I tend to agree with this as well...And it could be the same for nessus/ASC.

I have it with my partner (nessus/ASC) and he is not physically abusive. I don't fear that he would be either.

Interesting. I too have my Nessus on the ASc. of my long-term partner.

I indeed "wanted" him ferociously.
Would I have EVER abused him just to have him?
------------Never in a million years, thanks to INTEGRITY, and RESPONSIBILITY.

Turns out he wanted me just as much

Adding to this, my significant other's nessus is conjunct my ascendant by 3 degrees I believe (maybe less), while we have had our issues with boundaries being crossed(Venus square pluto in synastry is trying), he is a caring, loving and supportive partner. I was a childhood abuse victim, grew up in a home with DV, and a victim of sexual abuse. When I first told him about it, he cried. This man never cries, he couldn't remember the last time he had cried before that. I live with him and have been with him for 2 years, he is not abusive, nor am I to him. The seemingly cold Virgo man breaks down and cries at the thought of my abuse, he's no abuser.

To tie in the theory of connecting Nessus to Pluto, my pluto is in Sagittarius 2nd house. I've seen highs and lows with materialism. One of the more attractive things to me about my SO is that he's a provider, and spoils me. Some could say that I abuse with money looking for a sugar daddy, that's not it at all. I see money as power and a defense, I didn't choose my SO because of his money and I would never take advantage of it. However, I do gain benefits from it.

Many of you will know of the sighting in 1992 and 1993 of two more Centaurs, who were officially named Pholus and Nessus in 1996 and 1997 respectively. It is significant that these sightings also coincided with the Uranus/Neptune conjunction in Capricorn.

Nessus correlates to Saturn/Pluto energies, though its orbit is equally elliptical, taking 124 years. It crosses the orbits of Uranus and Neptune but does not actually touch the orbit of Saturn, just entering the inner sphere of Pluto's orbit. The mid-point of its orbit is exactly between Uranus and Neptune, and it was discovered between the first and second of their conjunctions. Melanie Reinhart tells us that as Nessus does not physically cross the orbits of Saturn or Pluto, " the Nessus process is probably one that does not mean to be enacted or put into material form, but rather that it acts as a transformer and linker of the energies of Saturn and Pluto" - my research to date supports this theory. She points out that Hercules plays a major role in all three of the Chiron, Pholus and Nessus myths, but it is only in the myth of Nessus that he actually dies himself. So if one accepts Hercules as being linked to the solar hero within, then the Nessus process asks that we raise our consciousness and transform the egocentric energy of the solar hero (Leo) by showing that we are enlightened beings, ready to co-operate with one another (Aquarius). It is no coincidence that last summer we entered a 2 year (approx) transit of the Leo/Aquarius Lunar nodes/eclipse cycle.

Nessus is associated with all that is buried in the individual as well as the collective subconscious - the poisonous/shadow side we have suppressed, as well as man-made values/beliefs that are part of our ancestral inheritance and now need to be confronted and transformed. Rather than keeping the karmic wheel rolling by action and reaction, we are being asked to first reflect and consider the consequences of such a reaction. The Saturn/Pluto mid-point as well as the Taurus/Scorpio, 2nd/8th house axis and Venus/Pluto issues are all Nessus sensitive. Nessus energy positively used, gives us the Saturn/Pluto determination to succeed against all odds, as well as the ability to realign our values - negatively, our repressed sexual needs may overwhelm us, we may refuse to let go of past conditioning by seeking retribution, as well as use bribery and corruption as a way to amass wealth. The introduction of the Euro as a result of the authorities' mismanagement of financial resources and now as a challenge to the supremacy of the US Dollar, as well as the crumbling economies of many third world countries, are all indicative of the Nessus energy, showing that we need to realign our values. Individual and mundane transits are often accompanied by a burning sensation, burning with anger, envy, greed, passion/lust, physical burning, either of oneself, one's possessions or fires, burning of natural resources forests/land etc. Melanie Reinhart aptly refers to the Centaurs as " the emissaries of the underworld" - Pluto being Lord of the Underworld responsible for destruction as well as evolution - and Pluto usually accompanies Nessus transits. I have found that for mundane events, apart from the accompanying Pluto transit, the trigger for a Nessus transit is usually a Saturn/Pluto or a Venus/Pluto aspect, or a new/full Moon within 2 degrees of transiting Nessus. Nessus in Sagittarius has been highlighting the individual and collective shadow, power and corruption, in legal affairs, religion, foreign affairs, publishing, education etc. When it moves briefly into Capricorn from March to May 1999, we will get a glimpse of what will be in store once it moves definitely into that sign from November - high on the agenda will be corruption within the establishment - government/politics, church, and big business.
