Centaurs often highlight the balance between our emotional responses and rational thoughts, encouraging us to integrate both aspects.
Themes of healing and transformation: Many individuals with strong Centaur placements may find themselves in roles of healing, whether personally or professionally, often leading to profound personal transformations.
The balance between freedom and responsibility: Centaurs remind us of the importance of freedom while also acknowledging the responsibilities that come with it.

VII. Challenges and Lessons from Centaur Traits
While Centaur traits offer valuable insights, they also present challenges that require navigation:

Navigating the complexities of duality: Embracing both the wild and civilized aspects of ourselves can lead to inner conflict.
Dealing with the wounded healer archetype: Acknowledging our wounds while helping others heal can be a delicate balance.
Lessons on embracing change and transformation: Centaurs teach us that change is a natural part of life and that embracing it can lead to growth.
VIII. Conclusion: Embracing the Centaur Influence

WHAT DOES VENIS SQUARE PHOLUS SUGGEST IN MUNDANE ASTROLOGY
In mundane astrology, which deals with astrology on a larger, collective scale (like nations, events, or trends), Venus square Pholus suggests a dynamic tension between the energies of love, beauty, and harmony (Venus) and transformation, healing, and catalysts for growth (Pholus).

This aspect can indicate challenges and obstacles in areas related to relationships, self-worth, and personal values. It may bring about situations that test and transform these areas, pushing for growth and evolution1.

For example, in a national chart, this aspect might suggest periods where societal values and relationships are challenged, leading to significant changes and potential growth in how a nation views love, beauty, and harmony.

Pholus “the lid comes off”
Posted on 11/20/2020
| By Mary Plumb
I’m looking again at the centaur Pholus.

Herakles and Pholus 520 BCE
British Museum

Pholus, known in astronomical nomenclature as a centaur — a sub-category within the minor planet category — was discovered in January 1992. Named for mythological centaurs, Pholus (and Nessus, discovered in 1993) are connected to the most gifted centaur, Chiron. (1) Chiron was discovered in 1977 and traveled alone until his companions began to be sighted. There are now more than 100 minor planets, but Pholus and Nessus were the first to be discovered. They share some of Chiron’s unique astronomical properties — they come from outside our solar system and have highly elliptical orbits.

The bodies from “outside our solar system” are boundary crossers — they cross the boundaries of the orbits of Saturn and Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. As such, they are connected to transgressing, going past established norms or limits, or having experiences outside of ordinary time and space. In client work, the positions of Nessus and Pholus can be seen in the storylines of those working with generational issues, and may reveal a heretofore hidden ancestral pattern. These visitors from the great beyond can help establish a large enough container to create the space to work the complex, multi-faceted and invisible experiences that many experience. Those drawn to shamanic practices, ancestral healing and soul retrieval work are in the realms where the centaurs dwell.

To focus on Pholus, his orbit is between Saturn and Neptune and part of his mythic story is connected to wine. Pholus was the guardian of a special wine that gets uncorked prematurely, creating a temporarily wildly intoxicating and chaotic situation. It can be seen as describing a process that gets “uncorked” or released, and it cannot be put back. Melanie Reinhart, my friend and mentor in these matters, has famously said of Pholus: “The lid comes off.”

When I remember those words, I always think of a client who was embroiled in a very painful situation, marked by the presence of Pholus in family members’ natal, solar return, and progressed charts. My heartbroken client said, “I just want things to go back to the way they were.” In this situation, things were not going “to go back,” as what had seemed like an insignificant act on his part had unleashed an unweildy process.

This especially poignant moment in the counseling room evoked the myth: Pholus died by a self-inflicted and accidental wound from the poison on the tip of one of Hercules’s arrows.

The association with the tip of the arrow leading to unseen consequences also connects Pholus (described by Robert von Heeren) to “small cause and a big effect” — small decisions or actions that precipitate lasting and unforeseen events.

And now, back to the obituary — it is for writer Johanna Harcourt-Smith. She was born on January 13, 1946 and died on October 12, 2020. (2) She was born with the Sun conjunct Pholus at 22°- 23° Capricorn.

Johanna Harcourt-Smith
January 13, 1946
sunrise chart, no birthtime

She was a poet, author, psychedelic activist and companion of Timothy Leary. She was 26 when she began “began an intense romantic odyssey that lasted from 1972 to 1977.” At the age if 30, they had separated and she was “ready to start her life over.”

In 2013, she published her memoir, Tripping the Bardo With Timothy Leary: My Psychedelic Love Story. She wrote that it took her three decades to absorb and “compost” her experience with him. “I followed him off that precipice, and my family, nationality and sanity were fragmented beyond recognition.”

The connection between Pholus as the lid coming off and small cause and a big effect seems very congruent with LSD, where as “little as 20 micrograms can produce a noticeable effect.” (3)

(Timothy Leary’s Ascendant is 9°50’ Sagittarius with Pholus sitting right there at 13°03’ Sagittarius.) (4)

Ms. Harcourt-Smith passed away at home as transiting Jupiter and Pluto was at 22° Capricorn, with Jupiter at 18° and Saturn at 25° Capricorn, all of which triggered the natal cardinal T-square.

Errol Morris’s documentary based on her life is scheduled to air on Showtime on November 29.

Transiting Pholus is in Capricorn from October 2019 until 2040. Pholus has also been connected with viruses (aka, small cause, big effect). See Melanie Reinhart’s extensive research on Coronavirus.

Have a good week everyone, I know we are all doing the best we can to enjoy each moment of our often strange circumstances. Stay safe. Stay kind. I’m glad we’re all here together.

Its astrological themes include transformation, unexpected events, chaos, and initiation.
Pholus represents a deep and profound transformation that occurs in a person’s life, often through unexpected and disruptive events.
The Lid Comes Off:
The phrase “the lid comes off” aptly describes Pholus’s influence.
Imagine a tightly sealed container (symbolizing a situation or aspect of life).

This can lead to explosive events, unforeseen consequences, and a process that cannot be easily reversed. Pr.Anne-sq Venus
Small Cause, Big Effect:
Pholus is also associated with the idea of “small cause and big effect.”
It signifies seemingly insignificant decisions or actions that set in motion lasting and profound consequences.
Just as a small act can uncork a bottle of wine, Pholus triggers processes that cannot be put back.

Karmic Ties and Pholus
Pholus is also associated with karmic ties and past-life connections. When two people have a strong Pholus interaction in their synastry, it can indicate that they have a deep soul connection that spans across lifetimes. This can bring about a sense of familiarity and comfort in the relationship, as well as a sense of destiny or fate.

However, it is important to approach these karmic connections with awareness and consciousness. Pholus interactions can bring about intense and transformative experiences, and it is important to be mindful of the lessons and growth that these experiences can bring. With awareness and a willingness to learn and grow, Pholus interactions can lead to powerful and transformative relationships.

Pholus in Composite Charts
When it comes to composite charts, Pholus plays an essential role in indicating the areas of life where the couple needs to be cautious. Pholus represents the small things that can trigger significant events. It is a minor planet, but it can have a significant impact on the relationship.

Pholus in the composite chart shows where the couple needs to be careful and where they might experience unexpected events. It indicates the areas of life where the couple needs to be prepared for sudden changes. It can also show where the couple might experience accidents or mishaps.

If Pholus is in the 7th house of the composite chart, it can indicate that the couple needs to be careful in their partnerships. They might experience unexpected events in their relationships, and they need to be prepared for sudden changes. If Pholus is in the 8th house, it can indicate that the couple needs to be careful with their shared resources. They might experience unexpected financial events, and they need to be prepared for sudden changes.

It is essential to note that Pholus does not always indicate negative events. It can also show where the couple might experience unexpected positive events. For example, if Pholus is in the 5th house of the composite chart, it can indicate that the couple might experience unexpected joy and happiness in their creative endeavors.

In conclusion, Pholus in composite charts plays an important role in indicating the areas of life where the couple needs to be cautious. It can indicate where they might experience unexpected events and where they need to be prepared for sudden changes.

Pholus in Mundane Astrology
Pholus is a small centaur planet that orbits between Saturn and Neptune. In mundane astrology, Pholus is associated with sudden events that trigger long-lasting effects.

When Pholus is in a prominent position in a country’s chart, it can indicate unexpected events that have a significant impact on the country. For example, Pholus was in a prominent position in the United States’ chart during the 9/11 attacks, which had a long-lasting impact on the country’s politics and foreign policy.

Pholus is also associated with the release of bottled-up energy and the breaking of taboos. In mundane astrology, this can manifest as sudden changes in societal norms or the overthrow of established power structures.

However, it’s important to note that Pholus is just one factor in a complex system of astrological influences. It should never be used in isolation to make predictions or draw conclusions about a country’s future.

Overall, Pholus in mundane astrology can be a useful tool for understanding sudden and unexpected events that have a lasting impact on a country. But it should always be considered in the context of other astrological influences and with a healthy dose of skepticism.

Mars conjunct Pholus in the birth chart means that your passion and energy are sparked by major life turning points. As chaotic and disruptive as these cataclysmic changes can be, you are more likely to feel energized by crises. You may find renewed sense of motivation, purpose and personal ambition. Sometimes you need to dramatically face your fears and find strength by jumping right into the midst of a catastrophe. Small impulsive choices or actions can have dramatic ramifications, and this can impact you in a dramatic way. You may become more enthusiastic and determined as a result. You can be overconfident in your ability to rush in to protect others or de-escalate a situation, not realizing that a spark has become a wildfire before you fully have a handle on things. Yet even in the midst of these major life turning points, you can find renewed sense of focus and energy. Nothing gets you out of a slump like a large-scale challenge12

Eris and the Centaurs:
The Tucson Shootings
When a major world event happens,
I cast the chart and look for which minor
planets are prominent. I use the basic
tests for prominence — for example, if
the point is angular or if it’s making a
conjunction, square, or opposition to
the Sun, Moon, or a planet that thematically factors into the situation. When
the Tucson shootings happened in early
2011, the exact time of the incident was
released by authorities, and I cast the
chart. (See Chart 3, facing page.
At the moment of the shootings
(which happened rapidly), Pholus
was conjunct the Midheaven within less
than one degree. Pholus, the second discovered Centaur, has among its
themes the runaway reaction or the
uncontrolled release of energy. It is a
powerful precipitator. Where Pholus
is involved, things proceed rapidly —
unlike with his cousin Chiron. German
minor planet specialist Robert von
Heeren described Pholus as the “small
cause with the big effect.” Pholus is currently a long-term visitor to Sagittarius,
a fiery, reactive sign.
Jared Lee Loughner’s walking up to
a crowd of peaceful people and opening
fire with a semi-automatic handgun had
the mark of Pholus in the worst sense
of the concept. The crowd included a
prominent congresswoman, U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords, with whom
he was obsessed; one theme of Pholus is how we deal with famous people
when we encounter them personally.
Pholus was on the cusp of the 10th, a
house associated with government and
authority.

Borasisi is a small planet with a big
message, particularly in our world that
is in many ways run by the public relations industry. You might put this planet
to work any time you’re studying a person or a situation where deceiving the
public, and moreover the moral questions associated with that deception,
are themes. Check Borasisi any time
belief seems to trump the known facts or
where self-delusion is an issue, whether
the larger topic is religion, politics, corporate deception, or something novel
that you’ve never thought of.

Pholus and Lilith are two minor astrological factors that can have a significant impact on the collective psyche and the world events. In mundane astrology, which is the branch of astrology that studies the horoscopes of nations, cities, or other entities, a conjunction of Pholus and Lilith can indicate a period of intense and radical changes, challenges, and transformations1.

Pholus is a centaur planet that represents the energy of the unexpected, the uncontrollable, and the catalyst. It is associated with sudden events that have a domino effect, revealing hidden truths and consequences. It also relates to issues of responsibility, accountability, and ethics2. Lilith is a hypothetical point that represents the dark, primal, and often repressed aspects of our nature. It is associated with rebellion, independence, sexuality, and power. It also relates to issues of oppression, marginalization, and liberation3.

When Pholus and Lilith are conjunct in mundane astrology, they create a powerful and complex energy that invites us to explore the hidden and shadowy aspects of our collective psyche and our relationship with the world. They suggest that we have a strong connection to the unconscious and the instinctual, and that we can uncover deep truths and secrets that may have been repressed or denied. They also challenge us to embrace our uniqueness and our dark side, and to integrate them into our collective identity and our life. This aspect can bring about profound transformations and revelations, but also requires careful attention and honesty. It can help us grow as a global community, but also expose us to fears and inner demons that need to be faced and healed2.

Some possible themes or events that can manifest when Pholus and Lilith are conjunct in mundane astrology are:

Unexpected and radical changes in the political, social, economic, or cultural spheres that challenge the status quo and reveal hidden agendas or corruption2.
A rise of movements or groups that demand justice, freedom, equality, or recognition for themselves or others who have been oppressed or marginalized3.
A surge of creativity, innovation, or originality in various fields or domains that express the uniqueness and diversity of the collective spirit3.
A confrontation or conflict between law and conscience, or between tradition and innovation, that tests our values and ethics2.
A discovery or disclosure of secrets or scandals that shock or enlighten the public opinion2.
A heightened awareness or expression of sexuality, sensuality, or eroticism that challenges the norms or taboos of society3.
A manifestation or release of fears, anger, resentment, or violence that need to be acknowledged and healed3.
The Pholus-Lilith conjunction is a rare and powerful astrological event that can have a lasting impact on our collective destiny. It urges us to ask ourselves: What deep desires and fears are emerging within us? How can we navigate the uncharted territories of our collective psyche together? How can we honor and embrace our own uniqueness and unconventional nature? How can we use our connection to the shadowy depths of our collective mind to bring about healing and transformation within ourselves and others?

If your natal Apollo aspects Quaoar, it may indicate that you have a strong creative and spiritual potential that can manifest in different ways, depending on the type and quality of the aspect. For example:

If your natal Apollo is conjunct Quaoar, you may have a powerful intuition and a connection with the source of all creation. You may be able to tap into the void and bring forth original and innovative ideas that can transform yourself and the world around you. You may also have a strong sense of purpose and destiny, and a desire to express your unique vision through art, music, or other forms of creativity12
If your natal Apollo is sextile or trine Quaoar, you may have a harmonious and supportive relationship with your creative and spiritual self. You may be able to access your intuition and inspiration easily, and use them to enhance your artistic or intellectual endeavors. You may also have a positive and optimistic outlook on life, and a faith in the divine order of things. You may be able to balance your rational and mystical sides, and integrate them into a coherent whole13
If your natal Apollo is square or opposite Quaoar, you may have a challenging and conflicting relationship with your creative and spiritual self. You may struggle to express your true vision or connect with your higher self, and feel frustrated or blocked by external or internal obstacles. You may also have doubts or fears about your abilities or your path, and question the meaning or value of your creations. You may need to overcome some resistance or limitations, and learn to trust your intuition and follow your passion13

I was very interested in what Aleksandar had to say. He have several key phrases to describe Quaoar’s action:

After something bad, comes something new, some new expansion of consciousness
A price must be paid, a painful process, before something new happens
A break with something, a break with the past, so that we can move onto something new
Something must die first and then something happens, something new that is beyond death.
Because of the Tongva association, the symbolism of Quaoar may be connected with “creating through dance or rhythmic creations.”

According to some astrologers, when your natal Apollo is conjunct another asteroid in your natal chart, it can indicate a strong affinity or attraction to the qualities or themes associated with that asteroid. For example, if your natal Apollo is conjunct asteroid Eros, you may have a passionate and creative nature that expresses itself through art, music, or romance. If your natal Apollo is conjunct asteroid Psyche, you may have a deep and intuitive understanding of yourself and others, and a desire to explore the mysteries of the soul. If your natal Apollo is conjunct asteroid Juno, you may have a strong sense of commitment and loyalty in your relationships, and a need for harmony and balance12

However, not all astrologers use or interpret asteroids in the same way, and some may not consider them at all. Therefore, you should always use your own judgment and intuition when reading your chart, and not rely solely on the opinions of others. Asteroids are just one of the many factors that can influence your personality and destiny, and they may not be as significant as the planets, signs, houses, and aspects345
