I feel talking about love and seeing it, really does heal my broken heart. It kinda gives me this refreshed feeling when I see my two Pisces friends together as couple or hearing about my best Aries friend zaney suitors and my Leo friend's shy crush on Mr. Ballsy and Loud in Creative Writing.

Plus I've never really got the chance to really integrate myself into LL, I am always posting questions regarding myself and my personal life through my topics but with this topic, the spotlight is on all of you lovely LL members.

How do you love and when do feel or know you are loved, and do you have any of you have any advice on love in general.

Plus what sign and house is your Sun,Moon, Rising,Venus, and Mars and what aspects do you have to your Venus(love), Mars(attraction), and Moon(emotions)?

Hmm I am not having the obvious placement for this sentence I guess:

I feel love when he reciprocates back even if its not like the way I gave it to him, but his love laungage. He leaves lil notes and cards on my car window or around for me to see. He stares at me with a twinkle in his eye..He asks me how did I sleep when I wake up in the morning at his home. He makes me tea when I am not feeling well. He feeds me ice cream. When he is just being considerate of me period..

I have definetly been feeling the love..

generosity and gratitude torwards Life.

It is the forever conection.That holds us to Life,and also to embrace Death - for Death is the passage that permit us to Be with those we love,in Light and Grace.

I feel free and unlimited when in Love.

Love in its highest form is the feeling you get when you're close to "God." I don't think many of us will feel that kind of love in our lifetimes.

I could answer this indepth but I think that love is simply a combo of value (not in the material sense), attachment, and unconditional acceptance. I was also espoused to once that its a state of mind translated into a state of being which I also agree with.

I guess I know I love the person once I accept them in the same way I accept my family members and not want to run in sight of their flaws. This isn't really specific to romance either. By way of actions: I doing things for them without any expectations. Its weird though that I have a gemini venus, but the L word is not so easy for me to say. I do enjoy it in the form of words, but actions deffo have to back it up for me to believe it.

Most people realize they fell in love with someone because they feel a huge boost in ecxitement and can't stop thinking about the other person. Get all romantic, dreamy and stuff.

But once the relationship settles in, you realize most people love the gains/benefits of love more than the lover itself. By benefits I mean things like feeling more valuable, secure, beautiful, entertained, stimulated and all pleasures that love gives.

Then, because the other person is only human and eventual differ from the idealized lover, we start hearing things like "you don't make me happy enough/anymore", "you are not enough like this", "you are too much like that". And maybe the relationship breaks. And/or maybe people cheat on eachother and/or substitute each other very fast, like a battery that doesn't power us to where we want to go, so we throw it away and try a different battery.

To me, most people don't "love", they "need". And that's because deep down, most people don't love themselves enough and need others to fill in their gaps. The void in their heart. They need others to help them relate less painfully with themselves. It makes me sad.

So to answer your question, in my opinion, Loving requires first, that you love yourself enough (in a healthy way) to be happy on your own and enjoy life that way. If you have that, you'll be free to contemplate the beauty of another person's soul, which you find to have a sublime beauty, for no justifiable reason (though you could name many qualities in that person). Love beyond gain.

To me, love, is looking into a woman's eyes and smile, and wanting to give her all that I am. Making HER happy. How does it make me feel? Free, creative and deeply grateful.

I feel loved when someone I love looks at me and touches me and I can tell from his eyes and his touch how much he loves me.

Babeefoxx, I don't know that Cancer moons ever fall out of love, but I think you know a relationship is over when you have no desire to be around that person any longer, or your passion turns to someone else.

I feel weak but the crisis seems to be finally letting up.

That is one aspect of true love when one's beloved is not put out by having to take of a very sick mate.

OK...
later
Still not up to par.

I agree with Lara, DD, and Kamots, when in romantic love with someone I am definitely myself. I feel or rather have learned that is very important.

Love has been a journey inward for me. I have always felt like I was searching for that perfect soulmate, who could love and empathize on the same level that I can. I have come to realize that I love on a different level than most people and the only thing that can return my love in a way that satisfies me is the Divine from which love and light originate. Through that cosmic circle I have become satisfied with my lifepath on Earth, and no longer crave that soulmate, because it was only love I was craving, and I am, we are all are, loved everyday and when we slow down and really live in the now, it truly is amazing how much love you can see the Universe pouring out in your behalf.
So love to me is a one way street. It is the most powerful energy we conduct here on Earth. And I give it freely to all who come into my life, and I try to do it in a way that is most beneficial to them. I don't ask for it back because I no longer need it. For me this was a life changing experience, this Energy called Love.

Amazingly enough l got pregnant straight away with him which l saw as an omen but then with the stress of my life as it is at the moment l just had a miscarriage this morning which is sad and yet l firmly believe everything happens for a reason. I wasn't ready.
Interestingly, my asteroid CHILD was exact conjunct my sun when l conceived too!!! (IQ told me)
If l am Aqua AC then all that stellium was on my AC, bringing on my "sudden" pregnancy and then taking it just as suddenly!

I'm really sorry that you miscarried.

That you are in such a good place in yourself and have attracted this person who is supportive and loving and understanding is a reflection of who you are and the work you've done and your growth.

KAMOTS I so agree with all you have written, you put it so elequantly. I too am a pisces sun and mercury with aries rising and you are the first i've come across. Was beginning to think I was the only one!!

Thank you my friend

ONERULEDBYMARS: What a great experience you had! I agree that only a spiritual connection to what you call the Universe/Divine (which I call God) can fulfill us to the point where we gain such an abundance of love that we don't "need" to be loved back to be happy. This doesn't mean that other people's love has no effect upon us. In fact, it makes us even happier and in the case of romantic love, it doesn't really make sense if the other person doesn't love us back and just feeds on what we give. We can't really Create something together that way.

LEXX: Hang in there! It's a tough time now, but you'll be better soon and we look forward to hearing better news from you

I enjoyed yours as well. Very well written. It must be that Mercury in Pisces that makes you write so poetically.
Great post!

I also so liked the point you just made regarding when someone doesn't love us the same way.

You are so right! It doesnt make sense at all. I have learned to walk away but there is always this momentary feeling of confusion. And then I just shake my head and chalk it up as another love lost.
Another soulmate bites the dust!
But I have to keep on movin...
