compulsively/ passionately/ obsessively but in a refined way which often finds release in creativity.

Though another astrologers claims she has to do with sex (the non-romantic kind ).
While there seems to be a strong sexual vibe to her, and she seems to come up in transits often when there is actually sex to be had, well I observed her more in the way I described above.

EDIT
If Sapphos is contacting Venus, Moon, Mars or Eros or ruler of 5th, 7th or 8th house in synastry, of course the other person will feel attracted, too, in the way their activated planet suggests.

yes, I´ve had that coming up as well, I think about 3 performers/ actors I liked (and curiously those 3 seemed to be focused on me in the audience - I suspect the reason for that being that somehow I must give back some kind of energy to them they can use to further their work, or something like that).

Anyway those 3 performers all had their Sappho in Aquarius conjunct my Moon, to varying degrees of closeness.
I guess somehow in this case my lunar expression must have triggered or furthered their creative expression (which was Sappho´s forte after all).

And yes, Sappho was known for her love of females, but actually she was not limited to homosexuality. The main point about her was the pure abandonment with which she threw herself into the feelings of love and then expressed them creatively (even if the love itself was not reciprocrated).

So I think while yes, it can occur in female to female attraction, limiting the asteroid`s meaning to that does not do it justice and is not even the main culprit. Of course that is just in my observation. But I observed Sappho quite a lot in female-male relationships and attractions as well, and there is something about those Sappho-attractions that is very intoxicating, passionate in a refined sense, and at the same time not always healthy to be honest, in its obsessive compulsiveness (though not stalker-like, just on an emotional level for the person whose Sappho is activated).

Sappho-Lilith- must be very obsessive and intense I guess.

It's amazing that you should have that connection with three people you were drawn to. I'm going to have a look through my astro folder checking Sappho connections, I've never used her before.

I met another female and we have the following: Sappho Trine Sun 1°37’
Sappho Conjunction Moon 2°39’
Sappho Trine Venus 3°35’

My Sappho is in her 5th house and hers is in my 11th house

I have not been attracted to a female before, but I feel like we have this intense sexual tension that is hard to deny. I realized when we are together she is always sharing food with me and drinking after me. At first I didn't think much, but I noticed she was always drinking from my cup etc... I want her in a way I haven't wanted anyone else and I think it totally freaked her out because I obviously shared how I felt. We have a lot of other intense aspects as well and a lot in the 7th and 8th houses.

Sappho is a blend of venus and Neptune. Lovey dovey with a heavy dose of unrealistic idealization. I would suspect some obsessive energy sprinkled in somewhere with what you are describing.
