Eris is a dwarf planet discovered in 2005 and has since adopted a vital role in astrology. Eris was thought to be the 10th planet in our solar system and is the second-largest known dwarf planet in our solar system, coming in second place after Pluto. It takes Eris 558 years to complete one revolution around the Sun, making it one of our solar system’s slowest moving planetary bodies. The position of Eris is near the orbit of Neptune, past the Kuiper Belt. Eris is 68 astronomical units away from the Sun (one astronomical unit is the distance from the Sun to the earth), and due to its distance from the Sun, it takes sunlight 9 hours to reach the surface of Eris.
Eris Mythology
In Greek mythology, Eris is the personification of chaos, strife, and discord. Eris was the daughter of Nyx, which is the personification of night. Eris is also the sister and companion of Ares, and Eris was known to be part of the commencement of the Trojan War. Eris had a son, Strife, whom she bought with her when she rode the chariot to the Trojan War alongside Ares. All the Olympians were invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, who are the parents of Achilles. However, Eris was not invited due to always causing chaos and discord wherever she went.
What is the Role of Eris in Astrology?
Eris has a similar role as Pluto in astrology, as Eris indicates how and when you express your more rebellious side. How Eris is placed in your natal chart can show how you express disagreement and rebellion toward particular things. Some signs, such as Aries and Aquarius, are naturally rebellious and discordant; however, other signs are not known to be this way but can display these traits and tendencies in certain areas of their life. The solution to understanding how you speak up and fight against what you disagree with is indicated through your Eris placement. The Sun‘s placement might not give an accurate picture of a native’s rebellious temperament.
Eris entered Aries in 1922 and will remain there until 2048. Most people who are alive today have Eris in Aries, as Eris will spend around 126 years in this sign. The collective expression of Eris in Aries is that each individual has an awareness of their wants and values and finds it easy to fight or speak up against what they do not want. Eris in Aries has created a large group of people who are aware of their desires and challenge and fight against what opposes their desires.
While Eris is in Aries, we learn how to be more powerful, and we work hard and fight every day for our survival. We do not hold back on our anger and rage, and each person’s voice is essential and needs to be heard. As Eris spends decades in a sign, it has a powerful influence over the masses and how they approach what they wish to fight for. Often, we can feel that people are more self-motivated and self-concerned in this world, which can be the collective effect Eris has on us to survive in this fast-paced, ever-changing world.
