Adonis in the natal chart is said to indicate the person's idea of the perfect male.

In what sign and house is your Adonis? Is it true for you?

My Adonis is in 8H Libra. It forms a sextile with my 10H Sag Sun and Lucifer, a square with my 12H Cap Mars and Neptune, a sesquisquare with my 1H Pis Ceres, an opposition with my 2H Aries Vesta and Amor, a conjunction with my Pholus, a trine with my Aqua AC and a semisquare with my Sag MC.

I haven't found any detailed interpretation of Adonis, or any interpretations involving sign and house placements. Have you?

I would love to hear your thoughts on Adonis.

2101 Adonis - spell bound love, sexual magnetism, the desire to arouse, please and fulfill the beloved.

Adonis isn't about fulfilling your "ideal man". This asteroid functions the same way as its Female counterpart Aphrodite, you regard the person who aspects your natal Adonis as attractive/beautiful. As a result you may be more inclined to please them because your attracted to them and want to arouse the same attraction you feel for them. Asteroids like Adonis and Aphrodite don't guaranteed the type of person that is ideally for you or that there will be either Romantic or sexual attraction. Rather a admiration for their or your beauty depending on the aspects to certain planets.

My Adonis is scorpio 2nd house...
Do you think Adonis/Aphrodite conjunction in synastry or comp chart might indicate older woman younger man relationships?

My 2nd house scorp adonis doesnt really do a lot in my chart, it opposed my 8th house taurus hera and isis...it trines my 6th house pisces pallas, and is 7-8 degrees conjunct from my scorp NN but really, theres nothing major happening with him!

I can say i love dark brooding quiet guys that make you feel nervous just being in their presence...but i wouldnt marry one! I think they are fun to look at, flirt with and go home with someone less moody and jealous, never found scorpio to be a "Fun Guy"!

The association of Adonis/Aphrodite or Persephone relating to older women/younger male sounds plausible because both of the goddesses initially took a maternal role in Adonis's life. It could even indicate sort of "Mrs. Robinson" type relationships, a more experienced person taking another person under their wing and molding them into this perfected well traveled person. BUT I wouldn't necessarily associate Adonis when paired with Innanen/Astarte/Ishtar as the same relationship of its greek/roman counterpart. Adonis plays a different role in the Sumerian/Babylonian/Mesopotamian myths, Innanen resurrects Adonis much like Isis does for Osiris.

Adonis is in my 4th house, wide cnj IC, cnj Uranus, sextile Vertex (sextile cusp of 6th; trine cusp of 12th with Arabic Lot of Addiction, way too close to my Nessus-Thereus cnj for comfort~ maybe this is why I have such a love/hate sentiment toward overly-perfect looking men... 12th house issues... lol) @__@;

He shares his station with the star Antares and Baachus (and others).

He falls just after my Arabic Lot of Divorce. XD ~

I do seem to be weak to Sagittarius-Aquarius more than any other fellas... figures. ^^; husband (Sag sun-Aqua Mars)...

The opposite of him in my chart would be... Lancelot (Gemini), oddly enough. >.>;

Maybe Adonis represents the one who is gorgeous, slightly unattainable, or will secretly only cause us unnecessary drama (in the house he is placed). :/ ?


With Adonis in your 4th House, do you happen to idealise men who make you feel comfortable, cared for and cozy? Who "make your house a home"? I know this is usually said for women, but I believe it can be applied to men too. Do you like men who cook for you and/or do housework? (I know I do, though my 4H is empty, excluding Hygiea)

How can Adonis aspects be interpreted?

What does Lancelot symbolise?

So my idea of a gorgeous, unnatainable male is someone deadly, lethal and devilishly sexy with a strong libido (and a vampire)... Yep, you got it right. But thing is, that's not my ONLY idea of a gorgeous, unnatainable male. Eric Northman shares this place with Alan Rickman. And Severus Snape. Don't judge me :P

And that type of man will only cause drama... in my sex life? Eh, at least I'm versatile and like other types of men as well! (Cancer, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces)

So, in your opinion, Adonis doesn't matter in the natal chart as much as it does in a synastry chart? Well it makes sense, I guess.

I don't "do" Aphrodite. Aphrodite is nothing but the Hellenic name for Venus, which is why I consider Venus and Aphrodite to have the same traits. I think using Aphrodite is kind of pointless, and unnecessary when you only have 10 spots to fill in astrodienst.

Oh, but this is exactly the type I want to be with forever (marriage is **** to me, but I yearn for a life-long relationship)! Thing is, I want the dark, mysterious and dangerous man, I want that devil... To be an angel for me. He has to love me more than anything and treat me like the queen of his heart. I would never even approach a man who would see me as a another piece of ass (unless the feelings were mutual) and I wouldn't choose to be with a man who treated me like a prostitute (are we allowed to swear here?)

No that's not what I said. In order for you to discover how Adonis is significant for your chart you must figure it out. Looking at a couple aspects doesn't show other patterns when interacting with other asteroids. Nothing is pointless I.e. using multiple planets or asteroids with the same name, if your choosing to examine asteroids and planets. Amor, cupido and eros are the same deity but people choose to examine them all. Slow down look at the major aspects between Adonis and your natal planets and angles once you've grasped that, then add vesta or amor.

Actually, Eros and Cupido aren't the same. Eros is a primordial God, the son of Chaos. Cupido is the son of Venus and Ares (or in some versions Mercury).

I guess ive been with enough of those guys...and no matter how much they love you eventually their nature seeps over into the way they treat you....im just not into it, now! I used to desperately want and love it to...i probably should check where my adonis is in my 9th harmonic, since im 37...9th harmonic has kicked in, and its been only in the last 2 years my taste in guys has drastically changed!

heres the numbers for anyone wanting to check theirs! 2101,7088,1388,672,3497

What do think if you have Adonis/Ishtar in synastry...Aphrodite/Adonis in composite? Please look at this, if you would give an opinion....im skeptical of the relationship as something i should consider because hes so much younger!

Would this aspect between Adonis/Ishtar in synastry turning into Adonis/Aphrodite in composite indicate the nature of the relationship will change? Even though hes much younger we seem to have very similar passions!
Hes grown up with a family that owns a company that is the exact type of business i want to start.
I'm wondering if in the beginning he would be an equal...by being someone that helps me understand the ins and outs of starting this business....on the technical side! I think this is seen in synastry here?

Synastry
Me--
Ishtar scorp@18.37--my 2nd
Innanen virgo@19.58--my 2nd

Him--
Adonis scorp@19.32--his 9th

Also my NN is scorp@21, and his MC is scorp@21
We have his Isis taurus@17 conjunct my Isis taurus@16...sitting on the opposite side of this conjunct his taurus venus.

Im sensing that im actually much deeper and more aware regarding the spiritual side of this work even though hes grown up around this stuff....im sure my depth has come only through age and experience...even before i saw these aspects i was feeling after he would have taught me what i needed to get everything going, it would be my turn to teach him how to gain the spiritual depth? Do you see it like this, or would you interpret it differently?

Heres the Composite aspect--
Adonis scorp@17.20--12th
Juno scorp@17.55
Quaoar scopr@17.26
Aphrodite scorp@18.34
Astarte cancer 18.23--8th

What do you think?

I wish there was more info on these in the natal.

I have Adonis and Aphrodite conjunct Sun and Moon, and Trine the MC. They are in Leo with Sun, Moon and Venus. I am a man. Thoughts on these?

Adonis Conjunct Sun +5
Adonis Conjunct Moon +4
Adonis Trine MC +4
Aphrodite Conjunct Sun +2
Aphrodite Conjunct Moon +1
Aphrodite Trine MC exact
Adonis Conjunct Aphrodite +3

Uhhh good thread idea:

I have adonis in the 11th in scorpio conjunct saturn/dna exact and conjunct pluto in libra by 2 orbs. Pluto rules my 12th, Venus rules my 11th.

My adonis conjuncts my husband's eros by one orb and this squares my eros.

My adonis trines my aphrodite by 2 orbs. I have aphrodite in cancer at 0 degrees.
