Nessus - a Centaur
Astrology:
Nessus speaks of abuse, neglection and denial and or our reaction to such situations. More on an emotional level though – sometimes we feel such in situations with other people and when we can clarify it with the person involved, we find out, it wasn’t meant in such a way at all, an “illusion” which we created ourselves. He’s more like showing where we have a tendency to victimize ourselves and even may create direct self-abusing tendencies. Where as Ixion speaks of where we may have a tendency to "overrule" others.
He has a "gift" to offer though - when we "spiritualize" the situations or "life-lessons" (seeing through them and take them as a "finger of god") instead of becoming a victim of them, we may find a good "Teacher" in him...
Because of his orbit, it's good to check on Uranus, Neptune and Orcus and other Bodies in that orbital distance.

He persuaded Deianeira to take of his blood, which he told her, would prevent Herakles to ever become unfaithful. When Herakles really fell for another woman, Deianeira did apply Nessus' blood onto Herakles clothes, which did poison him by burning.....
