Selena, Eris in Astrology and the Undigested Shadow

The story of Selena is the story of Astrological Eris

The story of Selena came to me via an interesting synchronicity. Within a 24 hour time period, somebody from Corpus Christi, Texas visited my website, and an influencer I follow on YouTube, Pisces R’us posted a video about Selena Quintanilla, whose family is from Corpus Christi.

I didn’t know about the existence of the beautiful Mexican American singer, possibly because I was never much into music, and I don’t watch much tv either. But instantly I recognised the importance of her story, and its vital addition to this website.

The Astrology of Eris

This will be brief, because previous articles on this website describes Eris energy in great detail. Eris, the dwarf planet, or 10th planet after Pluto, is new in our consciousness, so any writing concerning Eris is pioneering work. As you read this article, you will come to understand why it is so important to share this.

The lesson is in the story.

Many people are currently looking for information and ways to cope with the emotional and mental energies they are experiencing.

The name Selena is greek for goddess of the moon. After exploring Selena’s birth chart, progressions and transits, it become very clear to me that this beautiful vibrant woman also had another goddess energy at play in the last few years of her life, contributing to her success, popularity, goddess-like status, and authenticity that made her well loved, to this very day. She boldly stated her truth to the world, and they loved her for it.

She’s an Aries Sun, with a progressed Venus and a progressed Mercury also in Aries, all of which were in the last decan of Aries, before she tragically passed away. She was genuine, warm, compassionate, energetic, heart centred, confident, with loving intention. She forged new territory for herself with the help of her family, and was also an unconventional maverick, yet adored by her followers for her strength and integrity. And her chart shows that… Yet in the last few months of her life, it also indicates she may have experienced complex personal challenges, despite being at the height of her career, and the celebrated belle of the ball…

Astrologer Divine Harmony recently described Eris in a way that relates to Selena’s situation, and how her friend Yolanda may have been triggered by her. Eris brings in disruption and chaos, but she also reveals the shadow aspects. The mythological story of Eris included the contention amongst three Greek goddesses (Hera, Athena and Aphrodite) over who was the “fairest“, or most beautiful. This also relates to the contention, or issues, amongst sisterhood; hidden competition among women, jealousies, begrudging, and other ‘things’ that are not visible on the surface. Eris energy is a disruptive factor, but she disrupts those things, that had been trapped and suppressed below the surface for some time; simmering, boiling, seething. Like a volcano that had been dormant, yet stirring for some time, now seeking the path of least resistance for an exit, or an expression; to release the tension, so to speak. This tension was definitely on Yolanda’s side, but I do believe that Selena may have been aware of the undercurrents for some time. But these are the ‘hidden’ things, that are difficult to put a name to… especially if it is someone close, that you trust…

Troubles brewing amongst the sisterhood

Divine Harmony highlights an important factor about Eris in mythology; she disrupts things that had already been there amongst the goddesses, hiding in the undigested shadow, that need to come to the surface.

Eris didn’t create the issues, she just revealed them…

“[Eris] She’s actually quite positive in shining a light on the shadow, and bringing things into the focus that nobody wanted to look at, or want to see. She is amazing at pulling back the curtain, and seeing who is running things, like the Wizard of Oz. Like that moment, when you pull back the curtains, and you see who is running everything. That is very Erisian. She is amazing for activists, she heralds the return of the female warrior goddess archetype… Eris represents the warrior. The one who will go to battle. The one who will turn things upside down, and explode things from the inside out, in order to create change.”

Eris’ fierce feminine energy has been heavily in the spotlight since the start of 2020, due to the Eris square Pluto aspect now affecting the human collective. It has become very apparent to me, that from all different angles, people are desperate to understand, and make better sense of their experiences. Honouring the illumination, and understanding of this action oriented energy, is going to change the world. This is the feminine energy that is coming in and saying “no”, because the world cannot wait for individuals to get wiser, or grow up into integrity, Eris energy is taking a stand for change NOW...

 
In the birth chart it [Eris] describes a place within the psyche that represents, by default, a person’s insecurities and how he or she deals with them being triggered by others. The ultimate truth is that each person needs others to catalyse him or her into growth, and with Eris this process can be difficult.

Eris square Pluto: Facing the Shadow, and Finding Healthy Outlets for Anger and Righteous Rage

At the 20 minute time marker, Divine Harmony describes the energies currently at play from a psychological astrology point of view. Pluto, the lord of the underworld exposes shadows, and Eris, the goddess of discord and chaos, also exposes via the discontent of the heart. This transit started in the beginning of 2020, with three exact square aspects during 2020. There will be two more on 27 August 2021, and 8 October 2021.

The curtains are currently being pulled back, and what is seen in the hearts of people in one’s close circle, may be quite shocking. There may be vicious competition, backstabbing, nastiness, jealousy etc. Many people are distancing themselves from relationships, that was previously close, because of the things that are suddenly realised, and seen for what they really are. A hot and heavy fire…

The archetype of Astrological Eris is associated with that which is being exposed, or revealed for its true nature, and people’s true colours coming up to the surface. The masks are coming off, tumultuous and dark feelings and hidden intentions are revealed. Eris energy is the rude awakenings, being triggered by what is revealed, repressed emotions rising, and psychological baggage. The people who continued to tuck their emotions and feelings away, because they did not want to do the psychological work to face their shadow aspects, cannot hide anymore, as the facades

are ripped off. The truth is; many are experiencing discontent and strife in their hearts. Some see other people’s good energy, their growth, and heart-happy experiences, and suffer envy, among other things. Toxic behaviour and war-mongering are inevitable where there are feelings of discontent and jealousy.

This brilliant article explains in detail why Eris energy can be felt as volatile, emotionally disruptive and out of control. Eris energy by design, is meant to help clear stuck, old emotional habits that are deeply ingrained. Emotional disturbances are actually meant to take us to higher ground, and release old states of being.

When Eris is in storm period (which lasts about a week before her station) don't be surprised to find emotional disturbances everywhere you turn. Keep to your Self, and stay out of other people's business, even when they try to pull you in. Stay as centred as you can, keep breathing, and let those storms rage. They are clearing the field… Having a healthy outlet for anger and righteous rage is very important during such times. Eris’ disruptive effects can linger for quite a stretch while we get over the upheaval she creates.

The Undigested Shadow

Eris energy is the discord of the heart, and the strife that follows. Discord comes from a latin word. (Dis) has to do with separating or dividing things. And the latter (cor), means heart.

Discord is a sense of something being in separation from our heart.

When important personal emotions, disappointments, and issues had been continually stuffed down and ignored, it can make some people disassociate with their feelings, which is very bad indeed, as detailed in previous articles. We all have problems, but some of us cause our own problems, and then we need to find a way to deal with them.

Sun Image.jpeg

Eris shows that if we don’t invite the shadow, and the disowned parts of ourselves in, Eris energy shows up anyway… to turn everything upside down…

Eris is a metaphor for both matters of the heart in relationship with Self, and conscious relationship between people. It is best that all parties deal with their psychological and emotional issues themselves, and timely. So they can enjoy healthy bonds, instead of taking the results of their unresolved issues, out on others.

Discord prevents the heart from hearing its echo, its correspondence; meaning what is in alignment with the heart. This is an opportunity for growth. A chance to gain insight and understanding. What does the ego mind, the negative entities, Zeus, Paris etc. hate most of all? People who elevated above them into a stable, abundant and joyful life. This is why character assassins target innocent people they envy.

The single most reliable thing I have found in astrology is that everything has a front, and a back. Every symbol has a higher purpose, as well as a dark side.
Vicious competitiveness is the dark side of Eris. She likes to win, but not as much as she likes to see you lose.

Abuse of Generosity, Underhanded Behaviour, and Karmic Justice?

Who was Yolanda Saldívar?

Yolanda was at first a fan of Selena’s music and the president of the local fan club, then an employee. She was older than Selena. Selena eventually allowed Yolanda into her personal life, as a very close and highly privileged friend.

According to reports, there seems to have been many red flags. People were warning Selena of Yolanda’s underhanded behaviour, but Selena reportedly dismissed it. Perhaps because she was very young, inexperienced at business, or very busy… In hindsight, there seems to have been secret obsessions, ego entitlement, foul and hidden intentions based on reports. It seems to an onlooker that Selena was switched up on, backstabbed, deceived and betrayed in the worse kind of ways…

Abundant Opportunities

Yolanda was provided opportunities aplenty, to partake in the abundance of Selena and her family’s empire, stretching across multiple platforms: music, entertainment, fashion, make-up etc.

Selena was Yolanda’s wish fulfilment in many ways. Selena brought satisfaction, hearts-desire opportunities, and abundance-galore to Yolanda’s life.

However, Yolanda may have chosen to allow her low vibrational emotions, which may have led to abuse of Selena’s generosity, friendship, and trust.

Karmic Justice

What sort of person bites the hand that feeds them with such unfettered benevolence? Who harms the person they profess to love? From Eris’ point of view; it is the unsatisfied and unfulfilled. Perhaps also the unaware, immature and emotionally stunted; as previous articles illustrates… Was Yolanda jealous of Selena’s energy? Yolanda is now getting severe karmic justice, for reportedly bringing underhanded behaviour, and severe sorrow to the Quintanilla family. Why? Because she could not master her emotions? There are many other articles on this website detailing the nature of the karmic justice that Eris doles out, when there had been injustice. In this case, Yolanda has to sit in her confinement, while Selena’s memory and empire lives on, 25 years later.

It wasn’t an enemy that did this. It was not a stranger. This was someone who Selena considered to love, and have a lot of faith and trust in. This was a true friend and confidant. That is pretty alarming.
— Pisces R'us

Pisces R’us warns in her video the danger of not paying attention to the red flags in relationships; that there are people around who are not authentic. She warns that if a circle of friends, or a group of people don’t show support for you publicly, that’s a problem, and a red flag. Yolanda was trusted with financial and social responsibilities, and when allegedly caught red handed, she did the unthinkable. Pisces R’us explains why giving questionable people chance after chance, and the benefit of the doubt, may be putting your Self at a disadvantage. It is during Eris transits (and progressions), that people who had been hiding behind a mask, slip up, and show you who they truely are, their selfish intentions, and how they really feel about you. She asks that her followers always pay close attention to the verbal, and non-verbal communication of the people around them.

Eris acts as a benefic if you are willing to grow and learn and integrate the lessons acquired.
— Lynn Koiner, Astrology Researcher

I watched a few videos about Selena on YouTube to learn more about her, and she seems to have been an incredibly heart centred, strong young woman with a lot of stamina. I also watched a few interviews and stories about her; how loved and famous she was, and still is. Billboard magazine named her the top-selling Latin artist of the 1990s decade. Selena was already a huge star in her own right, but was on the verge of becoming an international sensation. She was an influencer and activist, in true Eris style, but her life was tragically cut short 25 years ago. When asked why she was so popular, to this very day, her father Abraham replied in this interview: “it was not just the artist, but the person”, with her sister adding “what you saw is what you got”.

“She was funny, she had this amazing laughter and this amazing charisma, in making everyone feel like knew her for a very long time.”

Selena’s Bio: The Queen of Tejano Music

The Eris archetype play out in various ways, but however that is expressed, she stands out by creating radical moves that reverberate and eventually have great influence on our culture and society. Eris has certainly given Selena a key in understanding the actions that we can take to shift global dynamics as active agents of change, by being AUTHENTIC and TRUE. Selena was able to tap into the higher expression of Eris energy brilliantly.

According to Wikipedia, Selena Quintanilla-Pérez was an American singer, songwriter, spokesperson, businesswoman, model, actress, and fashion designer. Referred to as the "Queen of Tejano music", her contributions to music and fashion made her one of the most celebrated Mexican-American entertainers of the late 20th century.

In 1997, Warner Bros. released Selena, a film about her life and career, which starred a then-unknown Jennifer Lopez as Selena, catapulting her into fame. In 2020, Netflix released Selena: The Series starring Christian Serratos. Selena has sold around 30 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling female artists in Latin music.

Selena’s life was tragically ended, when a fan, who became a friend and confidant shot her two weeks before Selena’s 24th birthday. Selena was allegedly killed on 31 March 1995 by Yolanda Saldívar, the former fan and manager. Selena passed away due to a gunshot wound to her subclavian artery.

Selena: The Series explores her journey from singing small gigs to becoming the most successful female Latin artist of all time — and the years of hard work and sacrifice the Quintanilla family navigated together. Starring Christian Serratos, Gabriel Chavarria, Ricardo Chavira, Noemí Gonzalez, and Seidy López. Part one of the two-part series premiered on Netflix on December 4, 2020.

The Astrology of Selena’s Homocidal Departure

Selena’s death by homocide chart shows that on 31 March 1995, transiting Eris was at 17 degrees 54 minutes Aries. Her progressed chart shows that her progressed Venus had been conjunct transit Eris for a number of years My interpretation of this is, that relationships issues as it pertains to Eris and the heart, had been brewing for quite some years. The undercurrent and potential for relationships issues, as it relates to Eris issues, had been there.

Also, Selena’s progressed moon at the time of her unfortunate departure, was at 22 degrees of Scorpio, making multiple other contacts in her chart. The progressed moon was not only opposite the progressed Sun in Taurus, conjunct natal Saturn, but also square her natal lunar nodes. The progressed moon is in the sensitive sign of Scorpio, which tells me that in the months leading up to her death, on an emotional level, Selena might have already been quite aware of powerful undercurrents in herself and those around her. There can be a hunger now for deeper experiences and more powerful bonds. Emotional commitments come into focus. This article explains how a transition of a progressed Moon into Scorpio, may herald a time of significant change, when red flags that had been ignored, now become a priority. Scorpio wants the most loyal and true of connections, and self-protection

becomes a modus operandi. Superficial acquaintances, or fickle and flighty friends, are seen in a different light, and might leave one’s life. There is a recognition that head over heart choices may need to be made. This change in her, may have been challenging those around her too. I suspect Selena may have been sensing emotional undercurrents, around her. (Perhaps her generosity being taken advantage of, or things like foul play, deception, betrayal or envy?) A progressed Moon in Scorpio can alert a person to things they may otherwise have been swept under the rug before, during the previous progressed Moon in Libra phase.

Her progressed Moon and Sun opposing each other, shows that there may have been an inner conflict in her. Between an inner urge to pull away into privacy and seclusion (prog Moon in Scorpio), as a form of self-preservation. And a desire for outer Self expression into the world (prog Sun in Taurus), along with her usual responsibilities (natal Saturn in Taurus). The progressed Sun and Moon were both squaring the nodes of fate, showing that this was indeed a significant time period in her life, where there was tension, and she may have felt like she needed to make decisive decisions; due to her own inner evolving needs.

She might have been further in conflict with herself, between the emotional urge to pull back into her private life, because her progressed Mercury (communication) was conjunct her natal Sun in Aries (self expression with confidence). Her urge to communicate or express herself boldly, may have been further inflamed by natal Mercury square transit Uranus. And before I forget, her transit Eris conjunct progressed Venus, was squared by her natal Mars in Capricorn. This woman had stamina!

Conclusions?

When explored from a bigger picture, her chart tells me that Selena may have been experiencing a huge inner struggle towards the end of her life. On the one side, she might have been secretly feeling vulnerable and emotionally sensitive (prog Moon in Scorpio), as opposed to multiple other urges to express herself and communicate boldly and joyfully. A great personal struggle and dilemma, indeed…

Selena was at the height of her career, with two very strong and bold, but conflicting personal needs at play.

When I consider the birth chart, with the progressions and transits, it is my opinion that transit Eris conjunct Selena’s progressed Venus (relationships, financial success), might have been instrumental in the brewing of red flags like envy, obsessions, and deception in others around her, as purported by the media and other online sources. The other strong influences, and her urge to self-express and communicate boldly at the time, while feeling vulnerable on an emotional level at the same time, might have contributed to the events that unfolded.

I can see in her birth chart that she was indeed a lovely, passionate, and compassionate person, with a strong moral backbone and integrity. Such a loss to the world to loose her so young…

My condolences to her family, friends and followers.

Yolanda’s Astrology Chart

This comparison shows that the two women had similarities in their charts, that may have contributed to the turbulence they experienced in their relationship.

Selena’s Venus was at 20 degrees, 33 minutes of Aries at the time of her departure. According to the details found on this website, Yolanda Saldivar had her natal Venus at 20 degrees 50 minutes Libra. It is curious that Selena’s progressed Venus was in very close orb, opposed to Yolanda’s natal Venus at the time of her departure… Both women were triggered by Venus and Eris at the time, especially Yolanda.

I also suspect that both women were feeling the psychological effects of having a progressed personal planet in the sign of

Scorpio. Yolanda’s progressed Sun had only been in the sign of Scorpio for a few months, before the incident took place.

Yolanda was also affected by a transit Uranus square to her progressed Sun, adding to potential impulsivity. Selena was influenced by transit Uranus to her natal Mercury and natal Mars, also lending her some impulsivity as it relates to communication and taking action. And curiously, Selena’s progressed Moon was conjunct Yolanda’s progressed Mercury in Scorpio.

Based on this astrological information, it would seem that the two women were triggering and activating each other quite a bit at the time, both emotionally, and as far as communication goes.

Venus, and the Art of Rejection

The planet Venus is about relationships, love and trust, as astrologer Steven Forrest highlights in this article. He says that specific people tend to be in our lives to help us learn intimate lessons, to help us grow, and to reject the ones who fail to be of positive help to us. “Recognising those who can help you and sharing life with them is perhaps the greatest treasure this world can offer”, he said.

“Venus doesn’t “love everybody” – that’s Neptune’s job. Venus picks and chooses, and that means some element of rejection must always be part of the process. Venusian love is personal. It is “me and you” stuff, not “me and the human race.””

Many people imagine Venus the “goddess of love” greeting us doe-eyed and receiving us into her heart without even a smidgeon of criticism, hesitation, or pre-conditions. People sometimes spend their lives looking for that kind of idealistic love. Steven says, that they are humanity’s tragic romantics. It is Neptune, not Venus, that loves people unconditionally.

Venus is the planet of relationships, money and beauty, and as an astrologer, I consider this planet an important factor in the interactions

between the two women. Selena’s natal Venus is in Pisces, and Neptune is the natural ruler of Pisces. This may add understanding of Selena naturally loving nature, with the tendency to see people through eyes of her love of Self, and perhaps giving people too much of the benefit of the doubt…

Selena’s progressed Venus, was exactly opposed to Yolanda’s natal Venus at the time of the unfortunate incident. These women were the only two in the hotel room where Selena was shot in the back and shoulder. Considering their charts, and what was activated and triggered, these women had things to sort out… Clearly trust had been harmed, and both potentially had been feeling hurt and very sensitive. The situation might have turned out differently, had Yolanda not brought a gun with her…

Eris Individuals Shine and Glow Brightly, like Magic

AdobeStock_394896052 goddess yellow.jpg

I loved how the opening scene of the Netflix Selena series, showed that the name Selena is greek for goddess of the moon. Selena did grow into a beautiful goddess, that shone from within. Her natal potential shows Selena already had talent, but with Eris transiting her progressed Venus, potentials rose.

Selena’s authentic Self was magical; a lasting legacy no doubt.

After all my research, it is clear to me that people may be jealous of Eris energy in the positive expression, flowing boldly through a person. I have lived it myself. This dynamic is quite evident to me, as someone who have experienced Eris’ magical higher expression delights…

This is not something you can fake. This is not something haters can replicate. It comes from the heart, and unless you find it in your Self, forget about embodying the magic…

Selena had this natural inclination to shine, and from what can be perceived from the movie, and tv series, she was supported by her entire family to radiate her innate beauty and lovely, genuine sensuality (natal Venus in Pisces). The family’s collective success and livelihood depended on it. Not many people are born into a unit, where they receive such encouragement and nurturing to project that energy publicly, and in a healthy way. Kudos to the family. Unfortunately, it may have triggered a mixture of feelings in other people…

From what I can see in the two women’s charts, Selena enjoyed transit Eris conjunct to her progressed Venus. This means that she was conjoined, or one, with the energy, and able to express it positively, also thanks to encouragement. Yolanda on the other side, had her Venus directly opposed to Eris. Oppositions in astrology are aspects of tension, of having to reconcile two opposing and conflicting energies. I have respect for Yolanda as a human being, yet I do believe that it is good that these things are discussed, and brought into the open.

This is Eris energy after all. What you don’t invite to the party, crashes the party….

With Eris energy, you can run, but you can’t hide… It is better to fess up and be honest with your Self. Throw a hissy fit if you must, but take responsibility for your Self, so you can benefit from the energy, instead of it working against you.

Choose how you work with Eris Energy

Never underestimate the depth of the emotions someone may feel, because you stir their insecurities.

Eris_symbol_variant Blue Super Light.png

It might have been difficult for Yolanda, because clearly she did not compare to Selena, in many ways. Yolanda may have been able to find her own magic, had she taken the time to focus on her Self (and shadow work), instead of focussing on Selena. But I can see that Yolanda would have been very challenged in staying close to Selena. How much longer could the illusion of commitment and support have been maintained? Oppositions are aspects of tension, between the haves and the have nots. Tension, between the this and that.

Eris is truth revelation. No matter how unsavoury…

This relationship is a classic example of someone who may have been focussing on someone else’s blessings too much, and potentially turned sour, that she did not have it as well (or could not access it in her Self). It might have been easier for Yolanda to end the relationship; to ease the tension she may have been feeling. However, Yolanda may have been magnetically drawn to Selena, who had been Eris qualities personified, for many years. My astrological conclusion is that, unfortunately, Yolanda may not have been able to work through the emotional triggers, issues and psychological baggage, this huge discrepancy potentially stirred in her.

In his podcast (23 min), astrologer Tom Jacobs explains that Eris is where we lash out when we feel weak or timid, and we ask ourselves; what do we do when we feel others are triggering us? When others challenge us, push our buttons, and make us feel small. Or when we feel vulnerable, because others are mocking us, or are stronger than us in a certain area, or we feel excluded. This is where we have to learn how to deal with emotions and allow them, and get grounded.

This is what astrologer Henry Selzer had to say about Eris individuals in a The Mountain Astrologer article:

“…We will be taking an astrological look at those individuals who have gone against the grain of established science or culture in order to develop their own unique viewpoint and, in so doing, created a new way of seeing the world around them. I am speaking most specifically of those individuals throughout the history of science who were instrumental in bringing about what is now known as a “paradigm shift” by changing the rules of the game — the pre-existing “laws” of nature. By creating something rich and strange, these intrepid souls were fated to establish a new viewpoint that then became the next established paradigm.”

“The research I have conducted for several years confirms that individuals with a strong Eris will fight for what they believe in and that they must follow their own inner compass in so doing. Their mission comes from deep inside them and could be equated with what I have been calling “soul purpose” — that which, once you are aware of it, you cannot refrain from doing. My thesis is that everyone has such a sense of purpose and that one priority of life is to discover it. This is related to the Hindu concept of dharma, the set of tasks you came into this lifetime to fulfill. Eris, like Pluto, refers to the depths of the psyche, to areas within us that are relatively unconscious.

One way of looking at life is that our mission is to make the unconscious areas of our psyche more available to our conscious understanding. Then, too, we all might need to heed the oft-repeated injunction from historian of myth Joseph Campbell, to “follow your bliss,” to find within ourselves our own unique hidden talent that we were born to develop. This is why the emergence of this key archetypal energy is so vital and alive for us now.”

This is what astrologer Divine Harmony had to say about the importance of understanding Eris and her role in the 21st century:

“This is an amazing time for shadow work. I am partial to it, and the astrology is ripe for this level of work; turning towards all our stuff, instead of projecting it out, being in denial, avoiding it, sweeping it under the carpet. Because the shadow we don’t know, we don’t own, can run us, and can actually trip us up. But the shadow we turn towards, to work with, becomes a whole other level of operating. It becomes an ally. It becomes empowerment. It becomes information that helps us become more centred into our adult self, so that we are not slipping into these patterns of triggers and reactionary ways of being. So we can catch ourselves, and understand the motive underneath it, the wounding, so that we can choose differently… This is the work that is going to heal and transform the world.”

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

I sincerely hope no one takes offence to my interpretation of her chart of departure. It was kindly meant, to show how people can be triggered by each other.

The lesson of Eris is deeply embedded in Selena’s story. I hope others can benefit from this information, and apply it to their lives in a positive way. Eris higher expression leaves a mark, the lower expression leaves a scar.

Perhaps, this helps readers better understand Eris in their own astrology charts, and why Eris energy is so pronounced at this time. Perhaps even prevent another person from missing the red flags, to steer clear of intense heartbreak… The dwarf planet Eris is new in our consciousness and needs to be explored more broadly through people who embody her energy, wether by transit or progression, or the birth chart. I wrote my interpretation because I have similarities to Selena in by birth chart. By progressions in the last decan of Aries, I have some similar experience of what she may have experienced in the last few months of her life. Both my progressed Sun and Mercury have completed conjunctions to Eris, amongst other things... I can honestly say that I have some personal understanding of this situation…

Selena is gone, and there may have been some human justice for what happened to her. We may never know exactly what happened, what was said, or what went on in the heart of Yolanda. How true is what the gossip mongers purport?

But there are many situations in life where people feel threatened by another. Perhaps the other person is abundant, or popular, gets all the attention, enjoys wealth, or seems to have all the luck. In striving for justice, balance and equilibrium in life, people need to realise that in order to grow into the person you would like to be, you have to work on your Self, not try to emulate others. Not try to take from them, or ruin them.

Personal success and good energy, always starts with your relationship with Self. How honourable are you in relationship when nobody is watching? If you need help sorting out your emotional troubles, get help, please!

This website contains multiple articles that describe in depth, the astrology of Eris, which won’t be repeated in this article. Enjoy the educational journey, and may the information bless your life.
