In the autumn of 1994 on 2 October a new Centaur was discovered and later associated with the name Pylenor. The myth is short but unforgettable. Wounded by one of Heracles’ arrows tipped with the Hydra’s poison, the Centaur dragged himself to the river Anigrus and washed the wound. The river itself became permanently contaminated. From this image a consistent set of themes has emerged among researchers: bleeding, poison, infection, shame, the tension between cleanliness and dirtiness, exposed wounds, decomposition — and, crucially, the occasional necessity of applying a toxic substance in carefully measured doses in order to provoke healing. That last idea is pure homeopathy. It is therefore no surprise that Samuel Hahnemann’s chart shows Pylenor closely trine his Ascendant. The same polarity is written into the discovery sky. On 2 October 1994 both Uranus and Neptune stationed direct in Capricorn, a signature of hidden, almost sleight-of-hand change that only later be...
