I can't really answer your question but I've been looking into this twin flame soul mate thing for months (not long enough I guess) and from what I see there's a lot of different opinions out there for what constitutes twin flames and soul mates.

Me and my partner have a pattern with certain things. Double whammies of some conjunctions. He would fit more into the twin flame category in astrological terms than the person I actually consider my twin flame.

Although I don't dispute the research that's been done and results taken from them I do wonder is what defines a soul mate or twin flame relationship unique to each couple. I find it hard to believe that a concept as big as this could be categorised in any way.

I do imagine that a pattern between two charts would be a great indication of either soul mates or twin flames. Maybe more aspects and more of a pattern is what distinguishes between twin flames and soul mates.

Fingers crossed, som eone will be able to answer you question.

From my point of view, I don't really believe in Twinflames, and such. My fiance is my soulmate/twinflame/best friend/true love, but I don't need all these asteroids to show me that (even though we have mentioned connections)

As far as I was aware no one owns the topic twin flames and anyone is free to start a discussion.

I don't know about you but I'm on here to talk with like minded people and I'm new to this so it's hard to get involved in discussions when my knowledge in astrology is behind that of those you mentioned in the other two threads. And I have asked questions on there.

I think your right about this. However, I'm not so easily inclined to dismiss others longing for a Twinflame/Soulmate type connection. In my experience such longing points to a missing or empty part a person in which he or she will try to find an other (through a social relationship, romantic or otherwise), who fills this missing/empty part of themselves in their path towards individuation. I think its is through this longing that catalyses the work/karma you have to go through in this lifetime, whether that entails having different types of karmic relationships, meeting your Soulmate(s), or in very rare cases meeting your Twinflame.

In astrological terms Saturn, the planet of karma/work, is exalted in Libra (ruled by Venus), the sign of relationships. The Sun, which is the Soul-identity is exalted in Aries (which ruled by Mars). Thus, in the zodiac itself we see a special dichotomy between individuation (Mars-Sun) and relationships (Venus-Saturn) which involves karma/work (Saturn) and the soul-identity (Sun).

But I guess it also depends on your natal chart whether significant relationships is part your programme (as Indigo would say) in this lifetime.

You gotta put a lot of effort to make a relationship work and keep the love alive.

I agree with you 100%, I think there is a element of work in any relationship as I wrote above. I do think however that this trend about Twinflames is important in getting people to start looking into their charts, and combined charts (composites,davison,etc) to gain more awareness as to how astrology works, and to also gain knowledge as to what karma/work that needs to be accomplished in this lifetime.

I agree that astrology would be irrelevant in the long run for any type of relationship. But, astrology in this case, I think, would serve the practical purpose of pinpointing what type of karma/work needs to be completed through certain relationships.

I don't know...when I see a topic on the thread list I'm not interested in I don't even click into it. I guess some people have more time on their hands than others.

But you do subscribe to work, I hope?

What I meant is that both terms karma and work are very similar to one another.

From Encyclopedia Britannica: "Karma meaning deed or action; in addition, it also has philosophical and technical meaning, denoting a person's deeds as determining his future lot."

I see what youre all saying, and im sorry for bringing up another thread on this, but I sort of wanted a basic summary-like what was said before-because ive been reading now, that even twin flames (if they exist) can come in the form of non romantic relationships. And so, I thought there must be an actual difference between these things and what do I look for. But astrllogy is all theoretical I suppose. We'll never have clear cut answers. And I guess when youre actually in a relationship of some sort, you wont care too much what planetary positions say I didnt want another debate, I just wanted a simplified thingy on it all really

the truth is that there are so many different opinons/ beliefs/ perspctives on this subject, that the question is not easily answered; it mostly depends on what someon`s "definition" on twinflame is, and this can vary quite much from person to person.

So Iam not even trying to attempt an answer.
