to look across the way into the far mirror. Love is like that, an opportunity to see yourself in another. You attract partners according to your own demeanor. In the family that you came from, you were taught to act a certain way. This visible personality is like an open request for a partner to complete it's expression. We are mostly unconscious of how we make contact with our type of partner, knowing little about what we are doing to supply the spark that will ignite two people into partners. All we know is that we seem to be acting out a pattern. Love is built on hope of understanding and cooperation between people. We all hope to get our needs met through a relationship. Do you truly know yourself? Having a partner is a wonderful way to find out who you are. Ask any Libra or Taurus, they will agree. Love is how you find out who you are. Giving and relating is a way to join the larger humanity with compassion and understanding. To remain alone is a sign, some say, of immaturity. I can not agree that wanting to be alone is immature because I am a mystic and spiritual seeker who obeys the inner laws. That means that I seek appropriate expression for the outer world, but my true commitment is to God. I sometimes must be alone, as we all must at times. But you can understand your Libra friend. She says that life is not worth living if you are alone. She knows the seventh house like a book. Libras live to relate, and the seventh house is their world. The Goddess rules "sociality." You have partners in life that are not romantic. Your doctor, hairdresser, tailor, bookkeeper or handyman is a partner to you, hopefully a good and skilled partner. We must pair up with those who have skills we need. For example, I am a working partner to my clients. My job is to communicate about things that my client cannot see objectively. I am a partner to anyone who uses my service, and I perform the partner function of showing you what you have been unconscious of. The partner who is the main romantic interest is the one most people ask me about. They are with someone, and so life is established through the context of being together. Some people can’t imagine being alone. Many people ask about loneliness, and they feel victimized by the Universe because they are alone. I know it is great to have the successful experience of partnership, but it is not for everyone. However, we were not made to be alone, either. My solution to many problems is to point out that the horoscope has two love departments. One is the house of pleasure, the fifth house. The other one is the house of partnership. It is a love house and it should be a pleasure to partner. but it is agonizing pain also. It hurts to see yourself. If you are not happy with your main squeeze, you may have chosen a partner who reflects back a distorted image You may feel that you look a certain way in their eyes and they can never see you differently. I say, it is all the power of love to transform and connect us in a true union. and this is only possible when we set out ego aside.. More to come! |
| The houses refer to place or setting for life on Earth. In this series, I will share some real insider stuff about each house. The science and the geography of the houses is less important than the poetry of them. I hope to fill your need for a lightening fast comprehension of your own inner thoughts of the past, when you had questions about the reality you live in. Perhaps you will be inspired to observe the stage we all play on, that fiction we call the houses of the horoscope. |
