Eros in the 3rd House
With Eros in the third house, the erotic life-force concentrates in the mind and communication, so desire is kindled by conversation, wit, and the exchange of ideas, and you may flirt and connect through words. The gift is a lively, communicative passion. The shadow is desire that stays cerebral or restless. The growth is letting the spark move from words into the body. At your best your passion is curious, articulate, and electric with talk.
Lean in — Let the verbal spark move from the mind into the body.
Watch for — Keep passion in clever talk to avoid real involvement.
