Asteroid Eros in Astrology
Eros, also known as Cupid, is a powerful god in Greek mythology. He is revered as the god of erotic love and sex, embodying the principles of desire, vitality, and passion.
In astrology, Eros is considered a higher octave of Mars. According to Asteroid Goddesses, Eros was able to channel and transform his unconscious sexual drive into erotic love, using it as a pathway to spiritual enlightenment through his romantic connection with Psyche.
However, Eros’ influence extends beyond the realm of relationships. He also represents what ignites your sexual attraction, preferences, and the source of your primal energy and desire in the birth chart.
For some people, having a strongly placed Eros in their chart might mean they really value that spark of physical chemistry and sexual passion in a partnership. The physical side of love and that romantic “falling” feeling could be very important to them.
On the flip side, if this asteroid is weaker in someone’s chart, physical attraction may not be the driving force behind who they fall for. For these individuals, deeper emotional bonds or shared interests could be more central to how they form attachments.
