So, it seems that the IAU has decided to name the object formerly known as 2003 UB313, "Eris".  That is, of course, pretty amusing for the Discordians among us.  Regardless of what astrological meaning you want to give this object, it seems pretty clear that the logical choice for the glyph is the one below.  Robert Anton Wilson is probably dead by now, but I'm sure he's chuckling in his liquid nitrogen flask.

The Wikipedia doesn't think R.A. Wilson is dead.

Before we begin to honor the New Rising Goddess
we must pay our respects to Pluto and give the God
a proper burial. Crones, Dark Goddesses
and the Shamanka's responsibility must
come first ...

Dearly Beloved,

We have gathered here today to pay homage to the God PLUTO, Ruler of the Underworld who rarely wanted to live down in the underworld anymore after he and Persephone had gotten divorces and he consistently kept coming up to the middle world. Pluto was arrested and found guilty under Federation Law of the 'Galactic Center' which he soon will be entering at 26 degree's Sag and return to rest in peace for eternity to the 'Black Hole of the Great Mother's Womb'. Some Astronomers, AstroPhysicists and Astrologers who were present at the trial were mourning his arrest calling it a Witch Hunt, others said it was That Libra Woman who was responsible. Libra lifted up her skirt to the crowd to bring quiet back to the morners and the reporters were now 'coin'ing the phase: "The Pluto Years, History of Hell on Earth finally comes to its near end."

We shall morn his passing this morning for a few moments and bury Pluto with his accumulated Inheritances of wealth of the Kingdom in which he was a long time employee. You are invited to attend his Funeral next week, must wear black and walk side by side to deliver him to his unmarked grave. There will be a few important Goddesses to speak to the crowds as they will say a few prayers including the Goddess Hel and her Timeless Nordic Uelegy; Erishkigal and Lilith lead by Demeter and her daughter Persephone shall speak oracle through their tears of the woundings and share personal stories from the family's hidden past. They have decided they can forgive Pluto and have decided to return to Earth as Libra regained her seat at the Supreme Court Justice by 13 Earth Women Senators. Psyche shall give final rituals and rites over the actual grave; Mediah shall make the formal annoucements to all Media [h] Universities and Newspapers and Urania shall oversee the inviation list that is too large to list across the Milky Way.

The wake or rebirth party will be at sunset on the Dark Moon in the newly restored Miverva of Assissi Temple in Italy and shall be escorted by the Priestesses of Vesta, Juno, Nike, Venus and Artemis. Some of Pluto's Gate keepers will also go to the Black Hole including the Roman Emperors of Ceasar with a few important world Diplomats of his time and Homer. Their ceremony will be to made to walk first in front of the Holy Roman Church naked, so the little ones can finally reclaim their fragmented soul loss and that the Emporers New Clothes ‘were’ actually stained with the blood of children. The German Pope will give a few inspirational words before he turns over the keys of the City of Rome to Eris as she then moves on to her motherland of Greece for the actual celebration where Sappho shall sing her original inspirational Lyre’s that had been banned.

In Egypt the Priestesses of Isis, Wadjet, Nehkbet and Hathor Temples will all perform sensual unorthadox belly dances for the crowds, in the southern hemisphere Yamanja's and Coatlique Temples shall bring their best Shamanka's forth to make sure no scorcerers or co-horts of Pluto attend by creating a vortex around the magnetic portals of Earth connected to spirit world. The Middle Eastern Temples of Ishtar will also attend [side note: Ishtar has just indicted Solomon who remove her Symbolic Star, renamiing it the Star of David and under copyright laws of the Galactic Federation Solomon and David shall be brought to trail next fall.] And the Dark Mother of Afrika who 'never' makes appearences to humans shall hover above the crowds along with Nyx.

Eris will be in proper Ceremony attire to accept her temporary position as 'Queen of the Underworld' until Lilith and Ereshkigal and the hundred Dark Goddesses prepare for their reinstallation at the Gathering of the Dark Mother at the Winter Solstice. Eris will hold this position only as stand-in at the Sacred Temple of the 8th house of Commons of Birth, Sex, Death and Transformation of the Underwrold which had been closed for 2000 years. This event is in 2012 in Mexico City when the official Queen will be announced. Those media press announcements should be out in Nov. 2008 and you are all invited to attend.

The celebration for Eris/Heiress to the Throne of her Auntie Urania and her Uncle Uranus shall make the announcments of the coming of the Age of Aquarius celebrations as a special treat where Gaia shall open her Volcano's Pele, Etna, Mt. Rainer and a few other selected Volcano Goddesses. Eris who once admitted she was angry with her brother Ares, who was arested today by official martial artists law because he had served Pluto without remorse for his actions and his soul time to make amends was closing. He will be charged later this month for his misuses in war and refusal to speak truth [emotion] while protected under the President Zeus. The press box noticed the two of them talking in Libra’s judges chamber and we hope that these two may someday make peace after his term is completed.

Spiritual men known as the Taoists, the Hindu's, Sages, Indigenous Medicine Men, Druids and the Buddhist Priests shall all attend carrying the light of the sacred Cave, holding the Candles for the Goddesses Bridget, Kali, Nidra and Padma. The Nature Boys will be there preparing the food with the Maidens and many musicans, spiritual artists, seers, astrology teachers, yogi's both on and off planet with the enlightened men of earth will give their own special tributes as the Band: Pluto Queen of the Dwarfs performs.

Eris said her new release will be coming out in 2010 of what really happened at the Trojan war, and why the Kingdom kept pointing fingers at her and the media kept making a mockery that it was a silly contest about three goddess beauties. She shall reveal her long kept secrets all these years, so you won't want to miss out. It will be published without words by the distinguished University of Discordia Press and should be quite an interesting circle sharing under the full moon. She plans on bringing her sacred knowledge of the Golden Apples out once and for all ... so sharpen up those skills of telepathy and telekenetic imagery because thats the format in which she shall use.

As of 1/11/2007, R.A.W. is now dead. R.I.P., "Pope Bob"! At least before he passed, he got to see dearest Discordia finally get the heavenly respect and recognition she deserves. Perhaps now she'll stop fomenting trouble out of spite for being snubbed as a troublemaker... In that regard, I think she may specifically represent the "self-fulfilling prophecy" aspect of discord, i.e. the way that taking action to avoid something undesirable usually ~causes~ the very thing we wished to avoid.

Regarding the glyph for Eris, you're on the right track, but to be workable at miniscule sizes and more in keeping with the other planetary glyphs, IMHO it needs to be more evocative in a geometric and typographic way, rather than pictorial -- say, like this:<br>
