Soul Connections

If you believe in reincarnation, you’ve likely been curious about karmic connections you’ve felt with others, wondering if you were lovers, friends, enemies, family etc. in other lives.

Did you know that karmic relationships are often not about how and when you knew someone in another life? They can also be about connecting with someone that came in with a lesson like one of yours, so there’s a shared intention between souls to learn or heal together.

I often hear people talk about relationships as if their value depends on having known someone before. What if your soul nudged you to this person not because you already knew them, but because you needed to meet them?

What if this is the first time your souls have met on earth and it is this very life that ignites an eternal connection? What if falling in love now leads to more lives together?

Having a karmic history with someone doesn’t automatically translate into a healthy, loving relationship. Lots of people that have hurt you in this life, hurt you in other lives. Having known someone before isn’t always a fun thing.

Understanding karmic connections can offer insight into a current relationship, but regardless of your history with someone, what matters most is what you do together in this time and space.

Soul connections are not bound by earthly experiences. Cosmic love has no limits and doesn’t depend on shared earthly experience. We all come from the same source. These lives are only a part of our collective journey.

Soul Families

Sometimes we meet people and we know them. We already know them. We have a karmic connection to them that transcends this life. One of the ways this kind of connection can show up when looking at natal charts is by the degree of the midheaven. ⁣

The midheaven shows your soul in your chart. If someone has the same degree you have, regardless of sign, they are part of your soul family.

We all come from the same source and you can feel soulful connections without this indicator. This is just one way this connection is expressed. ⁣

Take a look at your midheaven and keep that number in mind if you tend to collect charts of friends and families. Notice the degree of the midheaven next time you look at someone’s chart and see if it’s the same as yours.⁣

Sometimes (often) these people are in our life for a very short time. It can be one conversation, one favor, one act of kindness … even brief, it’s usually deeply felt.⁣

I’d love to know about one of your encounters with your soul family. ⁣

Btw, if you like learning astrology my Stargazers community will reopen later this summer.

It’s not easy being green

In Karmic Astrology the chart is seen as a painting of past lives, the beliefs & experiences you bring into this life. Your natal chart doesn’t dictate what kind of person you are or life you’ll live. It does give you insight into yourself, and the kind of growth and lessons you are inviting into this life.

In some ways all of our lives have the same purpose: to grow spiritually, love and be loved. We just happen to each get there in our own way, exploring our talents and meeting our challenges. Astrology can be a huge help along the way as we journey towards self-acceptance and self-discovery.
