I have been discussing cupido with someone recently,
I have heard others say he is the look of love. But honestly I think he is acting as the shot through the heart type of love.
For instance When pluto fell for Persephone he was shot with an arrow prior to seeing her. "Love at first sight" It was the same for Aphrodite and Adonis even Eros himself was pierced by his arrow prior to truely loving Psyche. After all the Phrase is LOVE at first sight. his arrow is what makes us fall in love. He is the counterpart of Eros So Maybe the look of love means more love at first sight? like being shot through the heart.

Hi,
I've been doing a little very unscientific research since I first read this, and I think you might have a workable idea here. I have been going through my astro.com list and plugging in cupido and, it shows up, like clockwork.

Just because I made a mistake checking Cupido, I accidentally found out that my guy (we are talking marriage right now) and I and the father of my kids and I have conjunct Adonises. Must be something there!
My bf's Cupido is opposed to my Mars, my former husband's Cupido is opposed to my Eros, Psyche, Sapp, Lust and Jup. I just discovered that with an unrequited love our Cupido's were conjunct!

I see I have Cupido conj Jupiter/Neptune/Chiron in 5th Another reason I used to fall in and out of love every six months if not more often for a long time I guess Sadly it seems to have worn off and life is somewhat staid............... I have a bunch of long term friends of both sexes born around this position but no one who has become a relationship My Adonis is conj Ceres in 6th which conj one long relationship's Sun and opp his Moon Do not have time to check other's asteroids just now I have been studying the Martha Lang-Westcott book on the train every day and getting a lot of aha moments

I must look up Cupido, having been "shot through the heart" with love twice in the last 10 years! Not only in the individual charts, but in the event charts too ...
Yes! I looked him up in the event chart of when I was "shot" the second time - the Sabian symbol for Cupido's degree is 2 Taurus "An Electrical Storm Illuminates the Heavens and the Forests". Very appropriate considering that Uranus was tight conjunct the Ascendant too!
Lynda Hill says of this symbol "You may have little influence over what has been unleashed" (too true).
I also looked at Cupido in our composite chart - it turns up conjunct Uranus by degree, at 23 Virgo "A Lion Tamer Rushes Fearlessly into the Arena". Lynda Hill says "adrenaline rushes .. restrained passion ... once you're in the arena there's no turning back".
So there's definitely something here about sudden, crackling emotions, especially with the contacts with Uranus. Yes, I think you might have something here! Has anyone else checked Sabian symbols and for Cupido degrees?
