Desire in the 7th house
The 7th house is marriage, partnership and open enemies. Eros here means desire looks for a partner rather than a lover: you are attracted to people who could be your equal and your other half. Relationships tend to be intense from the start because the erotic and the committed arrive together. What you want in bed and what you want in a marriage are the same person.
The gift
You bring passion into commitment, which many charts cannot. Marriages with this placement stay erotic; partners are wanted, not just kept.
The shadow
The shadow is desiring the relationship more than the person, and projecting your own erotic power onto a partner so that you feel wanted only when they act. Enemies can become oddly attractive.
Working with it
Want the person, then the partnership. Keep your own desire rather than waiting to receive it. Notice when conflict is doing the work attraction should.
