The Twelve Initiations of Love
(excerpted from Linda Goodman's Love Signs Vol. 1 - Harper & Row Publishers, N.Y.C., 1978)
In each of the following experiences, man or woman is fully capable of giving
and teaching others the first quality, but for the personality to learn the second quality is a struggle.
When one's understanding of this second quality equals that of the first, he
or she has achieved mastery of a particular sun sign. The soul must pass more than once through the first six Initiations of love as :
ARIES the infant -- I am -- to teach that love is innocence and learn that love is trust.
TAURUS the baby -- I have -- to teach that love is patience and learn that love is forgiveness.
GEMINI the child -- I think -- to teach that love is awareness and learn that love is feeling.
CANCER the adolescent -- I feel -- to teach that love is devotion and love is freedom.
LEO the teenager -- I will -- to teach that love is ecstasy and learn that love is humility.
VIRGO the adult -- I analyze -- to teach that love is pure and learn that love is fulfillment.
After achieving emotional maturity in these first six stages of
development, man and woman must then pass through loves Final Six Initiations, (more than once) to discover its deeper spiritual meaning in:
LIBRA marriage -- I am -- to teach that love is beauty and learn that love is harmony.
SCORPIO sex -- I desire -- to teach that love is passion and learn that love is surrender.
SAGITTARIUS knowledge -- I see -- to teach that love is honesty and learn that love is loyalty.
CAPRICORN experience -- I use -- to teach that love is wisdom and love that is unselfish.
AQUARIUS idealism -- I know -- to teach that love is tolerance and learn that love is Oneness.
PISCES submission -- I believe -- to teach that love is compassion and learn that love is All.
