Qutoe:
"In mythology, ERato was the muse of lyric and love poetry. The asteroid Erato represents emotional inspiration. If one person?`s Erato contacts another persons chart, the Erato-errson is likely to be inspiring to the other person in the area of life relating to the other person`s planet or asteroid. Erato may be thought of as the muse in its purest form - the inspiration of one person by another person, place or thing."

and

"It may be a little difficult to disntinguish the actions of Erato from those of Eros (passion) or Sappho (sexuality). Erato, however, represents the inspiration of love, not the consummation of it."

and

"Erato contacts in synastry suggest that one person is capable of being the Muse for the other. The Erato-person is the Muse to the planet/ asteroid-person. Cross Erato contacts indicate that each individual can play that role for the other. The Muse function in hte case of Erato shows the inspiration, the hope of love, not its conclusion or eventual course."

I would add Sappho, too, though Sappho differs in a way that it is HER who receives the inspiration and expresses it, and of course Sappho differs also in that she strives for consummation of the longing.

found something by Kim Falconer on Erato

"Erato reminds me of Sappho though perhaps a little lighter, less intense.

She is know as the "Lovely" is the muse of love poetry and mimicry, and is seen with a Lyre and a crown of fragrant roses."

Also I would add the asteroid MUSA (600), as encompassing all muses, but maybe also as a symbol for music or the importance of music, as the word music is derived from Greek "musa".

Other muses that I found are:

Calliope (22): epic poetry
Erato (62): love poetry
Euterpe 27): music
Melpomene (18): tragedy
Polyhymnia (33): sacred hymns
Terpsichore (81): dance
Thalia (23): comedy

Of these Sappho and Erato seem to be most emotionally involved.

- she was already an established poet, he admired her for it and started writing poems of his own; but he apparently did not want a solely creative union with her; I guess today we would call that a little bit of stalking, what he did.

his Sappho conjunct her Sun (1)
his Sappho conjunct her Mercury exact

I suppose he didn`t stand a chance, especially with these Sappho-conjunctions (of course it means he wouldn`t stay content with her staying "just" his muse, and his persistence payed off, at least for a time).
And ERato on 8th house cusp is SO Layla, unbelieavable.

(I only take housecusps into consideration if the conjunction is exact, under one degree; here it is 2 minutes of arc!)

also his Sappho contraparallels her Sun-Mercury
his Sappho parallels her Chiron

Interesting. Anything else hit you about the planets?
