The discovery of Eris in 2005 caused upheaval to reorder our solar system. The International Astronomical Union reclassified Pluto as dwarf planet, together with newly found Eris as well as Ceres, Haumea, and Makemake. Possibly, Sedna and Quaoar are also dwarfs. In this book, the astrological meaning of the dwarf planets is analyzed through exploration of the underworld mythology and the creation mythology as well as astrological chart readings of the dwarf planets in relevant individuals and institutions. Dane Rudhyar's concept of the galactic dimension of the consciousness reorients the person's ego toward the spiritual self of the collective psyche and conveys messages from transindividual realms. What does that mean in terms of the astrology of the dwarf planets?
From Chapter 1 to Chapter 3, the astromythology of Pluto in association with Dionysus and Demeter examines the significance of its reclassification. From Chapter 4 to 8, we focus on the astromythology of Eris in terms of the psychoanalysis of Melanie Klein and the philosophy of Nietzsche and Gilles Deleuze to analyze the astrological meaning of Eris. Chapter 8 traces the transit of Eris in each sign along with the fixed stars through analysis of meaningful historical events. Chapter 9 analyzes the creation mythology of Haumea, Makemake, Quaoar and Sedna, within a wider structure of the Polynesian and Native American mythology. The astrological interpretation follows in Chapter 10.
