The Tenth Planet: Revelations from the Astrological Eris

This book takes a look at the dwarf planet Eris, from its discovery to application to astrology. He considers the mythology with interpretative views of the archetype and how this information can be utilized while looking at charts.I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It accomplishes what I consider to be ideal when I’m reading a book about astrology. The author looks at the topic, in this case Eris, develops a working thesis(interpretation) and goes on to show examples on how thIs data fits the original thesis. In so doing, the reader is provided with information they can test out for themselves, but more importantly, for me at least, is leave you with an interest and curiosity to reflect upon for yourself.I can also add that his interpretations for house and aspects all match my own chart but also that as reading I saw the concepts through lived experience come to life.Some may claim he used far too many charts, perhaps even claiming they are just filler. However, each chart provided illustrates his original interpretations but also offer aspect relationships etc..each either reaffirming the thesis but also adding a variety of shades that only add to the reader’s understanding, and as mentioned earlier, offers starting blocks for the reader’s imagination to think of myriad possibilities of application.Final point is that the author wrote this expecting the reader have working knowledge of astrological concepts and vocabulary. If the reader doesn’t have this they’ll certainly feel a bit lost. However with this background the reader will find the book is a fast and very easy and enjoyable read.

As an astrology enthusiast, I am thrilled to learn more from Henry Seltzer regarding Eris. Henry's command of his subject is thorough and written, I believe, for many levels of students. A student can go as deep as the mind will absorb, while being grounded by references to well-known people. That means a reader can ride along with Henry's discussions of various heroes, while learning more about the hidden influences that have always shaped out lives in the archetype of the Spiritual warrior.Very well researched and finely presented Now, I just need to upgrade my Astrograph to include Eris in Transit reports!

It has been years since I have messed with Astrology and Eris was new to me. This book was very disappointing as it did not present anything intelligible for me...was a waste of my money!

I am not a good judge of the content. It didn't seem to "fill in the blanks" on any of the charts I work with, but I am intending to try again when I get some spare time. Not too sure how much faith I have in Erros compared with the larger and closer planets. Will update this if I find value.

Except for the first five pages and then beginning on page 198 forward this book is a lot of academic style writing deisigned to fill white space . . . Becomes very boring very quickly. Everything could have been said in 60 pages or less that you or I would want to learn about Eris. Too, too much quotation of other copyright source material to fill space. Too many informational opinions that second guess or determine why a well known person chose a particular path was not necessary. That said, for the first time ever, I feel I really wasted my money on a Kindle book, or any book for that matter. A plain language pamphlet or booklet would have sufficed, but that would not have justified the $17+ price; truthfully, neither does the book. This is one time when an academidc astrologer gives some very full of himself opinions about cause and effect, not the least of which is his design of the Eris glyph "I designed"(author) being widely accepted in astrology circles.Truly, I wish I had not spent the money.

A well thought out approach to a new energy that humanity is ready to use to rebalance the feminine/masculine dynamic in each of us and between each of us as we find our way into a new level of consciousness..

Great information about this new discovery and done with the spiritual care Henry Seltzer always supplies.

Very informative and interesting.

This is a brilliant book on this recently discovered planet. Henry Seltzer has really got to the core and backs up his insights with very strong examples.I found the literary examples - Herman Melville, D H Lawrence and William Blake - particularly convincing, and his analysis of Eris in relation to C G Jung and the period leading up to the break with Freud and the First World War was compelling. It's prompted me to take a more serious look at Eris and do my own astrological research on this planet, which seems to be deeper and darker than Pluto.

Powerful, informative, insightful - deeply necessary for our time.

marvellous to be introduced to Henry Seltzer enjoyed the book and his web siteMany thanks

Well researched and well written with excellent examples of how this new planet can be incorporated into the birth chart. An ephemeris showing the Eris periods of retrogradation would be most helpful, and in fact, some interpreting of this condition. The interesting thing about this new planet is that it entered the sign of Aries in the 1920s, and is now only around the 24th degree of that sign, so very slow moving as it was discovered while at its farthest from the Sun in its orbit.I highly recommend this book.
