Name meaning & mythology
The Greek god of love. In the earliest account, he is a primordial god, while in later accounts he is described as one of the children of Aphrodite and Ares and, with some of his siblings, was one of the Erotes, a group of winged love gods. The main myth about him involves how he met, married and later rescued Psyche.
Astrology in a nutshell
While Eros is evidently a representative of romantic and physical love and desire, there seems to be another side to this asteroid, connecting the primal erotic force with the aspiration of the soul to the heavens. Love is indeed a powerful means of revealing the best in others and connecting us to the best in ourselves; through it, we glimpse the Divine truth behind our mortal frame, and the paradise within which that sacred form naturally dwells.
