Eros
Eros, the asteroid named for the Greek god of erotic love, is read as the principle of passionate desire: sexual magnetism, the charge of attraction, and the creative life-force behind wanting itself. It shows not only what draws you erotically but where a vivid, almost compulsive aliveness enters the life, since desire and creativity spring from the same root. Read Eros by house and aspect to see where passion is kindled, what you find irresistible, and where longing can either vitalize you or run toward obsession.
Lean in — Let Eros show you what genuinely enlivens and attracts you.
Watch for — Mistake every strong charge of desire for love or for truth.
