January 29 through February 4, 2024

This will be a relatively quiet week after all the transitions of late, as no major astrological events are on the calendar. The Moon will travel through Virgo on Monday, making this the ideal day for research, details or organizational projects. Once the Moon moves into Libra on Tuesday, we'll have a few days to breathe as we restore balance, catch up on correspondence and focus on some self-care. The Moon will move into Scorpio on Thursday an create a more intense energy through to Saturday. Some of us will gravitate toward more spiritual pursuits, while others will take on projects that require intense focus and attention (like taxes, haha.) Luckily the week will end on a fun note thanks to the Moon's entry into Sagittarius on Sunday. Make plans with loved ones to get out of the house and have some fun!

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.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.

5. 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.

I often feel like I have a gift for sensing vibrations in people, but I also feel this ability is not where it should be. I know that I am capable of greater spiritual awareness. How can I further develop this talent? I'm often frustrated by the feeling that I'm unable to break through an invisible barrier that is preventing me from being able to fully read other people. How can I do this? Or am I expecting too much? Can you read other people fully and know everything you desire psychically, or are you also just working with vague hunches and feelings? Thank you for your insights. I certainly hope that I'm not alone in feeling this way.

Dreamchaser:

The vibrations you feel from other people are their energies. Energy travels. Every living thing transmits energy. Energy is often the foundation for first impressions. We have no reason to instantly like (or dislike) someone, especially when we have not even spoken to each other yet, but in many cases, we instantly feel attracted or repelled when we meet someone. What is really happening is that we sense and react to their energy.

Some people transmit really strong, clear energy, and other people have really weak or clouded energy. I think this depends on a person's mindset, level of spiritual evolvement, and emotional well-being, amongst other factors.

Animals sense energy naturally and automatically. I have heard MANY single people say that if their pet does not like a person, then that person is "no good" and they do not even get a chance. I tend to subscribe to that approach as well. If my cats' backs go up and they hiss at someone, that individual is usually not a very good person. Animals involuntarily react to the energies of the beings around them, and animals do not have logic to interfere with what they "know" instinctively.

Now, I do not go through my everyday life reading people. I do, however, find myself responding and reacting to energy just like everyone else does; I just know what I'm sensing and how to "read" it better than a lot of people. For example, if I walk up to someone I know likes (or dislikes) me, I can pick up on it and deal with that person appropriately.

I do not believe that anyone can or SHOULD know everything they want to know about someone else. One of the biggest Karmic rules I follow is "Do not pry." I am only allowed to look into what a client asks me to look into; I can't pry into anyone else's business. If my client's question would pry into a third party's business, I can't answer that either.

For example, if a client says, "Can you tell me what my boyfriend is thinking about me?" I can probably answer that, because it applies to her and directly concerns her. If a client were to ask, "Is my ex-boyfriend having sex with his new girlfriend?" I would not be able to answer that, as it does not directly apply to the client, and it is none of our business. Make sure you honor that Karmic law and do not pry!

Those "vague hunches" (as you call them) are not as vague as you think. Start exploring more deeply the energy of everyone you meet in your everyday life, and you will start to realize that your "vague hunches" are for the most part right on the money!

I wish you clear psychic channels.

Astrea:

Many people feel that they could have better psychic awareness, but they are unable or unwilling to develop it for any number of reasons. I think the most common stopper is the closed attitude of so many families towards that kind of ability. Lots of religious organizations frown on that sort of thing as well. Thus many folks have been discouraged from developing their full psychic potential.

I also believe that with the right focus and effort, EVERYONE can have develop the ability to read others. Most people are just too busy or occupied with other things to spend the time it takes. Like playing the piano, dancing or drawing, psychic awareness takes PRACTICE - lots and lots of it! We are all born with a "sixth sense," but like anything else, it requires a lot of hard work to access. Further, if we develop it but stop using it, we'll lose it.

I'm not saying that EVERYONE is PSYCHIC, or even that everyone who thinks they are can do this. Many times I'll be reading for someone who thinks she is a gifted psychic who hasn't got a clue. Sometimes that ability has been so squelched that the person is never going to be able to call upon it in this incarnation. Unless this ability is nurtured and grows as the person grows, nothing will happen. However, it's never too late to start to reawaken your natural gifts.

Choose a tool to focus your attention like tarot cards, astrology, runes, etc., and just START READING. At first a lot won't make much sense to you, but after about three months of daily practice, you'll begin to see patterns emerge every time you pick up the tool of your choice. If the first tool you choose doesn't work for you, try a different one until you find one that helps you tune in. Set aside at least an HOUR A DAY, preferably at the same time each day, for this practice. In a short time, you'll find that answers WILL come to you. They'll be patchy at first, but the longer you practice, the easier it will get.

I never work from vague hunches, and for the most part, the feelings I get are NOT vague. Sometimes it takes me a few minutes to find a compassionate answer, because often it won't be what the person wants to hear. I remain rooted in the REALITY of the question and the person asking it. That's why I only answer SPECIFIC questions. I refuse to do general readings because they wear me down to a NUB! I can't work without some focus! Vague/general questions yield vague/general answers. General readings are a big drain and a waste of time.

As you begin to develop your ability, you'll see that too. Good luck!

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.
