IQ has mentioned that one indicator of a twin flame relationship in synastry is when you find Osiris conjunct Isis in synastry (Also valid is : opposition or inconjunct/quincunx or trine.)

Here is an extract from a website I found which explains the reason for this in detail (I have shortened it slightly as it is very long)

"One of the most intriguing, nebulous and controversial topics of history and magic is the “hieros gamos”, “the sacred marriage”…..

What is the hieros gamos? At its core, the sacred marriage is more of a sacrament than a ritual. It is a marriage between husband and wife, but is of a sacred nature: it is a marriage blessed by the gods, with active participation of those deities, present in the act of lovemaking between two humans…

Carl Gustav Jung studied the hieros gamos through the Rosarium Philosophorum, a series of twenty woodcuts, printed in Frankfurt in 1550. The images have a clear sexual and royal nature: a king and queen are depicted with the sun and the moon, sharing a bed, performing sexual acts, as a result of which they become one, and are transformed. And it is with these woodcuts that we come to the core of the hieros gamos: indeed, the primary purpose of the sacred marriage is that two equals, twin souls, a husband and wife, reunite through the hieros gamos. In short: the hieros gamos, or sacred marriage, was not a marriage of just any human beings, but of twin souls.

The concept of twin souls – more popularly known as soulmates – is as old as civilisation itself. Isis and Osiris were both sister and brother and husband and wife: twins. Rather than seeing this as an incestuous relationship, the ancient Egyptians were using this imagery to portray a complex metaphysical framework.

They – like so many other religions – believed that each human being possessed a soul. That soul was half of one unit, which consisted out of one male and one female half. This meant that for every human being alive, there was a perfect twin soul. The quest in this lifetime was to find that twin soul, and be reunited with it. This was the truest of loves; the greatest quest ; the Great Work of Alchemy.

The alchemist Nicolas Flamel stated that he was only able to accomplish the Great Work while in the presence of his wife Perenelle, but it was equally accepted that the majority of marriages here on earth, was not between twin souls.

Once the twin souls had found themselves, apart from understanding the true depths of love and kinship they shared throughout their many lifetimes together, the hieros gamos would be completed at some point.

What was it? It was seen as God personally “attending” a sexual activity, in which the human beings – male and female – each get “infused” by the divine essence of the male and female component of God.

The best-known historical example of such a sacred marriage is between King Solomon and Queen Sheba. The story relates how the Queen of Sheba travelled from her homeland to meet Solomon, to perform the hieros gamos with him. This story is discussed by Kathleen McGowan in her fact-based novel “Book of Love”. She relates that ancient traditions stipulate God had both a male and female aspect: El and Asherah. Tradition relates that they desired “to experience their great and divine love in a physical form and to share such blessedness with the children they would create. Each soul who was formed was perfectly matched, given a twin made from the same essence. […]

Thus the hieros-gamos was created, the sacred marriage of trust and consciousness that unites the beloveds into one flesh.”
Echoes of the sacred marriage can be found in the Song of Songs, directly linked with Solomon and describing love making. The title highlights it was the holiest of all songs, underlining its importance. Margaret Starbird has pointed out that there are strong parallels between the Song of Songs and poems to the Egyptian goddess Isis. Of course, both Solomon and Sheba and Isis and Osiris were twin souls, and hence able to experience the hieros gamos.

The hieros gamos should therefore be more appropriately labelled the reunion of twin souls, while incarnate in the body, through sexual activity, involving the active participation of the male and female aspect of God: “What God has put together, let no man separate.”

Those who have experienced such union find it largely impossible to describe – “beyond words”. …During this union, it is entirely possible that Asherah or El is more prominent in one partner than in the other….. During these encounters, the sexual activity exceeds – and is different from – a normal orgasm; it is normally more intense, prolonged and multiple, whereby the orgasm itself is more energetic, rather than physical. However, the presence of this divine energy should not be seen as a form of possession; normally, the human sexual energy is equally present, and the sexual experience is a balance and interplay between both energies.

These examples …make it clear that the quest of the hieros gamos is not open to anyone: it is only the bailiwick of twin souls. It is why Flamel noted that it was only possible to be performed with Perenelle, clearly not only his wife, but also his twin soul. It is also not so much ritual, but total union of body, mind and spirit: the two parts of one soul become united in the body, thus accomplishing in the body what they were at the beginning of time: a unity. The Great Work. And this union was “blessed” by the sacrament of the hieros gamos, in which God themselves, present at the separation of these souls at the beginning of time, reunited and blessed the two lovers. …

Because it is “restricted” to twin souls, the hieros gamos might not hold the sexual and ritual appeal that many would like to give it. But it is nevertheless the most important sacrament of all, as it was the completion of the quest of the soul in life: to find his twin soul and reunite, and within this love, continue their life, combined.

I don't know for sure if twin flames exist ....

Like my Osiris in Taurus at 12d conjuncts his Priapus in Taurus at 9d which trines his Isis in virgo at 7d and my Priapus in Virgo at 7d, Priapus been like a supermoon and can allow for wider orbs, I can for sure attest to that. Specially if a double whammy is involved like in the case with my ex. My Isis sextiles his Osiris by 2d. That trine we have though has each of our priapus attached to it, I can definitely feel it, its a very powerful experience. I think the intense desire to merge with him comes from that.

He is like the male version of me, we are sooo similar, its weird, like he is ME! I have never met someone that I feel is basically ME in a male body. He is not doing that pisces blending in thing, he is extremely authentic and quite himself with venus in aquarius, not afraid to be different at all. He is quite the character, I love his personality. hahahaha

He feels like a soulmate but in a way that I have not experienced before. This is different, I feel we will remain friends no matter what happens.

I am a virgo with moon in pisces and venus and mars in Leo. His sun does not conjunct my moon or oppose my sun, our moons do oppose. His Sun is at early degrees Pisces. His sun, mercury and venus all oppose my venus and mars.

I guess we have that opposite attracts thing going but we are actually the same, so its interesting.

We have an Eros/Psyche double whammy. Eros Septile Psyche and Eros Quintile Psyche. His Isis conjunct Osiris exact sextile my Isis and conjunct my Priapus, his Isis conjunct Osiris trine my Cupido.
