Never Settle

Sun Opposition Pluto

There’s absolutely no way you’ll be willing to settle for anything less than exactly what you want right now, and you’ll happily dismiss anyone who tries to talk you into negotiating.–astrology.com

Yesterday my heart felt so huge and glowing—a bliss high from my weekend. Today I still feel the glow, but it’s coming from knowing I am living the life of my dreams, from deciding not to settle for anything less than what I want in in my life, including my relationships. This isn’t how they tell us love works. They tell us that you meet someone and magickally fall in love. My experience is that when I have an irresistible attraction to someone, that the attraction often masks many incompatibilities, and leads to me losing my sense of what is right for me.

I’m having a really different experience right now of watching my relationship with my beloved grow slowly and gently, in stages. At each stage I gently stop and look to see whether this is still working for me. Is it what I want? And more important, is it what Spirit wants for me? So far the answer is a resounding YES. It feels good to know that never again will I settle for less than a full expression of the love I know I can create with another.
