Narcissists, Envy, and Eris Truth Tellers
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, darkness is revealed, the healings are happening, and blessings are rolling in; where they are allowed…
Eris energy is the rude awakenings, downfall of empires, being triggered, repressed emotions rising, and psychological baggage. Those who continue to tuck their emotions and feelings away, indulge in the narcissism of the mind to plot against another, and indulge in lower vibrational emotions, will live with the consequences. Players will see other people’s good stuff, and their growth, heart-happiness, and prosperity, and suffer envy, among other things. Toxic behaviour, attempts at control, and war-mongering are inevitable where there is jealousy, envy, spite and cat and mouse games with cunning manoeuvres designed to thwart an opponent. Forcing another to take a loss and be in misfortune. Wanting another to feel how they feel. What happens when one person wants a hold, or a tight toxic grip on another, causing drama and trauma to achieve it? Forceful and deliberate trauma-bonding and putting another in a stuck mental trap state, has far-reaching consequences… Eris shows that karma doesn’t lose an address, despite an initial ego win. This article manages a volatile mental health situation in a calm, thoughtful way, with discernment.
Eris higher expression people are sweet, heart-felt, caring, abundant, virtuous and intuitive, and they live close to their divinity, and this is often becomes a huge problem at the start of Eris transits. At the heart of the problem is the Eris lower expression, that turns antagonistic enemy and wants to turn this sweet person upside down. It’s the Eris polarity of vice versus virtue; getting achievement, status or satisfaction from causing suffering for another. Inverting another person; for a selfish gain. Often out of jealousy or envy.
Astrological Eris, Truth be Told, and the Epidemic Issues of Our Time
Eris is the journey of the Empath/Narcissist dynamic in Astrology. This is Eris’ higher and lower expression.
Eris’ discovery chart shows how envious narcissists may aim to steal another’s deep emotional nourishment that may come from healthy, reciprocal relationship with both self and others. This is how empaths are made to suffer… by devaluing them, violating them, turning their relationships on them… isolating them in their inner torment… Eris in Aries is asking us to find balance and make right choices. Healthy selfish vs toxic selfish. The empath needs to learn boundaries and how to become more discerning and logical on those who want to take advantage of them, by destroying their self-worth, reciprocity in relationships and fulfilment. And not to give and nurture to the point of depletion. And the narcissistic admiration whoring has to learn to be caring, vulnerable and loving, instead of making those selfish player choices that disadvantage others, and manifest bad outcomes for everyone. Is it morally right to control, deceive or subdue another? No, it’s not right...
Even though this dynamic may be extremely challenging and painful, it is ultimately highly rewarding for those who are willing to do the work. Many people oscillate between these states, as they learn, grow, and make better choices, and ultimately elevate into fulfilment. There is no judgement, as we explore the potentials and learn to apply the alchemical process of turning bad Eris situations into gold.
Eris is all about potential for alchemy, and its magical outcomes, after bad, toxic relational experiences, and not seeing or heeding the red flags. What narcissists most despise is another person’s high self-esteem, virtue, and joyful self-expression, which they want to corrupt; to emotionally bankrupt another. Perhaps trying to cause another to self-destruct from the inside out… through diabolical psychological warfare.
Mythology shows how people like Paris and Zeus’s emotional fulfilment depended on screwing others over with bread-crumbing and other tactics, and getting admiration, status and position off of it.
Dr. Ramani is a licensed Clinical Psychologist and author, and has become a YouTube influencer thanks to her free videos that generously describe unhealthy, narcissistic personality relationship dynamics.
She has over 600k YouTube subscribers, amassed in just over two years, which shows how very real and problematic this issue is, and how desperate people are for information and solutions.
Dr. Ramani is a courageous and charitable woman who will not be held down by convention. She shares her ‘life hacks’ on how to deal with this epidemic, and it is lapped up in gratitude. She deeply understands the narcissist personality/empath dynamic, and talks about concepts like love-bombing, mirroring, baiting, scapegoating, bread-crumbing, and all those other dysfunctional patterns that generate toxicity.
There is a very interesting correlation between:
Dr Ramani’s work on the narcissist personality and the abused dynamic,
the individual journey of self-empowerment,
and how this all relates to Astrological Eris (also called Planet X, the 10th planet), being highlighted in 2020/2021 and within orb of influence with Pluto until 2024.
This is worth exploring, because although Dr Ramani is talking about the psychological point of view, the astrological community are not talking about this, from its point of view.
This information may also be tremendously helpful for empathic people, who at some point in their life, may find themselves in this mental/emotional abuse maze, in horror. Empathic people care, they have a heart, they sense and they feel and they are more connected to their ‘treasure’. People are attracted to their energy, they feel better around them, and then they get jealous of that energy. Which is why they may be covertly targeted, their generosity get abused, and why some want dominion over them.
Being triggered and MENTAL HEALTH issues are in stark focus at this time. People want to understand what has occurred. We can hold a place of empathy, and not come from a critical place, yet we don’t necessarily condone it, and we don’t have to have a hard heart about it. We may not want to re-kindle, but this exploration from the heart space is important, so that we can understand the dynamic, and heal our hearts.
This is a long article, but well worth reading if you wish to make some sense of the issues of our time, from an astrological/psychological perspective. Eris lower expression entails a mental health crisis, therefore this is worth understanding.
If this information is triggering for you, please read the disclaimer.
The following may not be for everyone…
What is a Narcissistic personality? An Epidemic Condition.
According to Dr Ramani, narcissism comes in a spectrum, with the milder end being those who are somewhat psychologically immature, or emotionally stunted. Some are stuck in adolescence, they are poorly regulated, they concern themselves with more immature pursuits and concerns, and there is not much substance. They may not be harmful or malevolent people, but they tend to be superficial, or attention and validation seeking. Some attributes are actually not openly acknowledged or displayed. On the other end of the spectrum, there are those who are exploitative, manipulative, sadistic, paranoid and harmful. They can be dangerous if they are in your family, particularly from a psychological point of view. In response to being asked what narcissism was, Dr Ramani said the following:
“Narcissism is a personality style that is characterised by lack of empathy, entitlement, grandiosity, arrogance, a chronic need for admiration and validation, superficiality, a difficulty regulating emotional states relating to things like frustration, disappointment, and really poor stress tolerance. A need to control other people, or at least control the narrative, a tremendous hypersensitivity to criticism, hypocrisy; they dish it out, but can’t take it. And then at the core of it all though, they are deeply, deeply insecure, and that insecurity can come out as victimhood, solemness, resentfulness, particularly if they don’t get their own way. When you first meet the narcissist, because of their grandiose exterior, they can come off as very charming and charismatic, and confident, which is why a lot of people get sucked in.”
When asked why it is important to understand narcissism, Dr Ramani said that there are many reasons. One being that these relationships are often not healthy in the long term, because they may be dangerous to you, or your children. In the workplace, the difficulty and toxicity builds, and before long relationships can spiral out of control. It is unsettling to walk on egg shells all the time, and to narrow your own behaviour, words and authentic self, or even make yourself smaller, in order to steer clear of the blowups, cruelty, or manipulation. Dr Ramani says that boundaries are very important, as well as a radical acceptance that often nothing can be done to change these egotistical people.

How Narcissistic personalities may destroy the dreams and potential of others
In the video, Dr Ramani explains that the main reason why she does this work,
is the loss of all the beautiful creations that the world never sees,
due to a narcissistic personality that sabotage, derail or steal the opportunities or potential of another, because they could not bear to witness their success. Some have nothing better to do other than sit and ponder on another’s demise, or destruction.
This is the abuse of power and influence that they wield over other’s lives, to squash their dreams.
Social Influence: The Psychological Immature, Envy and Social Media Influencers
Intense jealousy may be at play when these people witness the potential of those with natural talent, ability, and authenticity from the heart. Especially those who get attention on social media. Not only because there may be some material gain, and success in the eyes of the world at stake… The inauthentic envier sees that others can grow psychologically, and enjoy the benefits derived from it…
A radiance from the inside out; so beautiful!
Also, the green eyed monster see that a genuine glow-up in that person’s energy, is very attractive for more good things to follow. These people are the ultimate influencers, which invariably elevates their status. This may attract great jealousy, gossip, bitchiness, jabs, and nastiness from the admiration-whoring
Social media is a place where most are trying to be some ‘thing’ grander than what they really are. Some of it is real, most are not. It’s another person’s high self-esteem, and joyful self-expression, that bothers them… and then causes clout-chasing.
With the advent of social media, social media slang and acronyms like trolling, gaslighter, love-bomber, took off.
The psychologically immature envier recognises that they are ‘stuck’ with an inability to satiate their inner longing for some thing another is perceived to have, or experience, and they not. They are desperate for information on how these highly creative, successful influencers achieve this. They watch the competition, their habits and mannerisms, they try to get inside their head, try to stay ten steps ahead, will cheat to get ahead, fakes care, etc.
Not realising that some achievements take emotional maturity, vulnerability and heart authenticity to attain, and maintain. Temperance, experience and wisdom are essential. These things the narcissistic personality may lack. Even if they should cultivate the appearance of it, and maintain the illusion for some time, or even get some enjoyment from it, it may ultimately be an empty experience. If the following should see the pretence, replication, and insincerity of the happiness-hater, there may be exposure…
Being perceived in a negative, but truthful light, and seen for the inauthenticity and inadequacy, are the very things narcissistic personalities most dislike. Authentic expression, invariably exposes wanna-be, fake facade expression. These people may be masterful at unhealthy
psychological mirroring, coercing, and emulating their target as a form of data gathering, perhaps to be weaponised against that person at a later stage. The egotist can see the beauty and the abundant treasures of the heart, and admire it. However, watching someone else’s blessings and social influence may be truely torturous for them. Seeing their confidence may create more insecurity, and make them feel less than, which is why they may want to stifle or be in competition. This may be why they throw monkey wrench obstacles in their path, to see if they become less creative, or their work becomes bad. They don’t understand why the shit they may throw at the influencer; may make them stronger, or better. It infuriates the ego mind. There may be an illusion of there not being enough to go around, that brings about greed.
Envy can take many forms, but in general; everything is a problem, everything is an issue, and everything is a storm in a tea cup.
Emotions run high and events are blown out of proportion. Everything is dramatic and emotionally charged. They can take something that someone said in innocence and twist it into a week-long argument, or life long feud.
Despite some moments of instant gratification and a ‘feed’ for the ego, there are situations in life where a selfish person is never truely satisfied by what they estimated would be a victory, or a steal for them. They may have tried to gain transitory satisfactions from seeking greater novelties and excitements, but in reality these may have brought little pleasure. The clout chasing, assassination, and flipping the script on another might have been fun while it lasted.
They move on to the next opportunity… Always searching for that ultimately illusive thing, that dangles out of reach. Perhaps it will be more satisfying next time? Perhaps they can find another energetic source that they can latch on, so they can feel superior, and get that ego boost, and suck the energy right out of the next person.
This is how some stay stuck in unfulfilling, depressive cycles over and over, playing the victim, being a sly and deceitful liar, making others look bad, without learning their lessons.
Not growing, nor ever really glowing. This is the crux.
The stunted emotional life, the tucking away of emotions, and the refusal to take accountability, are at the heart of the problem. Those who continue to ignore what they need to face, will have great challenges in the future.
Eris says that ignorance is not bliss. Parasitic relationship is not normal.
Eris transits are loooong… its many, many years…
Envy that is not dealt with leads to toxicity and a spirit of destruction in that person, that affects everyone. Even if the envier had a great time pretending, snubbing, or snickering behind the back of the person they took advantage of, this is not healthy. Enviers may pretend so well, but ultimately they don’t bring goodness to the table, because they are in fact in lack, something they may not admit to. In trying to eliminate someone else, they may eventually illuminate themselves. Envy shuts down the heart centre, the body’s energy flow, and ability to be empathetic, because it is desperately in want of another’s empathic happiness treasure, without being able to get to its own…
Karma for Narcissistic abuse?
In this video, How to heal from Narcissistic relationships when there is no justice, Dr. Ramani details that there are visible penalties for various perpetrators in society, acceptable resolutions, or consequences. But those innocents who are left with the trauma and menace of self-serving abuse, often don’t see punitive measures doled out. The carnage left behind can be immense.
However, as penance of sorts, the abuser has to live with themselves and their joyless life; the emptiness, insecurity, chronic validation-seeking, need for admiration, the passive aggressiveness, their paranoia, illusions or lies, never feeling like anything that happens to them is enough. These are the defences, or soldiers that protect their inadequacy and insecurity. The envious abuser lives in the pretence and fragility of their empty inner world. They have to heal some ‘thing’, but they don’t want to do the work to grow.
Still, this may be cold comfort for those who have been taken advantage of… because those with narcissistic tendencies don’t change, unless they initiate it, which is rare, so we have to learn to live with their presence in society. Dr. Ramani do say that healing can be achieved by reframing the experience; by becoming free from the abuse, the gaslighting, devaluation, dehumanisation, etc., which is good advice. However, there is another unique point of view that shows huge potentials for progression…
Dr Ramani’s Truth Tellers, and Astrological Eris
The information and perspectives below adds a very unique twist to her work. Some recompense can come, through temperance, via Eris Awareness, as described in previous articles and below.
The energy of Eris is growing in momentum and will continue for the next couple of years, triggering the human collective, but especially those with significant transits or progressions in the area of 23/24 degrees of Aries. The Eris square Pluto aspect - which was an astrological feature of 2020 - demonstrates the dance these two planets have been doing to raise our consciousness, but with an oil-and-water quality. The truth-telling activist Eris continues together with Pluto to stir the pot; encouraging us to stop fooling ourselves. We can see that strife, pettiness and material competition associated with Eris are activated. Pluto leaves no stone unturned in exploring what power is, and isn’t. Together they bring out the discord to be seen
and dealt with (backstabbing, chaos, rivalry, buttons being pushed etc.), so we may live in harmony… eventually. Astrologer Tom Jacobs describes Eris in the birth chart as “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 catalyze him or her into growth, and with Eris this process can be difficult”.
Even though many modern astrologers are not comfortable about publicly talking about Eris, there is significant evidence of her strong influence. The inconvenient truths can no longer be swept under the carpet. The tremendous speed at which Dr Ramani’s YouTube channel has grown and gone ‘viral’ (Eris is associated with social media, influencers and envy), is further testimony to this astrological activation. She has over 600k YouTube subscribers, and growing fast… People want this information, to assimilate, and share… desperately…
In the video below, Dr Ramani speaks about the truth tellers, and it is not difficult to see the many similarities between her truth-tellers, and Eris individuals. These are the people with strong Eris either in the astrological birth chart, or by secondary progression activations, or unique transits, in whom the seeking of social justice is activated.
Eris individuals see, know and speak ‘truth’, which is unfortunately dangerous for young children who grow up in narcissistic personality families. The most alarming thing is that this abuse often starts in childhood, with these people, in the intimacy of the family home.
In the video to the right, Dr. Ramani talks about the abuse that they may have to endure should they call out the adults, or the emperor who in fact wears no clothes. They see with clarity the dysfunctional family dynamics; the co-dependency, the gaslighting, the enabling, the invalidating, the triangulation, the trauma-bonding, the triggering etc. These children are often told that they are disrespectful to their elders, or insolent. Their truth telling may even be shut down or silenced. Even if a child don’t say a word, it is often abundantly clear to the overly-sensitive sensors of narcissistic personality adults, that they are seen for who they truely are; down to the insecure core. They are intimidated by the truth. This is also shame inducing, which is what narcissistic personalities most dislike, which is why they may lash out in rage; perhaps inducing psychological damage for an innocent child. The child may be punished, or made out to be ‘the bad guy’. The narcissistic personality adult may be mad as hell, and try to make the child feel guilty; because they are right. Like outwitting an adversary, which the child is made out to be.
Eris will be a massive influence in the seven year Haumea Yod that will be in the astrological sky from 2022 - 2028, at the reaction point in a Boomerang Yod. The Foundations of Change online course describes the dynamics in detail.

Abuse of Authority, Seeds of Doubt, Ethics, and the Reverse Psychology of Persuasion
Narcissistic personality authoritarians may like to create stress and drama. Those who try to deal with them, or try to be patient with them, have to tip-toe around them, because they want others to let them get away with things, which invariably makes their behaviour even worse. The cycle has to be broken and the confrontation has to be had, but how?
Eris square Pluto asks us to examine why power over another, control and domination, must die.
Higher expression Eris desire equal opportunity, authenticity and soul connection.
Narcissistic individuals fight for ego superiority and admiration.
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 the character assassins target innocent people they envy.
Some sensitive children may live on egg shells 24/7, never really able to relax, perched and waiting for the next tyrannical rant. Why? Because they are what they are; aware, cognisant, real, authentic, honest, open-hearted, sensing, feeling and soul connected. They may not be interested in playing along with the illusions or power plays, but may be coerced. This is why some kids may downplay, or shrink themselves in self-preservation. The loss of self-esteem and psychological disadvantage into the future can be immense… and for what?
Truth tellers often become the scapegoat or black sheep of the family. They bide their time to get free from the dysfunctional situation, often escaping into a rich inner world, which is yet another trait of Eris people. Some are resilient and find ways to sequester themselves away from the madness, however, some are not. Dr Ramani says that these children tend to lack self-confidence, self-worth and belief in themselves, and their ability to escape the toxic situation.
Truth-telling children are often very bright and wide-eyed, and they know that the old ways are wrong.
They don’t want to participate in toxic structures and toxic cultures. They need a healthy self-esteem to take them into a healthy adulthood. Some children are taught the wrong messages about love, or given incorrect programming; like that they are only loveable or valuable based on what they can do for someone else. That love is transactional. Some are taught to fawn over their elders, in order to get their approval. The operators may manipulate them into putting their own needs and wants on the back burner, in favour of those who in turn; steal their life energy. The adults may speak of love and
care, yet it may be felt as empty, cold, corrupted or lack of authentic heart-felt reciprocation by the child. Adults may project an equal give and take illusion, but it may just be a scheme to get the child to give and sacrifice of themselves; to keep the authoritarian/obedient dynamic in place. They may use strong emotional attachment, juggling, lies, or third party entanglement to keep those they have control over stuck to the dysfunction. The goal may be to detach the child from the abundant, intuitive heart energy, that tells the child: this is wrong, it is not ethical to treat another human being in this way. With reverse psychology or persuasion.
There may even be multiple strong acts of diabolical revenge for refusing to comply with demands; to hand over power to the abuser.
This co-dependency can lead to similar unhealthy relationships in adulthood, like being drained and emotionally manipulated by yet another individual who makes them feel not good enough. Some of these truth tellers continue to struggle in adulthood. There is a sense of grief in feeling not safe and supported by the narcissistic personalities around them - who seem desperate to perpetuate their old ways. Selfish and self-serving to the bone, as the extreme can be.
Myths, ‘Who is the Fairest?’, and Far Reaching Consequences
According to Greek mythology, Eris turned up uninvited to a wedding, with a golden apple inscribed with the words “for the fairest”. The vanity of three prominent goddesses, Hera, Athena and Aphrodite started a quarrelling and competition. Or was it their feelings of inadequacy and jealousy that led to the Trojan War, that supposedly was brutal, and lasted a decade? Eris provided the catalyst or nugget, which everyone took and ran with, leading to their own downfall. Each playing a part in exposing and revealing themselves for who, and what they truely are; a particular set of negative but perpetuating petty traits.
Lack of integrity and emotional maturity caused not only the fall and undoing of mortal individuals, and goddesses, but an empire. A tragedy of immense proportions.
The story of Mythological Eris is an example of the lengths the ego can go to, to justify, or even avenge itself, to satisfy its desires.
It shows how insidiously the ego can operate and develop the will to master adverse circumstances through determination. The story shows how it can escalate a small thing into huge dramatic event, having far reaching consequences, with harm that may circle wide, like a pebble rippling through still water; perhaps ruining years or decades of another’s life.
It shows how persistent the ego really is, and difficult to let go. The pattern of destruction and despair is so very evident; generation after generation…
Both these virtuous truth tellers, and Eris individuals, find that having to dim their light to fit in with others who cannot tolerate it, is indeed INTOLERABLE.
It can be an extremely healing experience just to understand the dynamics that Dr Ramani Durvasula teach. Visit her website: http://doctor-ramani.com
Eris: The Maverick progress through Discord and Rebellion
It is evident that most citizens are fed up with the power-abusing ‘gods’. Pluto is about our relationship with authority. Eris empowers the people who don’t want to be censored. The Eris individual can become quite the revolutionary, trailblazer, whistleblower, activist or provocateur in adulthood. They may have found their ingenuity and voice; to stand up for sovereignty and individual freedoms as an influencer. However, if these nonconformists experienced adverse circumstances or abuse during childhood, and are not healed from it, they can become angry, difficult adults.
In the lower expression, Eris’ raw passion and wrath is to amplify the rage against the authoritarian machine who wants to keep the status quo in place. Think: the Me-Too movement, the Woke Movement, Black Lives Matters, etc. In Aries, Eris brings us face to face to the darker sides of our nature: aggressive impulses, deep-seated hatred and yearnings for revenge. Also to reset the balance of power and reclaim lost ground.
Eris will not be hushed as she calls out injustice. She requires us to listen to those who have been excluded, marginalised, underpaid, abused and wrongfully gunned down. Eris can be counted on to call out the BS, and the human dysfunction.
The internet has abundant information about Eris energy in her lower form, perhaps because the generational wounds of abuse are indeed RAW, for both the abuser and the abused.
It is surprising that they are two sides of the same coin…
Both desperately in need of heart healing…
One person can even be both the abuser and the abused…
Eris: Through Strife, Seeing the Need for Emotional Healing
A previous article describes why the human collective is, and will be revisiting a significant cycle from 560 odd years ago, challenging us to look with eyes wide open, and free from all guile at who we are, and what we do - personally and collectively - that perpetuate inequalities and oppression on this planet. Collective and individual healing will have to be done… Those who have played or cried the victim, will have to start reframing their situation. Eris and Pluto demands it.
Eris is actually meant to show us the way to end discord, contentiousness, and strife, through the surrender of the ego. Eris recognises that there is energy to be seen, heard, and cleared. Stuck emotional energy.
It is also important to acknowledge and release repressed emotional energy in a positive and constructive way. Emotions and feelings assist us in navigating life. They are fundamental to our health. Many people suppress their emotions, out of fear of being consumed by them. Neglected, stored emotions build volcanic pressures within, that is detrimental to ones body and energy.
Astrologer Heather Eland explains in this video, that people may develop illness when they are not willing to learn, integrate and deal with the energy that is important for their own liberation. Pushing it away, because a person don’t want to change may be detrimental, because things will be revealed wether they like it or not.
Astrologer Catherine Urban expressed optimism for this time period (Eris and Chiron in Aries); that we may have ample opportunity to heal the wounds from violence, oppression against personhood, and create a better world, which celebrates each person’s own uniqueness. “In Aries, Eris finds courage to use her voice to free herself. May we continue to hear these voices and collectively heal in the years to come”, Catherine says.
Eris energy is the ‘uninvited’ energies that get triggered within us by other people. These ‘unwanted’ energies are rising; angry, unloved, unseen, unacknowledged.
Collectively and individually Eris and Pluto asks us to get it all out on the table, so we can decide if we want to continue with this dysfunction… or not.
Astrologer Molly McCord explains in this video, that Eris brings up what is unresolved, so we can learn how to work with the anger, strife and discord, as spiritual lessons. We can learn how to incorporate these into a force that we are in charge of. It can become a force in our own self that enables us to release aggression, to integrate, and claim all of ourselves, so that we don’t have an ongoing struggle around who we need to be, in order to be loved.
Virtuous Eris higher expression leaves a mark in the world, the lower expression leaves a scar.
Astrologer Heather Eland explains in this video, that it is often only in hindsight that we understand the deep revealing, transformational power of self-love, and liberation at a heart level that major Eris transits offer. Growth, wisdom and the refining of one’s character may come through a perilous passage.
Eris energy shows that obstacles and life challenges, that are worked through on an feeling heart level, may prepare the way to grow into unique, joyful individuals that others may, or may not, respect, admire and appreciate, depending on THEIR vibrational status.
Eris energy shows that perhaps we shouldn’t take the haters so serious, because the contrast they bring to life, may create growth opportunities for those who are willing to learn, heal, and expand.
Enviers’ presence can be like a springboard, or like a slingshot being pulled back; upon its release the momentum forward into a new life, or higher heart vibration, may be dynamic and zestful.
Eris energy may help catapult us into knowing who we truely are, our value, and what we truely desire. Woke.
To understand the astrological anatomy of ENVY through Eris’ discovery chart, and why the “My Way or the Highway” people want to cause harm to Eris higher expression people, see this article. Perhaps realising that one-sided relationship, is no relationship worth having…
Eris: From Radical Acceptance into allowing Masterful Presence, Greatness
Growing into emotional maturity, self-fulfilment and serendipity. Healthy sensing and feeling. Shining and glowing brightly. More balanced. Heart centered.
A higher-comprehending mind, so to speak, but not operating from the mind; operating from the heart intelligence. Talent that carries responsibility and casts one in an otherworldly light.
Prayer for inner guidance, and prolonged periods of being receptive to assimilation of wisdom, are beneficial. No longer participating in the illusion, but understanding one’s true value, an appreciation of Self, and moving forward in one’s radiance. Real value. With a mind moving more often into stillness as a pond, yet crystal clear. No longer people pleasing. Shutting out the chaos. Pointing the inner compass north, so to speak. Bliss.
Those who have evolved thanks to multiple breakthroughs and personal growth have the opportunity, to not only create healing opportunities and insights for themselves, but for a collective.
Balancing individual needs with that of the larger community, bringing forth guiding principles on how we can choose to deepen our understanding and express beliefs through thoughts, feelings and actions.
Every time there is authentic self-expression, the qualitative assessments may inspire growth in others. Their own balance and integration, enables the reconciling of opposing forces or views. Gentle mastery over inner conflicts, enable life to unfold at an accelerated pace, yet focussed. They can enjoy the thrill and ride of life, harnessing wild energies with poise.
The pursuit of their personal growth, and finding their stride, may spill over into teachable moments. Every word, or action, may reveal potentials on how to move forward in leaps and bounds towards a truely meaningful life. Whilst the journey and healing may not be complete, and there is always more to tap into. There is an increasing confidence and self-assuredness in the undertaking; growing into the role of a way-shower, wise advisor, counsellor, or influencer, without necessarily seeking followers, nor needing them.
The teaching is about personal responsibility; to release the emotions that no longer serve. Also, a relinquishing of control. No longer seeking to control relationships, or the environment, because those things cannot be controlled. Going with the flow, even when it seems like people stuff up. Attempting to stop things from going wrong are depleting. There is an understanding and passing on of new perspectives regarding trust in divine rearrangement, and its equilibrium. There is also a sense of soul purpose, being centred and secure within oneself, self-reliant, and therefore by example, showing others a new way to live, in a still chaotic world.
According to another website, "Eris holds a mirror to the human condition so we can see ourselves staring back in the face of those we most fear, those we most demonise, those who commit the most heinous acts. She exhorts us to keep them in our hearts even as we recoil from and challenge their behaviour; to remember that change is most effective when we act for something, rather than against something else."
Those who can embrace transformational and mature Eris energy are willing to cut through the comfort zone of their existing reality, belief systems, self identity and patterns; and change themselves. This surrender is the seat of their ability to bring about what seems to others like… miracles. They seem to speculate, but are proven right.
Through vocation or other form of creative expression, an influencer may have plenty of opportunities to ‘throw a Golden Apple’ into the flow of other people’s lives; to help them wake up and consider sometimes difficult, but necessary alternatives to their life trajectory.
Eris is the energy that prods people to ‘upset the apple cart’, in order to show and learn important lessons. Such as individualistic identity development (Eris and Chiron in Aries, with Aries being the energy of discovery of Self and what it means to be your own individual entity), as well as being spirit having a human experience. It is the inner transformational journey, like Uranus, also the awakener of consciousness, in line with higher spiritual law.
It pays being one’s true Self, living close to inner inspirational sources of insight and foresight, with a receptive state of mind that benefits from intuitive revelations. The wisdom that comes spontaneously through an awakened, free flowing heart and crown chakra can be transcendent… beyond words.
There are multiple books that describe Eris as representing the Seventh or Crown chakra, which in Eastern traditions is the point in the body at the top of the head, where we connect to our Higher Self. This book describes it as: “Eris represents the sense of I, without name or form, that experiences existence. At this level, we either feel the bliss of being connected to the Divine, infinite, eternal whole of creation, where the weight of this world is lifted, or we feel alone and are weighted by the burden of being a completely separate and finite entity solely responsible for taking care of ourselves and our survival.” At the crown chakra we can realise that this surrender, this symbolic death of the ego, means awakening and rebirth into the consciousness of the Divine.
Eris is linked with the birth of new ideas, new human potentials, greatness, and a skilful self mastery previously considered not possible, yet lived by those who embody Eris awareness in the most wholesome, feminine manner. She commands the rich, fertile treasures of the soul, more and more entrenched in directing the human experience. She bestows abundance, providence and synchronicities; all natural attributes of the soul.
Eris is the I AM.
A state of grace.
A higher way of being.
Your energy is your treasure. Guard it well.
There are other articles on this website that describe Eris energy as well, which won’t be repeated in this article.
