Eros trine Asc and Eros conjunct Dsc

Hello Heart-Shaped Cross,

Let's start with one aspect first--Eros to angels in synastry.

(I'm just too short on time right now for unravelling lists of placements. They mean very different things (comp and synastry, angles, moon etc). If you want a run down on every Eros contact you have, consider getting an Eros Relationship Report.

Who has Eros to the angles by synastry that can comment here?

I'll get back to this query soon.

It's okay, and I love the enthusiasm of questions, especially about Eros...I'm just a bit overworked ATM!

Here is an excerpt from my Eros manuscript on Eros in synastry to the angles:

Tell me how you think this fits!

Eros in Synastry Aspect with the Angles

Eros here, if the birth times are accurate, presents its significance in awareness and sensation on a very personal level. Eros seldom hides in this position and both people involved are likely to be pleasurable or painfully aware of each other in an erotic sense. Pleasurable while they pursue an intimate or creative relationship, painful if the taboos or circumstances make it difficult to acknowledge each other in that way.

Proximity or contact with each other can touch off a sense of self-awareness as well as sensitivity to the other creating a powerful impact on the couple. Any synastry aspect to the Ascendant effects attraction, especially the conjunction, and when this planet is Eros, it can feel like magic. When it happens between parent and child, grandparent and grandchild, husband and sister-in-law or teacher and student, it feels sometimes ambivalent and sometimes like a wicked curse. In this case, creative ingenuity is required.

The two may find artistic ways of expressing their passion for each other through a common theme, or they may not. If the later is the case, and the association ongoing, the situation can become quite uncomfortable.

Parent/offspring relationships with this contact, especially the MC and IC conjunctions, can be fraught with sexual undertones and intense passions. Without objectivity, this synastry aspect can wreck havoc on an unsuspecting family. Weather these powerful feelings can be channeled into creative projects or not, the first step is to acknowledge the conflicting emotions involved without blame or guilt. Sometimes the recognition of such an aspect alone can trigger very useful dialog in a counseling or therapeutic situation.

The contact with the Ascendant/descendant axis seems to favor the creative outlet approach to relating, especially when sexual intimacy is extremely taboo or impossible. They may unite their ideas and collaborate in an artistic, therapeutic or literary sense making potent contributions in their field of creativity. They may also, if greater physical intimacy is explored, find the depths of sexual union the medium of their exploration. These contacts hold true for Eros conjunct or opposite the Ascendant, Descendant, MC and IC rulers as well.

Eros in the Synastry Seventh

Love is unconditional. . . Relationships are not. --Grant Gudmundson

Eros in the seventh house of a synastry comparison can indicate a deep and prevailing desire to merge and unite with the Eros person in a committed and long term sense. Right away, for Eros, this spells trouble. The first thing a stimulated seventh house wants is a witnessed signature on the dotted line. The last thing Eros wants is the same.

Eros thrives on the unpredictable, spontaneous and potent expression of love’s ability to consume the souls and transform them into something they never dreamed possible. Landing in the seventh house suggests this is to take place under a contract of marriage or business partnership, neither of which is conventionally suited to the job of erotic transformation. Eros does work that way, just not very often.

The person whose seventh house is being touched may feel a desire for engagement and a willingness to take on board the responsibility of a long term relationship. This may or may not be what the Eros person wanted to awaken!
The feelings of familiarity and desire for closeness are there, although the nagging design for commitment and promise can make the Eros person shy away.

Only when the mysterious, unpredictable and erotic nature of the god of love is free and unhindered by prescribed arrangements can he function in a long-term commitment. The success or defeat of such a union will depend on the ability of the couple to avoid the trap of tying Eros down or confining him to the known and familiar. Certainly, the erotic will awaken, and the person touched can be acutely aware of the other’s passionate and sensual nature. Finding creative ways to mix the erotic with the committed is the ongoing objective for both of them.
