What impact does this transit have on us?
The Significance of Cupido in Astrology
The little asteroid Cupido (aka 763 Cupido), named after the Greek god Cupid, associated with feelings of love, desire, and attraction, resides in the main asteroid belt. Your birth chart reflects what you find attractive, and planetary motions influence the specific places and things that may spark your interest at any given time. Cupido inspires an ardor that transcends romantic partnerships. While you’re single, Cupido can affect what piques your interest in potential dates. It explains what keeps romantic desire strong, as well as how relationship-minded people can work to maintain that intensity. Understanding one’s own charisma is another area Cupido can help with.
Key aspects of 763 Cupido:
Playful and innocent love: Cupido, the playful and innocent love asteroid, stands for a less serious and more fleeting form of attraction than asteroid partners Eros and Venus. It represents the initial attraction, the butterflies in your stomach, and the thrill of developing a crush.
Short-term desire: Although this asteroid does not necessarily indicate long-term love, it does reflect the strong feelings and desires we have when we are first interested in someone romantically.
Flirting and attraction: Cupido determines the types of people we find attractive and how we attract them. It shows how we flirt and what we find attractive in the first place.
Artistic inspiration: Cupido can also take the form of an insatiable need for aesthetics, imagination, and the arts. A desire to pursue creative endeavors as a means of self-expression is one possible interpretation.
Cupido in Gemini 2024 – 2025
While Cupido in Gemini accelerates after a gradual buildup in Taurus, its influence tends to be more intellectually oriented in Gemini. Crushes can consume our thoughts, captivating our minds. Given Gemini’s association with the Twins, it is common for us to develop multiple crushes at the same time, with a particular emphasis on pairs.
In addition to crushes, we can also develop a deep passion for our ideas and plans, fully immersing ourselves in them. We can become deeply engrossed and highly enthusiastic about our opinions, thoughts, and ideas. Communications can take on a more intense and passionate tone, requiring us to ensure that the conversation is flowing smoothly.
On September 18, 2024, at 20 degrees Gemini, there is a powerful alignment between Cupido and transit Jupiter. Jupiter is known for its ability to amplify and enhance energy, allowing it to expand and grow. Given Jupiter’s positive influence, it can be quite beneficial, as long as we maintain control and prevent it from becoming overwhelming.
Cupido will be in retrograde motion from October 31st, 2024, to January 20th, 2025, seemingly moving backward, exclusively in the Gemini sign. This may be a time when we find ourselves grappling with our infatuations and fixations, either going to extremes or lacking the necessary enthusiasm from the start. We need to address any mental obstacles and actively engage in open communication to resolve issues.
The retrograde begins with a challenging aspect with Neptune and ends with Saturn in Pisces. Known for its mysterious nature, Neptune can challenge us to perceive things clearly and grasp the true extent of what requires attention and resolution. Saturn plays the role of a wise teacher, and as the retrograde comes to an end, we may find ourselves in a position where we need to learn valuable lessons regarding our passionate energy. The beginning takes place at 28 degrees 32 minutes Gemini, while the conclusion is at 14 degrees 44 minutes Gemini.
In Gemini, Cupido forms just one other conjunction, and that is with Amor, the asteroid associated with romance. Cupido and Amor come together at 24 degrees on November 30, 2024, both moving in a retrograde motion. Interestingly, Amor actually goes into retrograde just two days before Cupido does, and it happens in Gemini at 29 degrees.
Dealing with romantic love, affection, crushes, and infatuations can present certain challenges that require a unique approach, especially when both asteroids are in retrograde. There is a strong possibility of many individuals reuniting, particularly with those from your school or neighborhood (ruled by Gemini). This trend is likely to continue.
