Greece is taken over by unknown forces! Forces the nature of which we essentially ignore! All we can say with certainty is that these astrological forces are omnipotent, primitive and somehow fatal. They will radically change the shape and the “soul” of this ancient country. A new Greece is been hatched now, a Greece that if it will be finally “born” and arised it will have nothing to do with the old Greece of the 20th century (or of the first decade of the 21st century). I write “if it will be finally born” because in this phase – as with every birth – is very delicate and always lurks the danger of extinction. The astrological influences on Greece are extremely powerful now! And they largely stem out of a planet that has just been discovered and whose nature has not yet been decoded!
In fact, Greece has never received before such extreme astrological influences! Especially in the last 3 years has been the “target” of an ancient mysterious planet (dwarf planet for the astronomers) that moves on the very edge of our solar system and which is answering to the name “Eris”! This planet is big enough – as big as Pluto – but is very far away from us – thus we discovered it only in 2005. When first discovered many people considered it to be the legendary Tenth Planet of our solar system! You understand that we are not talking here about a “bolder” but of an important celestial body, which we astrologers owe to include in the astrological charts we erect and interpret it properly.
Eris is currently an “uncharted area”. Very little we know about its nature and its astrological properties. It will probably take another 20 to 30 years to form a complete picture of its astrological “identity”. The thing is though that Eris has spent the last years being in a severe frontal collision course with the horoscope of Greece. And it is the first time since the foundation of Greece that Eris influences in such a negative way this mediterranean country! This is a great astrological event, which as I understand has not been studied yet! An event that requires us to determine directly the mysterious properties of Eris, because they will ultimately determine to a large extent the course of Greece in 2012 – and in the years to come!
Eris is now at 21 degrees of Aries and it is currently forming an acute square aspect to the natal Sun of modern Greece (22 degrees of Capricorn, and a few minutes – not sure about Greece’s time of “birth”). Essentially,Eris is hovering over the 22 degrees of Aries since 2010 (the year the huge crisis in Greece started). And because of its extremely slow motion and its many retrogradations Eris will keep hovering around 22 degrees of Aries until 2017 – forming continuously a square aspect for 8 consecutive years to Greece’s natal Sun! Considering the adverse influences of Uranus – Pluto in the natal horoscope of this country too (see the link below), you realize how crucial this period is for modern Greece.
Since each planet has its “flip” side (i.e. Pluto contains the “destruction” but the “regeneration” too), our interpretation will not be complete without finding out first this Eris’ “flip” side . We have already taken a first idea of the “destructive” side of Eris, but we completely ignore its “creative” side, namely how will Eris “reform” and “re-build” the future Greece (of the 2020′s – 2030′s)!The most visible elements of discord mythological namesake that triggered the planet in the case of Greece is as follows:
1) The element of “uninvited”, the “unwanted” (Eris was the only deity that was considered undesirable and was not invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis). This is how we now facing the Western European Union, like a country side, like a country “pariah.”
2) H strength and “discord” that occurred in our country (symplokes the endless streets of Athens – and the tension between the same social strata)
3) The “dysnomia” (legislate and decide the fate of our country a parliamentary minority, which basically does not represent the will of the people).
4) The triggering of the “chain reaction” effect. In the myth of Eris something small and insignificant, like the golden apple that Eris threw in the room where the marriage of Peleus and Thetis was taking place disrupted some delicate balances and caused a strong chain reactions which eventually led to the Trojan war. On a superficial reading, the responsibility for the conduct of the Trojan war could be attributed to Eris. In reality, however, or intervention of discord was simply “drop which xecheilise the already full – of egos and rivalries of deities – glass.” Such a role but “international trouble maker” has been attributed in Greece. Every time I passed a memorandum to the Greek parliament all exchanges of the world anxiously await the outcome of the vote, and can say a tiny country and economy like that of Greece decisively affect both the stock exchanges all over the world! It is completely absurd, and yet many foreigners believe that Greece is largely responsible for the course today all stock of the Earth! Generally, our country has suddenly become very important for the whole planet is probably the country most often heard in the news all over the world! It has become an unprecedented global publicity – but mostly negative in nature, at this stage!

This is a very interesting article but I looked up the data for the Greek natal chart, thinking it was strange not to have the time of birth for a national chart, and neither one of the 2 possible natal charts (one is in 1834 at 9° Cancer, the other in 1918 with a Sun at 24° Taurus) shows a Sun anywhere near what the author mentions here (22° Capricorn). The source for each is Astrotheme. This is confusing but there could be a good explanation which I’d love to find out about if anyone knows.
