Grand Cross Or No, This Is What Love Has Done For Me
Ask the collective
I got in an conversation tonight and was asked what I wanted. I responded:
I am getting married… very, very happy. I want for nothing right now.
Boy, it’s a hell of feeling. I have it before but it’s been fleeting and I knew in the moment it would be.
This time my feelings are deep and I think I can get back here from anywhere, at any time, with very little effort.
This is what love has done for me.
What has love done for you?

OMG Lupa you have summed it up beautifully!!! I feel secure and safe (venus in Cancer) being me!!!
See about the Venus in Cancer bit??? I am actually learning here on this site with little effort since I enjoy it here so much!!! xoxo
They said it so well, I’m gonna nod in agreement. After 18 years of apathy and disinterest in me and my kids, I now have a man who would move mountains for me and/or my kids. And does so, at times. It’s absolutely exactly as Lupa said: It freed me, and it anchored me. I’m finally a domesticated Cancer! I always wondered what the hell was up with that anti-domesticated thing…now I know I just needed it to be noticed and appreciated!
I am not in a relationship right now, but have never felt stronger, more solid, or more …appreciative…of those I love. I cannot deny the enormous amount of healing that has taken place for me over the past few years.
It’s amazing to me. Love fills me with wonder..
Anyway…wanted to say that I swear I could FEEL the affection in Elsa’s writing tonight, short but deep. It’s one of the reasons I like this blog. Thanks Elsa.

Poignant.
Love showed me the best and worst of myself. Love made me feel happy about being me, made me want to change, made me want to move mountains. Love sank me into despair, into a hole I couldn’t see the end of. Love fucks me over in all kinds of ways, what can I say? *smiles* How could it not — Venus hits everything in my chart.
I used to have a love-hate relationship with love because I tried to fit in with the traditional and stereotyped roles. When I just let it flow out of me, I had the most splendid time ever, having a real good time about being me. My rule of thumb is, if I can be myself in this love business, then I’m all for it. For better or worse.
Love is a journey. I have often wondered if I have a pathological relationship with love no matter my partner, but as I am getting older and learning each and everday, I am realising that love is my teacher. I have Venus in Pisces in the 7th. I once saw a cartoon in the Mountain Astrologer of a pretty lady with a really down and out guy and it said something about always finding and seeing the divine in the other. Yes, love has f’cked me over big time and I long to be contained. I am compelled by relationship and working on my power sharing capacity - Mars in Scorpio - but for all the lessons I can still say that love is my greatest mystery of all.
Love has given me a family I can depend on, always, even when my blood family can’t understand me. They love me anyway, but it’s different.
Love has saved me from myself.
What a great question.
I’d have to agree with Lupa and diastella. Love has grounded me in something real, and has also been a great teacher.
Love is why I am here. Love has shaped me into the person I am today in this moment. It has changed me, it has helped me to be less self centered and to see that much of life is about loved ones. I am so grateful for this.
I love the feeling of being so fulfilled that I can’t think of anything I want or need… I love that a hug brings me the greatest feeling in the world… I love that it doesn’t take much to make me happy.
I love love.
