We all talk about love a lot. We ‘love’ our friends’ posts on social media. We love the new Netflix series we are binging, we love the cauliflower crust pizza, and, of course, we love our family and friends. We love our country, our car, our dog, and our favorite band, too.

The truth is, within the heart is plenty of room for the fascinating, the frivolous, and the functional. We use the word ‘love’ to describe things that bring us joy, make us laugh, and inspire us.

We also have plenty of room in our hearts for the people in our lives. There are a lot of different ways that we feel love for people. We feel romantic love, parental love, familial love and platonic love. Sometimes our relationships with the people we love bring us a sense of happiness, safety, pride, and companionship. Sometimes they bring us grief and sorrow.

When we consider our closest relationships, the obvious goal is that we should love each other unconditionally. What does unconditional love mean?

Unconditional love is generally defined as love with no strings attached. Unconditional love is not based on action, transaction, or negotiation.

Unconditional love is necessary because we are all human, and humans are imperfect. Unconditional love means that we love each other knowing that we will sometimes fall short of each other’s expectations, and we will sometimes make mistakes.

Unconditional love does not mean that we can’t hold each other accountable, or that we shouldn’t have boundaries with each other.

Unconditional love is reserved for those people closest to us. When we are able to give and receive unconditional love, we enjoy a special blessing.

Unconditional love allows us to operate from a place of emotional security that helps us grow, heal, and explore life in a fearless way.

Join us for a Tarot Class on Zoom

Tarot is a book of spiritual wisdom in picture form. With it, we are able to learn about ourselves, communicate with others and understand our world.

The sixteen Court cards of the tarot, that is, the Kings, Queens, Knights, Pages, are some of the most versatile cards in the deck. The Court cards can help us understand ourselves, our talents, our fears, and our motivations. The Court cards can also represent the people around us and help us understand our relationships with them.

On Thursday, November 19, from 7 pm to 9 pm EST, I will be teaching about the Court cards in a class called “Your Journey Through the Tarot Court”.

In this class you will learn a variety of ways to interpret the tarot Court cards when they appear in a reading and find all the possible messages within them.

This class is appropriate for tarot students at all levels of experience and knowledge.

Class fee is $37.50. Register now on Zoom.

From Around the Web

Lifehack has some important things to share about unconditional love.

Healthline shared an article about this topic, too.

Psychology Today asked if unconditional love is truly possible.

Cards for Your Consideration

There are so many tarot cards that can speak of love. We see romantic love in the Two of Cups, for example. We see a loving family in the Ten of Cups. We can see relationships in the Lovers, and marriage in the Four of Wands and the Hierophant. We see charity in the Six of Pentacles, and friendship in the Three of Cups.

My favorite card to speak of unconditional love is the Ace of Cups. Here, we see the full potential of love, and the spiritual nature of love. We see the open heart chakra, and the limitless ability that the heart has to heal, to love and to grow.

Very often we might interpret the Ace of Cups as a new relationship. Yet, there is so much more to be found in this card.

Our ability to love one another is the surest proof of the existence of a higher power who loves us. The Ace of Cups evokes a sense of that infinite power of unconditional love.
