I looked at her chart
her Sun is progressed in 5'28 Aries

her natal Eris is in 7'30 Aries.

if Pluto is viewed as a planet in Astrology, then why not Eris? After all, it's larger than Pluto.

if aspects to Pluto are very significant, then it makes sense for aspect to Eris to be just as significant.

so that within 1 year, Oprah's progressed Sun will be in opposition to her natal Eris if using 1 degree orb for secondary progression. 6 months after the secondary progression starts, her Solar Arc Sun will be in opposition to her natal Eris. The Solar Arc is based on the progression of the Sun.

so its possible that Oprah's progressed Sun may not actually be unaspected for long if Eris is considered

furthermore,
her progressed Ceres is 6'55 Libra retrograde

so the progressed Sun is moving towards an opposition to it.

Ceres is classed as dwarf planet like both Ceres and Pluto. It's no mere little asteroid. At 950 km in diameter,no other asteroid comes close to its size. That's why it was made a dwarf planet along with Pluto and Eris.

It really depends on what objects that an astrologer use to determine if the Sun is really unaspected or not.

Eris not an asteroid,and it's classed as a dwarf planet.
it's a transneptunian object
if Eris an asteroid, then Pluto is one too.
After all Eris larger than Pluto.

transneptunians are minor planets in the outer regions of the solar system. Pluto is actually a member of the kuiper belt object.
The discovery of the kuiper belt was discovered when 1992 QB1 was found, and that proved that Pluto wasn't alone in the outer regions of the solar system. Now it turns out that it has thousands of neighbors. His mass,size doesn't even come close to clearing out the orbit of the kuiper belt region. That's why it was stripped of its planethood.

Ceres is an asteroid, but is also classed as a dwarf planet. It's the only asteroid that is classed as a dwarf planet. It's an atypical asteroid for that matter with its roundness,size,and its significant amounts of water ice. There is some suspicion that it has connections to the Kuiper Belt which is the transneptunian minor planet belt that Pluto belongs to.

asteroids are minor planets in the inner regions of the solar system. most of them orbit between Mars and Jupiter. Ceres orbits between Mars and Jupiter.

like Pluto, Ceres was also classed as a planet in the 1800's and then it was stripped of its planetary status when it was found to be a new class of objects.

so it could be argued if Pluto is a planet, then so is Ceres.

btw Pluto's actual size wasn't determined until the discovery of its moon,Charon in 1978. Before that, Pluto was thought to be as big as our Earth. That's one of the reasons why Pluto was thought to be a planet. It was also found when it was on the ecliptic too. Pluto tends to travel far off the ecliptic like no planet has ever done. It can go off the ecliptic by 17 degrees and enter other constellations that are not on the ecliptic.

Ceres was also thought to be much larger when it was classed as a planet.

The only reason Pluto is so recognized as a planet is because it was discovered between the early and mid 1900's and was classed as a planet for 70 years. Ceres was discovered before Neptune was discovered too. It was classed as a planet for 50 years.
