Eros represents the kind of love that's based on passion and romantic feelings. Eros is a Greek god in Greek mythology. Eros can also be known as Cupid or amor. Eros is known to shoot an arrow of love into their heart's, this love is more lustful and based on desire/infatuation. This shows a sexual , and physical attraction to another. In astrology, this meaning is the same.
Eros 1h in your natal chart shows that you are who embodies the energy of eros. When others see you, they can feel as if they have been shot by the arrow of love. You can be someone who is romantic and loves pleasure.
Eros 7h synastry signifies a very sexuallly charged relationship without a doubt. The 7h person sees the eros person as very attractive. Sexual fireworks.... 🎆
Mania is just how it sounds, literally completely indulged into a person. Being locked and stuck on that person. This is infatuation and obsession. Think of a stalker, or kinda of a secret admirer. The perfect example of this is the show called "You" on netflix. In this show, the guy was obsessed and doing crazy things just so he could be with this girl that he was obsessed with. Some of us have been here, and many say that this isn't love, but it's just obsession. But at that time, and in that moment, it's what you know you love to be. This is not a healthy love 😐. Lovelock (51663) & Nessus (7066) are synonymous with mania love. Lovelock is less intense. It just shows love where you are locked on something and in love borderline obsessed with. Lovelock keeps coming around, and it shows where you don't want to give up on something that you love. Nessus takes the bait for mania, except this asteroid has not much to do with love but a lot to do with obsession & deviancy. Nessus is a lot of dark things but mainly we're focusing on obsession and desire. Nessus is in control and doing anything to get power. Nessus will and would do anything for something that it wants, whether it be money, love, etc.
Lovelock 1h in synastry shows that the lovelock person will be set on the 1h person. It will be hard for the lovelock person to move on from the 1h. The lovelock person will find themselves constantly thinking about the house person or even trying to find their way back into their lives. This can be bad or good depending on other aspects/overlays within the synastry & composite chart.
Nessus 1h/ conjunct asc, in synastry obviously this shows the nessus person will be very enamored to say the least by the 1h person. However, nessus will want control & power over the ascendant person. This is also an aspect that creates a STRONG, almost insatiable sexual attraction towards each other.
Pragma is love that feels committed, and it's love that is based on growth and stability. This is often seen between partners who have been together for a while, and you just begin to love them because of the solidarity and trust that is built. The asteroid I would associate with this one isn't necessarily love. However, it's Solidarity (8991). The name speaks for itself with this asteroid, which can give insight into where this energy may occur
For example:
Solidarity (8991) 4h in synastry: This shows that the solidarity person will bring great stability emotionally and within the home life. This is an indication of longevity due to the 4h representing roots and what feels comfortable. Therefore, this shows a very enduring familial relationship similar to pragma, over time of building, and becoming close. This can turn into a love that is very stable.
Philia is closeness. This is love between friends or siblings. This love is simply platonic. Compassion (8990) and Close (54902) are two great asteroids to explain this love.
For example:
Compassion 11h in synastry: Within this overlay what begins to unfold is literally compassion through companionship. The 11h person can genuinely become very compassionate and entrusting towards a compassionate person. Compassion in return gifts the house person with understanding through friendship.
Close 7h synastry: This overlay denotes a very close knitted relationship. The 7h person can feel deeply connected to the close person, and vice versa. There's an automatic connection and attraction, whether it be romantic or platonic.
Storge is an instinctual and parental love towards their children. This is love that just feels natural, not forced. You can't help but love them. An asteroid to be associated with this for us would be ceres. Ceres (1) is "parental love" known to be a motherhood asteroid, but we can see it being used for all parents since this asteroid also shows family relationships.
Ceres in 6h (natally) can indicate someone who cares a lot about the welfare of their children/family. They want to work and provide, and make sure the health of their children is good. They can make sacrifices just for their family and take on many responsibilities within day to day life. They want to be of service to others, and nurture others by doing this. Many sacrifices can be made for family.
Ceres in 5h (synastry), this is a very nice overlay to have. Firstly, this can boost fertility, and increase the want to procreate. Even if this is a romantic relationship, it's can show the 5h person has this strong love towards your children, and they feel very nurtured within this area of life because of you.
Ludus, it is the kind of love that is less serious - really, it's playful, it's cute like the 5h house. Its non committal, no strings attached. Ludus literally means "game", in latin, so this is very 5h coded. This is flirtatious and seductive. The kind of person you might only see once in a lifetime. Lust (4386) & Cupido (763) fit this perfectly. Lust is pure attraction and craving something or someone. Cupido is physical & playful attraction. This can be described as the first flicker of love. It's like, "I like you, but i'm not sure how far this will go," not saying it can't go past initial attraction.
Lust 1h in synastry shows an allure towards 1h person. They find 1h person to be the embodiment of hotness and can easily get turned on by the sight of them. It can feel uncontrollable....
Cupido 5h in synastry, this is cute. Honestly, perfect placement shows a definite physical attraction and sexual compatibility. Things get spicy, and Cupido and 5h are crushing hard on each other. Their bodies speak without words.
Philautia represents self-love, the most important love. You can only love others if you have COMPASSION, understanding, patience, and, of course, love for yourself first. This is about self care and your well-being. Philutia can turn into being overtly into yourself. Honestly, for this love, there's no asteroid we would associate with this. All love asteroids can be turned to be used within you. Venus within your own natal chart can show where you can practice self love, And develop philautia within yourself.
For example:
Venus in pisces may struggle with self-love. These natives need to spend time alone and get in touch with the soul. Their spirituality and creativity are great areas for them to cultivate and grow within. This mutable sign shows they need to get in touch with change and never get too settled. Stay fluid, and remind yourself you are young at heart. You have a gleam that is undeniable and otherworldly.
Venus in Cancer, self love comes from staying in tune with the feminine side of yourself. Simply put, you need to nurture yourself. As well as express your feelings. Reflecting on your past and roots for improvement is great for this placement.
Agape is a big favorite for us. This is unconditional love. It’s love for everyone without the need for anything extra. This is the highest form of love and is known as God's love. This love is sacrificial & selfless. Agapenor (5023) is the literal astrological embodiment of this. Within compatibility charts, this can show love that never fades because of the love on a soul level. And love for what the soul knows and recognizes within the other. This shows putting the other before yourself just because you genuinely want to. Another asteroid i would put within this category is the infamous valentine (447). This too, represents sacrificial love where you expect nothing in return.
Agapenor 7h in synastry: Unconditional love that is formed through the relationship. These two won’t forget about the other, it wouldn't feel natural to have ill will towards them.
Venus-Valentine synastry, strong deep loving connection. Willing to give it all up for love. Thid aspect within synastry makes you feel like you've been swept off your feet.
we are all sleeping on this outfit tbh!!!!! look at the chain on his belt!!!! the arrows design!!! the pink neckerchief!!! the hat -- THOSE SHOES, CAN WE TALK ABOUT THOSE SHOES?????

== Love Notes / Morale ==
Hey there lovelies! Today had some pretty great excitement going on! Chaos Dad popped his head out, Kristian's book got announced, our Ruibo put out a lovely song for us. All good news!
Even though a lot of folks had peaks today, I know some of our crew is still having some troughs, so I wanted to send out a little reminder that it's okay to have bad days. It's okay to not be as excited as everyone else. It's also okay to be excited when others are feeling down. We are all individuals and we all have our unique experiences and struggles we deal with every day.
You don't need to compare your experience to others-- you're allowed to be exactly how you are right now. If you feel down, give yourself a hug, you don't have to come out of it right now if you're not ready, but if you are, there are plenty of things happening to give you some joy.
I was going to save this song for when I wanted to talk a bit about mistakes and dealing with them, but I think it's pretty applicable to any situation where we're feeling down. It helps keep me grounded sometimes when I'm not feeling up for things. Here's just a couple lyrics from: "It's Alright - by Mother Mother"
"It's alright, It's okay, it's alright, it's okay
You're not a demon, there's a reason
You behaved in that way
It's alright, it's okay, it's alright, it's okay
And I believe, yes I believe that you will see a better day
It's alright"
Another lovely note from @spanishjenkies I thought was really important to include tonight-- Jen is right, David didn't say stop :) Remember that whenever you're feeling like the gravy basket is feeling too deep. Chaos Dad is still fighting the good fight in the background and he hasn't told us to throw in the towel.
Goodnight/G'day Lovelies, hope you all get some rest and have a wonderful day tomorrow!
==Daily Darby/Tonight's Taika==
You can blame thank @celluloidbroomcloset for the inability to think after that Darby gif. @ofmd-ann thank you for the reaction gif for all of our brain cells in the form of Taika.
Hi hi! i love your writing and i was wondering if you could do a newt x reader where newt explains his limp to reader and they pamper him for like a week and are super caring after they learn about his ykyk? 🫶🫶🫶
Thank you for your kind words! You are too kind!
Warnings: Established relationship, love confessions, sexual innuendos, Frypan being brotherly, all of the cheese. Didn’t exactly turn out the way I wanted, but I hope you like it! 😬😅
“Hey Newtie,” you affectionately said, sitting down next to the boy. “Could I ask you something?”
“Anything, love,” Newt smiled kindly. He stretched out his legs, enjoying the heat off the monthly bonfire.
Your lips quirked up stiffly, fully aware of what you were about to ask. However, the question had been pushing at you, wanting to burn its way out. “You don’t have to answer,” you started carefully, “but how did you get your limp?”
Newt’s face fell and you immediately knew you overstepped your boundaries. You had only been dating a couple weeks and didn’t want to make the boy feel uncomfortable. You shifted towards him as if to begin apologising. “Are you sure you wanna know?” He asked quietly, speaking before you could.“You’re not gonna see me the same after I tell you. I’ll be this ugly, delicate, depressed, misshapen monster-”
“Newt,” you cut him off. “You could never change in my mind. You will forever be my kind, loving, adorable Newt.”
Newt flickered a smile at you. “I jumped,” he said softly.
“You jumped?” You didn’t want to press him.
He nodded. “Th- There was this time, a couple years ago, when things got really bad.” He swallowed roughly and avoided your eyes. “I didn’t wanna go on so I ran into the maze, climbed a wall, and jumped.” His words hug, suspended in the air. All other sounds around you two faded, leaving a bubble of just you and Newt. After a deafening silence, Newt slowly continued, “Minho found me. He brought me back here and Clint and Jeff patched me up. But they said my leg would never be the same.”
“Do you wish it worked?” You asked before you could stop yourself.
Newt sighed. His body was angled into you, and yours to him. An intimate position for an intimate conversation. While this would forever change your and Newt’s relationship, it would never be the reason you stopped loving him. If that was even possible. Only a couple weeks into this relationship and you already knew Newt was the one you wanted to spend the rest of your life with.
“At first, yeah,” he admitted. “When I woke up and realised nothing had changed except for a crippled leg, I wanted to run back and try again. But Alby and Minho made me go on. And then you showed up.” For the first time since you began this conversation, Newt looked at you. His brown eyes held a deep sadness, one you wanted to erase away and make him new again. But this experience had changed Newt. If you erased it, you would be erasing him. You couldn’t do that to the boy you loved.
“I came up?” You wondered.
“You came up,” he confirmed. “And everything changed. You made the sun shine brighter, the grass grow greener, and the birds sing louder. You lit up the Glade. You lit up my life. And then I had a reason to be happy again. You changed everything.”
You melted. Reaching forward and grabbing Newt in a hug, you said, “You’re not a misshapen monster. Depression doesn’t make you ugly. I love you and nothing will ever change that.”
“You love me?” Newt broke the hug to look at you, a large, hesitant smile growing on his face.
You couldn’t meet his eyes and stammered out, “Well, I mean like, you know, we were friends before we started dating and I really loved and valued your friendship so yeah, I loved you then and ever since we started going out, I mean, love doesn’t go away, there’s different kinds of it. I don’t know if I love you romantically- I mean, of course I do, I love you a lot, but it’s too soon to tell you, so-”
Newt stopped your rambling with a kiss. You two had kissed before, but this felt different. More passionate and caring. More trusting.
“I love you too, you know.” Newt confided, his lopsided grin making you want to kiss him again. So you did.
“And nothing will ever change the way I feel.” You hugged him tightly, your bodies fitting together like they were meant to be.
**
“Hey Fry,” Newt said, standing in line to get his food. “How’re you?”
“Your girlfriend’s fine,” Frypan rolled his eyes. “Seeing as that’s the information you really wanna know. She got up early this morning to make something special for the Glade.”
“Yeah, I know,” Newt frowned. “She was gone when I woke up.”
“Okay, ew.” Frypan shuddered, slopping some food into a bowl for Newt. “I don’t need to hear that.”
“Our hammocks are right next to each other, you shank!” Newt defended himself. “But what’d she do?”
“Made pancakes for everyone.” Frypan grinned, proud of his protege. He showed a plate to Newt, piled high with pancakes. “She made this plate just for you.”
Newt carefully took it, his cheeks lighting up with a blush. Next to the delicious looking surprise of pancakes stood a piece of paper, folded in half. On the outside was a drawn heart and on the inside a scribbled note that said: Good morning! Hope you like the pancakes. Love, Y/n.
Frypan groaned as Newt stood there, smiling softly at the note. Fry said sternly, “Shuck off, man. You’re holding up the line!”
Newt shook his head at the impatient cook, still beaming because of his girlfriend. Going to sit next to Thomas and Minho, his friends cheered when they saw him. “The man of the hour!” Minho cried, already on his second plate. He had put off running the maze to eat more of Y/n’s breakfast.
Puzzled, Newt asked them what they meant.
“Clearly you did something to butter Y/n/n up,” Thomas mumbled through a mouth of food. “Because these are delicious. Word is that she made them for you but then decided to make them for all of us.”
“You’re the reason we have pancakes this fine morning.” Minho pointed his fork at Newt, “so whatever you’re doing, keep it up. Ask for waffles next.”
Newt rolled his eyes. “I’ll stop by to thank her later.”
“Good that.” Minho said.
Eating quickly to see Y/n sooner, Newt hurriedly dumped his empty tray. Using his second- in- command rank to get out of fifteen minutes of early work, Newt knocked on the side door of the kitchen.
Frypan opened it and once he saw who it was, closed it.
“Fry!” Newt protested.
“You’ll only distract her!” Frypan yelled back. “We need to start lunch.”
“Let me talk to my girlfriend!” Newt shouted. He heard Y/n’s laugh from behind the door and he involuntarily smiled at the sound of it.
“Frypan,” he heard you say, “I’ve finished the dishes- I’ll be two minutes.”
“Yeah, cause that’s all the stamina he has,” Frypan muttered.
Newt’s jaw dropped. The door suddenly opened and you pulled him away, chuckling nervously. “Did he just say-”
“He didn’t say anything!” You said quickly. “Now, what did you wanna talk about? Is something wrong?”
“Nothing’s wrong!” Newt assured you, “In fact, the opposite. I wanted to thank you for the pancakes. They were really good and everyone loved them.”
“Well, I just thought that you needed a picker- upper after last night,” you shrugged.
“What the shuck happened last night?!” Frypan’s voice cried through the door.
“Slim it!” You yelled in response.
Newt then wrapped you in an unexpected hug. “Thank you,” he murmured. “You’re a really great girlfriend. I love you. And I love that I can finally say that.”
You hugged him back. “I love you too, Newt,” you said. “And don’t you ever forget it.”
