We’re in the dog days of summer—backyard cookouts, pool parties, vacations—lots of opportunities to enjoy the heat. Eros being in Taurus right now only makes it hotter! From the start of August to mid-November, the asteroid of sexuality will be stationed in the sign of sensuality. This doesn’t necessarily mean “sex on the beach,” but it’s quite close. Intimacy and creativity are skyrocketing. Eros entered Taurus on August 6th and will begin retrograding by November 14th.
What is Eros?
Eros doesn’t get much attention in astrology; I’m here to fix that. Eros is the asteroid that represents your sexual energy. As the name hints, it’s about your erotic desires. Not only that, it’s your creative energy—your passion. Eros is what turns you on, not just in others, but in life itself. It’s also how you turn others on. That’s why it’s vital to have Eros included in your love readings. If you’d like to book a personal love reading, email me at kama.qrskm@aleeas.com. Now that we have a brief understanding of what Eros is, let’s see how each sign is affected this month.
- ♈Aries Rising – Eros is transiting your 2nd house, the natural home of Taurus. You’ll exude magnetism through your voice, self-worth, and sheer sensuality. Singing, speaking, and even eating in front of people can draw them in. Your voice and mouth are weapons of attraction. Your charm and sensuality can attract more wealth. Your aura becomes stronger when you spend more time doing physical self-care. You’ll have a deep desire for stability, which can hurt or hinder your relationships. Don’t become over-identified with material possessions. Things to watch out for: Overspending just to impress. Overindulgence in food/sex/comfort. Gold-diggers.
- ♉Taurus Rising – Eros is transiting your 1st house of self. You’ll have a magnetic personality, without effort. Strangers may give you double-takes more often. Your physical appearance will come off more sensual, inviting, or down-to-earth. The smallest gestures can turn others on, which can get to your head. Be careful not to become vain. This energy also speaks of being lazy with your passions/love. Don’t always expect others to chase you just because you’re beautiful. Also don’t let yourself get too comfortable that you stagnate on your passions. Watch out for overindulgence and shallow behaviors.
- ♊Gemini Rising – Eros is transiting your 12th house of imagination. Your dreams and daydreams will become erotic. You’ll have an attraction to spirituality, spiritual people, or occult sexuality. Spiritual people may find you more sexually arousing right now as well. Your attractive aura is magical, ethereal, and dreamlike. Watch out for attracting hidden enemies or “sleeping with the enemy.”
- ♋Cancer Rising – Eros is transiting your 11th house of community. Someone in your friend group could be attracted to you. Your online presence can suddenly get more attention. Your aura is especially magnetic in social groups, community spaces, and online networks. Lots of opportunities for creative collaboration. Be careful with blurring the lines between lovers and friends. Shout out to Usher & Lil Jon lol. Don’t overshare private desire in public spaces.
- ♌Leo Rising – Eros is transiting your 10th house of career and legacy. You’ll have more charisma in public and/or career settings. This charisma can come off with a sensual/erotic undertone. Your sexual desire can fuel your ambition. Your “sex appeal” can help drive success. Be careful not to overdo it to the point that your reputation is solely built on sex appeal. Otherwise, this can easily lead to public scandal or even job loss. Watch out for sexual dynamics in the workspace. Even your boss, might want some…
- ♍Virgo Rising – Eros is transiting your 9th house of higher education. You’ll be more sexually curious right now. This can be exploring your sexuality, new fantasies, or fetishes. You’ll also be more drawn and attracted to philosophical and spiritual times. They’ll also be more attracted to you. Your aura inflames others when you teach or share your beliefs & experiences. Watch out for being preachy or chasing sexual fantasies not grounded in reality.
- ♎Libra Rising – Eros is transiting your 8th house of sex and rebirth. This is a great place for Eros to be. You’ll probably be the most sexually magnetic, compared to the rest of the signs. Similar to the Taurus rising, you’ll attract others without effort. You, yourself, will be more drawn to mystery and intimacy. You could also be obsessive and possessive. Be mindful not to treat sex like currency. However, don’t forget your vast creative potential. All of this energy can be channeled into a productive project that can bring you returns in the future.
- ♏Scorpio Rising – Eros is transiting your 7th house of relationships. This is another solid location for Eros to be. Your love life will become more romantic right now. Marriage is in the cards. Your aura is very powerful in one-on-one dynamics. You become even more attractive when you add harmony to the situation. Watch out for co-dependency and projection.
- ♐Sagittarius Rising – Eros is transiting your 6th house of work and service. You’re probably “that one coworker” who’s a baddie all of a sudden. This can be from you spending more time in the gym, creating healthier routines that then reflect your beauty. Or you could be more attracted to your coworkers, like Cancer Risings right now. Watch out for sexual tensions causing distractions at work. You could also be looking for ways to ritualize a self-care routine.
- ♑Capricorn Rising – Eros is transiting your 5th house of entertainment and recreation. Flirting is all around fun right now. Your aura impassions others when you just dive deep into your hobbies and passions. When you confidently embrace the spotlight, you become that much more attractive. Sexuality here is light-hearted, joyful, and fiery. You’ll easily attract others who “just want to have fun.” Watch out for promiscuity, overindulgence, and validation-seeking.
- ♒Aquarius Rising – Eros is transiting your 4th house of home and family. This is all about “Netflix and chill.” Your sensual natures are best suited at home or a comfortable, familiar environment. You’re more interested in emotional security right now. Your magnetism is rooted in home, family, and private settings. However, emotional clinginess can be disguised as sensuality. Watch out for family drama spilling into love life and vice versa. Also, watch out for exes and past interests popping back up.
- ♓Pisces Rising – Eros is transiting your 3rd house of communication. Your words are your weapon of attraction. You have a very magnetic communicative style. What sounds normal to you, sounds like flirting to others, or vice versa. You can activate a sense of desire in others just on your words. If you’re a writer, look into writing something love, sex, and romance related. Watch out for witty banter, sex gossip, and talking more than doing.
