Lot of Eros

Meaning

The Lot of Eros in ancient texts is defined as "what they will feel deep passion for, what they will keep seeking" — not only romantic love, but everything that pulls the self. Calculated from Spirit and Venus: the intersection of willed direction and aesthetic-desire. Whichever house it sits in, the native is drawn lifelong to that area's topic; the heartbeat is there. When the loved thing differs from the true love, Eros shows the true one. In modern therapy language: the astrological equivalent of "drive."
