Slowly and almost undetected, Chiron and Eris have been moving towards a conjunction in Aries.
On March 26, 2026, Venus joinsforming a triple conjunction Venus-Chiron-Eris at 25° Aries.
This is a very underrated astrological event between slow moving bodies and explains a LOT of what is happening right now.
Let’s unpack this:
In the last 7 years, Chiron in Aries has been stirring up parts of ourselves that needed a voice, even when they were never allowed to.
Chiron in Aries – The wound of “I am”
Through this process (sometimes painful, sometimes relieving, always vulnerable), we have gained a little more self-understanding and a little more courage to stand up for who we are.
Chiron points out the fundamental wound of existence – to that part of us that feels existentially unwelcome.
In Aries, this fundamental wound of existence becomes raw and direct: why am I here?
Chiron’s transit in Aries has brought to light the ways we have acted as if our existence doesn’t really matter and, in response, the ways we have worked to prove that it does.
In recent years, Chiron has been like the bullied kid in school who has quietly worked on what he was bullied for.:
- “You’re stupid” has become persistent effort and education.
- “You are ugly” in body care, not necessarily for appearance, but for health and well-being.
- “You are poor” in the ability to build something with minimal resources, becoming efficient and productive in the process.
What about the ugliest forms of harassment, like “I invite you to the birthday party and when you come, I slam the door and laugh because you will never be one of us”?
…or “your mother is trash”, “your brother is a loser”, things that the bullied child has no control over and that hurt the most?
For that kind of bullying – the “just because we can” kind – we have Eris.
Unlike Chiron, whose wounds, however painful, can be gradually worked on and integrated, Eris speaks of systemic injustice. The kind of exclusion and restriction that we cannot fix, negotiate or overcome.
In Greek mythology, Eris was the sister of Ares, the god of war. But unlike Ares, his weapons were not brute force.
Expelled from the company of the gods, Eris learned a different kind of strategy. Her weapons became her mind, wordsand moment.
Eris in Aries – The elephant in the room
Without being invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, Eris appears anyway and throws the Golden Apple. – the same apple that the serpent used to attract Eve, the same apple that draws us into an endless scroll and sucks our main mental space – our attention – away from what matters.
The Golden Apple of Eris has the inscription “to the fairest.”
That’s all it took. The 3 most powerful and vain goddesses wanted him, and what followed was a chain of events that led to the Trojan War..
One way to look at Eris’s action is as vengeful – Did she really have to start a war because she was not invited to the wedding?
Or we can see it as What happens when a system reaches a point where it begins to collapse under its own outdated structure?.
Was Eris vengeful – or did she simply expose the hypocrisy of a system that kept her out because she felt uncomfortable – a system built to preserve her power, not to be challenged by what doesn’t fit?
Astrologically, Eris represents the big elephant in the room. – that undeniable structural truth that no one wants to see.
And the moment the elephant is recognized, the script changes. What was hidden can no longer be ignored, and the narrative inevitably follows suit.
Venus in Aries: when the choice becomes inevitable
What about Venus?
When Venus meets Eris and Chiron, hurt and injustice are charged with personal courage, pointing out what we are no longer willing to betray in ourselves.
Once that threshold is crossed, the choice becomes inevitable.
In the myth, of course, it was Aphrodite (Venus) who won Eris’ challenge: promising Paris the most beautiful woman on Earth, Helen. It’s always Venus who decides what’s worth choosing, isn’t it? And everything else follows from it.
The rest is history, the Trojan War begins and the world will never be the same again.
The key idea here is that Eris is not the cause of the conflict, as might seem to be the case,
–> but the necessary ‘last straw’: the precise trigger point that released the tension of a system that could no longer sustain its own contradictions.
With the fall of Troy, the system is reset and a new order begins.
Venus, Chiron and Eris in Aries: the child bullied at school
Returning to our next Chiron-Eris-Venus conjunction.
The approach of Venus accelerates what has already been building, bringing to the surface, in a more immediate and personal way, what has long surpassed its current form.
Together, Venus, Chiron, and Eris reveal what happens when the defeated horse becomes a stallion.
When the boy everyone was laughing at is now the one no one can ignore. When that version of us that was pushed now stands firm.
What we are witnessing right now – in the world and in our own lives – is the reboot of structures that have lost their authenticity and can no longer sustain themselves, not in their current form.
And while the temptation is to focus on what is happening outside, the true gift of this transit is the recognition of what is happening inside us. Life itself has reached its limit. – and where something in us is ready to respond differently.
What is there in your life that can no longer be sustained in its current form? Where have you been adapting, negotiating, or remaining silent, when something deeper is ready to be recognized?
Where is the child being bullied at school now? surpassed his environment – and can I no longer tolerate what comes from the wound.?
What needs to be changed, what script needs to be changed so that we can restore what we were never allowed to be?
The Chiron-Eris conjunction is based on another important aspect between two outer planets.
At the same time that the Chiron-Eris saga is developing, we have support Sextile Saturn-Pluto which represents Stage II of this process. A specific report will be published in the coming days.
