Mars+Eris= Eris militaris

In 'The astrology of terror' I mentioned Mars, Uranus and Eris as important indications in a chart (see: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2015/11/the-astrology-of-terror.html ) Today I like to tell you more about aspects with Eris and their possible meaning and about the Mars+Eris combination. This combination is prominently present in the charts of acts of war (like terror). You can see it in the charts of:

1. Pearl Harbor (http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2010/12/chart-of-pearl-harbor-december-7-1941.html ) with Mars opposite Midheaven and Eris exactly square Ascendant on the moment of the attack (Japanese planes vs American fleet). 
2. It is in the chart of the moment when moslim terrorists started to kill the athletes sent to the Olympics of Munich by Israel. Mars in I was inconjunct Eris in the VIII. It was September 5, 1972, at 4:30 a.m.
3. The first one of the Twin Towers was attacked at September 11, 2001 at 8:46 a.m. when Mars was quindecile MC and 108d from Eris (that is 3/10 of the circle). Minor aspects sometimes have major effects.
4. The chart of the attacks on the Boston Marathon (April 15, 2013 14.30 hours) has the Sun between Mars and an VIII house Eris .
5. The Woolwich stabbing was with Eris in VIII, semi sextile Mars and inconjunct Ascendant , with Mars between Sun and Eris. 
6. In Parijs, last November 13, Mars was 157.5 d away from Eris. Eris was square Ascendant. Mars was opposite MC
7. The Thalys incident's chart: Mars 105 d Eris and midpoint Mars/Eris sesquisquare MC 

I wish that knowing this helped! But, because there are more of such aspect combinations each day, there are also moment for a possible attack each day, everywhere. Charts of the persons involved, the nations and the mundane hart... they all contribute to the picture. Mars and Eris also pop up during 'little wars', like Mars of one woman in conflict with another lady's Eris (and fighting for a man:). 

How to see Mars-Eris in the natal chart? I wonder: Recep Erdogan has Mars trine Eris: it must be easy to start a conflict with such a trine...  Eris is still rather new in astrolog. She is Malafide, ruining the fairy tale for the Sleeping Beauty. I'll play with possible combinations. For example: Eris + Ascendant might upset relationships (to be or not be the one throwing the golden apple:). Moon-Eris: used to discord. Mercury-Eris: bitchy words? Eris+MC in the most positive sense: mediator? Venus-Eris: like to have conflicts (and make it up). And Sun? I have an example.

Samantha Lewthwaite, terrorist daughter of a British soldier, has Sun sextile Mars and trine Eris (with Mars wider opposite Eris).She was born December 5, 1983 (4 positions in Sagittarius, Jupiter between Sun and Neptune and Mars exactly sextile Uranus, all to match the pattern of terrorists that you see in the earlier post mentioned above). Doesn't Sun-Mars-Eris also refer to her father's profession, perhaps? I like to read Sun-Mars-Eris as the combiation of a life connected to war, battle and discord. 

Lewthwaite was born on the same day as a children's party in my country (December 5, Sinterklaas). There is a lot of fuss around that tradition right now. One of the things people do with Sinterklaas is putting a 'surprise' in a boot or shoe. May it not be an Eris Militaris (the spider above)!

PS Mars is now in 13th degree Libra. Retrograde Eris is in the 23rd degree of Aries. Midpoint Mars/Eris is in the 18th degree of Cancer/Capricorn today.

Eris was of importance in the charts of the Kouachi brothers: http://astropost.blogspot.nl/2015/01/eris-and-charts-transits-and.html

Eris and the charts, transits and progressions of the Kouachi brothers

Above is a scary picture for those who are afraid of spiders. It is a photo of a jumping spider named Eris Militaris. This picture was chosen because of the importance of dwarf planet Eris in the chart of two terrorists as I will show you. Eris is sesquisquare midpoint Sun/Moon in the chart of one and elevated in the chart of the second one. Eris (wrath, chaos and strife) is the goal and the motivation of terrorism.

It is the day of the big manifestation against terrorism in Paris. Here are the AA rated charts (source Astrodatabank) with transits and progression of the late Saïd and Chérif Kouachi, the brothers who murdered the staff of CharlieHebdo (see earlier post) for you to study.

Charts, as you know, can't be read without considering the genes, gender, situation, conditions and culture, age or period in history.  Charts are just astrological pictures of the sky for a certain moment. At that certain moment cats, dogs, birds, companies and human beings were born, people died and married or gave birth and there were accidents or happy moments for hundreds of thousands of people. The chart shows important items and issues. Astrologers see the picture of the sky as a reflection of a certain moment and they believe that the moment of birth (seeing the light) is the most important moment for a person. The picture of the sky shows the nature of the person. The charts of the brothers must also be seen in the light of their position in society and their background. That is even more important here, because their charts highlight the importance of genes and background (Ceres). And the importance (for them) of disharmony, discord and fights (Eris).

The oldest brother Saïd has a chart with :
a. Ceres (genes, dynasty) conjunct Ascendant, Sun conjunct IC (the point of family and background), b. Eris (the symbol of discord) elevated and inconjunct Sun (unbalanced disharmony, at cost of life)
c. the Moon in Leo (need to be a leader or draw attention) rises before the Sun (own needs and own family/group first)
d. The tightest aspect in his chart is Jupiter square Neptune. Jupiter-Neptune is the combination of the believing audience, the fans and followers and devotion. That is why Jupiter-Neptune is related to the movies, but also to beliefs and religion. A square is for a difficulty, a battle. This tight square makes being a follower or believer an important issue in his life.
e. The Sun-Uranus minor aspect refers to being an outsider, alienation, independence or rebellion.

At the time of the murders and of his death there were two in conjuncts:
1. progressed IC was inconjunct Uranus and
2. the progressed Descendant inconjunct Venus.
There is also an Eris-Node opposition. That is it.

His brother Chérif has a typical combination for terrorism:
1. Sun semi square Mars and conjunct Uranus. The Sun-Mars-Uranus combination is frequent in charts of terrorists, but doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be a terrorist, of cours. 2. Uranus rising before the Sun made it important to be controversial and 'different'.
3. Sun/Moon midpoint sesquisquare Eris motivated for disharmony and is motivated by it.
The Leo Ascendant is for drawing attention. That completes the picture.

At the time of the murders and of his death, we see:
- progressed Mars conjunct Descendant and
- transit Neptune square Uranus, conjunct cusp 8 (house of death) + square progressed MC,
- but also transit Jupiter inconjunct Mars
As a member of a group (of terrorists) you could see the chart as that of a man eager to act, motivated and at the time perhaps driven by an ideal.

Charts don't judge or explain. Charts show us how a person's astrological situation is and need to be interpreted. We must see them in the light of the background and circumstances and weigh all factors. Actors and sports men were born on their days of birth. There are many ways to deal with anger and aggression or energy.

The fact that it didn't take much to turn these brothers with these charts into killing machines - prepared to die in the name of their faith - is very scary. There is an important astrological signal in their charts that might be the key to their acts. Eris. Eris is important in their charts. The position of this symbol tells us that chaos, strife and disharmony was their goal (elevated Eris) and motivated them (Sun/Moon Eris). Eris is the symbol of jealousy. In the myth, she was the one not invited for the party (she always quarreled, that's why), seeking revenge by causing chaos and this ended in the Trojan war (with the famous Trojan horse, by the way). One named Paris was involved.

Quoting Wikipedia about Eris:

Strife whose wrath is relentless, she is the sister and companion of murderous Ares, she who is only a little thing at the first, but thereafter grows until she strides on the earth with her head striking heaven. She then hurled down bitterness equally between both sides as she walked through the onslaught making men's pain heavier. She also has a son whom she named Strife.

Is it coincidental that Eris became as important as Pluto (a dwarf planet) in the past decade, I wonder?   That doesn't give much hope. Maybe they can rename her, please, in Harmonia?:)
