After finding out about my Galactic Longitude Sun-Eris opposition (24 minute orb) which puts more emphasis on my already strong Sun-Eris energy connection that I already was aware of having with my Sun-South Eris Node conjunction(10 minute orb), I was re-reading my 3 Eris books.
In particular, I was reading The Tenth Planet: Revelations from Astrological Eris by Henry Seltzer.
He discussed Albert Einstein who had Moon square Eris-Midheaven conjunction.
There was one astrological statement that he made about Albert Einstein that is inaccurate, and I don't know if he knows that.
page 44
Although the Eris placement in Einstein's chart does not directly aspect his intellectual planets, it does color his academic achievement since its prominent conjunction with his Midheaven reveals a person with personal strength to pursue his own thinking, even as an outsider to the world of universities and scientific establishment of his day.
That statement is correct if you consider Einstein's Astrological Nativity from the perspective of only Ecliptic Longitude, but the statement is wrong if you consider Einstein's Nativity from the perspective of the whole sky.
Eris placement in Einstein's Astrological Nativity does directly aspect his intellectual planet.
His Eris conjuncts Mercury in Right Ascension (Equatorial Longitude) which is the coordinate that is regularly used along with Declination (Equatorial Latitude) in Astronomy.
Astronomers track celestial objects mainly by Right Ascension and Declination which are referred to as the Celestial Coordinates. The International Astronomical Union constellations are actually derived from Right Ascension and Declination and not Ecliptic Longitude which is the coordinate that the astrological zodiacs are based on.
In Right Ascension:
Eris 00:11:32
Mercury 00:12:09
They are in a conjunction with 37 minutes of Sidereal Time.
1 minute of Sidereal Time is Equivalent to 1/4 degree of arc.
This Mercury-Eris conjunction has a very narrow orb.
It's an equivalent of a conjunction of 9 minutes of arc.
Interpretation of Eris in aspect with Mercury:
from Henry Seltzer's book
With Eris in aspect to your natal Mercury, you are so possessed of a powerful intellectual bent, that one can take the form of spoken or written communication, or the detective work necessary to probe mentally the philosophical depths of the world around you. You may be an articulate spokesperson for a particular point of view that is uniquely your own. You live to put this gift into the service of the collective that surrounds you, although you do so in your own particular way. What you thereby express has little do do with conventional thinking and attitudes. The better you know yourself as the deepest levels of your being, the better you can exercise your gift of intelligence to express these deeper levels to others; it is in getting at the very essence of what moves you deeply that you truly shine. You be a novelist or nonfiction writer, with also the potential for the more modern expressions of world play: blogging and creating song lyrics. You could also explore avenues of comedic speaking and writing, especially if Uranus is involved. All th intellectual roads that you traverse have the power to bring you into connection with yourself. It is a life-long study to discover who you really are, on the inside and once you do, you find that you are in a far better position to express your unique attitudes to the world around you.
