My personal experiences have led me to belive that It's possible to have more than one. But it just really depends on what you define soulmate as. You might say they are Karmic ties, but I think of Karmic ties of being with people that help me in life. Soulmates being, people that help, and well just happen to sometimes Hurt me in love.

I see karmic ties as our "lessons to learn", and mostly they are painful lessons.

In my life I have met 3 men that I can call my soulmates.

You should go to Soul Unions there are great threads on this matter there.

A soulmate may be that person that irrates you or torments you, but offers you the opportunity for growth. It may be that ex-wife or girl friend that you wish you had never met, but from which you learned a great deal about yourself, or at least had the opoortunity too.

I'd be willing to bet that I have met at least several dozen soulmates that interacted with me in a meaningful way in this lifecycle and who, although I might have been unable to see it at the time, provided me with the opportunity to learn and grow.

Hey girl, I’m not sure how old you are but I’m honestly surprised you’ve never met a soul mate. It’s funny, my life seems to be chalk full of them. But then again, I think I define soulmates a bit more loosely than others do. I used to adhere to the whole one love to rule them all theory where I expected the stars to sing and the planets to align when I met my “soulmate.” However I’ve come to realize with my advanced age that even when those planets do align there will be trails and problems, pain, and even loss in every relationship, no matter how destined it seems to be. In loosing my first soul mate (the one I thought was the “ONE”) my eyes were opened to the fact that a soul mate is truly nothing more than someone that we share a deep soul connection with. Someone your soul recognizes, perhaps from a past life, perhaps just as a kindred spirit. You may also share Karma with this person (either the good happy kind or the sad painful kind). But no matter what, every “soulmate” you meet will teach you something if you let them, which is why they come into your life in the first place.

first of all 'define soulmate'.how can we say that he/she is our soulmate???

we might answer that we come to know from within ,but you know that can even happen when we meet someone related to us in our past or sharing some karma in the past life.

Actually there are several indications in a couple's composite chart that indicate what many refer to as soulmates.

There is too much Muck involved with some of my old friends, and Girlfriends for me to attempt to communicate with them again. That is at this point anyway, i just burned the bridges out of pure selfishness. It's caused alot of guilt in my life on a regular basis, and all it seems to do is hold me back from the Person I feel i should be.

When i wake up every evening, I think about what i have in my life, and How i attained it. I have two beatiful Daughters, a good job that can take me places, and the only woman next to my mother that gives a Sh*t about how i feel and think. So what ever karmic punishments i've been through thus far, make it worth it everyday I look into my Newborns eyes. And when I think about how bad off i could be. I guess for me that it's part of my lesson to Learn, how to adapt, and compromise. I belive in soulmates, as most of you do also. And I feel that no matter what your perspective on them, without them we may have nothing to Live, and Look forward too.

A girl trapped in a boys body, who likes to be with boys....

A boy trapped in a girls body, who likes to be with girls....

Like brother and sister, souls drawn together in the musty embrace of the night...

Never to be allowed the physical connection that both desire.

Happened to me. Love her to bits. Just wasnt meant to be.

Whats with Karma?

That's what I meant, there's not a single one and you can have different aspects with different people...

I prefer to look at how the individuals interact with one another as opposed to the 'outside' view of the composite.

As Lanny mentioned, there are a number of signatures to look for when examining the charts of two people and determining the aspects which point to SoulMate bonds.

My personal opinion is that soul transcends gender and the physical matter called body altogether irregardless of believing in re-incarnation or not.

I have an observation though, would you say recpirocity in synastry is one signature?

My sun falls in your 8th, your sun falls in my 8th, my pluto in your 12th, ditto, that kind of thing? Reciprocity of aspects?
