Hi there everyone,
I am new to the subjects of astrology and esoteric wisdom but I have just read Linda's book "Starsigns" and I was wondering if you guys could help me with a couple of questions as they are really bothering me. I have an amazing saggitarius boyfriend who I love dearly - he is everything to me - we both dream of getting married one day and I want this to happen very much. However, I am scared that we are possibly not 'twin souls' and thus our love will not be forever or is not quite 'right'. The thought of our love ending or not being meant to be terrifies me as we both want to make a 'forever' committment to each other. I don't want our love to just be a 'step on the path' towards finding our real twin souls. In her book Linda says that people who are not twin souls should "love until that love runs out". Well what happens if I don't want that love to run out and I want the person who I am with now to be the one I am with forever?

Hi Capricorn Girl,

I've read up extensively on the subject of twin souls and soulmates since I first heard of it.

You said you "have an amazing saggitarius boyfriend" who you "love dearly", who is "everything to me" and "we both dream of getting married one day and I want this to happen very much".

In light of that, the best advice i can give you is - just revel in the happiness of that and don't sweat the rest of what you read in Star Signs.

Some people have experienced a surreal, unmistakable reaction in meeting their twin yet other people have also said it felt normal only the blinds removed. As stated in Star Signs too, meeting your twin soul is no easy thing, not every soul is ready, there are a lot of runners, its not necessarily done in the same reincarnation and that the coming together is usually for a higher purpose toward enlightenment.

Bottom line being - why worry yourself sick over it? I suggest you read Sun Signs, followed by Love Signs etc. While i found Star Signs to be a great book, these 2 are more practically applicable in terms of understanding people and the existing relationships in your life over what may not happen in this reincarnation.

Are you very young Capricorn Girl? Is this your first real relationship? As life progresses, ones learns there are no guarantees in life no matter how much we would like them.

All relationships boil down to being about the 2 people involved in them. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't despite your best efforts. It will still leave you with some measure of evolvement if handled right. All you can control is each day, everyday.

Thank you very much for your reply. Yes you are right...I am very young and this is my first real relationship! haha. However I do know that I have something that is very very special and something that I want to cherish always. As much as I want to develop my knowledge on these subjects...to be honest I'm made really scared and depressed by revelations more than I am made happy by new enlightenment. I know that the "truth often hurts" and I am willing to have courage enough to keep looking for the answers, I don't want to deny the truth, but I'm starting to think that maybe the truth is I just need to stop looking and appreciate the mystery. Do you think that there is spiritual development in this? Also, another question, there is a huge amount of focus on twin soul relationships and finding your other half. This love is described as divine love like no other. However isn't all love divine like no other? And lastly another thought is that because the love between ourselves and our twin soul is 'inevitable' do you think in a way that there is more triumph in loving someone that you are not so compatible with and who is not so closer part of who you are simply because it is a challenge to complete one another in such a way because you are not designed to? Sorry if I sound totally crazy!!!

Its ok, we've all been there!

CG, if you know you have something really really special and want to cherish it always, then just...DO. Don't bother about anything else - except of course for alarm bells like physical/verbal/emotional abuse, disrespect, dishonesty, ulterior motives etc.

Star Signs aside, i'll let you in on an observation I've made. You need to take everything you read or hear with a grain of salt. Despite that traditional astrology stating certain stars are more compatible than others etc etc, you will find that each individual is more than just astrology. We are a sum of the positive and negative aspects of:
* astrological placements (sun sign, our moon sign, our ascendant, our planetary positions, aspects etc),
* regions (continent, country, state of birth, residence, growing up etc),
* families, home environments, religion
* school and other educational influences etc

My point being, while a lot of what you'll read in any literature - esoteric or otherwise - might resonate, you have to recognize that there will be alternative 'takes' & 'twists' bearing your own individuality and that of another person in mind and you both 'flavour' your relationship by what you'll bring into it.

Reading Star Signs scared me more than enlightened me too because I round up to a number 8 and a lot of it seemed to apply. But to regain my sense of perspective, whenever i noticed anyone had a major concern, issue, disaster in their life, i started looking at their birthdates, zodiac etc & came to this stark realization - they were all varied. Bad stuff didn't just happen to the 8 people or a particular star etc.

Don't be obsessed about 'truths', trust me, you will come to your own at your own pace, in the right time so yeah, don't hold your breath or put your relationship through the fire waiting for it. If it ain't broke, why fix it?!

There is potential for spiritual development in any relationship/situation. The TF/TS relationships do sound amazing but loving of any kind when good, is awesome. Think of it this way. Say you had one husband and he died and years later you met someone greater, would you compare and say this one is better etc? You would know that both had their strengths and their weaknesses yet both were worth it rt?

To answer your last question, i think the need for comparison needs to be eliminated. While it may be 'inevitable' that you love your TS/TF, its not necessary that its an easy love. And they could be opposites too. From a lot of the literature i read, it can be pretty challenging.

Yes you are totally right! I need to LIGHTEN UP!! As I'm sure you already know, Goats find this EXTREMELY hard at times! Everything that you have told me are things that cross my mind and when I'm not so anxious do come to those/similar conclusions. I do admit that I get a bit caught up in the subjective facts about people/the world and forget, as you said, that people are first and foremost more than just numbers and starsigns. I do think that Linda believed this first and foremost and indicated as much several times in her book, however the messages she was trying to get across in the varying subjects in her books mean that things come across very bluntly at times with little room for different contexts. One thing I've learnt since thinking about this and talking to you is that yes I do have to just live the moment and make sure that I don't miss out on the total enjoyment for searching for something that is either not meant to be yet or isn't even meant to be. So thanks alot for your help! CG

Hmm I guess that you wanted to find confirmation through astrology about your relationship? If so, I can understand how you feel. T_T I myself have been obsessed for answers for a long time, maybe a bit even now (I have composite Moon square Neptune, which shows that I'm often insecure and unsure about my relationship). But well, just as Fases De La Luna mentioned, there are no guarantees in life no matter how much we want it, and no matter how much we cherish something. Not even if we find our twin souls (the only thing this grants would be intensity and great lessons, for better or worse). >_<

Actually, I think that if we truly come to love someone deeply, then we would never really stop loving them even if we grow apart. But although nothing can grant us that things would last, at least right now it is real and deep. At least right now your love for each other is true. ^_~ Many things in life are fragile, but maybe that's why they become more beautiful and precious.

I hope this doesn't offend anyone....

Relationships are WORK. Love COSTS. I know this is an astrology board and I always referred to Linda Goodman's Love Signs in every relationship I've had since I was a teenager. But as I've matured and I am now on the verge of marriage, I've come to realize that I was more or less looking for an "easier" way to have a relationship. Who am I compatible with that will stick by me no matter what?

I wanted to know if "he and I would make it" or else I didn't want to risk the heartache or put in the effort to have a truly committed relationship if we didn't work out. However, I've come to believe that you can be with anyone, doesn't matter the sign, if you know yourself well enough to trust your own heart. Let peace be your umpire and follow your heart -- God speaks to you through it.

Love is like a muscle. We all have the same capacity to develop it. The more you use it, against pressure and for pleasure, the stronger and more durable it gets. If you don't exercise it, it gets apathetic and weak.

I'm speaking for myself here and as such, I can truthfully say that the only way a relationship will endure is if the two people involved are ready and willing to stick to their committment. It's not always going to be a bed of roses and the bad times can and probably will get worse as you both come to know more about each other and how to hurt or build up each other. You know what "buttons" to push for good or bad. So there is vulnerability there. But don't be afraid.

I don't have a clever phrase to say other than to be prepared to stand by your word when you tell someone you LOVE them and want to spend the rest of your life with them.

Life is unpredictable, better or worse, so even if you are not totally sure this person is perfect for you and vice versa, be willing to accept them, grow with them, cry with them, be frustrated or hurt by them. Love them because you say you do. Stick with them because you say you will. That's what you want as well from them.
