Eros in Aries wants action, competition and victory! The more impossible the relationship, the more ardent he becomes. Risky creative projects bring out the fervor in him and passion awakens during challenge and adventure. He hates feeling trapped,dominated or smothered.

Eros in Taurus seeks the indulgences of sensuality, be they in the dinning room, on the artist’s canvas or in a king size bed. He finds joy in tangible pursuits that revolve around making the body, or the bank account, feel good. He longs for transformation yet paradoxically dislikes change and upheaval.

Eros in Gemini thrives on the communication of ideas and the intellectual stimulation found in sharing observations, data and little understood facts. Tricky, curious and zany,this Eros flits from peeks to valleys—from head to heart to soul. In art or relationship, he can use triangles to avoid claustrophobia.

Eros in Cancer experiences a certain measure of affinity and ease with erotic
transformation. Here the boundaries dissolve into a place of intimate rapport where emotions, fears and pains merge and mingle into one, in the studio or in the bedroom. There can be reluctance in the inevitable letting go.

Eros in Leo has a desire to feel extraordinary in an erotic union or project. The second of the fire signs, Eros here requires energy and returns it in playful abundance. He dazzles in the spotlight of admiration and gives priority to the creative, artistic side of life. Enter the drama and the theatrics!

Eros in Virgo has the propensity to analyze passion extensively before giving into them. There is an earthy, sensual quality to love and creativity, once the critical eye is closed.They relish the moment but do care what any bystanders might think. This makes the taboo uncomfortable and often inevitable.

Eros in Libra wants, above all, to participate with a significant other in many splendid activities. Eros here longs for beauty and refinement, yet grapples with intensity and closeness. Life needs to unfold pleasantly, but watch out for the Devil’s advocate if things get out of balance.

Eros in Scorpio has desires that are potent, fixed and involve a great deal of focus. He is interested in a deeply personal form of union and creative expression. There are few qualms about ripping off the surface scab of social superficiality to expose the true nature of one’s soul beneath.

Eros in Sagittarius is spontaneous, exuberant, adventurous and fickle. He prefers a lively experience with the beloved, one that will take him to the limitless reaches of the universe. Being with this Eros means being ready to soar. Travel is his watchword and that does not always mean physical!

Eros in Capricorn has powerful concepts about what is good and what is good enough.There is a need for competence and capability and an earthy sensuality that only unleashes after great time or deliberation. He looks for worldly results, until the mystic arrives. Then, the journey really begins.

Eros in Aquarius carries a high voltage charge with stimulating encounters that need a lot of air space to conduct electromagnetic charms. He desires the weird, the wonderful and the unusual, in the beloved or through the creative process. Fixed on autonomy, he may find intimacy brings shattering transformation.

Eros in Pisces wants to lose all sense of where he ends and the beloved begins. He desires a return to paradise, a drink from the Holy Grail and union with the divine. He is willing to give up everything to melt and merge until he is no longer distinct but part of a greater
whole.

Eros in Aspect to the Natal Planets

The madness of being in love clearly shows many characteristics of soul activity:
interference with plans and projects, long periods of time spent in daydream projection
of ideal fantasies confusion about personal goals and values, a weakening of willpower—all of these reveal an activation of the deeper strata of the soul.
--Thomas Moore

The aspects link the planets, points and angles together in the horoscope, creating
indivisible bonds. Some ties will be harmonious; others will seem antithetic. The vital point is that they are connected at all. By looking at the Eros aspects in the natal chart,deeper meanings emerge.

If Eros links to the Sun, then evoking passions and erotic love will ignite an awareness of the essential Self.

Contact with the Moon can link erotic love to comfort and nurturing

While Mercury may want to express passion through the written or spoken word.

Venus contacts may heighten the value of erotic love, combining it with charm and grace.

While a Mars aspect may use it as a weapon or defense.

Jupiter might dive into intimacy without hesitation.

Saturn may be reluctant to let down his guard.

A contact with Chiron may bring a deep insight through erotic love.

Uranus can mean sudden transformation or unexpected encounters.

Neptune aspects to Eros may search for divine union through the erotic, more or less constantly.

Pluto may tear down and rebuild the heart, over and over again.

Eros in the Houses

Any planet or sign in a house always suggests the most natural way to unfold the life plan in the area of life the house represents--.Howard Sasportas

Eros by house pinpoints where, on an inner or outer level, erotic love may awaken. It also describes a place where Eros may arrive, unannounced, to create, challenge and transform us.

Eros in the first House contributes towards the general approach to life. He may be part of the mask.

Eros in the second house values erotic union as a resource. It’s like a second skin.

When Eros resides in the third house, communication and familiar environments
can hold a passionate experience of love and creative expression.

When Eros is found in the fourth house, the erotic links closely together with experiences of home and family. It resides in the roots of the being.

Eros in the fifth house can appear through self-expression—offspring, art work, performances, novels. There is a drive for distinction.

Eros in the sixth may have some finely tuned proficiency when it comes to passion, art and erotic love! It can manifest in the day to day living.

Eros in the seventh can turn socially significant relationships into erotic unions. The paradox between commitment and transformation abounds.

Eros in the eighth house has an increased desire to experience the erotic on a risky, often taboo level. Throw out the rules and enter the depths!

With Eros in the ninth house, discovery of new and previously incomprehensible concepts, peoples or vistas ignite feelings of passionate wonder and intrigue. There could be foreign affairs.

Those with Eros in the tenth house want the world to know they are passionate, erotic,potent and charismatic. It may be part of the career.

When Eros is found in the eleventh house, friendships, groups and goals take on creative and amorous qualities.

A twelfth house Eros may awaken through injury, suffering or confinement. The case of the doctor and patient, or even bereaved brother and widow come to mind. Creative expression comes from the depths of the collective. ... "

PSYCHE (#16): Psyche means Soul in Greek. It's a peek into your Soul secrets! Psyche represents a refined love, an urge to develop psychic bonds with another. There is a longing and searching quality in Psyche that vacillates between determined progress and hopeless surrender. Both extreme states seem requisite to the process of Psyche’s quest. She knows what she wants, searches for it selflessly, then finds herself faced with a seemingly impossible task. She may give up, at this point, in despair, only to find that by surrendering, support appears as if by magic.(Kim Falconer)

yeah, when you hitch those aspects to a venus/mars trine it really is like nothing before. I think Eros is quite mellow with a pinch of 'knowing' when connected to psyche and venus.
