Your Spiritual Compatibility 3 key questions to ask

by S. K. Smith

Source: California Psychics

Your partner makes you laugh. You both enjoy the same sorts of activities. And best of all, you're amazingly physically attracted to each other. Sounds like a perfect match, right? Well, sort of…

While all of these characteristics (and more!) play a key role in your compatibility as a couple, when it comes to standing the test of time as a pair, what really counts more than any of these assessments is your spiritual compatibility.

Think about it. While most of us have a very good idea - maybe even a list or two - of what we think will make us happy in a relationship, reality often proves different from what we imagine. In other words, the intricacies of what makes a couple work are not just about how you like to spend your Sundays and if your partner meets a certain height or weight requirement. It's more about your beliefs of right and wrong, your compassion, faith in humanity, and how it relates to each other.

No matter what stage of a relationship you're in, if you want to gauge your spiritual compatibility, ask yourself these three make-or-break questions.

1. Are you both on a path?
While it's easy to mistake "shared religious beliefs" for a similar spiritual path, the real comparison is deeper than that. Some people let life happen to them without considering their purpose. Others participate in shaping their own destinies, working on themselves inside and out. Ideally, you and your partner should fall on the same side of this equation.

Though odds are, the specifics of your "paths" are different (after all, spiritually speaking, no two journeys are the same). If one of you acknowledges an internal life, a connectedness to the world and the desire to grow for example, and the other is lacking self-awareness or is content with the status quo despite difficulties, coexistence may prove difficult. For starters, one of you may outgrow the other surprisingly quickly. And even if that doesn't happen, you may find you have different priorities.

That said, if one of you is on a journey of growth and the other doesn't see things that way, you're not necessarily destined for splitsville. We're each here to fulfill the aspects of ourselves that we deem worthy (or necessary) and for that reason, what's right for one person, isn't necessarily right for another. Expecting your mate to believe exactly as you do (or to have the same lessons to learn) is foolish no matter what. What is vital is that you respect each other's points of view - unconditionally!

2. Do you share a world view?
While aspects of a "world view" can (and often do) relate to politics and religion, the spiritual truth of this question goes beyond your beliefs about foreign and economic policy or where you go to worship. What it really comes down to is a shared moral code. Do you both have faith in humanity and see all human beings as equal? Are you compassionate when it comes to suffering? Do you have the same idea of right and wrong? If you find yourselves at odds on these basic questions - as they relate to big picture politics, religion or the intimate details of how you treat people every day - you're in for an uphill battle. Provided you're both firm in your beliefs, the discrepancies will wreak havoc with your perceptions of each other, which can lead to the erosion of your relationship.

Seemingly minor when considered individually, these little annoyances will add up and create discord, particularly when two people are faced with entirely opposing world views. For instance, if you feel firmly that poverty should be eradicated and your partner believes solely in personal responsibility, you may begin to see them as cold while they'll see you as foolish - perceptions that will affect your experience of them each day and your ability to make joint decisions.

Naturally, differences of opinion are to be expected in any partnership, but if you don't see eye to eye on the issues you each deem important, you'll find it difficult to maintain a team spirit, especially in trying times.

3. Are you "at home" together?
Finally, there is something magical about spiritual compatibility that has little to do with practicality and everything to do with feeling safe, special and at home with your partner. If you find yourself continually questioning your relationship, wondering if it's right and if your mate sees you the same way you see them, odds are, something is off. The universe is trying to tell you something!

Though being wrong for each other may seem impossible when you feel that "inexplicable connection" to someone, it's vital to remember that spiritually aligned relationships are virtually drama free. That doesn't mean they're lacking for passion, it's that they're based in deep, acknowledged, experienced love - not desire, aspiration or the need to fill a void.

Likewise, they don't usually require a major fight - they just align. If you're faced with a situation that you desperately want but it doesn't seem to be working, remember that it is possible to be in synch with each others' journeys and world views and still be wrong for each other on a deeper level. Part of being a spiritual person is being attuned with your instincts, and when something is right, you will instinctively feel peaceful and sound.

Seeing the chakras of love by Jen Tartaglione

Russell Grant´s Weekly Horoscopes - Saturday 16 May 2009 http://www.itccommunications.net/stars3.html

Source: California Psychics

One of my friends once made the comment that my love life could be its own E! True Hollywood Story. It's true - I seem to attract drama in most areas of my life. Drama can be fun and keep you on your toes, but it can also be exhausting and cause unnecessary stress. So when I started getting serious with a relatively drama free guy, my anxiety senses tingled into overdrive. I decided to talk with Psychic Jamie ext. 5107 to see what was really going on.

I've had readings with psychics before, perk of the job, but I have never felt such a strong connection. Everything she said from the first moment we began just clicked with me. She immediately picked up on what was bothering me and what I was afraid to admit.

"It seems like you and your ex have some unfinished business that is preventing you from really opening up to your current flame. I see regret on his part, did he cheat on you?"

I swallowed hard as painful memories resurfaced. "Yes, he did. I can't understand why I'm hanging on to this."

She giggled, "What girl doesn't like flattery? I have lots of callers who wish they were in your shoes, with a blooming love on one side and a tumultuous passionate ex on the other. But to be honest, you know in your heart your ex is not the right guy. He's changed and what not, but that time has passed."

I felt a sense of relief - I already knew what she said was true, but sometimes I just have to hear it from someone else to fully believe it.

"Now that that's out of the way, let's get to what I really want to talk about!" she laughed. "I just get goosebumps when I tune into your boyfriend. He just has such honest, loving intentions. I think I really love him!"

Jamie went on to tell me how her favorite readings are love readings because she can actually see a person's heart chakra and intentions. When something is amiss in a relationship she can see a kink or hazy images. But in the case of my boyfriend she described something completely different.

"When someone is really in love, I see the most beautiful green color, like a sparkling emerald. With your boyfriend, not only does he have that bright emerald color, but his emerald is pulsing and growing. He also is very unique because there is a pink color that intermingles with the green which shows me that not only is he in love with you, but he is just a compassionate good-hearted person."

She began speaking about his parents - whom I'd only met once and was nervous around due to their strong religious beliefs. She spoke of how much they liked me and then stopped herself abruptly. "Wait, you have met them right?"

I explained that I'd only met them once and she laughed. "Oh well they hear about you. You make their son happy!"

Jamie told me that she could sense my nervousness about having someone's love so unconditionally when normally I expect games - I seem to second guess everything! But she offered very healing advice. "Talk to your ex and gently explain your feelings. Then let it go for good and focus on your true path," she advised.

"You have free will and ultimately only you can describe who you choose to be with, but if you stay with your current boyfriend, I see him loving you forever. Be confident in yourself because your anxiety has disappeared since you first called me!"

Depressed? Lift Your Spirits. Our psychics tell you how...

Source: California Psychics

So, it's just one of those days, or weeks, when your spirits seem to be off kilter. Perhaps it's a reaction to something someone said (or did!), the morning news, the call you got from your lover - or maybe you just woke up feeling that way.

Because every day counts to the spiritually minded soul, you really hate letting your gloomy side take over when you're facing an otherwise beautiful day. So what can you do besides forcing a smile on your face to try to turn your doldrums around? We asked our psychics what tips they use to turn a mood around.

It's important to be proactive about your out-of-sorts feelings, especially if you tend to worry, get worked up or affect others easily with your blues. Some of our psychics, especially those who are involved in astrology, look to the heavens first, to see if the stars may be influencing their state of mind.

"Studying and understanding the constantly changing astrological patterns, allows me to adjust, change or ignore what's happening around me, until the energies change," tells Alison ext. 9885.

"If a planetary transit is affecting me I can find out how long it will last. And, if I still need a little help with my mood, I have my network of healers and intuitives. I'll talk it out with one of them, and usually by the time we finish, I feel better. Once the fear that something might be wrong is gone, I can relax and breathe again," Judianne ext. 5129 reveals.

Our intuitives say that a good talk with a wise friend, confidant or their spirit guides, helps bring balance back to any glum day. "I go to my mom or two trusted friends when I get uneasy," says Tisha ext. 5145 who also believes that it's natural to connect with others to gain insight into our feelings. "By commiserating, we naturally come away refreshed," she counsels.

"When I find myself feeling down, I remind myself that I may have accidentally stepped on the wrong escalator - and fortunately there always is another one going up… Next, I connect with a friend on my special list that I know can support and motivate me - several are also psychic. I am always amazed at my psychic friends' ability to quickly connect with me. They give me wisdom that creates a swift moment of change for me," reports Abrielle ext. 9894.

Other psychics find looking to their spiritual beliefs or practice allows them to let go of uneasy feelings. The first thing Maria ext. 5146 does is to return to her center in stillness. "I then ask myself if there is anything basic in my life - my diet, exercise, sleep or meditation - that might account for how I feel." A minor change in any of these areas is often the fresh energy the intuitive needs to lighten up emotionally.

"Thinking positive is a very powerful catalyst for turning things around. I expect things to improve," tells William ext. 5131. "I always know that I have the choice to be happy or sad, because happiness is within my reach as long as I decide to look for it."

Our psychics also report that simple activities are highly effective for shooing away the blues - walks, listening to music, as well as anything that requires a simple change of environment topped their lists.

"I actually allow myself a short while to feel down and wonder about what is really going on," Maryanne ext. 9146 tells. She also finds that the serenity of a bike ride or a walk in nature, a visit to a local farmer's market, or looking at art, can bring about a change of perspective.

Aylan ext. 9055 plays her flute, sits by her fireplace, takes hikes, or goes for a swim, while Anasela ext. 5154 swears by the spiritual nourishment of a random act of kindness. "The endorphin release you get back from it is incredible. "Smile, open a door for someone at the market, ask a co-worker stuck at their desk if you can bring back lunch for them… any little thing that helps you focus on someone else and gets you're mind out of autopilot works."

Nobody is immune from having a so-so day - and it's true that usually they just come and they go. The thing is, there's really no need to walk around feeling a bit blue, especially when you have a busy day planned. Lifting your spirits, our psychics say, usually just takes a little self-understanding.

Dark Side of Taurus

Source: California Psychics

"Greed is good." At least that's the opinion of Gordon Gekko in the film Wall Street. Gekko is a cutthroat Wall Street trader, the proverbial bad Bull. After all, Taurus is a sensual Earth sign that rules money and physical desires. The fallen Bull usually has a ruthless craving for money, power, food, sex or other extreme desires. It's all about greed and gluttony.

Bernard Madoff, Saddam Hussein and Adolf Hitler are excellent examples of the dark side of Taurus. Madoff was recently convicted of the largest Ponzi scheme perpetrated by one person. He swindled an estimated $65 billion from thousands of investors. But Madoff is a saint compared to Hussein and Hitler, two of the most brutal dictators in modern history. Dominance was their obsession.

Interestingly, Madoff and Hussein were born just a year apart and have some astrological elements in common. They both have Sun conjunct Uranus in Taurus, which gave them a rebellious streak. They obviously considered themselves above the law. They also have Pluto afflicting an Aries planet - Mercury for Madoff and Venus for Hussein. Pluto is power, while Aries is individuality, so a clash between the two can indicate extreme willfulness. Additionally, the two men have Saturn, the planet of hardship and karma, in Aries. It was their karma to have their personal liberties taken away through prison for Madoff, and execution for Hussein.

Let's take a deeper look at the dark side of Taurus through the charts of these three Bulls.

Bernard Madoff - April 29, 1938
Madoff has Sun, Venus and Uranus in Taurus. Venus in Taurus gives him a love of money and a talent for making it. Madoff has Moon in either Aries or Taurus, depending on his time of birth. All of this bullish energy certainly intensified his earning power. Unfortunately, it also heightened his greed. In fairness, he was probably also influenced by his clients' expectations of his ability to generate high returns on their investments. In any case, he was overly fixated on money.

If Madoff was born before 10 a.m., he'd have Moon in Aries (along with Mercury and Saturn). Selfishness was part of his downfall as well. Additionally, his Moon would square Pluto, making him emotionally obsessive about security. Certainly he'd be motivated by the need for power and independence as a way to feel secure. His saving grace is a well-aspected Neptune, which prompted Madoff to turn himself in and confess his crimes. It's a start, at least, on the path to redemption, which may take many lifetimes to complete.

Saddam Hussein - April 28, 1937
Having Sun, Mercury and Uranus in Taurus gave Hussein a pragmatic view of the world. In keeping with his progressive Sun-Uranus conjunction, Hussein was a revolutionary who considered himself a modernizer of Iraq. The fixed-sign emphasis indicates phenomenal determination and the ability to rule with an iron fist. The Iraqi dictator was stubborn, headstrong and magnetic. His Moon was either in powerful, controlling Scorpio or fiery, impulsive Sagittarius. Jupiter in Capricorn increased his pragmatism and gave him a flair for management and politics.

It's interesting to note that on September 11, 2001, transiting Neptune was directly afflicting his Sun-Uranus conjunction. Neptune is the planet of sacrifice. Even though weapons of mass destruction were never found in Iraq, the terrorist attacks on the United States were the beginning of the end for Hussein. In December 2003, while still under Neptune's influence, he was captured and eventually executed for crimes against humanity.

Adolf Hitler - April 20, 1889
Undoubtedly the most reviled Bull of all time is Hitler. The normally easy-going sign of Taurus was unrecognizable in the German dictator. During his rule, he killed as many as 16 million civilians, including an estimated six million Jews. Multiple Taurus planets - Sun, Venus and Mars - gave Hitler, like Hussein, a fixed purpose. Moon in Capricorn heightened his pragmatism and gave him a stoic emotional nature. And like Hussein, he had Jupiter in Capricorn, indicating a talent for politics.

But perhaps Hitler's main influence was Saturn in Leo, the sign of leadership and pride. Because it was afflicted, it gave him the drive to rule - and obliterate anyone who stood in his way. What's more, Saturn afflictions to Venus and Mars repressed his normal desires and made him incapable of compassion. The lack of water signs in his chart would further indicate a penchant for cruelty. This Taurus was definitely the worst example of the sign.

All signs of the zodiac have their positive and negative traits. Most of us exhibit both sides of the equation at one time or another. Hopefully, we work through the negativity to become the best our sign can be.
