	Pholus
		In Greek mythology, Pholos or Pholus was a wise centaur and friend of Herakles who lived in a cave on or near Mount Pelion.
		Pholus, like Chiron, was civilized, and indeed in art sometimes shared the "human-centaur" form in which Chiron was usually depicted (that is, he was a man from head to toe, but with the center and hindparts of a horse attached to his buttocks).
		To further account for the unsually civil behavior of Pholus, Apollodorus wrote that his parents were Silenus and one of the Meliae, thus differentiating him genealogically from the other centaurs, as Chiron was known to be.

		While this persuit and second combat was occurring, Pholus, back in his cave, accidentally wounded himself with one of the venomous arrows while he was either marveling at how such a small thing could kill a centaur (Apollodorus) or preparing the corpses for burial (Diodoros).

		Pholus was a Centaur, he was kind and being hospitable gave food and shelter to Heracles.

		Heracles persuaded Pholus to open the jar, which he did reluctantly, as soon as the seal was broken the heavy aroma of strong wine drifted down through the forest.

	RAISING OUR CONSCIOUSNESS WITH THE NEW CENTAURS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Pholus transits are associated with "new frontier" situations – it is an instinctive impulsive energy that dissolves old barriers and one is challenged to jump into previously unchartered waters.
		Pholus, retrograding back and forth between 24 and 29 degrees Libra between March July will be helping to dissolve old attitudes when it once again conjuncts the south node and opposes the Sun and Venus for the last time in September, opening the way for a final resolution of the difficulties.

		Pholus implies the restoration of innocence, self forgiveness of sin, release of infatuation with power and destruction and pure, primal activation of the coiled serpent (Kundalini).

		Unlike Chiron, however, which is pretty much gray all over, Pholus is very red — in fact, the reddest known object in the Solar System; also unlike Chiron, it doesn't appear to develop a comet-like coma when near perihelion.
		Its infrared spectrum has a feature in the 2-micron region that had never been seen before and is possibly related to whatever makes Pholus so red.
		The most likely explanation is that Pholus is covered with organic molecules that started off as simple ices but were converted into more complex, stable molecules by millions of years of bombardment by cosmic rays.
