Ep. 108 - Melanie Reinhart - Astrology, Chiron, and Mythology

Hey everybody! Episode 108 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with Melanie Reinhart. Melanie was recommended to me by a friend of mine, James Robinson, and I’m really grateful that he did. Melanie is an astrologer and I really enjoyed speaking with her. She has a beautiful voice, presence, and wisdom and I think you all will find this a fascinating conversation. We spoke about her early years and interest in astrology, it’s history, how it fell out of favor in the West, the mythology of astrology, Chiron and its mythology and meaning, how astrology ties together many disciplines and draws upon much ancient wisdom from around the world, and how astrology can help guide us in the current times we are in.

She is a prize-winning diploma holder of the Faculty of Astrological Studies in the UK (Margaret Hone Award 1979), of whom she is also a patron. She was awarded the prestigious Charles Harvey Award in 2004, given by the Astrological Association of Great Britain for 'exceptional service to astrology'. Her work is an unusual combination of intuition and meticulous research... Melanie was initially self-taught in astrology, immersing herself for many years in the work of Dane Rudhyar. Later she had the privilege of learning from the many gifted astrologers in the rich milieu of London, and that journey continues. Melanie studied Horary astrology with Geoffrey Cornelius (1989-1990), and Deborah Houlding (Practitioner's Certificate 2012). Melanie has taught for many highly esteemed astrology schools, in the UK and abroad, including the Centre for Psychological Astrology, the London School of Astrology, the Faculty of Astrological Studies, Aula Astrològica de Catalunya, Heaven and Earth Workshops and Astro*Synthesis….”To learn more about or contact Melanie, and for her full bio, visit her website at: https://melaniereinhart.comIf you enjoy the show, it’s a big help if you can share it via social media or word of mouth.
