Aspects
Eris Opposition Mars
The Eris principle and your drive sit across from each other, so the clarifying discord often fires in response to others, the provocateurs who draw your fight, or those whose exclusion of you ignites your assertion. Conflict seems to find you. You may feel goaded into battles you did not choose, or cast as the aggressor for refusing to be left out. The resolution is to stop reacting on cue: own your own relationship to anger and exclusion, refuse both the victim and the brawler roles, and let conflict become a real reckoning you steer rather than a fight you are merely pulled into.
Lean in — Steer conflict into a real reckoning rather than be pulled in.
Watch for — Get goaded into battles you did not choose, then blame others.
