Dangerous Women: Eris & Other Legacies of Feminine Disrupters in Astrological Archetypes with Renee Sills and Aziz Bisanz

In this session Aziz Bisanz will be joined by Renee Sills for an exploration of “dangerous women” archetypes in astrology through the lens of the dwarf planet Eris and her long transit through Aries.

Since her discovery in 2005, Eris has carried an aura of controversy and disruption. Named for the Greek goddess of discord, Eris is often associated with conflict, agitation, outsider perspectives, and the destabilizing force of those who refuse exclusion or silence. Her discovery famously contributed to Pluto’s reclassification as a dwarf planet, symbolically linking Eris to themes of dethroning, decentralization, and the disruption of established orders.

In astrology, Eris has come to represent the archetypal energies that dominant cultures frequently fear and punish: unruly truth-telling, refusal of compliance, collective unrest, gendered projections, rage born from exclusion, and the catalytic power of those cast as threatening or “too much.” As Eris continues her decades-long journey through Aries—and as Neptune and Saturn move into Aries alongside her—the tensions between individuality, conflict, survival, embodiment, and resistance become increasingly amplified within both personal and collective life. 

This session will weave together space science and astronomical context, mythic and astrological interpretation, embodiment practice, and personal reflection. Participants will be invited to contemplate Eris in their natal charts, explore the stories projected onto “dangerous women” across history and culture, and engage with the current collective moment through practices that support discernment, courage, relational awareness, and embodied presence.
