Chiron the Healing Journey‍ ‍by Melanie Reinhart

June 19, 2026, recording of a special NCGR Boston Book Group meeting with Melanie. We began with Q&A and moved into a magical guided meditation that crosses over the time of Chiron's ingress into Taurus at 5:19 PM ET. Melanie shared resources in this PDF.

Chiron’s two discovery charts: Per an email with Melanie, she works with both charts. Regarding this, she shared the following in an email exchange. “October 18, 1977, I call the 'Discovery Date' and November 1st the 'Announcement Date'. There has been some discussion around the time of the Announcement chart, with Zane Stein and others. See Zane’s website for details of this. I like the data for the Discovery, as it's 'there for all to see' on the observations logs.” Here is this chart, for when Chiron was first observed by astronomer Charles Kowal on October 18, 1977.

Chapter 2, page 36, references Arthur Miller’s play, Broken Glass, that “dramatizes the fact that we cannot view anything in our environment without a context of some sort.
