PHOLUS MEANING
In mythology, Pholus was a centaur who had to surgically remove an arrow from Nessus after being shot by Heracles. Unfortunately to his dismay - that arrow was poisoned, and he died from the surgical procedure.
Pholus in asteroid astrology reveals themes of tower moments, things falling apart so we can piece them back together, critical turning points and interpersonal crisis.
Surgical skill is prominent with Pholus since he attempted to save Nessus. Surgical skill isn’t only medical. Generally speaking surgery is the process of removal, dissecting, repairing. But how does this show up in mundane interpretation?
Those with Pholus strong in their chart can show up in careers that utilize this. From culinary where one dices food, being a literal surgeon, someone who works with tattoos or hair styling (since both use surgical grade equipment). Pholus also shows up in the charts of those who dabble in embroidery, stained glass and mosaic art since the processes approaching these art styles is directly surgical (cutting glass, piercing it together to fit perfectly like a game of operation). I’ve seen Pholus in Cancer in the 6th house show up as a water electrician for example!
Pholus is an incredible asteroid when it comes to understanding our healing with transforming from the ripples we experience in life. We learn that things do fall apart - but this allows us an ability to piece things back together in better ways.
In the spiritual department Pholus is huge as well. Have you ever met a cord cutter or someone who works with removing, repairing energy? This is also Pholus. Energy work is very surgical.
The asteroid Pholus deeply reminds me of Kintsugi that originates from Japan. When a base breaks, they piece it back together with gold.
We inherently have skills as surgeons but this mindset shows up in how we process and piece together ourselves too. In areas of academics this comes up in those work in fields of science, research and more.
