I am just not finding out more about Eros, all I know is that is has something to do with ones sexuality, but I do not know much about aspects to Eros. I have Saturn conjunct Eros (in the 5th house of Scorpio.)

I have "googled" this, but not many results have come up, if anyone has an info, feel free to reply and tell me what sign and aspects you have!

Eros in Scorpio
Come to me, and I shall be the sun round which you are locked in orbit,
and my rays shall lay bare the secrets you keep from each other, and I,
who possess charms and powers of which you have no inkling, shall
control and possess and destroy you!"
-- Anne Rice The Vampire Arman
Eros in Scorpio says, "merge with me in the searing furnace of the souls so that together we may be transformed." Eros in Scorpio speaks bluntly. His desires are potent, ardent and fixed and often involve a great deal of intense intimacy that can make the light-hearted falter. Eros in this sign is interested in a very personal and erotic form of relating that has no qualms about ripping off the surface scab of social superficiality to expose the true nature of ones soul beneath. They generally do not hold back.
Eros here seeks, often through intense and possibly taboo sexual experiences, the gift of merging, union and transformation. This is the break on through to the other side that Jim Morrison echoed. He invites you to the threshold and if you enter, there is no turning back. You will transform or perish, or both.
Eros here may be in the sign of his greatest affinity. The second WATER sign, Scorpio relates well to the powerful hungers exhibited by Eros and there is little to modify or temper. Scorpio is not afraid to get too close. He does not shun intimacy, physical or otherwise. He is not nervous about bodily functions, losing his freedom, sharing his emotions or surrendering his mind. He just plain is not nervous or afraid of much, except maybe losing control.

Eros in the Fifth House
and those who devote themselves to music and letters and to the various contests, some by exhibiting their strength and others their artistic skill, win for themselves greater honour.
--Isocrates

The fifth house is the traditional residence of entertainment. It encompasses the playful heart, the creative spirit and romantic pleasures. It is the house of the inner child and the outer speculator, the actual children and the latent rock star in everyone.
The fifth house has to do with self-expression and that includes offspring, artwork, novels, and romances because they all activate the heart and engender feelings of uniqueness that makes us feel special. That is, when everything is going smoothly. These areas of life also put us in a place of utmost vulnerability not just to the art critic and the gene pool but to those experiencing the inner child. The fifth house rules speculation because we risk the child-like and creative qualities in the harsh reality of potential judgement and condemnation. There is no guarantee how we will measure up.

Sometimes Saturn in Scorpio can be a bit of a killjoy. I think my Mom had that and it creates it own challenges.

Saturn: If Saturn is lord of the 5th or in the 5th, in sect, and dignified or received, then this is one of the better indicators of being in control of one's finances and for making sound investments. This isn't the best placement for Saturn though, because fun just isn't in Saturn's vocabulary, neither is speculation or gambling, so any risk taking is likely to bring negative consequences. Even with the best expression of Saturn, spontaneity is likely to be a problem. Saturn functions best here by being very conservative in these matters. You are also likely to run into unreasonable opposition from others who do not want you to show your talents, especially if you are gifted in the arts. If you have children, they are likely to be very serious in temperament, or few in number, possibly an only child. It is also possible that it is an indication that the first born is destined to greatness. However, if Saturn is out of sect, then see if the sign governing this place is a water sign. If so there may be children with the help of science, if you so desire, but there is naturally a tendency toward barrenness. If Saturn is also afflicted while out of sect, all of the above tends to take a turn for the worse. The key to overcoming these difficulties lies in being conscious; overcoming any agnoia of what you produce and its effects upon others.

The principle of agnoia combines with the great unknown here. This has the effect of deepening any mysteries that may exist in the natives life. Related to this, they sometimes have a very morbid side or an obsession with death or the occult. Some say that this position creates sexual inhibition or perversion but Schmidt says that association happened because the French called sex "Le petit mort" meaning "the little death". Some have serious issues with lack of security or having to deal with an unsafe environment. As a result, they tend to be gravely serious in temperment and sometimes lack a sense of humour. They often feel like they have been made a scape goat, suffering because of the actions of others, frequently having to correct their mistakes. This is because of the aversion Saturn's ruler has to its primary house. This sometimes puts them in the awkward situation of having to take responsibility for something without having the authority. They take responsibility very seriously and work extremely hard to achieve their ambitions. They pursue their work and ambitions with great intensity and can be relentless and persevering in the face of difficulties. Their ability to achieve the seemingly impossible comes from their agnoia (not knowing) of how to quit.

In a diurnal chart, the heat of the day counteracts Saturn's excessively cold nature. There is less uncertainty (agnoia) about ambitions and goals. There is greater moderation in routine and greater clarity in issues of authority and responsibility. This is due to the fire of the day rarifying opportunities for breakdown in command structures. As a result, these natives tend to achieve above average success in corporate positions.

In a nocturnal chart, the cool and moist of night magnify the agnoia of Saturn. Because the native tends to lack clear boundaries for responsibilities, they may either tend to take all responsibility or none at all. In the former case they have a tendency to overwork themselves. If the chart is eminent, they achieve great success. If not, they achieve censure for overstepping their bounds while another takes the credit. In the latter case, they may become outcasts, vagabonds or homeless developing an acute hatred for aristocracy.

Where can one find out where Eros etc. are in their chart? I've looked on astro.com and didn't see it! I have also been wanting to confirm where my Lilith is and can't seem to find a site that'll show these. I see Lilith listed as a choice on astro, but it dosen't seem to list it?! Anyone else notice this or am I just missing it??

At the bottom in the Extended charts section, there is a blank box below the pre-listed asteroids where you may enter additional asteroid numbers.

The asteroid number for Eros is: 433

For fun, the feminine asteroid version of Eros is Erato: 62

Hope this helps you!

This is facinating. I never knew this but it is 100% accurate for me. It's very similar to my 3rd house Virgo moon/venus. Verbal/written COMMUNICATION is key~


Eros in Gemini
…and the most beautiful words ever spoken, I have not yet said to you.
--Nazim Hikmet

Eros in Gemini says, "If you want me, talk to me!" Here Eros thrives on the interaction of ideas, and the intellectual stimulation found in sharing observations, data and little understood facts. He likes it known how well he comprehends a subject and how much he could teach about it. Eros in Gemini wants to hear the words, or receive little cards with messages of love, much more than he wants to get a box of chocolates or even a massage!
Gemini governs the realm of the mind, the known universe, its facts and fancies. When Eros dresses in this outfit, he seeks intimacy first through intellectual rapport and that usually means talking. The mere act of communication can stimulate this position of Eros into desires for deeper intimacy and union, provided one listens to the discourse. The beloved’s inattention to detail or loss of concentration on the subject kills a genuine pursuit faster here than in any other sign.
Curiosity about how things work, why people behave in a certain way, or where some tradition began all contribute to the stimulating mental atmosphere where Eros in Gemini likes to live. He uses knowledge as a lure, his mind as bait and his wit as reward. He also uses these intellectual instruments as a bastion against the pain and suffering of the emotional world.
The first of the AIR signs, Eros in Gemini has a sense of mental objectivity and a distinct need for space. Although drawn irrefutably to the depths of intimacy by the nature of Eros itself, in this sign he may at times do more talking or reading about emotional closeness than going out and experiencing it.

Oh thanks! I have Eros in Leo in the 3rd house...
quote:
Eros in Leo
Call me a she-lion, then, if you like and Scylla, dweller on the Tuscan cliff. For I have touched your heart in the vital spot.
--Euripides

I liked this quote!

The following is so true:

quote:
Eros in this position has a strong desire to feel special, unique and distinctive.

My feelings get so hurt sometimes if i'm not feelin special It is strange when my feelings get hurt since i'm mostly air... I need to learn how to cope!

Eros in the 3rd. Here's my fav line from that:

quote:
When Eros resides in the third house, communication itself can become an erotic experience. The written and expressed word, the transmission of information and the act of learning or teaching may all create an experience of erotic transformation for those involved.

Very interesting to know! Eros is about 7* away from my Saturn. Only Saturn is in the 2nd and Eros in the 3rd. Not sure what it means, just something I noticed!

Umm.....this is very interesting.... I have Eros in Scorpio conjunct Jupiter in Scorp in the 2nd house. Both trine my Mars in Pisces in the 6th house. (and oppose my natal Saturn in Taurus in the 8th)

I am all about merging with the right person and find that I can be overwhelming if I let my sexuality get out of hand. There are also times when, like the second house explanation, my inborn sexuality comes out at the wrong times. I end up sending signals to the wrong person LOL..

Come to me, and I shall be the sun round which you are locked in orbit,
and my rays shall lay bare the secrets you keep from each other, and I,
who possess charms and powers of which you have no inkling, shall
control and possess and destroy you!"

Eros in the Second
May I ask whether you inherited most of your possessions or acquired them yourself?
--Plato

The second house traditionally rules money, values, resources and innate capabilities. It has a lot to do with valuing our self as a unique individual and can give indications of tangible longings, desires and aspirations.
People with Eros in the second house may value the erotic union as a resource or reserve. An erotic manner may reside with them comfortably like an inborn perception of what they are worth, what they deem estimable. This may actualise as a subtle undertone in some, or a brash and even overbearing urgency in others.
