Eris was Mars sister. She embodies the Woman Warrior, Mars counterpart, the feminine yang energy. As such, she vindicates the feminine powers of assertiveness, and aggressive defense of those who have been left out of the Gods' Banquet. She does so by creating chaos, conflict and even wars. When she was discovered in the deepest sky in 2005, she awakened the consciousness of women's relegated condition since time immemorial. Society has started to understand the great importance of Women's Power in society at all levels of activity.
Now men, feeling threatened in their misunderstood authority, attempt to use the last resources to keep their unjust control. They try with new restrictive laws to govern what women can and cannot do with and to their body. They impose additional taxes to feminine products that are never applied to similar personal products for men. They disrespect women in the workplace and create disadvantages for them paying them less for an equal job. They assault and denigrate women who have achieved higher levels of achievement in any domain. They publicly portrait women as objects of pleasure whose bodies need to have certain measurements to be considered desirable. They have been trying to hinder women's influence in the political arena, restricting their access to vote or to protest. They are aggressively removed from estrategic positions they have earned with their own capability, talent and efforts.
In some cultures, women are relegated to an infantile condition, by which they don't even have freedom of movement nor decision. In other countries they are victims of public gang rape. And the list goes on forever.
But Eris is now back on the scene to stay. Pluto has been fiercely squaring Eris for two years already. Nonetheless, slower than any other planet, Eris is even more powerful than Pluto with his ruthlessness. She is even stronger facing Mars, who, invisible under the Sun rays in Libra, tries to reconcile all parties. Eris is the star of the Aries Full Moon. She can only be stimulated to action by their respective square and opposition. For more on this, feel free to review my Aries Full Moon video.
