For those who have probably researched a little more into astrology, I'm sure you have heard of the asteroids, Eros and Psyche. If not, they relate to a greek myth of love. You can read the myth here to get more background on why Eros and Psyche might be important in general.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupid_and_Psyche<BR>
Eros is basically known as your love style (not quite like venus). Psyche is known as your soul, so to speak; or rather, the way you think in terms of love. You can find your eros and psyche here:

http://www.cafeastrology.com/erosephemerisasteroid.html<BR>
My eros is in Cancer:

"There is a need to infuse emotional care and nurture into the sex act. When the self-image is low, these lovers may use others as sexual objects, probably as a result of their fear of rejection. The breasts are a big turn-on, and many are orally fixated, and some may be attracted to a domination theme. When the self-image is stronger, intimacy and warmth are powerful stimulants. Eros in Cancer lovers seek to achieve psychic and emotional renewal through sex. They can be very intuitive bed partners. Sexual possessiveness is often an issue. Sometimes, these lovers want their partner to be relatively chaste, but they don't have the same standards for themselves. These lovers often fall in love with their sexual partners."

My psyche is in gemini (go figure lol):

"osmically activated by a surprise posy. She officially thinks flowers are a cheap romantic trick. But, if you pull out the totally unexpected, for-no-reason bouquet, she melts. She needs to know that she will be amused. The muse of love and a sparkling wit, she is able to spin the mundane into sparkling fresh vistas. Psyche in Gemini is comfortable with romantic ambiguity to the point of perhaps even preferring it. She trusts her mind, staying where the stimulation is, needing both to amuse and be amused. Her romantic ideal is to be a co-conspirator in love, the true companion and confidante of her soulmate. She quickly realizes that that Mr (You_Figure-It-Out) Taciturn is not for her. Complex and beguiling, she is literally terrified of dull people."

Go figure, I agree with my psyche in gemini description. I can't stand people who lack in the conversation department. I get bored if I'm not stimulated through talk, and I love to be amused. I'd rather run from someone I sense is dull than stick around.

So, what is your eros and psyche. And do you agree?

Eros in Scorpio. ( in )This is an especially erotic position of Eros. These lovers can be addicted to the thrill of getting to know a person inside and out, and to the power of love and sex. Intensity is important to these lovers. They don't just want their partner's body, they want a bit of their soul as well! This position suggests very little fear in the area of sexual intimacy, and these lovers will pretty much do anything and everything with a willing partner. They are passionate, and the more intense the relationship is, the better. Animal magnetism is high, probably because these people think about sex and intimacy a whole lot, and others may sense their intensity. They can easily get under your skin, tapping into others' desires.

I used to deject the eros in cancer description because I hated to feel that I get that attached and clingy (probably not so much clingy) to things. But then I though about it and realized how I literally do not enjoy NSA sex. I've done it a couple of times, and I just felt horrible afterward. I wasn't mentally or emotionally there, and I realized I felt no desire to really get "hot." I won't sleep with anyone I feel no connection to, and this doesn't have to be love. I can go without sex for months just because I have to have some kind of connection, even if I'm craving sex. I'll joke how much I want it, but I'll forgo it until I actually get to know someone a little. It's just so much better when you can let go, and the only way I can let go is if I'm comfortable enough to open up a little with the person I'm with.

I'm just a horndog through and through 😢 Where did you go to get the breakdown of your Psyche?



Lol there is nothing wrong with that. I'm a complete horndog. I love sex and I will talk about it like it's nothing. But, it's what they eros in cancer said that holds true. I won't touch you if I'm not feeling something there.

For my psyche, I kind of had to look all around. Just find your psyche and type "psych in (sign)" in google and start searching! lol

Eros in Aquarius. ( in )These lovers are intrigued by the unusual, finding variety exciting. The detachment of Aquarius can mean finding sensuality in non-contact scenarios in addition to contact ones. Sexual creativity is one of the strengths of this position. Their open minds with regards to sex can stimulate creativity in their partner.



sounds like fun 😉

Eros in Sagittarius. ( in )These lovers have an enthusiastic and exuberant appeal. Sex is meant to be fun for Eros in Sagittarius, and some roughhousing and plenty of hearty laughs are turn-ons. Sexuality is sometimes viewed as if it were a sport by these people. They may surprise you with a very open and almost innocent attitude toward sex and intimacy. Sex is a bit of a game, and how this attitude is received will depend a lot on the audience! There can be a bit of an addiction to the chase, and avoidance of intimacy when it feels restricting in any way. Tenderness and romance are not the kinds of expressions that come as easily to these lovers(Not true for me.). Laughter and fun are aphrodisiacs for this position of Eros. Sexual exploration and freedom are important, as well as a need for sexual honesty—sex without the frills and trappings that these lovers may find to be unnatural and even dishonest. Eros in Sagittarius can show up as passion for knowledge, hunger for new experiences, and a love of travel and exploring new lands and cultures.

My Psyche is in Leo...

Hey Candeh15 thanks for the find! My Eros is in sag and his is in Aries = I run,he chases.This totally nails us.Folks who know us are always scratching their heads about our relationship.We don't have to be standing near each other for strangers to feel the heat we just naturally generate.Even when I go to his jobsite to drop something off,not saying who I am and being low key,his co-workers will tell him later"your girlfriend was here".

So fun being a cusp.

Eros falls between Taurus and Gemini, Psyche in Gemini.

Eros in Taurus. ( in )These are highly sensual lovers who may seek to own their partners. Sexual possessiveness is often an issue with these lovers, and, unlike Eros in Aries, competition is not a turn-on. These lovers can be somewhat primitive in their desires and not as attracted to too much sexual intricacy. Plenty of masturbation is likely, although these lovers tend to be most unhappy without a steady partner. Their sexual natures are rooted in the senses.

Eros in Gemini. ( in )These lovers are sexually curious and interested. They like to be knowledgeable in sexual matters, and often are turned on by the written and spoken word. They may write letters to their lover, or enjoy writing and reading erotica. Because it is difficult for these lovers to turn their minds off during sex, there is a voyeur within the person during sexual expression, and it may be difficult for these lovers to simply "let go". Many Eros in Gemini individuals enjoy talking, and being talked to, during sex.

That worried me at first. I can be very detached with feelings. Someone who is not, scares me. We've had a few "bumps" in the road with that but this kind of explains it. He is much more vocal via text, a dynamic I'm comfortable with versus on the phone, a dynamic I'm not comfortable with expressing mushy stuff.




Elle does it not feel genuine if expressed by any other means other than in direct person?

Another Libra Placement... I have enough Libra!

Cafe:
Eros in Libra. ( in )This is a rather flirtatious and charming position of Eros. Libra's tendency toward a "tit for tat" attitude shows up as a desire for equality on a sexual level, but in practice, Eros in Libra lovers often forget their own sexual needs because they are focusing on those of their partner. Communication is sexy to these lovers. These people can be hopelessly addicted to all of the "trappings" of falling in love, so much so that when a relationship settles, it may seem boring. Highly romantic and charming, Eros in Libra people enjoy the social "game" surrounding making connections with lovers, and they can be quite seductive.


Falcon:
Eros, god of love, distilling liquid desire down upon the eyes, bringing sweet pleasure to the souls of those against whom you make war, never to me may you show yourself to my hurt nor ever come but in due measure and harmony.----Euripides
Eros in Libra says, "share the elegant beauty of life with me!" This Eros wants above all to participate with a significant other in many splendid activities. Libra is the sign of personal one-to-one relationships and Eros here has all the longings for the excellence and refinement that exemplify Libra. In this position, life needs to unfold pleasantly and in the company of a beloved other.
Being the second of the AIR signs, Eros in Libra has the ability to objectify life, and enjoys the communication of ideas. Talking , interpreting, counseling and the giving and receiving of feedback all rate high on the list of Libra??s good times. This is a refined position for Eros, a sign that inherently honors the social niceties of the times and enjoys the sophistication of good manners and pleasant exchange. Unless, of course, they are flipping into their antagonistic side. Then, from Libra erupts the disputing debater or Devil??s advocate par excellent!


PSYCHE IN GEMINI: Are drawn to powerful personalities that are able to switch between staying home and painting the town. They also enjoy mates who challenge their intellect.

I have my Venus in Virgo...yeah, I know. 😉
My Mars is in Gemini. Those are the worst placements for the signs. Well, seems like I don't have any mazel with those placements.
Since we are both Virgo rising we kinda look alike a little (at least I think that xD) but your Venus in leo makes you look sexy and my Venus in Virgo makes me look like an innocent kitten. Always attracts the wrong guys...

Oh right! You do have your venus in virgo lol. Oh man, Mars in Gemini... that's gotta be fun. It's so funny because there will be times when I'm like... "I want to have fun and be social and meet people and yada yada yada" but I literally do not want to move because I'm just too relaxed. So, I end up not going out lol.

From when you posted your picture, I can see what you mean! We did kind of have similar traits (I don't know if you are as short as me though, lol). And I don't even know what kind of guys I attract anymore lol. But I love kittens! I guess I'm like the dark kitten and you're like the fluffy white kitten in the litter. Both adorable, innocent, and fun, though! lol

plus an added bonus....

he figured that out himself 😄

He's tuning into to your wavelength ,that's a big check for him .I'm not big on mush either,actions count with me also.It's not about what he can do for me,but rather how he handles things in general,is he making smart choices?!

It sounds like you two are off to a good start and I wish you both the best.LOL,not being rude or anything,but with me not being a Virgo Male it's not wise for me to add more...I just didn't want to leave you hanging out there....

I like the image of the dark and the white kitten lol.
You are short?? I thought from the pics you posted that you're quite tall. I am around 5'7, pretty tall.

Yeah, you're right with the Mars sign regarding fun. I would never miss a opportunity to go out and drink or party. Meeting people and having fun is something that always gets me out of the house. I can relax too but I get bored easily.
I was searching for a pic to use on here but I couldn't find any recent ones where I am alone and not at a club or party...ok that kinda embarrasses me. xD
How is Mars in taurus in action? How does it motivate you? I just met someone with that placement and am curious about it.

Well my mars in taurus does make me move a bit slower than most. When I'm grounded and relaxed, you'd really have to tie me down and drag me out to get me moving again. I can be stubborn when you try to push me... really stubborn lol. When I get stuck on something, I will usually try to finish it until the end. So, it has it's ups and downs lol.
