Psyche & Eros-- the Myth and Your Chart


We all have Psyche & Eros in our charts-- but how exactly do they impact us?


I've been trying to figure that out, all input is welcome. 🙂



"Psyche is the Greek word for soul, and Psyche is the place in your chart that can detail for you where you can find your entrance into your self. Psyche also represents psychology and is involved with the discipline of the study of the mind. Psyche encompasses the soul, the mind, and the self.

??_The elements of Psyche's life are trust, love, passion, betrayal, and jealousy. Beyond that, we can learn from Psyche the uncovering of who we are, why we act as we do, and what love means to us.

Psyche's story is filled with archetypes, as are all mythological tales; fathers who are cruel or neglectful, or overindulgent, foolish, and devoted; jealous women, as in mothers, stepmothers, or sisters, and of course the lover. The lover may be disguised, so the fair maiden cannot see his face or guess his identity. He can be cruel, or he can be kind. He can be a demon or a god. His being and persona changes in each story??_

The end of the tale is always the same, since the ultimate end of the heroine's story is her final understanding of herself. It is the final acceptance of her totality of being, which includes her mind, body, and spirit. Psyche's story involves the ultimate acknowledgment that the soul can be granted immortality through its ability to love."

Enter Eros??_ more here


You can read the story in its entirety, here-- about a quarter page down with the heading: The myth of Eros & Psyche

The second link provides far more detail (esp. Eros), as well as the psychological implications.


Where do Psyche & Eros fall in your natal chart?

I have psyche in Virgo and Eros in Pisces. Psyche is conjunct Asc., square Saturn, and opposite Eros. I think that would be a T square.



You know-- it isn't easy finding legitimate info on aspects to Eros & Psyche.

Astrofluff, on the other hand, is abundant.


HIS PSYCHE IN VIRGO:

Cosmically activated by clever, even difficult: music. Don't think that just because he's into jazz, it means he wants to dance. When he says jazz he means goatees and berets. He needs to know that details count for something. The man with Psyche in Virgo longs for someone to understand him on every level. But this trick must somehow be accomplished with a high degree of sophistication. He loves the woman who can draw an intelligent conclusion without him having to spell things out. His Ms Ideal is meticulous without making a big fuss of it, and someone who is together, worldly and witty. Eschewing mess and living an out here life style , she is dean-living and discreet. Intensely moral, Psyche in Virgo appreciates a —good?? woman who respects his need for privacy.


HIS EROS IN PISCES:

Cosmically activated by ylang- ylang essential oil. Unlike most men, Eros in Pisces is interested in complexity and mystery. If in doubt, try anything that's oriental. But, make sure you use it sparingly. He wants to hear: I'm so in love with you. Eros in Pisces is the king of love and the most romantic sign of all. He yearns for the all-enveloping romance, one —that annihilates walls between the lovers and fulfills childhood dreams of The One. This man is capable of unconditional acceptance. Wildly compassionate, he can't truly in love with a woman mean-hearted. Cynical arrangements or merely —convenient?? relationships hardens his heart. Yet, because he believes in love, he can easily be hurt by those who fail to grasp his inner goodness.

Eros & Psyche


Any of that ring true for you, EU?



Fun site, though-- and maybe a bit of truth, hmm?.



Enjoy. 😉

HIS EROS IN GEMINI:
Cosmically activated by ever changing scents. He always likes to be surprised. Flip him out with a hot Latin scent one moment, then blast him with a fresh, clean soap smell the next. He wants to hear: Come here, go away! The laughing cavalier of love, Eros in Gemini can't engage his heart without a strong mental affinity. He's aroused by new info, gossip and jokes that he hasn't heard yet. He gets bored with moralizing and emotive ranting. So just keep him interested with lots of chitchat. He??ll love that you change the subject before he can. Whether he's happily soulmated or not, this guy needs to feel as though he's with a variety of people. Feel free to show off the myriad aspects of beautiful you to him. Reassure him by remaining unpredictable and always elusive.

HIS PSYCHE IN CAPRICORN:
Cosmically activated by Top 40 soft rock. Not man who likes to be sidetracked, Mr Psyche in Cap keeps to the musical straight and narrow. If in doubt, check where his car radio is tuned. He needs to know that the pursuit of success will be mutual. This is the alpha guy in love. The dream girl of the guy with Psyche in Capricorn is a classic Type-A personality: vibrant, demanding and ambitious. He is most easily turned off by the victim stance or by a woman who wants to coast along on someone else's slog to success. His ideal female has poise, goals and a plan on which to structure her life. He likes the ones who don't need him. In fact, icy indifference inspires his ardor far more than over-the-top declarations of needy emotion. He fantasizes about being one part of a dynamic duo. These two are an unbeatable power couple.

Psyche in the Signs - con't

PSYCHE IN LIBRA: Fascinated by partners with striking looks, possibly to the detriment of other aspects, in order to indulge the fantasy of the relationship. Usually they get wise to this tendency in due time. They treat everyone around them lavishly.

I tried to escape my Cancer ways since my Sun, Moon & Mars are in that sign, but...

If Eros is in the sign Cancer, then you cannot separate love and sex from a sensitive bond with someone. In fact, if you have Eros in Cancer then an emotional connection is a prerequisite to sex and love - you simply must have intimacy in the receptive, instinctive way before it gets physical. With Eros in Cancer you'll experience the most intense attraction and love for someone who makes you feel safe and nurtured. Be aware of your tendency to smother the one you love and to be too overprotective of yourself sexually and emotionally. It's difficult to feel sexually free when you're so worked up about being emotionally vulnerable yet at the same time, you crave deep emotional connections. And with this placement, you tend to be the most nurturing lover to the one you give your heart to. With Eros in Cancer, love and sex are sacred expressions of your most raw self - your soul.

FUCK!! 😢 Lol! It's in the ninth house just like my moon.

"Psyche in Taurus is the natural born seductress who trusts her sensual instincts above all. Her vital indicators of love are the scent of her mate and pleasurable skin-to-skin contact. However, if the fingertips don't zing off one another at first touch, she turns off. Flighty, on-off-on-again guys need not apply. However, these types will still swarm around her, longing to be soothed by that aura. A true sybarite, she is drawn to abundance. Nature and stability evoke her deep inner serenity."

I do like this placement though. 🙂 It's in the 8th house like my Venus in Gemini.
