EROS - #433

Okay, so this one has been talked to death about how it's the most sexual space in a chart, highly popular in synastry charts and natal alike, seen as overwhelmingly positive and even a soulmate asteroid -- I mean, technically I could see (and have seen) most of these play true in some fashion in the charts and people I've known in life so far.

But! Eros doesn't get credit for a lot of things. In a lot of older mythos, Eros was borne from Chaos (the void, pre-life on whatever) and predates the gods and goddesses of love and whatnot. This always struck me as more true than what he may or may not have been renamed as, but that will put me on a tangent even further about how ancient, pre-civilised societies dealt with their emotions and interactions and anyway -- )

So EROS in a chart, in what I've observed and experienced, can be seen as your personal connection to LIFE FORCE energy. Pure, unadulterated life force.

I think the Greco/Romans had it right when they depicted Eros as a young lad or toddler at times, in that when you observe smaller children (or even young teenagers) they seem to have an ENDLESS supply of energy. The ability to just do and do and do whatever it is they're doing, often to the point that it becomes a struggle to get them to NOT do, or to do something like go to bed on time, as a silly example.

In your own chart, look where Eros is stationed. What aspects does it make? Is it alone in a house? Does it conjunct a major player in your chart? Do you have an endless supply of energy to indulge in that space or energy? Is it blocked or difficult to manage by aspects from Saturn or Jupiter?

EROS aspecting the SUN - might have a serious case of self-control (or uh, lack there of) in regards to the ego. It could be an insatiable sense of self awareness, which can be truly enlightening, or darkly narcissistic. (That's a spectrum, btw).

EROS aspecting the MOON - Deep entrenchment of emotions, thriving on pleasing the emotional needs. Perhaps grew up having those needs met beautifully, or just born 'knowing' what you need and how to get it. Thriving on emotional expression, even just in your private space.

EROS aspecting MERCURY - Lover of the mind, endless thoughts and ideas, explorer of intellect and possibly an avid reader or someone who may be glued to technology for many, many hours of the day.

EROS aspecting VENUS - Lover of love! Or actually, lover of values. Your own, specifically. Having cultivated what you deem as a perfect balance of harmony for what you enjoy, dislike, how things should be aesthetically set up in your own life -- beware you can only control yourself, not what other's decide is good or bad here.

EROS aspecting MARS - Maybe a double whammy of life force? Passion out the whazoo, a dire need to express the energy within, to communicate in your own way and a love of doing so, a need for movement (or internal movement perhaps, if Mars is Rx).

EROS aspecting JUPITER - Lets talk about BIG LOVE! An innate knowing of how to vibe in your life force, to share and spread it around, consciously or unconsciously. Probably a bit lucky when you dip your toes in this pool of life.

EROS aspecting SATURN - RESPECT the life force! Possible blocks at times in life, especially early life, where expressing or tapping into your personal energy came with restrictions or challenges. Learning to FULLY utilize that energy with conscious choice and harmony, especially not letting others dictate how it's done or used.

EROS aspecting URANUS - Bolt from the Blue inspirations, off-beat energy source that may or may not come and go, may need unconventional outlets or just an insane amount of creative option that can go from destructive to mind boggling beautiful. Inventor of new ways to express your own energy, especially in ways that just didn't work for older generations.

EROS aspecting NEPTUNE - Energy found in dreams, belief in things (that you choose), aligned with the cosmic life force more so than individualised. Suggestions here to look into channelling collective energy or being very aware of when you need to draw on your own, can probably share life force the easiest (but also the most vulnerable with it- REALLY look for your own Saturn energy to know how to enact your own boundaries for these placements).

EROS aspecting PLUTO - Deep understanding of power, difference between being power-full and powerful, thriving on the intensity of life, intimately knowing your own personal power, or being completely afraid of and overwhelmed by it. Learn to explore it on your own more often than through others - can result in seemingly endless power dynamics with the world and others if not careful. Deeply moved and capable of great personal change.

EROS aspecting CHIRON - Extremely sensitive to energy overall (especially the sign it's in), thrives on the awareness, possibly lingers in pain and may pick at internal wounds without realising for too long, may take great pleasure in knowing how to heal those around them, or even in understanding their own psychology, may take pride in their scars.

EROS aspecting LILITH - Instinctive wild meets Instinctive Life. Listen to and trust your instincts - the more you follow your intuition, the more energy you're likely to uncover. Another placement likely for fear blocks, places where your essence of life may have been rejected or demonised. Shed any one else's opinion of your own life force- it is YOURS and that is impossibly beautiful.

EROS aspecting JUNO - Partnerships and sense of loyalty fuels your core, knowing how to mediate and bring harmony to your relational worlds. Do not forget yourself with these aspects, as your partnership and loyalty to yourself must come first and foremost.

EROS aspecting VESTA - Sacred energy, returning to self may bring ultimate recharge, deep respect for your life force and that of others, knowing it needs tended to from time to time, possibility of burnout is incredible here if neglected, but with regular care and attention to self if can be an endless supply. Respect yourself.

EROS aspecting PALLAS - Thrives on making things work, finding (knowing) the best way to make something more efficient or more easily understood, possibly leans into harmless manipulation of situations or said life force for the benefit of choice. NEEDS an outlet and lackadaisical energy/boredom can seem to drain the energy from you. Loves to be doing, planning, executing ideas in a tangible way. Learn from past mistakes above all before moving forward.

The only major aspect is a trine to Pallas (30 min orb). By declination though It's parallel Sun (just barely, maybe too wide for an asteroid) and contraparallel Saturn and Neptune.

The Eros-Pallas description above certainly hits home, 100%! Eros-Neptune and Eros-Saturn too, to a slightly lesser extent, and together they probably make for a decent balance. I definitely dare to dream and hope, but I'm not the sort that is easily taken advantage of. Sun I'm not sure about.

The Sabian feels apt too:
PHASE 106 (CANCER 16°): A MAN STUDYING A MANDALA IN FRONT OF HIM, WITH THE HELP OF A VERY ANCIENT BOOK.

quote:

---

This is the first stage of the twenty-second five-fold sequence. It reveals a deep effort on the part of the individualized consciousness to reach a solid basis of understanding that will allow it to perceive the structural relationship of every part of the personality to every other part. It is a mental process implying study and an inward-turning of the attention, CONCENTRATION; even more it is a symbol of what might at first be called CONFORMATION — that is, a profound and stabilizing sense of form, but of one's own individual form, not an external socio-cultural pattern.

Song by a Russian Composer ---------
- http://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Stravinsky,_Igor

(music) The 'Dove'* Descending (Igor Stravinsky, w music score/lyrics, SATB choir 1962) [2:28] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp2uhUERfOU

^ Is an avant-garde piece, written as 'atonal' music. Dissonance {i.e. sounds 'off key' if you're not familiar with those kinds of compositions}.
Hard for some people to hear.
Sang this as part of choir once.
Was really a thrilling piece to perform.

lyrics poem
by T.S. Eliot

“The dove descending breaks the air
With flame of incandescent terror
Of which the tongues declare
The one discharge from sin and error.

The only hope, or else despair
Lies in the choice of pyre or pyre-
To be redeemed from fire by fire.

Who then devised the torment? Love.
Love is the unfamiliar Name
Behind the hands that wove
The intolerable shirt of flame
Which human power cannot remove.

We only live, only suspire
Consumed by either fire or fire.”

Without stepping in too hard here, when I saw these placements, my immediate thought was that your mindset towards it may be what's blocking the Saturn from executing a beautifully designed and harmonious expression of self.

5th house is about creativity, true, but also about how we get into our own sense of self and how we love ourselves. Saturn in the 5th often ends up with someone who is either incredibly humble (or hard to accept a compliment, in some cases), but also someone who has really learned the ins and outs of what doesn't work for them.

But ohh, that square to Mercury ... in challenging contrast to the mindset. I often see Mercury square aspects being incredibly hard on themselves, and it breaks my heart! Especially Mercury square Saturn; such a need to be kind to yourself in your own mind.

I'm incredibly humble and too much critical on myself. My creativity totally suppressed.
Saturn and Eros in Libra. Mercury in Cancer 2nd House. My chart is full of hard aspects from which I failed to get out yet. You can check my chart from the bottom link. I have many other hard aspects too. Like Mercury Conjunct NN. Saturn Conjunct Mars. Mars Conjunct Pluto. Pluto Square Sun and more. May be other aspects blocking me too.

Love that! On the AC makes me think it's directly connected to your physical form- makes sense on impulsivity to act.

What's the Chart/AC ruler doing in your chart? Does that planet have a bit of a kick to it?

Pluto (in retrog) is wide trine Mercury, (0) trine with: Freia 76 (trance magick, like Eros love, lust, sex, death etc), Vilas 3507 (fairies), Undina 92 (Water elementals),
Rasa 11400 (essence, charm, bliss) maybe directed moreso by impulvive 'feelings' over head rationality?

I read your post like I had written it.

I too have Saturn in the 5th house Capricorn.

I too have issues expressing my creativity.

I too have a non-existent love life.

At the time of the lunar eclipse of June 5, Eros was in conjunction Uranus, I wrote two articles on this conjunction.
This conjunction at the time of the lunar eclipse was very strong.
Have you felt it? , Thank you for your answers.
