Masterpost: Love Asteroids

Here are some of the more popular (and less popular) asteroids connected to love, romance, romantic feelings, sex, attraction, etc. The numbers listed next to them are their numbers on astro.com. Some of them are included in my Synastry Readings and Love/Partnership Readings. Enjoy!

Transits may show the timing of marriage (Transit Juno in 5th – commitment in a relationship, Transit Juno in 7/10th may represent marriage). Good sexual connection that lasts. Juno is also willing to make compromise and forgive betrayals. It can show problems with jealousy, especially in square aspects.
