I think that many people have a missunderstanding of what soulmates are all about. Many think that your soulmate will be the love of your life, the one to bring you peace and tranquility.

In my opinion, thats one of the purposes of a soulmate but certainly not the only one.

Soul mates are souls that you entered into an agreement with before your births, to come together in this life for the potential betterment of both souls.

Your soulmate in this lifecycle may take the form of someone who challenges you to the pointvthat you take controll of your life and grow spiritually.

They may be someone who does something that so entergizes you in to action that you create something that helps all people.

They may incarnate in this life as your child or sibbling in order to die early, again moving you out of your normal compacity and into action that will benefit all people.

Time and time again you see where a child has died, and one or both parents took it upon themselves to create a foundation or other means of recognition for the child, that would not have happened otherwise.

And yes, sometimes the person incarnates in order to form a loving relationship with you.

The point being, what ever the reason for the coming together of you and your soulmate, its for your own growth and evolvement.

I also believe that we have as many soulmates in life as needed to have the opportunity to grow and evolve to the next level. Rather we do so or not is where free choice comes in.

Just some of my thoughts as I do Soulmate Tarot readings.

I agree with you too Lanny.

What are Soulmate Tarot readings?

Amen.

I think the sooner people let go of the "We'll be together forever because we're soulmates" romantic daydream, the better off they'll be. This only leads to severe heartbreak and painful disillusionment when it turns out they're NOT together forever with said "soul-mate"

Or, in the reverse "When, oh when will I meet MY soul-mate? I'm holding out for THAT" meanwhile, failing to recognize the value in all their other relationships. Their REAL relationships, that is.

I do agree wholeheartedly with that statement. All of them actually. I love the romantic notion that each of us has a one and only soul to meet out there and fuse together in eternal romantic bliss. But I mean, really, I have met so many that my soul connects with. I just know- Yes, there is something here worth pursuing...in whatever form, Business, romance, friendship, or our souls mutually learning from the experience together. I have only potentially lived a quarter of my life, so I can't imagine the amount of souls out there I've yet to connect with in this incarnation. I thought for sure the father of my son was meant to be something huge for my journey, even when I first met him. It turned out that the mutual lessons were that sometimes your heart believes something but your minds can't make it right, and it was an experience with a good outcome, ie; my son, and he is/was meant to be. But the lessons were hard and sure. The last ten years or so, I have been very in tune with the 'vibes' I pick up from other's and what they can mean to me, and even though I am aware that sometimes it is only my fantasy life wanting to create drama, I remain open to the possibility of more connections. My marriage is good, therefore, my interactions are mostly speculation, but still, as it was pointed out, in other areas of your life, you meet people to share your niche, and set you on new paths. I have a soulmate aspect-as was pointed out to me.... I live under the notion that every relationship I am involved in, is 'the one'. While I know this is a tendancy of mine, to look at things with stars in my eyes, wondering why I fall in/out of love so easily and dreamily, I certainly temper it with a cool dose of reality. Even if it doesn't mean romantic love, I adore that there are people we make preconcieved connections with, and follow the movement of our lives here with footsteps laid with whispers.
Sorry, I guess in the end, we all just love talking about ourselves, huh? Blah Blah Blah

That's a beautifully written sentence Pixelpixie!

I do the same thing too.

I'm reading a book of Sylvia Browne "The other side and back". She talkes about the romanticesed version of soulmates and how people can pass on a good relationship just by believing him/she wasn't the true "soulmate".
She sais her grandchild is the nearest person she ever could call a soulmate. She also gives an example on how small the odds would be for a person to actually find that soulmate in this lifetime. Everytime these two souls have to be born in a fairly close age span and what if the other half is born in a poor Chinese family and the other in a rich German family what would the odds be that they would meet?

She talkes about the soul being complete in the making and how aweful it would be to be born with an uncomlete soul that is trapped searching for the other half to be able to be whole again!!!
Wouldn't it be sad for a bunsh of people with half-souls running around incomplete?

To work on the relationship you are in and give it the best is far more satisfying then giving up dreaming about a careless relationship that needs no work at all to stay firm.

I absolutely love Sylvia Browne. I try to purchase all the books I can of hers, and I am so glad she is now writing so many, helping so many, and also reaching out with a non-judgemnental religion that makes alot more sense for its purposes than so many others, even though it is very old in roots/values. The way she speaks of things make so much sense to me, they just strike a chord in both my spirituality and reality. I just vibrate with a feeling like_"YES YES, Finally, someone says something that makes sense!!" I truly love her writing, and believe that what she says is a profound truth. Have you checked out her "Astrology Through a Psychic's Eyes"?

This book of her's was a loan from my mother-in-law. I know what you mean about the "YES YES" part about reading her book. I wrote down the title you gave for future searching. I will defenitly be reading more from her

Yes, I too am interested in the notion of Soul Mates. For starters I believe statistics should be ruled out when talking about metaphysical matters. If you are Chinese, and your soul mate in this life happens to be Ethiopian then you may not meet for whatever reasons - not statistical though.

I'll let everyone in on my own experience... I went nigh-clubbing once with a few friends. I told everyone I will look for a different friend and come back. I took off and had the most profound sense of de ja vu. I came back and said "I've seen this before! I'm about to meet the woman of my dreams!" Needless to say, an hour or so later I was following my friends out the door, when I bumped into this very beautiful Libran. I am generally unaffected by beauty, and wasn't interested in the situation. I let her by because I was (am) a Gentleman. She wouldn't budge and claimed "Why do men have to wait for Woman!" So I said, "OK then, I guess we'll just have to stay here and talk". I realised we had very much to talk about, but nothing really substantial. Anyway, I ended up going back to her place (the first and last time I've ever done this) where we fooled around a little and went to sleep.

In the morning we were mucking around and she straddled me with her golden hair forming a perimter around my face, and the sun shined through. It was at this point that I exclaimed "I've dreamt this before!" This was the same dream as the night before that I could remember having "sub-conciously" a few months earlier. For the next few weeks we were inseperable. It was the most unusual relationship I've ever had. Around this time I obtained Relationship Signs from Linda Goodman. I calculated everything between us. I found several references to being "Soul Mates" as I felt inherently. Everything was just too magical to be real. I just wasn't ready for it at all. Everytime I heard her voice was magic. It was the most dreamy time of my existence. Well, I ended up telling her she was my Soul Mate - which is a very bad thing to do to a Libran, and also that I loved her, which I also new was bad due to her own experiences with men and life, etc.

She ended up going over seas and I never saw her again. The whole thing lasted a couple of months. I never understood why I experienced this at all. I just though I would never experience the same thing again, but I have since realised that there are others things that are more important. If I stayed with her, I would've lost a lot about why I exist. Linda wrote that once Soul Mates meet, they will always meet every life after, so I think this is one reason why we met. She also said that should we meet, it should not be taken for granted but as a blessing imposed by the universe. Well, again I failed. Life does go on though. I absolutely love my current spouse to bits, and couldn't imagine not having her. It's just that I'll never forget the pure magic of knowing my "most intense" Soul Mate.

Dean.

I'd offer to lend you mine, but you live in Sweden, and I, in Canada. But the love behind the gesture is there. That's gotta' count for something! Good luck finding it though. I reccomend all her books, she is a vault of information.

Dean~ I posted mine while you posted yours, therefore read it afterward. Wow, dazzled by the synchronicity of it all? What a fortunate experience. I am glad you had that experience, and that you recognized it.It has probably enriched you by opening your heart and showing you the possibilities that are dorment there waiting to be opened by the right set of circumstances. Or set your mind to the right place in it's evolution to fully be with your present spouse, whom you adore. Neat experience though. If neat even comes close to it!

Big Sylvia Brown fan here too

Dean, that sounds pretty trippy. What synastry aspects did you have with her? How long ago was that? Maybe there's still hope, you never know where you end up in life till you get there, you know? The joy's the ride.

I seem to always think "oh, this is the one...this is the man I'm going to marry and grow old with". I suspect it may have something to do with my Neptune to Venus square. Not saying anything like this is what your experience was all about, though. But it does sound like Neptune was involved in there somewhere.

My friend,Mom and I are going to see Sylvia in Columbus Ohio, March 28th!!
I can't wait!!

I knew a man once that told me I was his "Soul-mate". We even shared the same birthday. He taught me patience when it comes to wanting to know all the answers.(We are both Virgos).
He started me on the path back to God through studying the Kaballah and Tarot.
He was very mysterious, and would only say a few things to me at a time and disappear. For years sometimes.
I always wanted to thank him, and I recently found out that he passed away 3 years ago.
It is really weird, I hardly knew him, but I greive for him.This past birthday was my 40th, and I thought about him alot that day.
I hope I can repay him someday!!

A nice thought indeed

...I must add that if I ever have to call someone my soulmate it will defenetly be my hubby! We met on our graduation day from High School and we are the first love for each other. After 7 years of bliss and a baby later I love him to death. This relationship is strong and solid.

We go throw life meeting thousands of people and in the other reincarnations too. Sylvia Brown wrote about a woman that spent her life trying to make her husband like and accept her cause she just knew they have met in another life time and that they where soulmates. Sylvia saw something else. The woman had been accused for being a witch in a past life and her husband was the executioner. So you are bound to meet folks you have met in the past and have a scense of recognision but they might just be anyone of the thousands and thousands you met.

Bauschd~

I'm not saying your experience wasn't a meating of a soulmate....I loved to hear your storie and found it intriging. I'm glad your life didn't came to an halt when she left and you could find love again.
I know I will never meet another like hubby again if we where to break up. I'm not even sure I would want to look.

Yes indeed. For a while I couldn't find meaning as to why I was here (I still question of course) but without her, life was so bleak. I just realised life does go on, and that we could've been Soul Mates but some how weren't completely compatible. Like we were almost there, but we have one or two lives to go. Maybe I will see her again this life and that'd be great, but I would not leave the person I am with to be with her as I think that would be completely unfair.

Lioneye, It was roughly October to November 2001. I don't know what happened then.

Pixel, yes, God can give such beautiful gifts!

Dean.

Hiya moondreamer. They're the million dollar questions. I don't think you really know, but at the same time, you can't not know. As has been stipuated in this thread, there are many Soul Mates in your life. I guess "the most intense" Soul Mate is like your other half. The person you feel complete with, having already felt completely whole. I once new a girl for a week and was heart broken when I new she had to leave. I just felt like I knew her from somewhere. We didn't talk much - part of the reason was that she borrowed my purple disk for a week, and so I could smell her purfume from it for ages. It was just another example of soul relationships. Even a bus driver could be one. Whether that past relationship was positive or negative may also be revealed in this relationship. It's all about learning and experiencing. You may get to the point where you realise you've changed, and hence have to move on. Otherwise, you may always feel like you have something to learn from someone. My Soul Mate was like I couldn't begin to fathom her, but yet, I never had to ask anything. Hence we didn't really have anything in common, but could talk for ever.

Some things are just like that.

Happy travels,
Dean.

Hi dean,

just wanted to say your lovely soulmate story really touched my heart! i met someone too, where the connection went beyond words, the magic surrounded us, and my heart was filled with so much love. when the time came to say goodbye, (because of our distance, we lived in different countries) we ultimately had to let each other go, and although it was very sad, i understood it at the time.
it is because of him, i feel i have so much more to offer in life and love. btw, he and i also met sometime in nov. 2001 (the night of the meteor showers) at a party that i almost didn't attend ... lol, maybe something was in the skies late oct-nov 01 your story reminded me so much of mine ...who knows maybe our past loves are out there somewhere thinking of us, too.

It really sounds like powerful Neptune/Venus aspects were going on between you two, in both of your cases, Dean and Stellar, and possibly being aspected by a transit as well.

Neptune is the planet responsible for those "I feel like I've known you for a thousand years, in many other lives and dimensions" types of feelings.

And it's not necessarily just an illusion either.

Hello, I have only written on here a couple of times in the past, but have enjoyed reading about astrology, I am not very knowlegeable myself on the subject. I couldn't help not writing something on this subject, I do hope I am not taken as sticking my nose in where it doesn't belong. I met someone in 2002 Valentine's day and it was very soulmate like you guys are talking about, i don't know his time of birth but wrote and had his and my synastry done and there wasn't really anything to it. it was like I had all these soulmate feelings but he didn't. Well it was really like he knew something but was upset about it all. It scared him you could tell, and puzzled him, anyway we parted friends but will probably never see each other again. My birthdate is october 9, 1953, 7:47p.m., his September 8, 1949 time unknown. Anyway, I think alot of people have had that happen in their lives where they meet someone and it is like being in a magic bubble with the person, just wonderful, and then nothing ever comes of it. From the little knowledge I have gained from your site i think it does have alot to do with Neptune. Love to all st
