Eris
Eris, the largest dwarf planet, named for the goddess of discord, discovered in 2005, is read in modern astrology as the dwarf planet of strife and disruption that reveals what has been left out or denied, the fierce stand for the disenfranchised, and the soul's truth set against the need to belong. Read Eris by its sign, house, and aspects to find where this principle works in the chart.
Lean in — Work consciously with Eris's theme of discord that exposes what was excluded where it falls.
Watch for — Dismiss Eris as too obscure; its theme acts whether or not you name it.
