Aspects
Eros Opposition Mars
Your urge to act and assert and your erotic life-force sit across from each other, and the friction often comes through others, the aggressive and the alluring who pull the two ways out of you. You may act without passion or be paralyzed by it, charge ahead and lose the charge, or chase desire as conquest and feel empty after. The resolution is balance, not choice: let your drive give your passion direction and your desire give your drive its fire, so action and eros face each other and combine into potent, alive, well-aimed pursuit rather than canceling out.
Lean in — Let drive aim the passion and passion give the drive its fire.
Watch for — Pursue desire as conquest and feel empty when you win.
