TRUE LOVE (Page 2)

I have venus in the 12th house... I'm still trying to make sense of it.

Oh Shaka! *falling to knees and raising fist* Why, WHY?!

Seriously though, he was good at this thing as well.

I don't believe in "soul mates" per se. The idea that out of however many billion people are out there that only one of them would be my match is quite depressing actually. We'd have better odds at winning the lottery multiple times than finding that one true love.

What if they were born on the other side of the world? What if they were in an accident and died young?

I think that finding that true love has more to do with you than it does that a single soul mate. Are you able to open up to someone? Can you be vulnerable? Are you worth someone else opening up to?

I think a lot of people stick to the "one true love" idea because after they were hurt before they are never willing to take that chance again. Before they were hurt they could feel that kind of love... afterward, it just isn't the same.

I've been in love. I've had that person that I would have done anything for, who I'd kill for or die to protect. It didn't last forever. Does that mean I'm SoL? I think not... unless I let it ruin me. If it makes me afraid to love or trust again then yes I'll never "have another one like her"; but, if I let go of the past and look to the future... why not?

Thanks for your insight, LibraSid. Never thought about the fact that if people refuse to open up after being hurt, they could possibly miss out on an opportunity to have another soulmate(s). My thinking was always that 'soulmates' was in a sense more about what the universe did for two people. In any event, makes for good reflection.

This is such an awesome site and I love how everyone shares their experiences and interpretations! I believe that soul-mates are much stronger and have more depth than "true love" because love is something that I feel can be undone to some degree. As time passes, people grow and sometime perceptions. Finding a soul-mate is much deeper because I feel that it is a connection that is destined to happen and not by chance. I came upon an old HS friend that I used to like and visa versa; but nothing transpired. We had both graduated but lost contact and then he contacted me from out of nowhere. We reconnected but then lost contact again. I looked for him through the years and he looked for me and eventually we found each other. We are both in situations and have our own families; however, he is absolutely wonderful and is my very best friend and if our situations were different I'm sure that we would be together. Sometimes I feel as though even if we didn't look for each other, we would have crossed paths at some point in our lives.

Yes, all of the different interpretations are quite interesting, jewels319. I love the whole crosing paths thing.
