Keywords

Attention to detail, practice and mastery

General Love Meaning

Practice advances in different areas of life. You may be learning a new way to communicate with your partner or attending couples counseling to improve your relationship. It's always worthwhile to take small steps that improve your life and your relationships. Continue with what you've started learning; it will serve you for many years to come.

Single and Loving It!

This is a sign to shift your focus from quantity to quality in your relationships. Perhaps you have many acquaintances in your life but not many people who know you well. Or maybe you've been buying all the self-care tools but not using them. Focus on the quality of what you dedicate your time to doing, not just the quantity you have.

Ready for Love / Dating

Be present with people when you spend time with them. Arrive on time. Don't send text messages or take phone calls when you have a date (unless it's an emergency). Avoid dominating the conversation and listen to your date. If you're on the receiving end of this behavior, address it to resolve it or get rid of them!

Committed Relationship

It's no coincidence that you have a trusting relationship. All your hard work is worthwhile. If this is something you're still working toward, the magic and rewards come with the work. It's not about destiny; relationships are living, changing things. Each day is an opportunity to create the relationship you want.

Struggling Relationship

Trust breaks in many ways. One subtle way this can happen is when someone doesn't say what they mean and doesn't mean what they say. Small disappointments over time can become big deals. This must be corrected as soon as possible so that trust can be slowly rebuilt.

The End

You now have the opportunity to drastically change the direction of your life and rekindle your passion for your life's purpose. Spend some time researching things that make your heart sing. The world is completely open to you now. Even if you make some decisions that aren't solid, it's good to know which ones you have.

Visual Description

A man reclines against another who sits close behind, arm draped around his shoulder in an intimate pose. A framed board on the wall shows eight pentacles connected by lines in a network. In the foreground a small table holds two frosted cupcakes on a tray, a glass bottle and several glasses. The room has a bright yellow background, both figures wear greenish clothing, and a wooden box with a carved heart is visible near their legs.
