Chariklo, like Pholus and Asbolus, demonstrated compassion and a love of
fairness and peacefulness. She appealed to her goddess with goodness, mercy, and fair-
ness as tools. The justness or equality of punishment to transgression seeks balance in
her delineation.
The orbital contacts (Node and Perihelion) for Chariklo offer the following:
the need for definition between intimacy and personal space; seeking definition of
human interaction and boundaries; desire to help without codependent interference.
Negative: invasive, manipulative, and solicitous without intent to respond, aloof. Pos-
itive: a shoulder to cry upon, well-defined relating agenda, counselor of independence
vs. intimacy.
Hylonome, one of the rare female centaurs, was the wife of the Centaur Cyl-
larus. Cyllarus was killed by a javelin thrown by an unknown warrior at the debacle of
the wedding of Pirithous. Distraught with her loss, Hylonome thrust herself onto the
javelin that killed her husband, thus ending her grief and pain.
Intrinsic in this Centaur is the distinction of ego and self separate from rela-
tionship. Value of self as a function of love, relating, or interaction becomes confused
in the interest of regaining a clear perception of the value of self.
The processes of ending pain and grief—a consistent Centaur theme—clearly
reside here. Zane Stein and his colleagues suggest that their research implies
Hylonome to be significant in charts of suicide. This does not imply that transits to or
from Hylonome increase the danger of self-destruction. Actually, such patterns seek
resolution of what ever causes pain in life because of loss of self-esteem or loss of love.
Healing of previous loves no longer present also come to the table of resolution.

excellent communication, articulate, precise. Negative: verbose, boast-
