Positions
Eros in Capricorn
With Eros in Capricorn, passion is controlled, serious, and slow to kindle but enduring: you are aroused by mastery, restraint, and the deepening trust that comes over time, and your desire wants something real and lasting. The gift is a committed, smoldering, durable eros. The shadow is passion held back by fear of vulnerability, or desire tangled with status. The growth is letting yourself be undone past the control. At your best your desire is deep, earned, and built to last.
Lean in — Let yourself be undone in passion past your usual control.
Watch for — Hold desire back behind restraint until it goes cold.
