Eris in Astrology Blog

Eris the Greek Goddess of Discord and Strife in astrology, and the Hidden Root of Insecurity behind the Takeover Narrative, Blame, Scapegoating, Slander and Cockamamie Chaos.

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.

It’s about psychological abuse for social prominence and a superiority gain, and garnering the strength within to overcome.

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.

It’s about going into an illusion regarding social superiority over another, trying to ruin their public image, and their self-image… by making someone unique, imaginative or loving out to be something they are not, humiliating or banishing them… To chill their heart into ice at the injustice of the loveless and clout-hungry taking over the narrative regarding their persona…

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.

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…

Zeus wanted her isolated, without recourse, so that nobody would listen to her side of the story. This is what stirs the Eris discontent, to bring matters to a head, perhaps wearing and disruptive, but determined, intelligent and single-minded. To dispense the truth serum, despite it being highly unwelcome...

It’s obsession with trying to block someone’s light and success, making their environment unsafe with criticism turned into gang stalking. It’s about taking away their quality of being reasonable, acceptable and respectable. It’s pronouncing the innocent to be guilty or wrong, sentencing them to punishment; condemned to wear the unfavourable judgement, as if the prejudice is deserved…

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 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 destroying another’s life, to take CONTROL over them, and their happy life, by turning everyone prejudiced against them. It’s wanting another to feel weighed down by a loss, to keep them wounded, psychologically stuck, in a STRUGGLE; to kill their spirit.

It’s to attempt to confine another to a false character assessment via slander. It’s about one person who wants to put another in a cage, and with this stranglehold cause the LIGHT of their SOUL to not SHINE. It’s called creating the illusion of energy stealing.

It’s about wanting control over another’s emotions, happiness, what they get, what they give or what they are given. It’s deliberately and strategically keeping something from someone else, in order to look powerful. It’s a deceitful, planned loss to make another dependent on the abuser. It’s throwing bricks and hiding their hands. It’s diabolical devastation. A drunk on power plot to affect another’s future. Why? It’s the punishment for those who break glass ceilings and leave mass consciousness ideologies and gravity, for soul sovereignty. It’s the cut-throat mania to break another’s heart.

Eris energy is about having multiple options being a calculated, unprincipled, cynical player professing to be a samaritan or benevolent leader, versus real loving, faithful commitment. One is unstable and another stable. Eris in astrology is about what is set off inside a triggered party, about the shitstorm saga of having created noise and distraction, that ripples for many years, that put someone in a dark night of the soul experience.

It’s about how a person, place or thing can be a CATALYST FOR MASSIVE CHANGE, PREPARATION and SPIRITUAL GROWTH.

Eris is about CHOICES of MASSIVE CONSEQUENCE. It’s about the ABUSED either becoming just as berserk or abusive as the ABUSER, creating victims in retaliation like an infected mini-me, due to pain the heart. Or moving away into their own healing, sovereign, abundant energy, wearing the crown in their own story, redeeming themselves by ELEVATING into their new beginning, like the phoenix rising.

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…

Everyone has value and worth, especially imaginative, visionary Eris higher expression… and this is the ruthless hypocrite’s big problem… because it is a natural feeling to desire to participate in life, be seen, given a pat on the back or recognised for accomplishments one deserves.

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 about blocking any empathy, friendship, love or support for another. That was Zeus’ goal for both whistleblower goddess Eris and Achilles. It bothered pocket-watching Zeus that people responded positively to Achilles’ loving energy, or that anyone would listen to Eris’ truth telling.

Eris is about trying to forcefully step into another’s shoes, or even be them.

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.

Eris in Astrology Blog

Eris the Greek Goddess of Discord and Strife in astrology, and the Hidden Root of Insecurity behind the Takeover Narrative, Blame, Scapegoating, Slander and Cockamamie Chaos.

It’s about psychological abuse for social prominence and a superiority gain, and garnering the strength within to overcome.

In practical terms, it’s about the ego becoming discombobulated and wanting persecution or counterattack. It’s about being mad at another for seeing a profound truth about hidden motivations and ill intentions, with the aim, injustice.

It’s about the GREAT FORTUNE of one’s own innate abundant energy, ARGUMENTS, opposing views, and regarding having the authentic heart intentions in the right place, or not.

It’s about destroying another’s life, to take CONTROL over them, and their happy life, by turning everyone prejudiced against them. It’s wanting another to feel weighed down by a loss, to keep them wounded, psychologically stuck, in a STRUGGLE; to kill their spirit.

It’s to attempt to confine another to a false character assessment via slander. It’s about one person who wants to put another in a cage, and with this stranglehold cause the LIGHT of their SOUL to not SHINE. It’s called creating the illusion of energy stealing.

Eris is about a take down, break down, burn down and take over of another’s joie de vivre.

It’s about how a person, place or thing can be a CATALYST FOR MASSIVE CHANGE, PREPARATION and SPIRITUAL GROWTH.

Everyone has value and worth, especially imaginative, visionary Eris higher expression… and this is the ruthless hypocrite’s big problem… because it is a natural feeling to desire to participate in life, be seen, given a pat on the back or recognised for accomplishments one deserves.

The seeds of Eris energy start with a major dissatisfaction in life, simmering hostility and growing malice that is hard to overcome for the cold-hearted. This may involve insecurity, self-doubt, lack, comparison and then a strong desire to remedy this internal problem, with an external solution.

It’s also about being bothered by another person’s SOCIAL STATUS in relation, and how they are loved, admired, respected and in joy.

Eris is about trying to forcefully step into another’s shoes, or even be them.

What Zeus feared most, would eventually come to a head, as all energy seeks resolution.
