Eris EG.5 New Subvariant of Covid as North Node of Fate conjunct Eris in Astrology

Earlier in August 2023 the World Health Organisation designated COVID variant EG.5 as a variant of interest. It has been dubbed Eris, or EG.5.1 and how timely to have been knick named after Eris, Greek goddess of discord and strife, when the North Node of Fate starts its close conjunction to Eris at 25 degrees Aries.

Eris also happens to be a trans-Neptunian and Kuiper belt object, which is discussed extensively on this website on the Eris blog.

According to this article, this subvariant seems to have been first detected in Asia but is increasingly appearing in COVID-19 cases in the United States and United Kingdom. Symptoms of the subvariant reportedly include a runny nose, headache, fatigue, sneezing and a sore throat. It is reported that is seems to be becoming the dominant subvariant of Omicron in a number of countries. Some experts say that ‘Eris’ appears to have an advantage in terms of transmissibility, which is why it appears to be taking over.

Eris COVID subvariant EG.5

Why is Sedna Most Associated with Covid?

Many astrologers have been speculating about which astrological influence is most associated with the corona virus outbreak that started mass panic at the start of 2020. Eris has been a contender due to the influence of disruption, however, as Eris in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn started their first of five exact hits, they were making a Hammer of Thor apex on trans-Neptunian object Orcus, which is what led to sending everyone packing for the ‘underworld’. See the Orcus blog for more on that. Dates towards the end of this article shows that the Sedna yod, which has been going for about 14 years+, is more associated with the kind of health disasters of interest to organisations like the WHO.

Oort cloud object Sedna has been in Taurus since the 60s, but enters new zodiac sign Gemini for the first time on 15/16 June 2023 to retrograde back into Taurus in November. Sedna finally leaves the 29th degree of Taurus the bull, for her long stay in Gemini from April 2024 to 2067, for four decades.

Sedna permanently moving into Gemini in 2024 may ultimately entail a profound loosening of rigidity as the ice melts from her stay in the last decan of Taurus - that expresses all of the negative qualities - of rigid, greedy, machiavellian Taurus, and the encounter with malefic star Algol. However, Sedna is very slow moving, and we are standing on a precipice…

Sedna has been conjunct malefic fixed star Algol as early as mid 2014… and was in tight conjunction when Covid took off… under the powerful directional energies of Ixion sextile Haumea making Sedna/Algol the yod apex.

The Massive Significance of the Sedna Yod

The Sedna Yod with Ixion and Haumea as legs has been in effect for more than a decade, and it continues beyond 2030, due to Ixion moving out of orb towards the end of 2023, and Varda taking over as leg in the Sedna Yod, in 2024. Therefore, Sedna will be one of the most important trans-Neptunian objects to keep an eye on, for the potentials for the future are massive… despite the dire situation at the moment, as Sedna (under the Sedna Yod apex) traverses the crisis (anarectic) degree of Taurus…

We are in a climate of change… and the Gongong Yod, Varuna Yod, and Haumea Yod, as well as the Hammer of Thor aspect pattern that MakeMake square Quaouar makes on Uranus, each plays a massive role in the change-over.

Trans-Neptunian and Kuiper Belt Objects in Aspect and Relation

The Kuiper Belt objects, and trans-Neptunian dwarf planets bring hope, change, expanded thinking, soul purpose, and quantum leaps into our consciousness. It is up to each individual if they want to embrace this time of great change, and the potentials on offer.

This was profound news to this astrologer, as I have often wondered about the astrological significance of speaking of Artificial Intelligence as a Sedna in Gemini shift, at the same time that Pluto moves into technology and innovation oriented Aquarius, and many other trans-personal planets, and trans-Neptunian objects also make a shift into a new zodiac sign. It’s quite profound.

The heart of the corporate machine seem to be struggling in multiple areas in the last few years… affecting everyone… In astrology, Sedna has a link to global trade and aspiring towards securing a steady supply chain of resources that humans need and/or desire. In her discovery chart, Sedna conjunct the IC in Taurus is conjunct the North Node of Fate, in the fourth house. This is another great key in understanding the energy of Sedna at the very last 29th degree of Taurus.

In the days leading up to Sedna first moving into new zodiac Gemini, we’ve been seeing an astonishing amount of manifestations of Sedna in the 29th anarectic degree of Taurus, in the media. Oort cloud object Sedna has been in Taurus since the 60s, but enters new zodiac sign Gemini for the first time on 15/16 June 2023 to retrograde back into Taurus in November.

It’s likely to bring revolutionary ideas that change the way we understand the concept of consciousness, and what it means for the other, Artificial Intelligence, to view humanity, despite all the insecurities, fears, anxieties, and self-doubts that so commonly plague the human psyche.

The South Node in the chart shows the comfort zone of the lucky country that rely so heavily on this permanence, and feeding off that financial stability for its emotional comfort. Uranus will soon be conjunct Australia’s Moon in the zodiac sign of Taurus the bull, which is another comfort zone based on material stability as well. What potentials can we expect based on the astrology.

Sedna in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn started this aspect early in 2022 and it brought forth a karmic flood that had people face their controlling, stubborn and selfish behaviours, especially their unresolved power issues; the desire to have power over another, as well as being powerless when someone ‘lords it over' another.

Employees increasingly ‘knowing their worth’ and not willing to ‘slave their energy away’ in what is unsustainable.

The Inuit people knew how to live in harmony with nature, as a force that takes care of them in turn, when the spiritual balance between life forms are maintained. In Sedna’s tales, the Angakok was a wise man who acts as a priest, prophet and doctor, also a shaman who connects on a soul level for wisdom seeking; particularly in times of trouble when there is food shortages due to spiritual starvation and moral depravity that is causing imbalance in community and in the cycle of life.

Sedna is currently at 28 degrees Taurus, to enter the crisis degree of 29 degrees Taurus soon. Saturn is also square the bendings (the Nodes of Fate) for an extraordinarily long period of time, in fact, all winter long.

CoVid-19 started during two major aspects in the astrological sky. Sedna conjunct Algol and Eris square Pluto. Algol is about having to stand one’s ground and protect yourself. Algol energy, and its Medusa association guides us to find confidence, bravery and more importantly protection for ourselves. Medusa is a symbol of strength, and the power of transformation. The medical term Algology means the study of pain.

Mankind still seem to have a phobia when it comes to not having toilet paper… as these shelves have been on the empty side for a long time… Sedna energy is strong in our collective consciousness right now, since it conjuncted malefic star Algol and the Pleiades at the start of 2020.

Sedna’s story is the tale of how a woman restored the meaning of her own life, as well as for others, by allowing the ‘waters to flow again’ by transiting the depth of emotion, to emerge with new life; being able to release sustenance for all. When Sedna energy first visit’s a person, via a transit or a progressed personal planet conjunct Sedna, a loss and a separation of an old way of life is often felt deeply.

From July 2021 - 2026 all of the outer planets will be in the 29th degree for some time, and aspecting each other. There is an inconjunct between Sedna and Haumea, a trine from Sedna to Pluto, a square from Haumea to Pluto. There will also be a Yod, with Sedna in Taurus and Neptune in Pisces making aspect to Haumea at the apex. These will be highly transformative times. Planets of the apex of a Yod experience a great deal of stress, and Haumea will be at the receiving end of some time.

Tsunami's are most commonly generated by the movement of tectonic plates under the ocean floor, during an earthquake. They can also be caused by volcanic eruptions, meteorite impacts, glacial carving or landslides. Prediction in astrology is not an exact science. Even though it is challenging to predict earthquake or volcanic activity with astrology, some signatures seem to work with regularity. Sedna, Uranus, Eris and connections with Mars or Jupiter seem highly indicative.

The article relates to Sedna, as it involves a community, and the leaders of a corporation, who would not honour their commitments, nor reciprocate fairly. They flatly refused to be in gratitude of another’s craft, value, or worth. They made poor choices, that had far-reaching consequences. It’s a story of mystery and sabotage. Denial and innocence lost. Of moral considerations and cause and effect. It has curiosity and charm, and the story has many Sedna elements in it.

Nobody can deny that in the last two years we have seen extreme forms of narcissism and god-complex, with a mixture of Sagittarius North Node, Eris square Pluto, Uranus square Saturn, Sedna conjunct fixed star Algol, and Sedna now conjunct the Pleiades, the North Node. There is also hope for Venus/Jupiter/Neptune in Pisces. So it is no wonder that the option is now there to go into the metaphorical underworld, and loose those attachments to illusions and makyo… The element of chaos, do also present a potential for great alchemy.

Sedna knows of the moral decay, which is why the food from the ocean comes with a catch: strict rules and conditions, and if not adhered to, meant disrespect, which angered Sedna. For it was through the actions of humans, that her animal populations dwindled, and are endangered. It is humans who sinned against nature. Who commit offences to living beings and the natural world. Sedna reminds that consciousness and the law of reciprocity operates at all times amongst interconnected ecosystems.

Sedna is seen as a harbinger of disaster, but that is only from a certain point of view, for she has abundance and backbone, despite the appearance of none. Sedna’s watery energies are affecting each of us as individuals, resulting in some mental health crises, and icy, stuck emotions. Psychologically, she is the way-shower and shaman, and with that comes some disillusionment, mental health crises, and stuck frozen emotions. Sedna is a mere 50 years from within her closest brush to Earth.

Both Eris and Sedna achieved authority of the underworld, living in fertile rich Soul connection, by making changes, and embracing a new way, where others could not. Sedna is a symbol of the embodiment of a rich spiritual life and wisdom, after a long journey that included delusions, denial, disappointments and mishaps.

Sedna is not the harbinger of disaster. She is the way-shower and shaman, and with that comes some disillusionment. The energy of this planet is currently extremely pronounced in our consciousness, with eclipses and important conjunctions activating her powerfully. In 1966 Sedna first made her way into Taurus, which governs things that we value. With it now at the last degree, it is clear that our values are changing and that we are becoming orientated towards a new way of being.
