Dwarf planet Eris* was solely found in 2005, however her astrology looks like it has been with us endlessly. Eris is the uber darkish goddess, and as such shares related astrological traits as Black Moon Lilith, which I’ve already studied in depth. However what makes Eris distinctive in her personal proper? What makes her greater than only a feminine model of Pluto or an outer planet model of Lilith?
* Members Solely
Eris sq. Pluto occurred all through 2020 and 2021 which could be very fascinating in time period of so-called ‘The Nice reset’ and the trans-humanism agenda. Please word Steve Jobs, authentic CEO of (forbidden fruit!) Apple had Moon conjunct Eris.
In delusion Eris is the Greek goddess of discord, however there are two Eris’s. The primary Eris is the daughter of Nyx who gave delivery to a litter of nasties together with Algos (ache & sorrows) and Dysnomia (lawlessness). The second Eris is the sister of bloodthirsty Ares. So first impressions then are melancholia and sorrow combined with bloody, raging anger.
The Eris Myths
Eris as daughter of Nyx unleashes her strife-bearing kids when anybody lies beneath oath. Eris is solely doing her job of dispensing destiny. As a darkish goddess she is simply balancing the books and maintaining the pure order. This Eris is about robust love and brings tough justice. The facet of Eris which is the sister of Ares reveals up within the subsequent delusion.
Eris was not invited to a marriage so she chucked an apple marked “To the fairest” into celebration for the vainest goddesses to struggle over. Her rage at rejection and the necessity for vindication is what’s blamed for the Trojan warfare. The facet of her that’s like Lilith is the truth that she was the uninvited visitor, the disowned and exiled, the thirteenth fairy that cursed sleeping magnificence. Lastly Eris, like Lilith within the backyard of Eden brought about a hell of plenty of bother with only one apple! However we should look additional than the myths.
New tenth Planet?
Even the invention of Eris was controversial. When Uranus was found it shattered the peerlessly constructed Hellenistic model of the photo voltaic system. Uranus confirmed there was one other dimension…It broke the mildew.
Eris was fairly a special story, she was found when it was getting fairly obvious that there was now simply an excessive amount of on the market. The photo voltaic system was getting unruly with new discoveries each week, so with Eris all the brand new our bodies had been boxed and categorised.
Simply earlier than Eris was about to be honoured by the standing of being the ten planet, the astronomers referred to as an finish to the insanity and determined to demote Pluto and promote Ceres. Together with Eris, the gang of three change into referred to as dwarf crops. Neptune is the top of the road now in response to schoolbooks. Due to Eris the increasing photo voltaic system has paradoxically shrunk!
Like Uranus then, a part of Eris’s character may be gleaned from her discovery story. Eris opened up a giant scary can of Centaurs, Plutinos, Cubewanos and TNO’s. A Goddess as an outer planet?! Time to include and management.. Eris is omitted of the celebration as soon as extra. This time although she has taken down mighty Pluto too, infact Eris will take everybody down along with her if she feels she has been handled unfairly or disrespected. She exposes hypocrisy and takes and eye for an eye fixed.

Eris is the right whistle blower, however there’s a contact of the joker in Batman to her. When she finally dishes out her revenge she does it with such fashion! Eris is about poetic justice, the scene within the Godfather when the gangster wakes up in mattress with the pinnacle of his favorite racehorse appears so very Eris to me.
The similarities of Eris with Ereshkigal don’t go unnoticed, in actual fact Lilith was Ereshkigal’s handmaiden. Eris a flamboyant militant and activist, however most of all she is the warrior Queen. Suppose Boudicca crossed with Julian Assange… Eris was provisionally named Xenia after the well-known TV warrior princess, performed by Lucy Lawless no much less! It was identified that Mike Brown the discoverer wished to name her Persephone, however an asteroid already took that identify. Eris retains Persephone traits although, being the Queen of the Underworld/Darkness/Evening and that proven fact that her orbit could be very Persephone like.
Eris’s orbit is tilted and elliptical, the place all the opposite planets are on a degree airplane with one another as you may see within the diagram. She seems to spend half of the time above the airplane and the half the time under, identical to Persephone divided her time equally between the earth and the underworld. Eris is actually eccentric, her orbit veers manner out previous the Kuiper belt, however is available in so far as Neptune The orbital interval is achingly gradual, 557 years across the Solar.
*UPDATE. This text was initially written 5 years in the past. Since then I’ve researched Eris an amazing deal, utilizing her in consumer readings and seeing her robust reference to Lilith and Persephone themes. Right here can also be an up to date article on Eris “Darkish Goddess as Ruler” written again in 2011 the place I proposed Eris must be the trendy ruler of Libra (I nonetheless use the normal rulers in observe, however fashionable rulership is vital symbolically to assist us perceive the outer planet extra). My up to date Black Moon Lilith publish and Ceres posts include extra depth of the Eris/Persephone archetype. Right here is one other publish on Eris. Re-Divining The Female.
