True love is unconditional. That's a concept most people are, if we're being honest, incapable of truly understanding. We're brought up that love is *** -for-tat - I do this so you do that. I make you feel this way, you make me feel that way.
It's 'if I like what they like or I act a certain way, they'll love me back'.
If you do something wrong, the other person is within their rights to walk away.
Unconditional love is acceptance. It's also NOT about attachment.
Our concept of romantic love is based on attachment. We get with people - or stay with them unhappily - because we're scared to be lonely, or because we see what benefits they can bring to our lives.
I love your thoughts on unconditional love, I practice that a lot in my life. However for me Romantic Love and Unconditional Love can definitely go together, for me actually they have to go together bc that is the only way you can truly understand someone and accept them, only by loving them unconditionally you can let go of your ego and fears and then be able to go to that place that allows you to truly see them and understand them, to truly be able to understand their soul and who they truly are and not your expectation of who they should be.
I have an exact grand trine between Sun, Agapenor, and Alma conjunct Lust and my valentine noviles my sun so essentially agapenor and valentine are part of my Sun Novile Series.
Unconditional love can be both about acceptance and attachment but you make a CHOICE for the acceptance part to be stronger than the attachment part.
For example I love my ex unconditionally even though it has been around 15 years since we broke up. When you have a strong bond with someone an attachment develops but you can choose to love them without possessing them and placing demands on them even though you have romantic feelings for them. Is like romantic love is not a choice but unconditional love is something you practice and it is a choice. Unconditional love takes those romantic feelings you have to a whole another level and that is quite powerful when you combine those two.
