Eros into Sagittarius!

[Kim Falconer]

Hi Everyone,

I've been absent on the forum of late as many other tasks are pressing right now--I can offer a new page, however!

Eros into Sagittarius!

www.falconastrology.com/transits.htm

In this sign, Eros conjunct Pholus, Adonis, Jupiter, Lilith & Pluto! I’ve written something on the mythology and astrology of all these contacts and look forward to your feedback and comments here.

Happy New year!

Kim

Nice article Kim. I see you have similar views of Lilith as I. I'll share the link when I get my article published along with the rest of my updated site. About 10 pages successfully validated so far :-)) I will be doing my Eros return soon, when he reaches 9Sag so he will square Sun right after he separates from Adonis, move into the 5th, touch Orpheus as he squares Mercury. It aught to be interesting to experience his meeting Jupiter and Pluto in my 5th. My work comp trial is just before then. I just got notice that my attorney (Jupiter) left the firm so I'm being handed over to the one that was originally recommended to me but wasn't available that day.

What could Eros and the 5th have to do with a work injury and work comp? Hmmm. Well, Sag is law and maybe since he resides in my house of retirement or end of life, transiting through the 5th could be income to get me through that. I'm only 52 but have no retirement resources to speak of since my divorce. The ex was supposed to hand over some mutual funds but since he didn't I'd have to petition the court to force it then deal with my kids attitude I'm taking all their dad's money in one more area. And maybe his passage through here can open a door to bringing in a income from home doing what I love. That's really something to get excited about. Let it be so!!

Aquarianessence,

Thanks for you comments. I look forward to reading your piece on Lilith--and viewing your web site. Email me about a link exchange when you're up and running.

Your Eros return will have a Eros/Pholus conjunction it seems!

The 5th house is the 2nd from the 4th so you are spot on, 'income from home'.

I hope that works out just as you want it too!

Oh, and for those who wondered, I hadn't updated the constellation mythology on the page so it still read Scorpio! Yikes! I've fixed that quickly now but will come back with more detail if I can--this is the busiest time of year for me and every minute counts.

Warm wishes and if anyone ever sees typos or other such glitches on my pages (there are over 50 now) please sing out!!!

Reading your piece on Lilith 1181 Kim really hit home and brings to light a certain necessity of honoring Her right now as She is at 24 Sag in my natal so will be returning on 2/11. And thank you Aquarianessence for reminding one of Returns (I hope your suit pans out as I'm sure you deserve compensation for your injury! A new direction included)

It would be too tedious though (and possibly boring to the readers) to list all that's going on in my chart/s (Progressed included) with this Eros and the accompanying asteroids/conjunctions/placements but in a nut shell, she is asking again for a voice.

Your article Kim has given much food for thought about what has become conscious through the turns of events of one's life and what we can possibly do with that "consciousness". It feels very challenging at times since hurt and past memories of hurt can be involved. It takes courage to again trudge through the mire of emotional baggage we thought done of but it seems Lilith can't go unheard or unrecognized. So, looking at one's chart or Return for example (as reminded to do), brings hope that that is our purpose - to understand, as you state is so innate of Jupiter, and to bring transformation, as Eros would do with that understanding.

Thank you so much for that. I needed this today. To be reminded to not forget.

On a lighter note, Lilith is bringing her "gang" , coaxing my natal 6th to the first in the Return with not only Herself but Jupiter, Eros and Pluto. These are trine Return Saturn on the cusp of R. 9th opp. natal Chiron (in natal 9th).

Return POF is at 29 degrees Aq. with the Sun. These are conjunct natal Chiron and MC. Funny, I feel tired with life sometimes myself......Do I have it to give it one more "go around" to make a change or to elicit change in this world? I think Lilith tells us we should at least try. In Her name.....

Thanks, Kim. I already included you in my favorite links page but after reading this article I also had to link to your page in my Lilith page because you are the first one I seen that like me, can see the positive potential. Every other article I've read only demonizes here, sadly. I had had to change "no one" to "..except Kim Falconer" :-)

[tom]

great article, kim! thank you for sharing your insights. i suspect also that there's a great deal of overlap between the liliths. i work with/am working on a piece on the true BML, and after the research i've done on what others are saying, i'm heartened by your approach...again!

so i've never looked at where 1181 is in my chart...[pause], okay - there: 28 sagittarius, in the 3rd house. so the eros conjunction with pluto is happening on my 1181 - hmm. now that i've registered that pluto's been going over my 1181, i get something - i've been channeling info on the archetype of lilith since august, it just comes through. and if i don't open to & write what comes, i get opportunities to experience first-hand the energy...in ways that are less than comfortable. and a lot of clients since august have had really obvious BML stuff going on, and i've taken it as cues to open and learn more, to pay attention.

and speaking of her, i just looked up my girlfriend's: her 1181 is on our composite ascendant/south node! of course it is! my 1181 is on her natal descendant.

my natal BML is at 2 sag, with neptune at 4, mercury at 9 and moon at 11. jupiter's over the moon today, and i've made some decisions the last few days to realign myself with what's actually important to me (i don't want this day job, i don't want to own a car, etc.). so, eros coming over in a few days i'm sure will be interesting. i can feel building the surge of energy to get moving with some things - making a decision is just one part of things, after all.

[samina]

still reading/digesting kim's article on the eros transit/conjunctions, but holy cow... at the end of february i'll have eros, lilith, and pluto all conjunct and opposing my natal venus, and within one degree of a conjunction with my natal ceres, which tightly opposes my sun... it's like a wild domino effect...

at the same time, jupiter & adonis will both be conjunct my natal BML... with all this planetary activity in my 3rd house.

need to read more. this is all very interesting -- thanks for including all these conjunctions in your articles, kim!!!

[Kim Falconer]

There seems to be more than a few out there who are having their natal Lilith return in Sagittarius. With an orbit of 4. 36 years ( a little faster than Psyche at 5.0 years and 3 times slower than Eros at 1.76) this return may signify a cycle not yet described.

What is Lilith synchronizing with in terms of consciousness?

Certainly not, as Aquarianessense points out, a ‘demonization’ or possession of the psyche but perhaps a Daemon, a guiding spirit – one of those energies that ‘shows us doors where before there were only walls’! (Joseph Campbell)

Tom, let us know about that return…you’ll have T. Pluto conjunct natal Lilith in the 3rd all year it seems. I’m not surprised you’ve been moved to write about her.

Samina, I’m tres interested in what might coincided with your upcoming transits to Venus and Ceres. It is a domino effect….I think it will be a fertile time, literally or figuratively! I get images of growing things!

Thanks for you comments and feedback.

Warm wishes,
Kim

[blueorchids]

Kim., thanks for those very thoughtful pieces. I have gone there three times now to read. My experience with Eros in Sag is that it just seems to give me a little bit more guts to say, do and be things LOL. On Feb 14, Valentines Day stateside, Eros will conjunct both Jupiter and my ascendant! I should e rathe rfull of myself though it sounds like it will be helpful for my studio work..

[Kim Falconer]

Hi BlueOrchids,

Yes, I think Eros over Ju/Asc will give a blast to your work. (and don't forget he's way Out of Bounds! This makes the transit take on an 'extreme' quality.) www.falconastrology.com/oob.html

Here are some thoughts about Eros over the Asc.

Eros conjunct the Ascentant and through the First House

I am that I am. --Genesis

The transit of Eros through the first house begins as a conjunction with the ascendant, except when considering converse progressions where Eros will enter the first house backwards from the cups of the second. The initial entrance into this house, however, usually has a powerful impact, especially when it involves the Ascendant.

Triggering the Ascendant/Descendant axis can stimulate feelings of vitality and drive that encourage us to get out into the world and actively seek stimulation. Everything may seem a little brighter, prospects more hopeful and partners, or potential partners, more radiant. It is something akin to the feeling of spring fever.

Any transit passing through the first house colors our view or perspective of the world. The hue of Eros tends to be one of intensity, risk, desire and creative passion. This transit marks a time for experiencing life with the relish and enthusiasm of the god of love. There may be an intense excitement and the opportunity to understand the depths of the soul just a little bit better--a little bit deeper.

Sounds to me like your creative passion is going to take a leap forward!

Kim

[blueorchids]

Thanks Kim. Given all that is going on health wise that makes me very excited and happy! I can definitely feel it coming through as creative passion and work stuff. I finally got my Valentines cards into the shop last night and the owner said she loved them. Since my natal ascendant and House 1 is Sag 13 , aesculapia Sag 14 (!!!!) and my own Jupiter at 2 Capmaybe I wi ll get lucky and it will resonate as a one two bunch, first hitting the Ascendant, then slamming into Aesculapia moving onto my Juno at 24 Sag and winding into my own Jupiter in H1 at Cap 2.

I think I can literally vouch for the Eros-Pholus conjunction phenom that has been going on. Pholus is about "shifts"...sudden liftings (like Pandora's box lid as written in Kim's article:......

When Eros and Pholus conjunct, that sudden and unexpected event, inner or outer, may 'lift the lid' in the realm of the erotic. If energy has be stagnant, pinched off, and unexpressed, a new rush of wisdom, understanding and inspiration may be felt. Relationships may light up, begin (or end suddenly) and creative projects can be born anew. Those with personal planets or points in orb of 6 degrees of Sagittarius may feel this most acutely, gaining an awareness of where, in the past, something was 'sealed up' that now can flow free. In this way, Pholus and Eros may coincide with a charios, the 'right time' for inspired change.

This is very mundane but, I decided I would wear shoes at work instead of my stocking feet (with my job I can do that). I noticed I had been having a hard time walking in the morning and was attributing that to getting older (which is an idea I actually don't buy as it is...as a health worker it seems a convenient excuse of many that I've observed and what a shame we would give up!), but I was getting Planter Fascitis and didn't know it until someone I spoke to related the same symptoms and how she solved it. Wearing shoes was not one of the solutions she told me about but I was very concerned about my situation although after I wore shoes one day, presto, my feet didn't hurt the next day, nor my back while working.

This was a "realization" and how I knew to put on my shoes I can only say I was guided to.

I've noticed for about a week now there has been a shift and I feel so much better and have much more energy (like my "old" self ).

I wanted to know where in my chart I may find the signature for this and I think I found it with Eros and Pholus transiting the 6th conjunct to natal Jupiter (not both at exactly the same time but close...within four deg orb and sextile to natal Pholus...widely in 9th, but trans. Chiron ties in to natal Pholus and so they all are sort of touching each other... Trans. Chiron is conjunct natal Pholus 9th opp. natal Uranus in 3rd, trine trans Pholus in 6th with Eros right behind...both having just crossed over natal Jupiter in Sag. I have Pisces on the MC...so Jupiter, as a co-ruler and "feet" seem appropriate to what I do for a living).

Just wanted to share, as Eros' eroticism has gotten me to thinking I'd like to start working out again to feel sensual in my skin! The "shift" has truly been noticeable. So you just never know how Eros might show up or manifest and how for example "the lid" (Pholus) may be lifted to create the change...

[AquarianEssence]

Just thought I'd mention that Comet C/2006 E1 McNaught viewable now in the southern hemisphere was conjunct my natal Eros at birth. I'm sure this son of naught will not come to naught since he has formed a knot with him. This is too weird. I pressed space bar after typing naught and a whole line disappeared, then reappeared when I clicked with my mouse. Hmmm

Anyway, There are discrepancies in the ephemerides I've found for the current location, but here is the generator I'm using for my natal. cfa-www.harvard.edu/iau/MPEph/MPEph.html I think the current location is 4Aquarius and will reach the Aries point right around tax deadline. It's been conjunct my Psyche and is sextile natal Eros and McNaught.

Most have thought my Eros and I would come to naught but we've been together since Oct. of 98 and will celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary this May. Looks like we made it, as Shaniah would say. I've had a lot of Psyche energy going on lately. I guess this is why.

I think there is something weird with the quick reply box. Print kept dissappearing, changing size, pasting incorrectly. I finally pasted and continued in the long reply and now it's working, I think. I thought I'd entered the twilight zone.

[Aphrodite]

Oh dear. See, now I would have automatically translated McNaught as "Naughty Son", not "Son of Naught!" Of course, I can tell that you are not naughty but nice. And you made me smile. Thank you! Here's wishing you many more years with your Eros!

[Kim Falconer]

Flower, Thanks for your comments on the transit of Eros/Pholus. I do associate the Natal Jupiter connection with your revelation about feet! Where is Pisces in your chart? I wonder if Uranus is activating a midpoint there that would be relevant as well.

Aquarian Essence, thanks for the ephemeris link to McNaught. I saw it in the sky a few nights ago...brilliant!

Yes, he's in Aquarius now (approaching my Moon/Psyche)!
