Lovers' Profile for Eric & Lyn

Eric's Natural Mate

When Eric was born, the "Goddess of Love" was in Cancer the Crab. So, does Eric have a thing for "crabby" people? Or for ones with shells? Well, the latter point is worth exploring. A shell is a protective device, and sensitivity always requires protection. Eric's romantic heart is a sensitive one; once Eric's been hurt, Eric is slow to open up a second time. The natural lover has some of the same properties, but more importantly, is the sort of person who respects and understands the origins of that cautious quality in Eric. Together, they form a very private, interior, secret world of intimacy, full of little mysteries, shared fantasies, pet names, and code words. Eric's natural lover isn't "domestic" in any belittling sense--nothing dull or sexless is implied. But, apart from the time it takes to properly honor the gravity of the decision, such a soul has no serious hesitation when it comes to deep commitment, or to the expectation that a "marriage" should be a life-long proposition. Home, and the mutual caring and healing that happens there, quickly become the center of gravity for the bond.

Lyn's Natural Mate

When Lyn was born, the "Goddess of Love" was in Capricorn the Sea-Goat. So, does Lyn have a thing for goats? Not likely...the Sea-Goat is an ancient attempt to design a metaphor for one who can take on almost any project, no matter how difficult: climbing mountains, crossing oceans, and so forth. This doesn't imply superhuman powers, only a very high degree of self-discipline and focus, and probably intense ambition in some sense of that word: the drive to be the best singer-songwriter in town is no more or less likely here than any conventional "corporate" kind of ambition, by the way. For Lyn, that kind of determination and intensity of purpose is a terrific aphrodisiac. The natural lover is a person of considerable emotional maturity--one of the reasons the early books used to say this meant Lyn would "marry someone older." Such an individual is eminently capable of making and keeping a vow, has little patience for wimpy emotional self-indulgence, and probably thinks that taking care of the "inner child" is fine, as long as we don't spoil it.
