Astro-Twins - The Astrology Chart As a Portrait in the Soul

By Kevin Foster


Have you ever met an astrotwin? How much alike were you? Were there eerie parallels among your lives or were you radically different? Strictly speaking, astrotwins are a couple of men and women born the same day, month, year, time, and place-and thus with charts that are identical in each way. Whilst it is rare to meet an certain astrotwin, we usually encounter those who are "date twins," born the same day, month, and year, but at one more time or place.

George W. Bush and Sylvester Stallone are date twins (July 6, 1947), and so had been Lincoln and Darwin (February 12, 1809). 1 unlikely pair is Margaret Thatcher and Lenny Bruce, both born October 13, 1925. Some other pairs my friend Karen McCauley found are Andy Griffith and Marilyn Monroe, Angela Bassett and Madonna, Newt Gingrich and Barry Manilow, Roger Ebert and Paul McCartney, Al Gore and Rhea Perlman.

In my astrology practice, I once had a buyer who was born the same day, month, year, and a single hour earlier than Charles Manson (November 12, 1934). Manson is often a notorious criminal serving a life sentence, and my consumer was the apparent opposite-he counseled sex offenders who were incarcerated.

Skeptics use these examples to discredit astrology, and it puzzles people who desire to think as well. They'd speculate on my client's "shadow self," that possibly he was sublimating his very own violence by working in a prison. And it is feasible that Margaret Thatcher, despite her very right public faade, was as raunchy as Lenny Bruce in private. Maybe so -surely the same gifts and predilections can also be expressed in a quantity of ways.

Each day there are some 350,000 date twins born, and in between them, depending on the time and place of birth, hundreds of astrotwins. They will all have the same core elements in their chart, but obviously their life stories and opportunities to develop their potentials will diverge wildly.

So, in which does astrology arrive into play? How do we explain why there are various hundred persons obtainable with basically the same birth chart as Barak Obama, but only one of them is running for president? The analogy I came up with is how the birth chart is often a portrait from the soul, but it is NOT the soul. It's only 1 expression on the soul's infinite potentials. Only one of those souls is Barak Obama.

That's why I say that the astrology chart is a portrait from the soul. Have you ever visited an art class where the students have been trying to perform a picture of nude? As you wander in the room, each student has rendered the subject inside a a variety of way-anything from strictly representational to extremely abstract. The colors, the techniques, the styles come in infinite varieties. They've attempted to capture the image, but they can't capture the essence.

It's the same having a particular astrology chart. Each individual born with it attempts to express its potentials, but does so in their individual way and with varying degrees of success, depending on the materials at hand. If you've got clay, you make a bust. Should you have pastel chalk, that's what you use. And if you have oils, you've got a better shot at appearing in an art gallery-IF you work difficult and apply yourself for years and years.
