SYMBOL: It is the glyph of Jupiter with the glyph of Venus. Cupido is the 'higher octave' of Venus on a more
physical level (childbirth) whereas Neptune is the highest octave, denoting a more spiritual facet of Venus. It is
the Greek god, Eros, or "love".
MEDICAL RULERSHIPS OF CUPIDO:
1. Getting pregnant--Cupido/Venus, Cupido/Mars, Cupido/Jupiter, Cupido/Zeus, Cupido/Apollon (twins or
multiple births).
2. Birth of a child.
3. Labor begins.
4. Fertility (or lack of it--Cupido/Hades, Cupido/Saturn or Cupido/Admetos denotes inability to be fertile or
miscarriages Cupido/Uranus or bacterial/virus causes infertility problems Cupido/Neptune).
5. Miscarriage--Cupido/Admetos, Cupido/Saturn, Cupido/Neptune or Cupido/Uranus
6. Childbirth via surgery or C-section: Cupido/Uranus, Cupido/Mars
7. Fetal distress/strangulation by cord around neck of fetus during birthing--Cupido/Neptune, Cupido/Admetos

8. Twins or multiple births, are born--Cupido/Apollon

9. Health problems in relation to break-up with spouse.
10. Health problems in relation to family problems/stresses on the Cupido person.
11. Copdependency issues are magnified here; person has a victim's mentality, and may have health problems
that result in this 'give-give-give' scenario; leaching off of Cupido's energy psychically, they become drained,
their adrenals depleted, etc., and immune system goes down. Getting out of their codependent behavior will
resolve this.
12. Over-responsible one in the family--first born, or person who takes care of the family when they are young--
too young, to do so. This sets up Cupido who is stressed out, used/abused by other family members. To resolve
it, Cupido needs to break old conditional familial patterns from the past and let others be responsible for
themselves.
13. Community involvement which drains Cupido, or uses/abuses the privilege of their community-minded
reality. Stress on the immune system results.
14. Group involvement which drains Cupido, or uses/abuses the privilege of their community-minded reality.
Stress on the immune system results.
15. Problem with their children which uses/abuses the privilege of their child-minded reality. Stress on the
immune system results.
16. Chief "care-giver" which uses/abuses the privilege of their responsibility to spouse/children/family reality.
Stress on the immune system results. They get burned out/fatigued/used up and exhausted.
17. Trying to please others to the detriment of their own needs/wants/desires/goals/dreams. Another facet of
victim/codependent behavior.
18. They have been trained to "give, give, give" but not to "take." They were taught 'taking' was selfish. This
pattern must be broken or poor health will result, eventually, for them.
19. They spread themselves too thin for family, group, and community-minded projects and responsibilities and
stress themselves out. The original "Super Mom" who wants to "do it all"--but there is a price for this reality.
20. An orphan. Adopted. Cupido/Admetos, Cupido/Saturn.
21. Rejected by the family which sets up an incredible stress that can result in disease--unless Cupido can see
the positive benefits of no longer being aligned with the dysfunctional family unit.
22. Death or unexpected chronic illness in the family puts undue stress on Cupido.
23. Tragedy in the family--usually 'close' family connection, but can include aunts, uncles and grandparents as
well.

PSYCHOLOGICAL UNDERPINNINGS OF CUPIDO

1. Cupido people are elegant looking, dress well, fashionably and are extremely social.
2. Their world centers on their family, their children (most of all), and their community. They are intimately
tied to and understand the tenet "we are all connected" energetically with one another.
3. You will find them active in the community in numerous ways. They are social organization joiners and
worker bees and helpers. They serve the poor at a soup kitchen, or they create their own.
4. They are the type to join the Lion's club, the Soroptomist Club, etc.
5. They believe in working TOGETHER. They understand that one is strong, but two is stronger, concept.

7. "All for one; one for all" is their motto.
8. Gangbanger--will join a gang, if nothing else.
9. Within corporations, these people are in the Personnel department or work within the corporation for the
people who are a part of it. Team leaders. Union leaders. Group leaders.
10. They are very unhappy being single. Marriage, to them, is the ultimate. They NEED a partner in order to
feel "whole". Divorce is very shattering to them; more so than any other Uranian planet.
11. The devastation of a loss of a child, spouse, parent or a part of their family plays powerful havoc on them
and often, they will get a disease six months to a year after the loved one dies.
12. They like the consensus of people approving what they do; but this can get into a victimization/crutch-like
situation if not watched.
13. They do things to receive the 'pat on the head' for good work.
14. They are creative people, highly artistic, and may be found in any 'creative' kind of career such as a painter,
artist, owner of a flower shop, sewing clothing, creating fashion clothing, a business partnership (this is best for
them--they aren't going to start a business on their own), grant writers, philanthropic organizations, any kind
of art medium expression, works in governmental office at city, state or federal level, kindergarten teacher, day
care helper, grade-school teacher, works for 911, works in a crisis center, or any kind of function involving
'group' or 'community' ties.
HEALING TOOLS FOR CUPIDO

2. Home is their base of operation.
3. Having family members around helps them heal (provided they aren't the cause of more friction/stress).

left alone to heal up).
5. Home is the "chicken soup" to help an ailing Cupido person get well.
6. Drawing, sketching, and painting are doorways to the soul of Cupido--to draw them out or to heal them up.
7. Suggest taking an art class to them.
8. Suggest painting the rooms in the house, new wallpaper or carpet--something within the home to spur their
interest and get them focused and healthy.

them interested.

make a line of herbal unguents. Or urge them to make flower essences since they love flowers so much in every
form.
14. Fresh flowers and living plants in their room where they are ill, helps them. Bring them some pots and seeds
and have them grow them in the room.
15. Have music they like, where they are convelescing. Music heals their spirit and inspires their soul. Music
THEY like--not what YOU like!
FLOWER and GEMSTONE ESSENCE CONSIDERATIONS FOR CUPIDO:
1. Willow--the 'crutch' essence to help the person stand on their own two feet to express themselves.
2. Desert Paintbrush--to tap into their artistic vein instead of leaning on others, or supporting others in urging
them to be creative; they learn to honor what they bring to the table and express it.
3. Owls Clover--for those who are of a victim consciousness or codependent in behavior.
4. Desert Globemallow--so that Cupido can see herself clearly and all the wonderful artistic skills and
organizational skills she has. Change of perception about ourselves; perceiving ourselves more clearly.
5. Yarrow (all colors)--for those who cannot say "no" to a person, group, their family, etc. This instills strong,
clear,healthy boundaries for the person who is a victim or codependent.
6. Delilah Rose--useful for pregnant mothers. This is called the child birth essence. Gives nurturing support to
the mother particularly in the last trimester.
7. Amber--helps to ground Cupido and supply organizational endurance in the project(s) they choose to
undertake. It also gives them a realistic expectation of what they can or can't do so they don't give away
themselves at thier expense.
8. Agate--protects the victim/codependent Cupido and stops the leaching of psychic energy from them by
others.
9. Black tourmaline--stops the sucking of energy from them by another person or group. Powerful and
protecting.

complete the given task. Great for mothers with a new baby in the family.
