From what I can see, there seems to be a dominant theme regarding new or developing romances amoungst couples
and that is:
Fear - of rejection - giving love and not having it return
Fear - of a broken heart - giving yourself and losing that person you gave yourself to.
Insecurity
Vulnerability
The need to protect oneself from potential emotional pain
Communication problems

These are human things not limited to a particular Sun sign. Humans are beautifully complex.
Love can raise us to amazing heights or create intense pain, it IS such a powerful force.
However, we are the power within ourselves, this Earth plane & these physical human bodies we inhabit (temporarily) by their very nature provide certain limitations, in part due to our soul evolutionary progress. I believe, that part of our journey here, on Earth, is to develop and learn to raise our consciousness above those lower vibrational energies of our root chakra, energies of pure self preservation & survival, to a higher vibration, where we can 'let go' of these fears and feel safe in knowledge and understanding that these experiences are purposeful and do have meaning - to empower us - free us from the heavy emotions that weigh us down and stunt us.

But we can only move higher when we are willing to let go of that lower vibrational fear within ourselves. Hopefully, if we keep pushing ourselves higher, we can, as a collective human race, move beyond distructive fear toward purposeful creation and hold that vibration. Currently we are ebbing & flowing between the two. Opening up to and embracing that love and connection we all need but without the fear of losing it. A higher vibrational love has a differant energy to the lower vibrational love which contains fear.
We need to learn to stand free in our own power yet still connect meaningfully with others.

But it's the connect meaningfully with others that's in the smallprint, isn't it?

Being fearless can be strong in many contexts, and weak in others. Being in love with the world comes at a direct proportional loss to being in love with one person.

Really depends if you want to make the most of this lifetime or the next. And there'll be many points in our lives where we decide one takes priority over the other, then back again. That's what keeps it fun I suppose, the back and forth.

Like Nemesis said the other day, maybe it's more about the journey than the destination.

It is always about the moment, the journey, two people should always traveling, together, it is about discovery, always changing and finding ways to grow, to develop, to learn, no one should reach any destination.

There are two ways to be unhappy in life- the inability to have what we desire, or getting what we have been desiring all along. Therefore, never look at the two points, look at everything that could be experienced in between.

Wow. That's exceptional. Its funny but when you start to really focus you can feel the difference between higher and lower vibrations. It takes practice but once you get the hang of it, it starts to become fairly standard.

My only comment is that humans shouldn't be so hard on themselves if they find themselves leaning toward fear in the beginning of a relationship. It completely normal and just something that needs to be worked through. Don't beat yourself up over it. Recognize your own humanity and press on. 🙂

Of course, agreed 🙂

Not exactly fear per se in the beginning, more of a healthy appetite of caution, after all we are responsible of our own well being, the key being this- never let that caution over power us, those walls will eventually cause more harm on the self than to others.

You know what? That's actually exactly the verbatim I needed to hear. A part of my has been anxious and unhappy for the last week, because in work I have actually gotten exactly what I'd been asking and hustling for.

Now I see I have to make a new mini-journey out of that. I just needed the words.

Thanks again.

Pleasure Tiz, chin up always, even this shall eventually pass...

Go out there and experience the world, re-discover what you had once thought were coloured before, you might find new things which you had missed the first time around.

I'm wondering what thread this was written in.

Um, geez.
I had no idea LadyScorpio created this thread back in April.

It was in response to someone else's thread.
I think the original thread has disappeared now, along with the person who created it.

Was a moment of reflection, and the latter part being something I aspire too....a work in progress it is.

Awww man...Well thanks for responding. I just wanted to know the context to see if it would stimulate more thought on a problem I am struggling with.

Ummm, not sure what happened, got cut off. Anyway, it is something I constantly think about and happened to stumble on the thread.

I lack the patience required (of self) to work through this, but I am working on it. Everyday.
