February 26 through March 3, 2024
We'll get an extra day of February this week, thanks to it being leap year! Balance is the theme the first half of the week as the Moon drifts through loving Libra and makes relationships with ourselves and others the focus. The second half of the week belongs to a Scorpio Moon, and in combination with the Pisces Sun, this is a great time to practice your metaphysical skills, try some channeling to connect with others from the Spirit world, or simply increase your meditation time to strengthen your inner wellness and intuitive powers. We can designate Sunday as a play day under the Sagittarius Moon, opting for social or relaxing activities to lighten our spirits and bring joy to our worlds.

Five Myths (and Five Truths) about the Twin Flame Relationship, by Leslie Sampson
(Article originally published in The Llewellyn Journal.)
The sacred concept of twin flames is one that is surrounded with a lot of different definitions, ideas, and methods. It can be confusing when you begin on your journey. You will find so many things that are considered "absolute" and "fact," but may not actually vibe with you or your twin. It's a good general rule of thumb to remember that if something doesn't vibe with you, it simply doesn't have to. It's ok to say no, especially when we're talking about twin flames.
This topic looks massive on the surface, thanks to the fact that everyone who discusses twin flames in any way has their own opinions, experiences, definitions, and belief systems. This can make the entire concept of twin flames seem convoluted or even contradictory. That was my opinion when I began on my path of twin flame enlightenment.
Now, however, I realize that the entire reason there is so much confusion about twin flames is because there are a lot of myths that are considered truth. My intention is to try and clear up the confusion. So, let's look at five common myths and truths about twin flames and the relationship between them.
- My twin flame is my one true love.
This is the most overwhelming myth about twin flames. It's because the most prevalent belief about twin flames is that the entire purpose of the relationship is to be each other's one true love on earth. The true purpose of the twin flame relationship isn't love, although divine love is at the core of both the relationship and the souls that define it.The purpose is soul evolution. Your twin flame will come into your life and change everything, and you both may even want to have a loving relationship with one another. Just remember, the purpose of the twin flame relationship will always be soul evolution. - Twin flames and soulmates are the same thing.
Most people believe both concepts are equal, but they are not. When a soul is created, it's made from a particular strand of divine DNA that is unequaled in any other soul. It is also infused with a blueprint of the divine plan for this soul. Then, the soul is split into two equal halves, which are called twin flames. You only have one divine equal to your soul.A soulmate can number into the millions for one soul. These are those souls that evolve around each other, and they do so because they are a complementary vibration to yours. The purpose of twin flames is soul evolution. The purpose of a soulmate is to assist you on your path, and they often allow you to assist them on theirs. There is only one divine match to your soul that is your twin flame. - My twin flame is my divine masculine/feminine.
At inception, a soul is created with divine energy, which is that beautiful, universal energy that comes from the creator of all that is (your understanding of a higher power/being/energy/God). Contained within that divine energy is both divine masculine and feminine energy. When the soul is split into two equal halves, it isn't split based on masculine or feminine energy. It is divided right down the middle. Both halves contain universal energy, which is partially made up of masculine and feminine energies.Universal energy is what creates oneness for all, so it cannot be separated into different energies specifically to define the twin flame relationship. There is no divine rule that insists one half of the soul is feminine at its core and the other half is masculine. Twin flames are equal in all ways on a soul level. - 11:11 is a sign from my twin flame.
The number eleven is more than just a sign from your twin; it is a physical and mathematical manifestation of twin flames meeting. Usually, when your attention is drawn to 11:11, it is considered a sign that your twin is near, or thinking of you, or just wants to get your attention. However, there's so much more to it.Previously, we discussed how each soul has both divine masculine and divine feminine contained within. Each of these energies is represented by the number one, so one half of the soul is represented by two ones: 11. Since twin flames are equal in their souls, both halves would be equally represented. That's how we arrive at 11:11. When this number appears, it is an indication that both souls are present, connected, and sending information to one another.
Before we get to our last myth, it's important to understand two things: everyone has a twin flame and twin flames are always connected. There is never a need to search for your twin because you have been connected since the inception of your souls. There is a cord that connects the two of you. This cord is made of the same strand of divine DNA that created your souls, and it is unique to you. It cannot be replicated or changed in any way. It connects from your heart chakra in the center of your chest and works like an umbilical cord to not only connect twin flames, but to send energy and information between you. This is true no matter if your twin is incarnate on Earth or on the Other Side. This cord can be used to draw your twin closer to you.
- I can tell you who your twin flame/soulmate is.
There are advertisements for these types of readings and drawings on social media all the time. "I will draw a picture of your one true love!" "I will draw your twin flame!" "Is he your twin flame? I will tell you the truth." Bottom line: these are scams, regardless of how many "good reviews" they have. It's very easy to create a drawing of a random person and say, "This, this is your other half, your true love!" That doesn't make it truth. You shouldn't open the door to your twin flame relationship merely to prove you're correct. You don't need anyone else to verify or validate what you already know and feel.Remember, you and your twin flame have always been connected to one another, and your soul will always recognize its match, without fail. The hard part, especially if you're a skeptic like I used to be, is convincing your brain. It doesn't naturally want to trust and believe a concept so radical as, "My soul has an exact match, and it is this person." The brain wants to explain everything away as rationally as it can.The key is to allow. Allow it all, every little bit. Keep what makes sense to you, and discard everything else. And, hey, don't let anyone else into the heart of your twin flame relationship, because they will do all they can to tear it down and make you doubt. Trust yourself. Your soul will always recognize its match. Period.
There are many more myths that surround twin flames. In my new book, Find Your Twin Flame: Understand and Connect to Your Soul's Other Half, we not only break down these myths into truths, but we define twin flames and discuss the history of the concept of the twin flame relationship. We also utilize several methods designed to connect with your twin flame and prove the relationship beyond all doubt.
Remember: your soul already knows who your twin flame is. You just need to give your soul the right tools and guidance to grow and evolve. You have the "soul" access to empower yourself to draw your divine match closer to you. Go on. Do it. I believe in you.

- Double Vision: Why Do I Attract Cars and Accidents?Continue reading →

Over the past several years, I've had three serious car accidents. I've never been hurt, and each of them were the fault of the other driver. Regardless, the financial and emotional drain of these accidents has been so stressful. In the first accident, I lost my car altogether. I find myself very bitter that these accidents kept happening, and am beginning to wonder if I am some sort of magnet for automobiles. I only say this because, as weird as this sounds, cars seem to always show up in or around my energy space. For example, I can be on a quiet street and a car will suddenly swing out of an alley or garage smack in front of me. I have been in semi-empty parking lots and all of a sudden everyone is parking their car next to mine, even if there are other more convenient spaces available. I am trying to put one and one together. There must be some reason for all that has happened in my life. What do you think? Thanks!

Dreamchaser:
Mabel, you ARE attracting these car experiences. The first one was an actual accident, but you manifested the second two.
Quantum Physics explains that what we believe and focus upon is what we create, so in thinking about your first accident, you created the next two accidents. You became hyper-alert to the vehicles that were around you - you were in a way just WAITING for your next accident.
I was living in a very urban area for quite some time. There were accidents there all the time. I used my spiritual friends to keep me and mine safe. Every time I would get in my car, I would ask my road angels to surround the car. I would actually envision angels at all four corners of my car and one hovering over the roof. They would act as guides and bumpers for me in my head.
At the same time, however, I also just knew that I was protected. That is the key for you. You have to FEEL safe and protected again. Everyone has road angels available to them; I suggest you use yours. You WILL feel their protection once you start asking for them.
Another thing that you can do is go out (preferably at night while your neighbors are sleeping so they will not think you are a crackpot) and sprinkle regular table salt all around the outside of your car on the ground. Basically, draw a line of salt all around your car. Once that is done, you need to say a prayer like this: "Universe, I ask that you protect this vehicle and any other vehicle I am in. I ask that you give me a sense of peace and safety." Then go back inside.
Every single morning when you wake up, before your feet even hit the floor, I need for you to do the following. Say three times (and I mean THREE times!):
"Today I will create safety around myself and any vehicles I am in."
Remember, you must say it three times. Then get up and know that you are protected. If you start to believe that you have the Universe working with and for you, then you will start to see all the vehicles around you simply as vehicles sharing your road space instead of potential threats to your safety.
If you do these things, you WILL be protected. Period. Then you can believe it and can go back into the world with confidence. In the recent past, every time you have stepped out your door, you have done so with a sense of foreboding. That will end now.
I wish you well-being!

If you are a Fire Sign, I think that's your answer, Mabel. For some reason, we Fire Signs seem to attract energy from things that burn fossil fuels. This also seems to have something to do with one's age, as Fire Signs tend to attract cars and accidents between the ages of 18-30. The good news is that you'll probably outgrow this no matter what sign you are.
Some people draw accidents, some draw electrical problems, and some even manifest money issues. The feelings that we have to deal with when we see a pattern we want to break can be hard to dispel. Unfortunately, trying to do it on your own can make you angrier about the situation, which can draw even MORE of the sort of thing that you're trying to avoid.
In your case, this whole pattern feels really unfair to you. The bitterness you feel about all these accidents just keeps drawing more accidents and cars to you, so you are going to have to find some way to deal with that.
Here is one way to end some of the bitter feelings in your life so you can move on from this pattern of experience. This ritual is great for banishing a problem or any OTHER unwanted thing from your life, and your feelings about what has been happening will evaporate too!
Buy a brand new pen or marker with purple ink. Purple dyes and inks are still made from pokeberries, and pokeberries are unusual in that there isn't a fixative in the berries that sets the purple color, so these are the least permanent of all inks. (NEVER get this ink in your mouth, as purple inks are poisonous if ingested.)
Draw a picture of a car on a piece of plain white paper in your purple ink. Then draw a circle around the picture with a line through it, like on a NO SMOKING sign. Put the paper up on your wall somewhere. As the purple ink fades, so will your bitter feelings about your accidents, and all your problems with cars will fade as well.
Every time you look at the drawing, remember that you're not going to be bitter about the past, and that you're not going to bring anymore accidents or car trouble into your life. When the ink has faded, your bitterness will have faded right along with it.
Continuing to feel worried or bitter is something that will continue to draw these kinds of accidents to you and your household, so the sooner you can get over it, the better all your lives will be.

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.
Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!
While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!
I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!
As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.
I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.
You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!
Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.
A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.
You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
