Aspects
Eros Opposition Venus
Your longing for gentle affection and your craving for erotic charge sit across from each other, and the tension plays out in love. You may have tenderness without heat or heat without tenderness, splitting love and desire between different people or different moods. You meet partners who embody the sweet or the thrilling. The resolution is balance, not choice: let your warmth make passion intimate and your desire keep affection from going tepid, so love and eros inform each other rather than splitting, and a single bond can hold both the tenderness and the fire.
Lean in — Let warmth make passion intimate and desire keep love alive.
Watch for — Split tenderness and heat between different people or moods.
