Positions
Eros in Virgo
With Eros in Virgo, passion is expressed through attention and care: you are aroused by competence, by being truly attended to, and by the intimacy of small, devoted acts, and your desire wants to serve and perfect. The gift is a refined, attentive, deeply devoted eros. The shadow is a critical edge that cools passion, or shyness about desire. The growth is letting yourself be imperfect and abandoned in passion. At your best your desire is devoted, precise, and quietly intense.
Lean in — Let yourself be imperfect and fully abandoned in passion.
Watch for — Let a critical eye cool the very desire you long for.
