“One of the most important works of astrology published this year.”
Just published!
Eris: Sacred Feminine Force of Evolutionary Astrology presents a groundbreaking expansion of the Jeffrey Wolf Green evolutionary tradition. Drawing on decades of practice, teaching, and research, Daniel Fiverson weaves together mythic origins, historical context, and rigorous chart analysis to reveal Eris as an essential evolutionary archetype—one that exposes unresolved desire, confronts denied truth, and catalyzes profound transformation.
Within this framework, Eris is not a peripheral or disruptive anomaly, but a vital force operating within the natal chart, through transits, relationships, and generational cycles. She reveals where consciousness has been fractured or marginalized, and where the soul is compelled to reclaim authenticity at a decisive evolutionary threshold. Her presence clarifies moments of conflict not as failure, but as necessary awakenings within the soul’s journey.
Grounded firmly in the Pluto–node paradigm, this work deepens the interpretive power of Evolutionary Astrology while refining the method itself. For practicing astrologers, it offers clear, practical tools that can be applied directly in client work. For students, it provides a living transmission of the evolutionary method—now expanded and sharpened through Eris’s uncompromising voice. For readers seeking meaning in periods of upheaval, it offers a deeper understanding of whylife disrupts—and what the soul is being asked to remember.
Eris does not soothe or bypass discomfort. She insists on truth, consequence, and reclamation. She reveals where belonging has been purchased at the cost of self-erasure, and where awakening demands courage. In recognizing her unmistakable signatures, this book affirms a central truth of Evolutionary Astrology: no evolutionary analysis is complete without acknowledging what has been excluded—and no soul evolves without confronting it.
The reviews are coming in!
“This is one of the most important works of astrology published this year. I say this for several reasons. Daniel Fiverson is a longtime teacher and practitioner in evolutionary astrology, which assumes that astrology speaks to a mysterious continuity in a soul’s trajectory across multiple lifetimes. The author has for many years been immersed himself in the Jeffrey Wolf Green paradigm of evolutionary astrology, and now Daniel has taken the ideas and techniques of that school and run with it, by presenting a way for students of astrology to understand the relatively newly discovered body called Eris. This book grounds us in what is presently known about the astronomy of Eris, as well as in in how the mythological symbolism of the Greek goddess figure Eris is reflected in actual chart interpretation, both of natal charts and in mundane astrology, the astrology of world events. Importantly, Daniel’s work on Eris serves as a corrective to much traditional astrology which tends to prioritize male archetypes, to say the least. This book is also a fantastic read.”

Daniel Fiverson’s new book ‘Eris: Sacred Feminine Force of Evolutionary Astrology’, published by Wessex Astrologer, is the first title I’m aware of to purposely integrate Eris into the evolutionary astrology approach – specifically the Jeffrey Wolf Green school of evolutionary astrology.
Fiverson’s book begins with several scene-setting short chapters on different topics, including The Astronomy of Eris, The Mythology of Eris, and The Astrology of Eris. Then there is a section exploring Eris’s cycles in relation to both Pluto and Neptune. Next, a variety of mundane astrological topics are briefly considered in terms of the influence and symbolism of Eris, before the rest of the book is focused on reading Eris in the birth chart. This section begins with a succinct look at Eris in aspect to the natal planets, but the bulk of the space is given over to multi-page delineations of Eris in each of the twelve houses, with each one supported by multiple lengthy case studies of Eris’s natal house placement in the charts of famous people. The author makes a conscientious choice not to delineate Eris through the signs, pointing out that: ‘because Eris has a 577-year orbit, everyone on the planet today was born with Eris in Aries’.
Without the case studies, the house delineations would run to about two pages each, but the case studies pad this material out into a much fuller book than would otherwise be the case. For example, under Eris in the 1st house, we find just over 1½ pages of delineation followed by 12½ pages of case studies spanning three well-known public figures.
The inclusion of these lengthy worked nativities will likely increase interest in this book among astrologers who study the lives of cultural icons. Fiverson places a significant focus on the impact of Eris in the houses in each of these case studies, but as part of an integrated picture of the birth chart as a whole.
This book is an original and dedicated contribution to the growing astrological literature on Eris. It comes as recommended reading for astrologers in three categories: all who are curious to include Eris in their readings in a sensitive and balanced way or who have already read other sources on its astrological uses and want to blend in another opinion; evolutionary astrologers in particular (although not exclusively); and all who enjoy reading originally written worked case studies of famous people by sincere astrological thinkers.

“The author Daniel Fiverson, with a background in Tarot, Hermeticism, and the I Ching, takes a soul-centered approach to astrology and writes lyrically and persuasively of the goddess of chaos and discord in action. Due to its highly elliptical orbit, it spends 20% of its 557-year orbit in Aries, most recently from 1928 to 2048.
- Although Eris is a force that disrupts, provokes, and shatters
- illusions, here it is presented as a potent force for personal
- evolution and for understanding global historical cycles. Both
- conflict and catalyst, it highlights fractures that already exist.
House positions are key for personal interpretations since they stay for so long in Aries, as are aspects to natal planets. In a chart, it is where we are called to disrupt, challenge, and resist compliance with falsehoods, confront uncomfortable truths, face distortions, and say ‘No More’. The mythological background to Eris is extensively explored, and there is a wealth of detailed chart analyses focused on the house positions of well-known creative and political celebrities.”
