a paridise, a parody

The concept of twin flames suggests that another is our ‘perfect mirror’ in reflecting the shadow aspects of ourselves by where we want to resolve and integrate the frictional qualities and the intense push pull nature of the relationship…it’s a relationship that’s supposed to ‘awaken’ you.
Other theories suggests that twin flames are karmic souls that spilt from a single original soul and find each other when they incarnate.

…

Here is the astrological deconstruction of the concept of ‘Twin Flames’.

…

First point to be noted - Twin Flames are NOT your perfect match…there’s a lot of confusion between Karmic, Soul Mate and Twin Flame relationships, this posts primary focus is on Twin Flames.

The description of a Twin Flame relationship is said to:
- Make you feel convinced you’re ‘meant to be’ all though the intense highs and lows experienced together is clearly not healthy for either of you (yet you come back every time).
- They make you perceive everything in a different way, better or for worse.
- They come in and out of your life
- The feel like ‘home’ to you
- You may feel like your opposites and indifferences is what attracts you to each other
- They make you feel transformed, for better or for worse
- Your feelings of passion and connection is equal to your level of worry of losing them or that you feel like there’s something they’re hiding
- You come into each other’s lives at the ‘wrong time’ or there was something stopping you from being together
- One of you acts more as a spiritual guide for the other
- You desire them as much as you fear them

In astrology, there is only two particular connections that is experienced what’s been coined as twin flame relationships, and a third possible contender
* Neptune contacts
* Pluto contacts
* Moon contacts

Sound familiar?

These 3 planets also all rule the water signs - Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer

In the charts studied, all those who contributed their charts claiming they had met their Twin Flame had these planetary contacts within synastry and/or composite charts, primarily Neptune and/or Pluto OR, the couple had water signs on the sun/moon/venus/mars.
The reason why ‘Twin Flames’ feels like such a soul connection is because of the energetic influence of these watery planets. They drown our logic and bring our hearts and soul to the surface to be exposed.
The term 'Twin Flame’ is the only way we can logically understand the powerful connection these aspects make to one another in synastry and composite.

Unfortunately, the idea that one person can be our one true relationship partner is a isn’t necessarily true.
There is often a desire (mostly in the charts of those with heavy water signs or a prominent Neptune/Pluto) to have a relationship that exists totally beyond the physical world, and that they would rather leave the physical and intertwine in the spiritual realm.

Neptune brings the all romantic high. It’s the place where we drift away in the arms of another and the whole world ceases to exist.
Pluto brings the connection by where you feel like it’s do or die, there’s no way you can separate and then the feelings build to the point of explosion and release, by where Neptune taunts is to come back for another try because we’re 'meant to be’.
The moon is far more gentle here but it’s easy to get feelings hurt.

Yes the relationship is intense.
Yes the partner may be the best thing that’s happened to you…at the time.
But there doesn’t have to be turmoil in relationships for it to be a beautiful one.

But that’s the problem - the 'Twin Flame’ relationship is ADDICTIVE (Neptune) and makes you OBSESSIVE (Pluto) and you just want to pour out all of your EMOTION (Moon).

Karmic and 'fated’ relationships do in fact exist, and some are meant to last, some are not - the purpose of these connections are to bring about a lesson by learning who we are through another (1st house to 7th house).
Twin flames in the concept of someone being your perfect mirror in the natal chart would look like:
- Everything in your chart (planets in signs) opposite one another almost exact (eg - Scorpio sun to a Taurus sun ect).

In the end, there is far more meaning beyond the concept of 'Twin Flames’.
Soul mates and karmic connections as well as fated meetings and attractions are all true and they also bring with them great lessons, however, your soul doesn’t have a single 'other half’ - in the 12th house, all souls dissolve into one, hence why soul contracts are made to interact with individuals to learn who we are while we’re here as pieces of the universe experiencing itself in different forms.

We all have a person we will meet to act as our mirror in the way we learn about ourselves - however - we will always remain ourselves.
Souls will remain intact in themselves as they interact with one another - leaning about what their own body, mind and soul feels like when experienced by another.
Though the lure of the water songs wants to bring us back to source sooner to feel an entire integration, know that you meet your partner for a reason, and that you were destined to meet one another to learn about your own soul through the contact of another.

(Will write posts soon about 'Nodal Contracts in relationships’ and 'The Vertex: My wish come true’ soon *)
