In chart analysis, Eros serves as an indicator of one’s passion, sexual attraction, sexual preference, and vital energy. Beyond sexuality, Eros’ passion is experienced as simply “whatever turns you on, excites, or arouses.” Eros is also the powerful emotional force that motivates one toward consummating desires and visions. In classical Greece, Eros became a patron of homosexual love and can be one indicator of sexual preference. Eros was able to refine and transform his unconscious, instinctual sexual drive into erotic love as a path to spiritual illumination through his romance with Psyche. Thus, he manifested as the son of Mars and Venus in later Roman myths.Īstrologically, Eros functions as a higher octave of Mars. Embodying the masculine sexual force, he served as the generative masculine power which brought the world into creation. Mythologically, Eros was a primal, phallic god born out of Chaos (the Void) at the beginning of time. Psyche-Eros contacts indicate the potential for soul-mate union.Įros, god of erotic love, represents the principle of passionate desire. In synastry, Psyche contacts describe points of intuitive knowing-and understanding-or total lack thereof-between individuals.

Psyche aspects connect the meaning of the contacted planet with a heightened awareness: with Uranus, she indicates precognition with Chiron, she indicates abilities in psychic healing and in Ceres, she can show how the individual can mirror skills in communicating with plants or children. When analyzed according to element, Psyche in an air sign depicts mental telepathy in water, she implies empathy in fire, she suggests the ability to control and direct energy fields and in earth, she points to achievements in physical manifestation. Thus, they may have many admirers but remain essentially alone. Because of their need for deep, intuitive communication, Psyche individuals may often decline to enter into superficial or short-term relationships. Stressful placements of Psyche can indicate a total lack of sensitivity to others, a blocked psychic awareness, or the inability to enter personal relationships. In chart analysis, a prominent Psyche symbolizes the capacity for psychic sensitivity to the mind and feelings of another person (her symbol or glyph is the Greek letter psi.) This heightened awareness can produce the yearning for mystic, soul-mate union. Through following the path of Psyche, conscious relationship provides a path to spiritual illumination.h

Astrologically, Psyche is a higher octave of Venus, expressing a refinement of personal love and psychic atonement to another. In perfecting the relationship progression of Lilith (the scorned mate) and Juno (the faithful Life Partner), Psyche represents the completion stage of the development of the feminine as a consort.
