What does Eros in Aries mean?

Eros in Aries hungers for direct, passionate, unguarded desire.

The archetype

About Eros

Eros, the son of Aphrodite, is more than romantic Venus, he is the deeper hunger of soul-recognition. Where Venus is what you like, Eros is what you are pulled by. His placement shows the kind of desire that can rearrange a life.

Key Takeaways

  • Eros represents the chemistry that pulls two souls into the same room.
  • In Aries, Eros takes on the qualities of Aries-energy: Eros in Aries hungers for direct, passionate, unguarded desire.
  • The crystal Carnelian is traditionally paired with this placement.
  • Asteroids add psychological resolution that the ten classical planets alone cannot provide.
