natal eros - aqua/5th house

[tom]

hi pals,
i've felt like there's an answer that working with eros can offer me, and then saw that the transiting north node is close to hitting it. but then noticed that solar arc north node is about to hit it, too.

the transiting node i usually work with as offering a solution out of the apparent quagmire the transiting south node seems to describe, but the solar arc node i don't know what to do with.

this eros is always implicated in some way in any honest behavior from me, in a grand trine with saturn in gem/9th and mars-uranus in libra/1st. and ruled by the uranus in the 1st as well - whatever creative thing i do, it tends to be received with many more blank stares than anything else. i'm working consciously to get over my reactions to that, and can't help but feel like when i do, and i really run that eros-uranus energy, i'll be taken to be from another planet even more than at present.

any thoughts-tips-hints on working with this eros?

Hello Tom,

Implicated by Eros ? Interesting to hear this statement. Why and how the erotic nature of Eros is manifested in negative sense. Obviously Mars, Uranus combined energy is overtaking the issue. Its that people react aggressively when not comfortable with us. In your case 7th house lord is Mars and Uranus the 5th.

Nodes are known to throw us in situations demanding compulsory attention, Karmic by nature. With NorthNode it is 'generally' good and future oriented in some sense that not necessarily what we intend at the moment. By then one should have a nodal connectivity in natal chart.

I haven't as yet prepared your chart. It would be very helpful to analyze if details of the situation is known.

with Love and Peace
Kris

Hi Tom
just picked up this thread. What amazing transits to your natal Eros - Neptune, and Chiron approaching a conjunction. And Eros is transiting your natal 7th house Chiron in Aries, which struck me straight away. So there's a double dose of Chiron/Eros there. Healing through Eros creativity? Just a thought! I'm fairly new to the forum, so forgive me just pitching in with a few thoughts!

Aquarius to me is like an aerial photographer - it sees patterns others don't see, which is why I think it unnerves people. Hence the blank stares! But is that really a problem? Only for those who don't want to be shaken out of their comfortable boxes! It does us all good to be exposed to what is unusual to us and to be presented with art, with viewpoints, with opinions, that make us think in a different way and which, on occasions, can make us feel unnerved or unsafe. Without those brave enough to push out boundaries, usually those with lots of Aquarius! we'd never discover anything new.

I have Aquarius on my midheaven, with Saturn closely conjunct, and I'm more and more conscious of a battle between sticking to the tried, tested and safe (Saturn) and wanting to aspire to something very different that will make others sit up and think. I'm more and more wanting to break out of being safe and predictable, because I realise I've been doing it to make others feel safe. (Typically Cancerian!)

What I see in your chart - aside from that grand air trine involving Eros, Saturn, Uranus & Mars which gives Eros incredible energy - is an adventurous, risk-taking Sagittarius moon - trine Chiron, and an uncompromising Scorpio Sun. There's some very powerful intuition there, and healing potential. And neither feels to me like it wants to take a safe and predictable path. If your creative work is provoking blank stares, then you're clearly getting your audience to think differently. I think that's a great thing. I think go with what your creative passion tells you.

Hope these are helpful thoughts!

ariesmoon - thanks for this info. since posting the question i've gotten more in touch with the idea that i need to do what means integrity to me, and enjoy the ride - while letting go of the idea that the stares have any meaning. or not taking them personally.
i submitted to an online mag a very personal creative piece, written in an unconventional style, and it was accepted. i know the editor, and i know he'll honor the weird structure and the support feels great.

i'm also feeling eros wake up in my body, with all this activation. and when around people who are less than connected with their eros side, i want to run over and shake them to wake them to such an awareness.

i hadn't connected that eros is in my 7th, too, thanks for that. it makes sense. i'd always thought a particular friend of mine beautiful, yet yesterday i felt it - and laughed because i was checking her out, seeing her as a woman in a way i hadn't before.

thanks for your comments!
