Feel Like Your Heart Wants One Thing And Your Mind Another? There's A Cosmic Reason For It.
Jul 21, 2026What Happens When You Approach Love Without Your Soul’s GPS? Discover the Hidden Clues Your Heart Has Been Sending—And the Cosmic Map That Finally Makes Them Make Sense.
In my 10+ years as a love coach and energy healer, I've seen this so many times.
Someone meets a person who seems perfect on paper, but their heart just isn't in it.
So they start trying to talk themselves into love.
Or they're madly in love but their friends and family don't approve of the person. So they start trying to talk themselves out of love.
It's something I think almost all of us have done at some point.
Because from the time we're young, we're taught what a relationship should look like.
We absorb ideas from our family, friends, films, social media and past experiences until we have a picture in our mind of the kind of person we're supposed to choose.
But here's the part most people never learn.
Your mind has preferences.
Your heart has a calling.
And they aren't always the same thing.
🌀 Your mind is thinking about things like:
- Is this person a good match on paper?
- What will my friends and family think?
- Are they successful? Stable? Attractive?
- Am I making the “right” choice?
- Does this fit the picture I’ve always imagined for my life?
❤️ Meanwhile, your heart is quietly asking something very different:
- Do I feel alive around this person?
- Can I truly be myself here?
- Does something deep inside me feel drawn towards them?
- Is there room for my soul to grow?
- Does this relationship actually feel like me?
Often, we follow the world and the mind, denying our heart more and more. And at some point we start gaslighting ourselves:
Maybe this is just what healthy love feels like.
Maybe attraction will grow.
Maybe I’m expecting too much.
Because while your mind has been learning from your upbringing, your experiences and the world around you...
Your heart has been following something much deeper.
Your Heart Didn’t Get That Way By Accident
One of the biggest things I’ve learned after thousands of readings is this:
Your heart isn’t random.
It isn’t irrational.
And despite what you’ve perhaps been told, it isn’t trying to make your life difficult.
It has its own intelligence - its own soul imprint. Your pre-life CHOICE of what you wanted to experience.
There are certain themes your soul wanted to experience through love. Certain qualities that genuinely nourish you. Certain lessons you’re here to explore. Certain gifts another person can awaken in you.
That’s why two people can look at exactly the same relationship and experience it completely differently.
This Is Why Venus Matters So Much
One of the things I've found, after interpreting thousands of birth charts and relationship patterns, is that Venus is one of the most misunderstood parts of astrology.
When most people hear about their Venus sign, they expect to read something like:
“You’re romantic.”
“You like beautiful things.”
“You’re affectionate.”
As a healer and intuitive I can tell you, Venus goes much deeper.
Your Venus sign and placement reveal what your soul pre-planned, and what your heart naturally opens to.
It’s one of the clearest clues in your birth chart to the kind of love your soul chose to experience in this lifetime. (Yes, it knows way better than any relative, nosy colleague, dating app or Cosmo article...!)
And once you understand that, so many things suddenly make sense.
The relationships that changed you.
The people you couldn’t forget.
The attractions that didn't really make sense.
Even the relationship that may have looked perfect—but somehow never quite felt like home.
The Difference Between The Shadow And The Soul Calling
I’ve often wondered how many people have spent years trying to fix the very thing that was trying to guide them.
Trying to be less sensitive.
Less adventurous.
Less passionate.
Less intense.
Less different.
Not because there was anything wrong with them, but because they didn’t yet understand what their heart was pointing towards.
When you know your Venus sign from this deeper perspective, something shifts.
You stop asking,
“Why am I like this?”
And you start asking, “What has my heart been trying to show me all along?”
Your Heart Has Been Speaking To You
The world is very good at teaching us how to make "sensible" decisions.
How to weigh up the pros and cons.
How to choose what looks good from the outside. But it rarely considers your uniqueness and your deeper motivations.
Your heart speaks a different language.
A feeling that something clicks, even if you can’t explain why.
Because perhaps the reason your heart has wanted one thing while your mind wanted another...
...isn’t because you’re confused.
It’s because they’ve been following two different maps, and the world's map simply didn't show the full picture.
I believe that if more people were aware of their deeper soul motivations and heart's calling, they would avoid so many of the disappointments and tribulations in love.
Because they would finally be navigating with an accurate personal compass - not the world's opinions.
The Deeper Intuitive Version Of Astrology
Finding your Venus sign isn't the hard part.
Understanding what your Venus placement has actually been doing in your relationships, from an intuitive’s perspective?
That's very different.
That’s exactly why I created Venus Signs Decoded... as someone who has seen these themes over and over again in readings and sessions -- because simply finding a generic description online rarely answers the questions that actually matter.
Before you were born, your soul wasn't choosing eye or hair color.
It was choosing experiences.
Growth.
Healing.
Expansion.
And love was a major part of that.
Discover Your Soul’s Calling In Love
That’s exactly why I created Venus Signs Decoded - where we go deep into the agreements your soul made for love before you were even born.
Inside, you’ll discover:
- ❤️ What your Venus sign reveals about your soul’s calling in love.

- ❤️ Why certain relationships have affected you so deeply.
- ❤️ How to work with your heart instead of constantly questioning it.

you stop trying to live someone else’s version of love.
