Alright folks, so this Eros asteroid thing kept popping up in my feed. Love and asteroids? Sounded kinda funky, but hey, why not give it a whirl? People swear it affects how we connect in relationships. Time to put on my skeptic hat and dive in.
Getting My Head Around This Space Rock
First, I needed my Eros asteroid info. Grabbed my exact time of birth from the dusty old document file and headed to one of those free astro chart sites. Took me way too long to find where to click the dang asteroid option! Seriously, buried deep in the settings. Finally printed out the chart, squinting at the tiny symbols. Found Eros – turns out it’s chilling in my 7th house of partnerships. According to some astrology forums, that meant big things for my love life style. Felt a bit like finding Waldo.
Next stop? The spouse’s chart. Needed her birth time too. Let’s just say waking her up for that info early Saturday morning wasn’t… universally appreciated. “Why do you need this now?” Yeah, coffee first, then asteroid hunting. Got her chart printed next to mine. Her Eros sits in fiery Aries. Mine’s over in detail-oriented Virgo. Huh. Okay then.
Trying Those 3 “Easy” Ways Everyone Talks About
The guides promised “3 easy ways” to use Eros astrology. Let’s test drive them.
- Way 1: The “Eros Talking Style” Test. Supposedly how your Eros sign likes to express love words. My Virgo placement pointed to “appreciation through practical actions and careful words.” Honestly? Yeah, guilty. “I fixed the leaky tap” is my version of a love sonnet. My wife’s Aries Eros? “Direct, passionate, maybe impatient.” She literally sent me a screenshot of her chart later that afternoon saying “SEE? THIS EXPLAINS WHY YOU’RE SO SLOW PLANNING DATE NIGHT!” Shoved it right to my face. Bloody hell.
- Way 2: The Spark Finder. Looking at how our Eros placements interact – aspects. My Virgo Eros makes a “trine” (apparently smooth flow) to her Mars, meaning my fussy approach vibes with her go-getter energy? Mostly saw it when planning chores. She wants it done fast, I want it done right. Bickered about washing the car method for 20 minutes. Called it “energetic alignment.” Felt like alignment of stubbornness!
- Way 3: Where the Magic Happens. Checking the house placements to see “where attraction flows.” My Eros in 7th – relationships are central. Hers in 5th – playfulness and romance. Tried leveraging that. My approach: “Honey, as my 7th house Eros requires partnership focus, please pass the salt.” Blank stare. Her approach? Dragged me to a spontaneous salsa dance pop-up downtown (total 5th house vibe). I stumbled through it. It worked way better than my salt request.
The Real World Verdict
So, did knowing our Eros placements magically fix everything? Nah. Three days later we still argued about forgetting to buy milk. BUT. Understanding that her Aries Eros needs that spontaneous spark? Or that my Virgo Eros feels love by handling the bills efficiently? That clicked. I stopped taking her impatience personally as much. She tolerates my spreadsheet-based meal planning a tad better. Did the asteroids make us act this way? Probably not. But it gave us this kinda funky language, a new lens to see our old arguments through. Like, “Oh right, that’s the Virgo-Aries asteroid clash showing up again.” Makes me roll my eyes less when she insists we just do the thing now.
Biggest surprise? How often we pull up those charts now when we hit a weird patch. “Check your Eros, buddy!” became a joke, but it kinda works? Less therapy, more stargazing for our fights. Still bonkers if you ask me. But hey, the salsa dancing was fun.
