The Eris square Pluto aspect ushered in massive change, with five direct hits from 2020-2021, ending the orb of influence in 2024, which is when Eris conjunct Chiron starts in July 2024, ending its orb of influence in April 2027. In the discovery chart of both trans-Neptunian object Eris and asteroid Chiron, Mars is in the 8th house and the Sun at its zenith in the 10th, signifying COVERT COMPETITIVE ATTACKS to steal from or create an ending for another person in the social scene. Why? For Eris, it’s about domestic violence, judgements and confusion regarding who an exceptional person really is, shifting blame to make them into a villain.
Just like all the other planets and trans-Neptunian objects, Eris energy too has a higher and a lower expression and is about chaos, rebellion, and transformation. It’s about the grande illusions of superiority of the clout-hungry, who desperately needed to be seen and maintained as the good guy, but who also needed a target to be made the scapegoat, via UNDERHANDED BEHAVIOUR. It’s about speaking about someone in a spitefully critical manner, maligning their character, for the BIGOT to take a gain from it.
The Eris polarity is about good versus ill intentions, and how ultimately the rotten BIGOTRY or agenda you have for others, you do unto yourself. Culturing bad design for others is a sign of lack of self-love, which is in essence self-harm; there is no integrity, no honour nor principle in it, for it takes one in a downward spiral into low vibrational ego justification, for making judgements on others and evil wrongdoing in general. Preying on another’s social downfall, and have them crawl through the sewers of your making, might just create your own downfall…
Eris in mythology is generally seen as the hot mess antagonist who caused chaos and destruction, but who is really to blame? One need to understand the ‘astrological parties’ in the discovery chart, the motivation, the place of lack, the pain, the secret competitor and the insecurity, to understand Eris energy, with the lower expression the chaos, confusion, the art of war and hate, and the higher expression clarity, peace, self-acceptance, exceptionality and self-love. Its about the root of a cockamamie disaster, which is like following a bread crumb trail, to what first caused the fall of an empire, the smear-campaign that silenced a potential whistleblower / truth-speaker, and what led to the discord in the heart of a good man who was setup up to fall flat on his face, defamed, but eventually was seen as the only epic hero in a messy situation. It’s the CLARITY that slowly rises to the top, perhaps after many years, and the seeing and questioning of the GREED, JEALOUSY and ABUSE OF POWER, for what it really was. The characters at the start of Homer’s Iliad provides lessons and commentary on human behaviour, especially what motivates people to do things for STATUS or FAME, to extend/accept a bribe for a selfish gain, like Hera’s offered influence in political power, Athena’s pride in wise victory, Aphrodite’s desire for beauty, and Paris’ lust for social clout elevation in having the most beautiful woman in the world used as an object for his social climbing triumph.
Eris energy in astrology, however, forces the observer to search for motivation from a more obscure point of view, from HINDSIGHT, because the bigger picture TRUTH had been obfuscated with a violent confusion and smear campaign, by the secret competitor, who had other’s believe her exclusion, and the snub of her, was a noble sacrifice. Why? Both Zeus and wife Hera was jealous of the LIGHT OF DIVINITY coursing through an increasing number of gods/mortals on earth like Hercules, innovative warrior Achilles and master alchemist Asclepius,. This is the same LIGHT which teacher Chiron found inside of himself, which paired with IMAGINATION brought forth profound potentials, which is what Chiron taught his own students to access as well, as everyone has the potential to access it within, not only those who proclaim themselves gods. This BEAUTY, LIGHT and DIVINE LOVE is the root of the cockamamie of the Trojan War, because there was jealousy, envy and toxic behaviour because of some ‘perceived’ to have it, and others not.
In the discovery chart of Eris only Zeus (Jupiter in Roman mythology) is prominent in a grand cross, and Eris trines asteroid Achilles and Pluto. Eris in the first house in wide conjunction with the North Node of Fate in Aries, is about one’s right to exist, pioneer and progress in life. This is the house of how the individual/object’s characteristics or sense of expression appears to others, first impressions about them, and how they are seen by others. Eris is in a tight orb GRAND CROSS with Jupiter conjunct Haumea in Libra. At first it may appear as if the other party, Zeus, is in fairness and balance, however both Eris and Jupiter receives a square from trans-Neptunian object Varuna conjunct kingly fixed star Sirius in the fourth house, and the Sun in the 10th house Capricorn. This is the grand cross tug of war, between who is really fair, energetically noble and in social justice order, and who really deserves to shine brightly in the public eye. So what is the root of this very particular
tug of war regarding being dishonourable, cunning and untruthful, when it comes to forcefully discrediting or disproving someone in the eyes of society, having a problem with their existence, due to not wanting the beans to be spilled regarding the truth about their lack of character and secret bad intentions for another? Note how the growth and destiny of the North Node in Aries is on Eris’ side and Jupiter (Zeus) is at the South Node, where the negative qualities of the planet and zodiac sign expresses…
Also, the Sabian symbol for Eris in her discovery chart speaks of an empathic, gracious nurturer with heart. Also, why did Hesiod speak of two different goddesses named Eris? He said of the positive force Eris, who fostered PRODUCTIVE COMPETITION, that ‘a man would praise when he came to understand her’, and that she would stir even the laziest into GOOD STRIFE to work towards their desire for wealth or status, and the envious to work on their own ambition for rewards. BAD STRIFE he said brought blame, burdens, violence, rebellion, war and great pain. While Eris was typically shown as ugly by some ancient artists, some gave her an ordinary or even attractive appearance. She often sported wings and/or winged sandals, which is a symbol for the aspiration of the soul to transcend the human condition and its limitations, which is also a hallmark of trans-Neptunian objects. Eris was often a figure in vase paintings depicting the Judgment of Paris, but in astrological meaning, the characters involved in the tug of war are more narrowed down. There were many JEALOUS SOCIAL CLIMBERS and GOLD DIGGERS in Homer’s Iliad, yet Zeus king of the gods was the biggest, and sleuthest of them all. It was his upbringing of not being heard or seen, and his selfish actions later in life to turn his fortune around, that would lead to him instigating the massive DISCORD IN THE HEART of others, that fed the fire of war, battle and win at all cost mind games to get ahead. This is at the very core of the Eris in astrology conundrum, and helps those in confusion, who are out of touch, get to the root of it all. The apple was just a decoy… to attach blame to the goddess who stood independent and somewhat removed from society due to seeing the hidden drivers behind people’s motivations, but was an easy target for a public persona switch up, via Zeus pointing fingers and CONDEMNING her, deliberately muddling of the perception of society, that Eris was the root source of the cockamamie of the Trojan War… not Paris stealing Helen… Yet Zeus was the one who wanted to destroy those who helped others, as well as saw the truth…
Eris in astrology is about trying to control/disconnect the flow of another’s divine energy, because one party allows the flow of their own energy in service for the good of all, and another who does not, gets ENVIOUS or INSECURE. The root cause of the Trojan War in Homer’s Iliad is king of the gods Zeus who wanted to sabotage the divine symphony of Achilles’ life, and goddess Eris saw through his god-complex, but was silenced from WHISTLEBLOWING with a SLANDER against her character, blamed for having started the trojan war with her apple of discord, when it was Zeus who threw bricks but hid his hands, who schemed the war with Themis in secret, to take Achilles out of his divine flow. Why? To allay his insecurities, be on top, and win control over everyone in a social situation. It was gassed up, social climber Zeus in vengeance (Jupiter in Roman mythology) who started the cockamamie, who wanted elevation and be seen as just, fair and in charge, but was in player behaviour, steeped in immaturity and the gaslighting of others. Attention-seeking, egotist Zeus wanted to block the BLESSINGS connected to the BRIGHT LIGHT of the others, for them to not be seen, heard, nor get recognition for their honour, for the luminous qualities within. Zeus frequently eliminated competition to keep his leadership position, which he abused. Wholesome Achilles was empathic to the plight of humanity oppressed by injustice, and famously said that the gods were jealous, which also include that one was jealous of his PUBLIC PERSONA and how he was loved by all of ancient Greece for his fine inner qualities. There was his super
strength birthright, but more importantly his heart, generosity, temperance and sense of fairness due to his fine education from wise teacher Chiron, see the Chiron blog. In the movie Troy, Brad Pitt as Achilles said that he was convinced that the gods were ENVIOUS of mortals. Was he speaking of empathic people with open hearts, who live their lives to the fullest and get public recognition, which then spurs the god complex’s jealousy to dethrone them from their legacy, from who they uniquely and innately are, with stealth projection of bad energy regarding their CHARACTER, to be better than? Stalker king of the gods Zeus wanted conformity to the law and rules of his society, with him as ruler and protector, but with that he undermined the legitimacy of the justice system. With his stealth he worked against both Eris and Achilles, to devalue, twist and destroy their public persona, for them to loose their ability to be defended with logic, or have justification for their actions, yet in the end Achilles was given SOCIAL VALIDITY, despite his special attributes used against him to steal his life. Both Zeus and his insiders wanted those who Zeus felt threatened by, to be rejected, CENSURED, made GUILTY, and be sacrificed due to BIGOTRY, trying to cheat fate and create karmic completion on someone’s fortunate life.
Eris energy in astrology carries a lesson about having loving energy, sweetness, goodness, lightness of being, and good fortune, and the fruits of embracing devil energy upon seeing another’s substance or opulence, that consumes the envier to the point of losing spiritual inheritance due to being an energy draining snake in the grass. It’s about pointing the finger in the wrong direction - projecting violent energy at another - because the self-indulgent energy vampire won’t take accountability for their demons. Someone has a jackpot and another who perceives themselves as legitimate wants it, so there has to be BULLYING and a putting down of another’s character, or a schemed theft of a resource… to get ahead. Achilles employed his innate divine talents for the benefit of mankind, but Zeus didn’t want him to be recognised as the hero that he was, in fear of him being more powerful in shining brightly, which is why Zeus sabotaged him in every way, for his life to go off the rails, yet in the end Achilles was recognised as ‘the only epic hero’ of the Iliad, for thousands of years afterwards. And so it is with Eris energy; the truth eventually rises to the surface, about who is the fairest in a messy situation, their honour, and people’s true colours and hidden intentions, who move in stealth to start a drama, to soil another’s name so that others don’t want them around. They say just the right things to create DOUBT and CONFUSION, and take it to the point where they stress another out to the point of overload, to create a stalemate, so they can’t think straight, nor make their mind up. It’s acting like it’s not a drama, as if they are not trying to trap someone with social pressure, and ‘what everyone thinks’… They don’t want justice and fairness, which is where reverse psychology comes in, to lull another into a false sense of reality.
It’s about the route taken in pursuit of happiness, security, feeling full and confident. It’s the two paths or stances to achieve ‘it’, in order to try to have agency over one’s own life, and be master of one’s own fate and happiness, as a CREATOR BEING. It’s about CREATING either from the strength of the inner calibre of own’s own divine energy, or from a frivolous state lacking INTEGRITY and PRINCIPLE that is full of arrogance and haughtiness. Eris energy is about the deliberate act of INVERSION in the form of inventing stories and appearances for others to believe; the projection that appears to be right is wrong, and what appears to be wrong in finger-pointing with judgements, is right. It’s also about creating a false PERCEPTION of another who may be innocent, divine and sincere with PROJECTIONS, and people going along with the wrong ideas and BRIBERY to gang stalk, to justify in their mind doing someone of merit DIRTY. It’s about the watchful envy eye in a fake allegiance monitoring the rising for any level of success, so they can take it, indulge in the win, or take all the credit for it. It’s about FOUL PLAY, CONSPIRING, enticing and MISLEADING to take what is another’s, and lie on their character.
It’s about the unseen true intentions that lies hidden from view. It’s about those creators who are able to create a foundation of GREAT WEALTH or a LEGACY OF EMOTIONAL FULFILMENT (physical or intangible) through their creative genius, passion, unconditional love or overflowing abundance - who have talent, skill, gift, social attention or merit - and those who covet this picture of joyful wish fulfilment, to steal, CONTROL or destroy it, with stealth games to get ahead, for social status and to socially be given handouts.
It’s the wisdom that come at a high price for those of honour and healthy aspiration (example), due to an arrogant, demanding USER who don’t want their know-it-all narrative challenged, nor their dogmatic feedback loop. It’s recognising the difficulty for a narrow-minded, PRETENTIOUS authoritarian, to acknowledge a creator of great potential for their luminescent beauty, due to what this stirs inside; blindsiding JEALOUSY and GREED… The competitive envier want the glorious results of the envied’s efforts or state of being in a betrayal wearing a mask, to fulfil their own personal dreams and ambitions, without actually having done the work, charming others to get ahead… There is an attachment to gain, wealth, money, power or high rank, that turns off the heart energy and people into the worst version of themselves, with COERCIVE CONTROL leading to EMOTIONAL ABUSE for the envied. The sneaky want the recognition, opportunity, business, clout or public persona, but they may not have the innovation, perseverance, vision, luck, virtue or heart, which is why a delusional, malicious win at all costs war starts within, that eventually expresses as a raging volcano, with ‘justification’ to cause pain, battle, and demise for the UNDERDOG with a treasure. It entails a stealth hunter preying on those of good heart’s hopes, dreams or good nature, to bind them, distort them, or get them stuck to them; to open the doorway to hell in their life… for devastation…
It’s about INSECURITY, feeling intimidated and in distress due to seeing a creator who is joyfully tapped-in succeed over them (example). It’s being in terror of having their concept of ego persona, status quo, or fancy lifestyle messed up by truth revealed, after they had put up a dignified facade and gotten away with smoke and mirrors socially for a time. People who initially wore a PIOUS MARKETING MASK and then later get exposed for their true colours, can be judged by their actions; the bad seeds sown that produced deformed or rotten fruit.
It’s about wanting to appear friendly, but having too much discombobulated emotions or hubristic ego for self-correction, while secretly feeling not good enough. AWARENESS in philosophy and psychology is a concept about knowing, perceiving and being cognisant of something, as it really is. It’s the lens of clarity that experience and wisdom brings. Eris energy in the lower expression is about manipulating perception, for a situation to be seen only one way, which is a political posture, hoping for the inversion to be believed as the only possible reality. In the extreme, its about the petty switching and swapping of characteristics, worth, merit and reputation, and how the truth sets free, and outlives the lies. Only honesty bring lasting success, and tolerating a bad situation does not. Waiting for the rewards of the efforts put into a toxic situation, is a waste of time. Chaos and fragmentation is the opposite of being in the flow, which is being ‘in law and order’ with Self, having evolved.
It’s about the COUNTERFEIT coming across the AUTHENTIC; the lacklustre shammer meeting the real. The authentic outshine the role player, so much that others may see the them as untrue, and they won’t be able to get away with erroneous projections anymore. Why? The presence of the real, makes the slacker or flatterer seen for lack, which is why they are a SHAMER. People who are inauthentic are uncomfortable around those who are their original self, because next to them, they get OUTSHINED. Light illuminates fraudulent projections of words and public image, and perhaps also what fakery they had been up to, which is why the malicious BULLY rushes to tackle the other to the ground with fists, backbiting criticism or an attack of words… It’s a knee-jerk reaction out of fear of being seen in the light of truth, as a PRETENDER or moral fraud; it’s to protect what they had been hiding, and to preserve the state of unawareness of the truth. It’s a coping mechanism of the ego to hide a lack.
Eris is about the choices we make; the GOLD-DIGGER cheating their way to the top, ‘who is the fairest?’ with true intent, the right or wrong path to fortune, and far-reaching consequences. Eris issues start with being disconnected from empathy, the heart and its wisdom, and from this small matter, massive towering crises grow and empires fall. It’s about SELF-ABSORPTION versus SELF-AWARENESS in social dynamics. People who don’t have the self-awareness, nor expansive energy fields, are limited in their ability able to grasp how their actions that invades another’s rights impact, disadvantages or injure them. In the extreme, Eris is about SPEAKING UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH regarding the PERCEPTION of the CHARACTER of those who are
willing to UNDERCUT everyone to be at the top; to be the plundering, conquering EMPEROR. It’s about forcing a choice in LOVE, about who and/or what option to prioritise, then harassment, DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER, and getting isolated for the losing party. It’s about the person who needed to feel the victorious highroller, having robbed another of their innocence, halo or MORAL RIGHT to have, without taking accountability. It’s resorting to BULLYING or violence in the name of a cause, as an AVENGER. It’s about a classist who sought payback for a PERCEIVED WRONG with bad vibes, harsh judgements and forcing court of public opinion, whose perceived squeaky clean character eventually comes into question. It’s an unholy ENERGY VAMPIRE looking to extract SATISFACTION WISH FULFILMENT from another party, the motivating set of factors and what is DRIVING them. It’s about prideful ignorance, bigotry, and self-delegated self-importance to CONSPIRE against and/or PERSECUTE; to be able to laugh all the way to the bank after taking someone down. Unfortunately what starts as a tiny itch of an obsession with another’s accolades or ABUNDANCE, can grow to the point where it drives an adversary “mad for power and domination” in GREED, perhaps beyond reason, to satiate themselves via a robbery or heist. Perhaps even to the point of becoming like a cartoon villain going off the rails: to ruin the protagonist with whatever weapon of mass chaos or distrust, like gossip, lack of transparency, harassment, commotion etc, perhaps after having experienced rejection due to their lack of integrity, or not wanting to be exposed for grandiose abuse of power. Zeus succumbed to temporary pleasures and third party rewards easily, wanting to accumulate friendships and loyalty to war against his enemies.
It’s about wanting ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, LEADERSHIP and POWER-OVER, as better, smarter or stronger than. It’s wanting reward without effort, often without being worthy of the notoriety, opulence, resources, land, power or self-satisfaction, as secretively oppressive warmonger Zeus with his thunderbolt did, who was the main belligerent antagonist in Eris’ mythology from the Iliad, who wanted to hand a poisoned apple to those he deemed competition, as the wolf in sheep’s clothing FOE. Zeus had ULTERIOR MOTIVES, SCANDALOUS DESIRES and many SEDUCTIVE distractions that involved using POWER for self-aggrandisement; to be centre of attention, having fancy lifestyle and feel invincible. The adversary wanted to entice society to be invested in loyalty to him in alliance - the power-monger who started the heavy POLARISATION under the insidious cover of darkness - with everyone collaborating in CAMARADERIE to exclude and persecute individuals who stirred his insecurities about remaining TOP DOG, like Eris and Achilles. Mind games for divide and conquer, and massive war and destruction, for VICTORY. The hypocrite was willing to COMPROMISE the right thing to do - to JUGGLE, EXPLOIT and TRAP others in a cage of his making - in order to get what he wanted in vested interest, and seem innocent of evil in appearance. Even play multiple parties, being disloyal, judgemental, critical and two-faced. Possessed Zeus’ strategised goal was to make everyone mad as hell at the wrong people... to have society attack the singled out in a horrific way; to cower and kow tow… It was sardonic Zeus and his TOXIC HABITS who incited the riot, anger and violence; it was the king of the gods who emotionally manipulated, BRIBED and led others - and his minions - the wrong way. Chameleon Zeus played the duplicitous role of both friend and foe, lover and adversary, dispenser of justice and criminal, peacemaker and warrior attacker, provider of opportunities and opportunist, and this is how he got to do people
dirty; to be a vanity-driven wealthy man, via siphoning from others, being perceived as of moral standing. Ostentatious flirt Zeus was pretending helpfulness, changing his persona according to whatever his personal agenda was, since he didn’t actually have the skills of a good leader (his council had work ethics). His witty, in cahoots membership politics ‘looked’ sincere, but he wanted to judge others, to have them in bondage and ritualistic servitude to him in his invented hierarchy. Discriminatory Zeus asserted his superiority projecting on others as less than him, and was seeped in his official boxed-in convention, used to oust those who didn’t participate in his bribery and ‘ego maintenance’, else he feel insecure, ego bruised, humiliated, deflated or less of a man. And many insiders in the networking and in solidarity remained ignorant of this fact; not doing their fact checking or due diligence when he cut someone down or rendered them inconsequential for daring to leap ahead or supersede him. Enablers turned a blind eye to ATROCITIES, and made concessions due to enjoying nepotism benefits, except for those who were victimised with JARRING SNEAK ATTACKS, for seeing the truth of an INJUSTICE (both Eris and Achilles saw the fallacies of god complex clearly). Vain political assassin Zeus wanted to be seen as an accepted upstanding hero in society by pulling on many allies’ energy in behind-the-scenes command and control, but created imbalance, mess, mockery, scandal, stalemate, fog, culpability and nightmare for others. He was the main liability for everyone, with other’s hardships, his clout and victory over them. It’s hubris and ego that made gods and mortals BLIND in the Iliad. It’s being chained to unawareness, clout hungry obsession, kingly privileges, to the inverted devil within, a snub to humiliate in order to feel ‘good’, and smug pride before the fall. It’s about recognising the amount of wasted energy that goes into giving to a sanctimonious individual and their conventional system of control; who wants rewards without effort.
CORNUCOPIA: an ancient symbol of plenty consisting of a goat’s horn overflowing with flowers, fruit and corn. It’s an abundant supply of good things of a specified kind.
Eris in 1st house opposed to Jupiter (Zeus) and hypothetical Uranian object Zeus conjunct Athena in the discovery chart, is about the tug of war over personality and reputation of good heart, integrity, esteem, merit, and discipline (Sun in 10th house Capricorn). It’s the square of challenge regarding emotional truth, temperance, justice, ethics and fairness (Varuna) and pure character, true inner beauty that shines, spiritual prosperity, high honour, faithfulness and inspirational leaders with legacy (Sirius) in 4th house Cancer.
The opposition is about how seeing these divine qualities in another personality can lead to a massive temptation for a salty saboteur; to disgrace, dishonour or discredit. Zeus (Jupiter in Roman mythology), from his discriminatory institutional convention and faustian bargain, wanted to inflate himself into exaltation via others, by controlling how others PERCEIVED the WORTHINESS or CORNUCOPIA of those who were different, like Eris and Achilles, yet in Achilles’ case, counting his MERIT out sure backfired publicly. It’s all about networking and who you know, to utilise as pawns to battle another; to put people in their heads or in hardship. It’s the fortune-seeking grave-digger casting shadows on innocent people, misguiding and misleading many to be in hype fight or flight mode… and everyone’s true characters eventually getting exposed in divine timing. The Eris juxtaposition separates the wheat from the chaff; the truth is meant to redeem above all odds, even in situations of massive strife and secret inner CORRUPTION. In the discovery chart, trans-Neptunian object Eris trines asteroid Achilles conjunct Pluto, Mercury and Venus…
Eris energy is all about the condescending horseshit employed by the ‘respectable’ but tricky HYPOCRITE to feel high ranking in everyone’s eyes, but more importantly, it’s about what they are trying to deliberately FORCE their target to be in DENIAL of; their own value. It’s about the PREJUDICED bully wanting to coddle a dark aspect of themselves, while they cut another worthy, with something valuable to offer down, to render them unappreciated, unseen and USELESS. They PROJECT their superiority, and DEFLECT the big picture caution. The need to win takes precedence. At first, the astounding ARROGANCE in the judgement of another - who has significance - is a fountain of gleeful pride, however the reckless choice to make others BLIND TO REASON, to keep ego supremacy ‘appearances’ in place, can have very far reaching consequences…
It’s to keep others on a need to know basis, after having gathered information about them, so they don’t see the full picture and come to right conclusions. It is to DEPRIVE the target and onlookers of UNDERSTANDING, JUDGEMENT or ability to be MINDFUL; not being able to see clearly. It’s forcing others to go into a cage, becoming lacking in awareness, or have clouded perception due to a FLIPPING OF THE SCRIPT. Being ‘visually impaired’ or uncomprehending works at people’s peril, as BLINDSPOTS trip unheeding, sightless fools up, which is what Zeus wanted. Divide and conquer: the entire Iliad is about the mess of Zeus’ making.
Ostentatious Zeus wanted to assert himself by sucking all the energy in for his own pleasure, even if unworthy of it in the 10th and 4th houses and what they represent, which is being seen as reputable authority managing resources, and enjoying a luxurious lifestyle from firm legacy that provides for decades to come. Official person Zeus didn’t actually contribute much virtue to society, but the THIEF wanted to be seen a dignified, privileged man for the benefits of other’s fortune, generosity and what value they had to offer, without actually giving credit where its due. Zeus wanted to be PERCEIVED in high regard and awareness, celebrated from position seen as PRINCIPLED, by blocking others from shining brightly, which is UNPRINCIPLED. The ill-willed and intolerant swindler orchestrated CREDENTIAL STUFFING and staged public humiliation for his competition; his insecurity around others being ‘more esteemed’ than him, is what he feared most. The ego identity could not take it. That’s why there was a flipping of reputations, to make good people seem bad, and make himself seem VIRTUOUS. He wanted to be SEEN consciously as everyone’s righteous friend, but in the unconscious screamed the truth: he was nobody’s friend. His betrayal of others were always justified and mostly believed. Having a lot of TRUST from people stroked his ego, which is why he brainwashed them into a bad gamble. What a cock-up?
Eris energy is particularly about SELF ABSORPTION / SELF INDULGENCE in KARMIC RELATIONSHIPS (partnership or group status) and TOXIC ENTANGLEMENT, where there is a MALICIOUS putting down of another via aspects like fake support, relationship stealing, essence stealing, financial/livelihood destruction, or tripping up someone who may be very kind, giving or industrious, which is why the tarot is such a useful tool (example1 and example2) to understand Eris energy. It’s about those of GOOD HEART who do the work and shine in a situation, but experience THEFT, get underpaid, undervalued or screwed over; put in a mental maze of another’s making. It’s about the attention seeking shifty warmonger - who is a hot mess on the inside - who didn’t do the work nor reciprocated, taking credit, kindness for weakness, wanting appearances and free handouts, and a selfish upgrade out of SPITE. It entails hiding true feelings, mean detailed effort, frustrated action, mirroring, projection, or attempts at psychological entrapment to cause wounding by making another small. Or in the extreme, it can involve significant mental and emotional imbalance, megalomania, CRAZINESS in the mind, or even lunacy. Why? An emotional vampire needed to feel SATISFIED that they had ruined another’s PROSPECTS, after having strategised to put themselves in a better position over them. It’s joyful, pure intention, self-esteemed, self-aware Cinderella versus the miserable stepmother and stepsisters wanting to win relationships over her, DOWNPLAYING and instilling doubt about her light. It’s angelic and lovely Snow White versus the unhinged stepmother obsessed with winning over her beauty in the eyes of others. This is the journey
with shadowy, shallow characters that fashions excellent leaders, versus those in leadership who take opportunity for ACQUISITION or to rule via oppression, dictatorship, tyranny or toxicity over others (example). Remember that both Cinderella and Snow White eventually became upstanding rulers of kingdoms - who LIBERATED others - after their period of spiritual preparation, after experiencing salty sabotage by those who wanted them to be their MARTYR. Other Eris examples include Helen of Troy, Achilles, Odysseus, Maleficent, Good Will Hunting, Elphaba from Wicked, Selena, Albert Einstein, as well as OSTENTATIOUS players Paris of Troy, Zeus, Hera, Themis etc. In the tarot, it’s the journey that made the Empress who she is, having overcome PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE and SABOTAGE of all kind, having comprehension of human nature, nurturing herself, building her empire and sitting firmly on her throne, despite UNREQUITED LOVE. It’s the love of one’s own innate divinity, or the love of over-indulgence at another’s expense, materialism and false ego identity. It’s wanting for another not to recognise or know their worth, so that they will continue to allow bullying, efforts at domination or control over, scarcity tactics, gaslighting into a false version of reality, or even narcissistic abuse (example). It’s utilising people who enable, as pawns (flying monkeys) to gang stalk an innocent party (Zeus utilised his flying monkeys on Achilles, Eris and LOVE-BOMBED many women via stealth). It’s about the heartless ”LOVE-HOARDER” creating a consensus, over who gets loved and supported, and who has their wings clipped, be booted out, or replaced. It’s to be made both the villain and victim; ostracised.
Un-evolved, DESTRUCTIVE Eris in relationship has many faces that entail a dogmatic battle, evil eye, shapeshifting, BAD HABITS and trying to get ahead by stomping on another or standing on their neck to push them down. The PRETENTIOUS find great value in taking something fortunate from someone else, which may come with a fake good guy/gal, wearing a mask, pretending while negotiating a loss for another, often via making falseness or GLAMOUR (example) appear to be legitimate, due to DENIAL OF EMOTIONAL TRUTH (example).
“Eris acts as a benefic if you are willing to learn, grow and and integrate the wisdom acquired.”
It’s about being jealous of another’s blessings and the NASTY, obstinant and HAUGHTY instigator wanting to play god over them being deserving, via staging a brutal take-over and a redistribution of opportunities. With drama, MISUNDERSTANDINGS and chaos, they try to get control over people; to cause SUFFERING and lack of closure. They find their status or worth in wether or not another party is down; in having their foot on another, emotionally shut down, in a popularity contest of sorts. Eris energy is about the lustful hiding under a congenial and polished exterior, perhaps as a perceived wonderful pillar of society with great interpersonal skills, who want to feel MORALLY AND SOCIALLY SUPERIOR. It’s about leaving charming impressions and appearances, hoping for them to be believed as reality. Its about superficially trying to replicate an original heart-felt person as a brand, and then accuse them of not being who they truely are, to push them off their throne and take their spotlight (example). However, the impersonator fox doesn’t have the heart and mind to lead or inspire others, nor to change their lives for better… It’s the stuff of EPIC SOAP OPERAS, because mechanistic thinking and only relying on logic, and not being able to think holistically, or intuitively, will result in misfortune.
The overly masculine envier doesn’t understand that the envied operate from healthy, receptive feminine energy, which is why others help them, love them and support their good intentions, due to feeling into their truthful essence. This is why there is the employment of pretence with a love-bombing mask, and the switching up of character, merit, worth etc. to fool any helpful people on their side, or those who may come to their aid in the future, so the envier can win the entirely of their support system, followers or enablers instead. However, the glass slipper fits only one foot… the Cinderella with the heart of gold, of true good character, purpose and beauty. The farcical envier is left feeling frustrated, as they did not take the trouble, nor do the work to cultivate those inner qualities in themselves. They are lazy AF… Eris is about those lacking empathy trying to scheme to obtain something from another who is physically wealthy or rich in spirit, to over-indulge and engorge themselves.
To understand Zeus’ angry actions towards Achilles and then Eris, one has to understand that anger comes from pain, and the threat of experiencing more pain, with anger coming up as a defensive mechanism. Zeus’ pain lied rooted in being swallowed up by his father Cronos (Saturn) who was holding all his children back out of fear of being superseded by them, and them shining brightly in his position of leadership. In the discovery chart, the Sun conjunct Chiron in Capricorn 10th house is directly opposed to Saturn in Cancer which is where Saturn expresses the weakest. The lesson? Unhealed wounds spill over to spoil other’s lives… which is why Zeus wanted to f**k Achilles up so bad out of VENGEANCE, not understanding how to deal with the pain that lied beneath the anger, nor how to heal it. Zeus wanted others to take his pain seriously, and by making ripples in other’s lives, making others feel the utter devastation what he felt, he got some validation feedback from the world. Through his attacks and insults on others, he put a smokescreen on his own insecurities, to try to hide from it.

Resistant to total change Eris show many signs of psychological growing pains, in learning to find her way to balance and brilliance. A study of Eris energy polarity reveals deep, hidden knowledge and understanding of the world that may be a great mystery to some, the selfish and hard-hearted.
Read MoreMichael E. Brown of Caltech discovered the 10th planet, the Kuiper Belt object he nicknamed "Xena." In the book Eris or Proserpine?: In search of the real name and meaning of a new planet, Raimo Nikula looks at the useful information, when we consider, that astronomers - who are charged with naming new planets - first considered to name the dwarf planet, Persephone or Proserpina.
