As I'm writing this post update, we are still in the 'balsamic phase' of the cycle that began in 1972. Just like the final days before a New Moon, this period is not for action but for faith in the sense of "knowingness" about the "new".
The themes, fears, and breakthroughs that defined the last 53 years are being brought to the surface one last time, not to be re-lived, but to be consciously released through integration. It is a sacred window of time to review what was learned from the 'love, fears, and pains' of that era before we consciously rebirth a new reality or let's say "bond anew".
Chiron - Eris: 2025 to 2079 - "new bondings"
The Players:
Chiron – the “wounded” Healer – the Master of Loops and Self…. He’s a bit an “outsider” but even as that, he was respected and loved by many….
I see with him, the fine and important distinction between sacrifice to self and the one to others in the sense of the "sacrifice of ego".
In my “pdf book” about Eris, I tell the mythology about the golden apple as an example of “surpassing stories” in their “direct way” – yet, mainly it’s about Eris’ orbit and with that, we can suddenly even go further “beyond” the obvious, the stories…
Eris is about “revelations”, the reality of situations and oneself – she exposes lies and "the core", the "essence" of something or someone…
What does fear create???
I remember when the book "1984" has been "surpassed" by the "safety measurements" and had created a world that has felt as like taking the possibilities out of one's life as the price for "security" - when did it start to tip to the other side and in this sense "backfired"?
In every process, there's this moment, when it starts to tip and suddenly "it" takes over and in this sense becomes "an own life" and I think all the discussions about A.I. (and it's new "super" or whatever version) is a very good example of this and shows, that "we" are aware of this problem within a "cycle"...
In planetary cycles, such doesn't happen at the conjunction - yet, when "birthing" a new cycle at the conjunction, WHAT of the OLD are we "re-birthing" with it...
Chiron – Eris conjunction 2025 – Chart and details
Chiron and Eris circled red – at 29°49’31” sidereal Pisces
They are trined by Mars and Juno conjoining in sidereal Scorpio constellation Ophiuchus.
They are sextiled by Hygiea in early Gemini constellation Taurus (the horns)
Not directly aspecting but important – Saturn and Neptune almost exact conjunction in early Pisces.
Not directly aspecting but of influence is the conjunctions and alignments of Earth, Moon, Uranus and Sedna in early sidereal and constellation Taurus.
The conjunction location
Chiron and Eris stand at the “ribbon”, that is tying the two fish together.
The story goes, that when the Giant Typhon was threatening all the gods, Venus (Aphrodite) and Eros her son, were in Syria and to escape, they transformed themselves into two fish. In order to not get lost in the currents, they did tie themselves together…
As you can see, within the conjunction – geometry below, their next conjunction will take place beyond the upwards swimming fish, meaning, that Chiron will have made a full orbit and Eris will have moved beyond the star Alrischa (Alpha Piscium) as the “knot” of that bond…
What does “bonding” mean – well, we have a bond through marriage for example or we have an “association” with something, identify with an idea or ideal, and we see bonding of elements creating another one like for example 2 Hydrogen atoms bond with an Oxygen atom and form water…
Interestingly, we have the theme of "bonding" again from the perspective of Juno in conjunction with Mars and their Trine aspect to our conjunction.
It's in this sense, a creative trine, yet one on the second half (at 240 degrees) and therefore isn't a relationship that is "new" but one that has passed it's culmination and is about to be harvested but changes can be applied before.
So, relationships (also the one with self or the Universe) can become "masterful" but war isn't the answer, it's part of the old. In my personal understanding and experiences, "war" doesn't take place "outside" but mainly "within" and therefore any "introspection" or recognition of self-worth, self-love and alike can change "everything".
The first Sextile formed by Hygiea on the Taurus-Gemini cusp does further emphasis on "mastery" and the importance of "maintaining" a coherent type of "root energy" - the own foundations need to be as "original / pure" as possible.
The Conjunction History and Geometry of Chiron and Eris
Chiron and Eris do not come physically close to each other, yet, energetically they do - for example are their Perihelia and Aphelia as points on the "influence axis" only roughly 6 degrees apart.
Their last conjunction in 1972, which has influenced so many of us, was one near their Aphelia and therefore "slow moving" - approaching and separating conjunction did together last for years and so it's similar this time around, besides, in 1972 their conjunction took place opposite of Uranus and therefore many people are born with a more or less exact opposition of Uranus with both or either of the Two.
The relationship of the numbers 11 and 12:
Astrological 11th house: community, shared ideals and goals, humanitarianism
Master number 11: vision, intuition and integration
Appearance: it looks a bit like two pillars standing side by side just like the glyph for Gemini in Astrology. In this sense we can see a polarity within it, that is connected through balance.
Tarot the Justice card: stands for fairness and the call to a "higher truth"
Astrological 12th house: subconscious, spirituality, oneness, completion, dissolving
Number 12: completion of a cycle (12 months, 12 hours etc.)
Tarot the “hanged man”: symbolizes a change in perspective, surrender (to wisdom)
Geometry: Dodecahedron – a shape with 12 faces (pentagonal)
Our 2025 conjunction does take place just between the 1438 and the 1489 conjunction-placements.
I found that interesting and wondered what had happened at those times in history. YET, please note, the “houses” weren’t the same at that time, so there was a different interpretation needed back then to now – we could also say, THOSE themes are really done now and I think, we’re seeing it, while there are still some who actually do hold onto the “old style”.
1438 was a time with major changes and disruptions – the first king of the house of Habsburg was elected “emperor of the Roman Empire”
It was also in this time, that the “Council of Basel” was held, which voted to suspend the Pope from papal authority – a truly rebellious act.
During the 1438 conjunction, Saturn stood a few degrees further than Chiron and Eris, roughly at the place they have their conjunction this year and Uranus stood around the same place where he stands during this conjunction.
In 1489 was similarly when Arthur Tudor was named Prince of Wales and with this, funding a new “royal bloodline”.
Typhus first appears in Europe – a new disease or “wound” showed and caused suffering but also lead to medical and scientific advancements.
In 1489 the first printed use of the plus and minus signs kind of “grounded” it.
Also in this year, the first "Chief Master of Postal Services" was appointed in Innsbruck, which was the first step towards the postal system of Europe
During the 1489 conjunction of Chiron and Eris, they stood in alignment with the star Alrischa (Alpha Piscium) and Chiron a little passed the star Torcularis also of Pisces yet, clearly in sidereal Aries. In that time there was a huge stellium throughout the entire sidereal sign of Sagittarius. Jupiter though was just a few degrees ahead of the Two in Aries.
Cycle 15th January 1972 to November 2025
The Love, fears and pains - and the behavior patterns they create
They met at 17°55’35” sid. Pisces and will meet next at 29°49’31” sidereal Pisces.
The previous cycle started on 25th of October 1917 at 4°6’39” near SGP and vernal point.
Their current cycle started conjoining the stars Deneb Algenubi of Cetus and Linteum of Pisces in opposition with Uranus in Virgo…
(the current Uranus – Eris cycle started in 2016 and the Chiron – Uranus cycle in 1969).
The whole theme here is to “uncover”, reveal what is “loved”, got potential for growth of our very own being – each of us individually as well as a collectively… we can gain riches by “listening” the own inner whispers and following the natural guiding system around us.
By doing this, we break repetitive “loops” of the past, we break free of the “sameness” thinking and improve ourselves and same time may even give example for other people's empowerment.
We may also be asked here to break free of the perception of so called “negative experiences” to be “bad” and to be “avoided” for “any price”….
Every experience is unique even if there are similarities that reminds us of something else that can be “used” as a hint but nevertheless needs further examination and response should be based on the “now”, the reality and not the similarity.
In December 2021 we will reach the last 13 degrees before their next conjunction – this means we’re very clearly in “balsamic phase” for the next few years… you can compare the energies with the feel of the last days before a new Moon…. It’s special, “mystic”, full of wishes and foresight for the future, hopes and so on but most of all future oriented as like it would be “touchable” already….
