How to prepare for the Great American Eclipse

If you are to use tomorrow's energies to your full advantage, prepare NOW.

Venus and Pluto's August 15th opposition will be felt throughout tomorrow's Eclipse, August 21.
This Eclipse is going to burn and destroy all false attitudes, ego-based actions and emotions and no one does this better than Pluto.

Since these two planets are in opposition, we are being shown by the Great Universe what we must burn tomorrow to experience complete renewal and Twin Flame Reunion.  Since Venus and Pluto contacts are always present (99% of the time) in  Twin Flame charts, it is imperative that all Twins begin to look at all fears around love.  Belief systems around love and sex that are steeped in fear must die. The Eclipse is coming to destroy them for you as if all Twins were to undergo a spiritual initiation. The process will feel a lot gentler if you put these things on the altar rather than to have them ripped out of you.

Write down all the fears you have around issues of worth.
Write down your deepest fears around love
Write down all your fears about your Twin Flame. Be very honest.
Write down all your fears about YOURSELF

Focus only on what you want to destroy, not what you want to invoke. You are making a grocery list of what you are ready to release and the Eclipse will take it. Be specific when you write, the eclipse won't edit your list and it will just take what is on it.

Examples of great things to write down:

FEAR, INSECURITY, DOUBT around your Twin and your Twin Flame Journey.

Example of a contract:
Dear Eclipse, I offer you my fears around love, past traumas, past abuse, past beliefs around love and sex. I offer you my ego and my separation from my Twin. I give you all my self-imposed obstacles and blocks due to fear.
Take these as a gift from me and destroy them on my behalf.  Eternally grateful ________ (Sign it)

Tomorrow take the list, put it in a dish (or cauldron if you have one) and burn it. The Universe will do its thing.  Always take great precaution when you burn something. The deeper the dish, the better.

Also if you use computers and phones for your business or to communicate with your Twin Flame while in separation, plug them into a power source but SHUT THEM OFF for a few minutes tomorrow right before the eclipse. Leave the batteries in since they are the nerve center of all communication you have received.

This will reset the devices and cleanse them of stored negative energy around money and love. Especially energy that comes from the collective such as social media, ebay, etsy and the www in general.
After the Eclipse is over, turn everything back on. I know it sounds weird, but please trust me. :-)

Eclipse times:
9:14 am PDT
10:14 am MDT
11:14 am CDT
12:14 pm EDT

Wear protective eyewear if you have them or do not stare directly into it. Regular sunglasses wont work. Be sure to protect your eyes!

So I guess the only question to ask is: ARE YOU READY TO CHANGE?  Think about it...

Namaste!

The Venus and Pluto Marker

Venus and Pluto aspects are the most popular Astrological search on google and with good reason!

Venus represents love and beauty but it also rules money and possessions.  Pluto represents radical transformation, sex, regeneration and intensity. It also rules obsessions. So you have obsession and possession, love and sex... Oh boy!

Venus and Pluto are twin flames.  Venus's soulmate is Mars and Pluto's is Asteroid Persephone.
But when these two planets meet, a possible twin flame connection is indicated. (Possible because the whole chart must be examined).

As of August 15, Venus and Pluto are in opposition. This opposition will continue throughout tomorrow's Great American Eclipse on August 21.
What does this mean for Twin Flames specifically?

When Venus and Pluto are in opposition, the following applies:
Obsessions, Insatiable passion, values, possessions, feeling owned, wanting to own and be owned, complete and utter transformation, death of the ego, fears come up stronger than ever, fear of love, fear of sex yet compulsively drawn to both, running, chasing, clinging to one another for dear life, unable to forget or think of anyone else, feeling unworthy, painful desire to merge into one another, not being able to merge into one another, obstacles, you are mine, I am afraid to be yours but I can't help it, I have never felt this way before, you will never feel this way again, lots of why? And lots of how?

These energies are present in the Eclipse for one purpose: To be released.  These feelings are standing in the way of your Twin Flame Reunion.  The number one element here is fear. Fear must die and no one kills it better than Pluto. Let Pluto do its thing.  Give all fears related to your Venus over to Pluto. He will burn them so his beloved can be free and more beautiful than ever.

Venus needs to shine but in most Twin Flame charts she is damaged and carries a lot of karma that must be released. Pluto is our fearless power more so than Mars because Mars does not possess Pluto's deep insights and intensity.

Prepare for tomorrow's Eclipse by making a list of all things related to Venus that feel damaged. Write them down and tomorrow-burn them.

Venus and Pluto contacts free us from false beliefs around love that come from the ego.  The ego in Twin Flame Reunion must be dismantled and defeated. I am so excited for all of us!
It is time to heal so we can all experience the greatest power in the Universe- LOVE.

Neptune

NEPTUNE

In my experience, I have seen all karmic planets get a bad reputation.  There are many fallacies surrounding karmic planets: Neptune, Saturn, Pluto, Uranus and Jupiter.

These are the outer planets and are slow moving.  The misconception is that since they are generational planets (one generation will have these planets in a certain sign) they do not matter and they must not be given too much weight.  This may be true when these planets are making aspects to each other, but when they start speaking to the inner planets: Mercury, Mars, Venus, Sun, Moon or to our angles: Ascendant, IC, Descendant and MC the story changes.

Since these planets are the karmic planets, they must always be considered in Twin Flame charts.  A Twin Flame is a karmic connection.  If you and your Twin were karma free, you would not exist on earth.

Now that you have heard my spiel, let's clear Neptune's bad name.

Neptune is ruled by Pisces and its natural habitat in a chart is the 12th House.  Neptune and the 12th house are the Spiritual markers in a chart.  What is happening with Neptune and with your 12th house is the first thing I look at.  Twin Flames are a SPIRITUAL union, therefore Neptune and 12th house connections will be prominent.  Squares to Neptune indicate a loss of clarity and reality.  This is where Neptune begins to falter.  It is often associated with drug addictions, delusions and illusions.

Since Neptune rules mirrors it will reflect what is already distorted and broken.  Neptune is not the scapegoat for our downfall. The planet of Ascension is simply mirroring back what must be healed and changed.

This is coming from a perspective that our 3D world is our reality, but as Twins we understand that this world is an illusion and our spiritual connections (5D) is our truth.

The challenge of Neptune is asking exactly this: That you abandon what you see and embrace what you feel. This implies a leap of faith since what you feel makes no sense in 3D, therefore you must be crazy.  Anytime you feel crazy, we look at Neptune and we must begin to dismantle your version of 3D reality. So I approach these contacts backwards because Twin Flame Unions are NOT like any other.  Your truth is only to be found in the spiritual union, something your neighbor will never understand, so we won't hire him to do your Twin Flame Chart. 

The most important step towards Twin Flame Reunion is to embrace what makes no sense.  

Of course, society will tell us that what we feel and see "in your head" is not reality and that we are deluded, too romantic or non-committal. We dream of a perfect lover that doesn't exist. The Prince will never come and we must settle for a footman.  People with Venus in the 12th house, Venus in Pisces or Venus Square Neptune can testify to these horrible statements.  Again, at least one of the twins will have these markers or they will show up in your "synastry" (two charts superimposed) or the composite (the chart of the relationship).

The challenge to this is to embrace your truth.  What a feat when the whole world is telling you that you are crazy. Well, I am here to tell you that you are right on the money and on a Twin Flame journey.  Your perfect lover is your twin and the relationship will be the most difficult you will ever have.  When it comes to Twin Flame relationships, use Neptune as your guide. The planet is here to whisper in your ear: "Don't forget you Twin Flame. They are here looking for you. Don't despair and don't give up".

I hope you enjoyed this article. If you need assistance towards your reunion or you don't understand what is happening and are confused, consider taking a peek at my Astrology reading page.

As always, Namaste.

The Moon

In Astrology, the Moon represents our needs, our deepest feelings, and our fears. Squares and oppositions to the Moon always signify deep seated fears that must be confronted and healed. Depending on the planet that squares the Moon, we can see what karmic lessons are to be faced, resolved and healed once and for all.

In Twin Flame Astrology, contacts to the Moon highlight the needs and fears of the Twin Flame pair.
It is imperative to look at the individual Moons and any aspects in each natal chart.  This is how we can investigate the root of your connection and what is standing in the way.

The more powerful the planet squaring the Moon, the greater the rewards.  Pluto, for example, is the planet that burns down what is faulty and helps us to achieve great transformation.
It is not unusual to see Pluto/Moon contacts in Twin Flame Astrology as this connection is all about transformation and burning down outdated ego systems.

Of course, Moon contacts to other planets such as Venus or Neptune are also quite common in Twin Flame charts.  The Moon is healed by Venus and Neptune.  When these two planets form a square aspect to the Moon, there is an urgent need to heal the feeling of being unloved, unlovable and undeserving. Often times, Anxiety Disorders can be determined by looking at difficult aspects to the Moon in natal charts. 

The Moon is ruled by Cancer and its natural habitat in a chart is the 4th House. It is the house of roots, home and where we go to be nurtured.  The Moon is our soft, inner core.  Imaginary friends and foes live on our Moon.  Mothers and maternal figures are also represented by the Moon.  The Moon is who we are when we are in a fetal position under the covers on a chilly night. 

Honor Thy Moon.  Resolve any conflicts to the Moon in order to be happy.

Namaste, Aleishtar

Is This My Twin Flame?

Astrologers, Psychics and Tarot Readers are being asked this question over and over again.
Even when we give you the answer, it is never enough. You still doubt. WHY?

The first step towards Twin Reunion is overcoming doubt.  This, unfortunately, must be done alone often time without any support. There is a reason for this.  The ego that doubts must be dismantled before a Twin Flame Reunion can occur.

The ego is designed to protect us while here on earth. A Twin Flame encounter will shatter our false sense of security making the ego go into overdrive.  The more you doubt, the more possible it is that you have met your twin.

My personal pet peeve are Astrologers and Psychics who flat out tell you this person is not your Twin.  How do they know? This information is never given to them, regardless of how good they are.
When you read a chart or cards for a Twin, we as occultists enter into a sacred contract with the Universe to assist you on your journey by dispelling fears and offer clarity.

I will never tell you that this person is not your Twin Flame because I would be violating a sacred contract.  If you are interested in getting an Astrology reading, I assume you already know this person is your twin.  My job as a twin soul astrologer is to clarify all the clutter that stands in the way of your reunion.  Both for you and you twin flame.

ARE THERE TWIN SOUL MARKERS IN ASTROLOGY?

Yes, there are.  There are astrological markers of a Twin Flame Connection that explain why you feel the way you do.  IT IS WRITTEN.  However, not all markers are the same. In order to understand them for each set of twin flames, one must examine the entire astral picture.  There are no cookie cutter formulas.

My job is to help you lift the fog and the fear so you may walk confidently towards your sacred reunion.

Namaste, Aleishtar.
