Chiron and Eris: Opposing Forces in Astrology

Description

We are now at the peak of the first Chiron-Eris conjunction since 1972. What is this about?

Eris represents a massive, invisible, disruptive force in psychic and mental environments. Its arrival in Aries one century ago came with wave after wave of invasions to inwardly-centered humanity, which have led to a society organized in tribes and cults.

Chiron represents cohesion, internal integration, healing and individuation. Its self-actualizing property is an opposing force to the crazy-making of Eris. Its focus on individual process counteracts the tendency for digital society to be organized in tribes and cults. Both planets are now engaged in a confrontation that has built over many years.

I will place this into context, define the concept of a minor planet, offer delineations of both planets, and give real world examples of how the Chiron-Eris conjunction is playing out—and what it meant one cycle ago in the early 1970s.
