Transit Eros Opposition Natal Sun
Desire confronts self
This transit draws a bright line between who you think you are and what your body and heart actually want. Eros arrives as a mirror in the form of another person, a fixation, or a sudden creative pull, and the Sun feels both provoked and illuminated. It asks you to meet your longing without abandoning your center.

Oppositions wake us by way of the other. With Eros across from the Sun, desire doesn’t stay theoretical; it steps into the room, looks you in the eye, and asks your name. You may feel unusually visible, aroused, competitive, or consumed by a specific attraction or idea. The heat reveals blind spots in self-image: where you’ve been playing it safe, where pride tries to manage longing, where shame has been masquerading as restraint. It’s not just about sex; it’s the raw appetite for aliveness, for being chosen, for creating something that makes the heart pound.
Working with this energy doesn’t mean obeying every impulse. It means letting the want speak in clear sentences and listening for the truth underneath. When you can stay present with the heat without outsourcing it to fantasy or picking a fight, the Sun grows more honest and more generous. The task is to hold a conversation between identity and desire — to let the heart’s signal refine how you shine, not hijack it. Integration looks like choosing from the center, while allowing Eros to color your choices with courage, vulnerability, and unmistakable life.
Life Areas & Expression
Relationships & Connection
Attraction intensifies, as if someone or something is calling you out of hiding. Conversations about desire, boundaries, and visibility become pivotal, revealing how you seek both closeness and recognition.
Work & Purpose
A project or collaboration may light you up, challenging you to align passion with integrity. Notice where you’re tempted by applause alone, and redirect the spark toward work that feels soul-true.
Creativity & Expression
Inspiration arrives with a rush, sometimes messy and insistent. Let the friction move through your hands and voice; the piece you’re avoiding may be the one that finally sounds like you.

This moment is an invitation to metabolize longing instead of outsourcing it. Pause when the heat spikes; name what you want, then ask what need sits beneath it: to be seen, to feel alive, to risk, to create. When the center holds, desire becomes a messenger, not a master.
Let yourself be moved, not swept away. As you practice staying present with what turns you on — person, path, or project — you build a self that can host intensity without collapsing into performance or retreat. The heart gets braver, and your light becomes more specific, more yours.
I let desire reveal the shape of my light.
