Positions
Eros in Aries
With Eros in Aries, passion runs hot, direct, and immediate: you are aroused by the spark, the pursuit, and the thrill of the new, and your desire wants to act, not wait. The gift is a vital, courageous eros that goes after what it wants. The shadow is passion that burns out once the chase is won, or desire that runs to conquest. The growth is letting passion deepen past the spark. At your best your desire is alive, honest, and brave.
Lean in — Let your passion deepen past the first thrill of the chase.
Watch for — Lose all interest the moment the pursuit is won.
