Books by Melanie Reinhart
Chiron and the Healing Journey:
An Astrological and Psychological Perspective
Considered the definitive original text on the subject, this
book gives detailed, thoroughly researched information on Chiron's
mythology, its placement through the houses and signs,
as well as aspects to the major planets. Includes Chiron
ephemerides from 1900 to 2030.
Chiron, once a celestial anomaly, is now in a class of its own.
In the early 1990s, exciting discoveries within astronomical science
yielded a new category of objects - The Centaurs. Chiron
is considered the prototype of this group which
comprises the short-orbit comets that cross the orbital paths
of the planets from Saturn through Neptune. The symbolism is perfect,
as Chiron is that luminous thread of consciousness which
links the different levels of the inner and outer dimensions of
our human experience, helping us to make sense of our suffering
in a deeply personal way, and thus to release our attachment to
it.
This book is a classic of original thinking, inspiration,
depth of astrological experience and careful research. It has
stood the test of time, and is appreciated by an ever-growing
number of astrologers whose focus is upon the soul's unfoldment
through life experience, bitter or sweet. It has accompanied the healing journey of thousands of people
all over the world, and has been translated into five languages.

Saturn, Chiron and the Centaurs:
To the Edge and Beyond
Melanie's groundbreaking work on Chiron helped open the eyes of the
astrological world to its importance in understanding individual and collective experiences
of suffering, and the potential for distilling wisdom and healing
from those situations which cause us the greatest pain.
In this volume, she explores both the importance
of Saturn as the boundary between individual and collective realities,
and also offers exciting new insights about Chiron and the
'Centaurs', newly discovered small objects lying between the orbits of Saturn and Pluto. These 'messengers' from deep space refer to experiences of transpersonal reality, and act as energies of integration.
Saturn, Chiron and the Centaurs offers an intuitive
perspective, backed up by case material, in lively seminar format.
Includes an ephemeris of the
Pholus and Nessus. This book gives new insights into the mystery of human suffering as reflected
in the symbolism of the horoscope.

Incarnation:
The Four Angles and the Moon's Nodes
This volume explores the two fundamental axes which refer to our incarnation in the world -- the Angles and the Nodes of the Moon. Like other factors of the birth chart, their meaning covers many dimensions, inner and outer.
The Four Angles takes the reader on a journey round the angles, considering their element, mode, and accompanying natal and transiting planets, as well as giving an illuminating presentation of the astronomy. Traditional interpretations of their meaning and symbolism are augmented by the fresh and original perspectives characteristic of Melanie's teaching style, which focuses on evoking personal insight as much as conveying information or technique. There is a guided imagery exercise which can be followed by the reader, designed to further personalise and deepen the material.
The Moon's Nodes contemplates basic principles by considering the interrelationship of the Sun, Moon, and Earth in space. Established ideas about the interpretation of the Nodes are reviewed and sometimes challenged. The imagery of the dragon is considered, along with Draconic astrology, a case study; the psychological processes connected with eclipses are discussed. This book inspires new understanding.

The Mars Quartet:
Four Seminars on the Astrology of the Red Planet
Lynn Bell, Darby Costello, Liz Greene, Melanie Reinhart
These seminars explore the many facets of Mars, an astrological symbol often misunderstood. In the present world climate, it is particularly important to consider this most instinctive and fundamental human urge. Named after the Roman god of war, Mars is usually associated with aggression and violence, and in medieval astrology was perceived as "malefic" and said to be the bringer of disaster. But without the energy and motivation of Mars, we become passive victims of life, unable to defend ourselves or stand up for what we believe in. Each seminar explores Mars from a different perspective on learning to work with Mars consciously and creatively.
The book will be an eye-opener for anyone interested not only in astrology, but also in human psychology, and the compulsions which drive individuals and whole societies to act aggressively toward each other.
