Astrologer and psychic J Valentine Lahey, known as Val, of Distance Between Planets joins Nikkiana Jones to introduce Eris, the dwarf planet discovered in 2005 that set off Pluto's demotion. In this first part, they cover what a newly discovered planet means in astrology, why Eris took so long to find, and how Val sees the bond between Eris and Pluto.
Val describes Eris as a near twin of Pluto in the Kuiper Belt and talks about the search for Planet Nine, which Nikki connects to the Nibiru story. He explains his view that the outer planets always had influence but that discovery brings them into the collective mind, after thousands of years when Saturn marked the edge of the known system. Nikki admits that it "pisses me off" that astrology seems to work and wonders if we live in a video game, while Val shares his belief that planets are living beings in a kind of solar-system terrarium. They talk about how astrologers learned Pluto's meaning after its 1930 discovery, the difference between Eris the goddess and Eris the planet, and the year-and-a-half naming fight at the International Astronomical Union. Nikki recalls visiting observatories, and Val credits the Caltech team and explains why distant objects and incoming asteroids are hard to see. The part closes with Pluto's motifs of hidden power, quantum mechanics and the atom bomb, and Val's view that Eris and Pluto work as a pair. These are Val's and Nikki's own astrological interpretations and opinions, not established fact.
Highlights:
- Val explains why Eris and Pluto are almost the same size, and why that led to Pluto's demotion
- Planet Nine, the Kuiper Belt and Nikki's Nibiru question
- Nikki on why it bothers her that astrology seems to work
- The politics of naming Eris, and why distant planets are so hard to find
- Val on Pluto's hidden power and its tense pairing with Eris
