Maybe it's not an Eros deficiency, but Eros saturation? Least that you can keep that back, until such images are viewed, like this movie. I haven't seen it, but I do get the idea.
You and I have a similar issue, that your venus is in the 12th house, my mars is there too. Course, for women and logos, it's a different issue. Having Mars in Scorpio, mine can "wage war" at times. Not in a brutal sense, necessarily. But in dreams it's dancing zen masters and swords and slaying beasts, and whatnot. Not necessarily my path's initial plan sts, but having the warrior mars -- nothing I can do about it but accept it. I'm just thankful for my venus trine.
I had a friend of mine who had venus in gemini. The week pluto went into opposition with his venus, his wife left him, devastated his world. But the entire marriage had been based on anima projection. She was a Libra, which was his Mars sign, so she had taken on the masculine role, and he expressed the more feminine role in the marriage. He was anima saturated. Which put upon a burden in the relationship -- while yes, she was a bitch in extremes, she had taken up with a man who she could manipulate and control. However willingly he went into that, upon being devastated by her leaving: a voice mail on the machine, cleaned out house, no explaination, except for a discovered letter to another man, in reality, whereby she would've appeared to have wanted someone to control, in reality she wanted someone to take the upper hand from her. When in reality he may have taken a back seat in the marriage, he needed to gain the courage to take the drivers seat once in awhile. The dance they did between each other had been reversed. He was well aware of that, but still wounded, he had to learn to get the beast into balance. For anima only projected so heavily to be recognized, so he could balance himself out, in his own role.
Years later, now he's married (consenquently to a Gemini) after burning through some painful healing, but necessary healing he had to do. He learned throughout that time to stand up for himself, not let women control him. Like a year before he met his current wife, whilst on the rebound, almost moved in a carbon copy of the former. Around that time, I told him, to stand up to her (which he picked up psychic shielding around this time), and he'd know what he was dealing with. When she tried to control him, and he did stand up, all hell broke loose. She saw she was losing control of him, and freaked out. Lucky for him, he did it in the nick of time, and got rid of the loser.
Anyway, anima for a man -- and I suspect gemini venus, can be critical and make a man feel insecure and unsure of himself. Least what I witnessed with him was this case. Your neptune opposition with venus (alone with a tee square to the midheaven) gives quite a bit attention to this. Esp. with the midheaven being in pisces.
We don't necessarily integrate anima/us, but we do integrate the projections, take them back and own them just the same. By integrating the projections, you'll see more clearly.
