Antara Tarocchi (antaratarocchi)

The cosmos are calling us to look at love in a new way. Sometimes we feel so much for a person, but it is not reciprocal. Even with the awareness of the lack of reciprocation, we fight harder to make it work. But if the love is a battle, it is often not meant to work. This is a phase where we need to look at love and determine whether it is really serving us or if it is limerence.

But what is Limerence? What is love?

Here is your full combined text with light polishing only for grammar, clarity, and flow. I kept your tone exactly the same and followed your no dash rule. No meaning has been changed. Here is a clear and human focused explanation of the difference between love and limerence, written in a way that you can easily share with clients if needed.

Love and limerence can feel similar in the beginning, but they are two very different emotional experiences.

Limerence is driven by longing, fantasy, and the need for emotional reciprocation. It often comes with intrusive thoughts, obsession, and a desire for the other person to validate your feelings. Limerence is usually fueled by uncertainty and distance. The less someone gives you, the more your mind fills in the gaps. It creates a powerful emotional high, but it is unstable and often rooted in projection rather than reality. Love is steadier, calmer, and grounded in truth rather than fantasy. Love grows through connection, honesty, shared experiences, and emotional safety. Instead of living in your imagination, you are building something real with another person. In love you can breathe. You can talk. You can be your full self. Love does not depend on uncertainty to stay alive and it does not require constant emotional highs to feel meaningful.

A simple way to see the difference Limerence is about craving someone. Love is about knowing someone.

Limerence depends on idealization. Love depends on understanding.

Limerence feels like a rush. Love feels like depth.

Limerence is often about the fantasy of the connection. Love is about the reality of the connection.

Both can begin with strong chemistry and excitement, but only love can sustain itself once the illusion fades.

How does the upcoming Venus Movement affect awareness on this topic?

This coming movement of Venus will bring an amplified focus to how we view love. With Venus moving into Capricorn it is an opportunity for us to approach love with a very intellectual energy. It is a time to evaluate if the love that we have been looking for is really the love that we need. It is time to look at love practically and make sure that we are not getting swept away into limerence. Venus in Capricorn encourages us to seek relationships that are steady, reliable, and built on mutual respect which is the exact opposite of the limerence that many people are chasing. This energy reminds us that true love grows through consistency and effort rather than through fantasy alone. It invites us to look closely at our patterns and to ask whether we are choosing partners who align with our long term goals. During this time, love becomes something we shape through our intention rather than through our impulse. Venus in Capricorn helps us ground our desires so that we can create connections that are both emotionally fulfilling and realistically sustainable.
