"By studying the placements of Eros by sign, we can better integrate the diverse needs and drives of this body. In an archetypal sense, the signs have a distinct way of relating to both inner and outer experiences and acknowledging those distinctions is a step towards becoming more complete."

My Eros is in Aries, conjunct Mars, and the interpretation is pretty accurate.

Eros in Aries
Eros' forms are many and sometimes terrible, and in full strength he comes to us winged and gleaming and muscled like an athlete, with a fury and will that overpower our own and drive us before him as would a storm. --Peter Marin

Eros in Aries says, "Play with me, right here and right now!" In this sign, Eros wants action, competition, confrontation and of course, he wants to win! Eros in Aries can make a game of love complete with points to score and visiting teams to defeat! The more impossible the relationship, the more ardent he becomes.

As the first of the FIRE signs, he spends and consumes tremendous amounts of energy in the pursuit and capture of his quarry. All this fiery rabidity makes Eros in Aries a very active and perpetually busy lover. Eros here, whether in the chart of a male or female, can exhibit traditional romantic behavior not unlike a knight of old. He is robust, gallant and ever dashing off to slay dragons or rescue damsels, or helpless men, in distress.

Here are the rest of the signs and houses:

I've often noticed this.. I attract them being an Aries Sun and I notice them being extra Aries-like - even if it's just Venus or just Mercury - or whatever..

My explanation is that Aries is a highly masculine sign.. and perhaps men relate to these placements more. Or maybe they want these placements to *show* and be -out there- to get female attention.

But - it is interesting that your Eros is in Aries.. Maybe it has more of an impact because it is conjunct your Venus.

I can relate to some things...

Eros in Aquarius says, "surprise me, shock me, amazement me!" This position of Eros carries a high voltage charge with stimulating encounters that need a lot of air space to conduct electromagnetic charms. Eros in Aquarius desires the weird, the wonderful and the unusual. He thrives on the unexpected and luxuriates in situations that make the more traditional signs squirm with embarrassment.

Eros in the sign of the Water Bearer has a disposition bordering on the bizarre. He crosses boundaries as if they did not exist and skips the lines of gender and protocol like a child playing hop-scotch.
(True! I was unimpressed with their constant use of "he" in these interpretations).

If it is unusual and invigorating, he is probably interested.

HE - again!!!! ^^^
Hello - women exist also..

The third of the AIR signs, Eros in Aquarius gets bored with routine and needs intriguing conversation and somewhat unconventional themes to keep his interest aroused. He also needs a lot of freedom.

"thrives on the interaction of ideas, and the intellectual stimulation found in sharing observations, data and little understood facts."

"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."

I had a therapist say years ago my problem was that i intellectualised my emotions lol. I love my books and whenever I'm upset i just start reading through them for hours. I'm a big nerd at heart. And nothing turns me on more than when there's a hot intellectual debate going on and the energies are just flying lol i do get stimulated with sexual energy. Weird.

libido's average.. ._.
whateva i've done is with clothes on. once i lose my virginity, i won't mind hving 1 night stands(if em single & starving). it takes time to work me up & em always unsure if em horny/not...
i find the deed really funny. shagging frm behind makes me numb while group x fascinates me...
i talk/do bullsh*t out of nervousness...the 1st time i got intimate, i was like "u're my brother!!!"& laughed throughout. nyplace is fine - right now it's pubs.
the idea of being dominated appeals 2 me. role play looks childish & disgustng. aggressive men r prefered who won't take a "no" for an answer.
i enjoy being tightly squeezed against a man's "bald" chest with his asset rubbing mine & need loads of wet kisses . i luv being nuzzled & nibbled too.... >...

It's this very electric connection...I think they do call it "electric sex". Where we just transcend and see the "thousand petal lotus", as they say.

Either house description sort of fit. I thought the 10th house description was a bit more apt.

I think sex is the most important part of a relationship but i dont experiment with other partners and prefer to sleep with 1 person forever than have to change to other partners.

MY 5th house ruler is cap too.

Eros in Taurus says "Hold me, touch me, kiss me, take me." Here Eros has little interest in the aggressive ardency of Aries. Taurus is not responsive to getting up at 6 a.m. to do fifty laps at the pool and he would rather not have to compete with anyone to get what he wants. Eros has a different orientation in this sign, namely, an orientation towards pleasure. That means pure and natural, undiluted personal and sensual gratification.

This pleasure-seeking eye of the bull is ever on the niceties of sensuality whether they be in the dinning room, on the massage table or in a king size bed. He finds joy in tangible pursuits that revolve around making the body feel good as well as the pleasure of acquisition. Taurus can also become ferociously possessive of those pleasures in an extremely dogmatic way.

LOL I thought the part where it says "he would rather not have to compete with anyone to get what he wants" was a trait of my venus in leo.

I feel a LOT of Scorpio energy in my sexuality, too. My Venus is there, as well as my Pluto and ASC..both my Pluto and Venus conjuncting my ASC in the first house. The Scorpio energy I feel makes the sex act intense, strong emotions involved, power play and anything taboo.

Again, it's hard to pinpoint just one factor as I believe it's a boiling pot of all these things.

However, one of my ex's has both Venus and Mars in Aquarius but his Eros in Pisces. His sexual style was DEFINITELY Piscean...though his emotional nature and attitude about what sex should be were definitely Aquarian (detached..ugh!!)

My current boyfriend has Mars in Libra and Eros in Scorpio (conjunct his Venus in Scorp). While he's cheesy romantic (Libra talking!) when he's getting physical he is aggressive, squeezes me tight, focused on me, almost smothering but in the sexiest way

To me that's enough. Not that I ever thought about finding my shagging style in my chart, sex isn't that important to me. I enjoy it, no doubt but it doesn't rule my life like it does most people.

And to think I'm a Scorpio sun!

Not sure where the influence comes from, but for him sex is important. Good thing I don't mind having it

Since he thinks sex is important, I'm more tempted towards saying that Eros is the greater influence, because it is in his 1st house, and I of all people, with 4 planets there myself, should know how a 1st house influences you constantly.

But then again, his mars is in the 8th house... Hmm, tough call.
