Should twins have the same destiny just because they share identical astrological
charts? How come twins can be so different, one being rich, the other
one poor, one being successful, the other one a failure.
Where
it concerns astrology, the subject of twins and their destinies has always
been amongst the more teasing issues of life. To many people, the subject
of twins is one of the more puzzling and subtle topics in their quest
to understand destiny.
We
can use the example of two brothers.
I
would like to propose a consideration that may at least take us away from
the Time aspect of astrology or horoscopes of twins and permit a different
scope. In other words, once we raised the question of twins sharing or
not sharing similar destinies, an accent has been put on the time aspect,
i.e. the identical astrological charts. But an identical astrological
chart is but one of the aspects that link twins.
The
matter remains confusing as long as we concentrate on the time aspect
and it is the time aspect that has been puzzling people. Well, the time
aspect may be one of the lesser significant things Twins have in common,
where it comes to understanding the difference in their destinies.
Mostly
we will point to the time aspect to show how twins are or should be the
same, but it is the same time aspect that confuses us when we see twins
are dissimilar.
Just
think what else, besides the same astrological charts, twins have in common.
Right, twins have in common that their system developed inside the same
mother.
If
a woman falls pregnant, she becomes the biological-physiological recource
for the child to be. Her constitution, condition, blood quality and Qi
resonance will be tapped into by the embryo in a complicated cycle of
development.
So
the question becomes will the child be able to tap into the right resources,
in the right proportions at the appointed time. If a woman is pregnant
with two children, the question becomes, how are these resources shared.
Are the resources devided equally over the two children, no they are not.
Nothing
in our universe is equal. Something is always more yin than yang or more
yang than yin.
We
need a balance between yin and yang, but in order to reach a healthy,
happy and successful life and build resistence against destiny, we need
to be a little more yang. In order to have resistence against destiny
- the limitations imposed on us by time and space we call problems - we
need our constitution and condition to be a little more yang.
If
the woman falls pregnant with one child, she becomes the resource for
this one embryo. If the woman carries two embryo's, one of them becomes
the more yang one.
This
is not a study into biochemics as it suffices to say that the one child
taps into the mother's Qi potential, where two children need to rely on
the same Qi potencial. The attraction and repulsion laws of Qi move over
indiscriminate paths and there will be thus unequal development in the
two brothers.
So
many question arise concerning twins. Why should one of them be filthy
rich, the other one filthy poor. One of them successful and strong, the
other floating about on bad luck. Maybe one of them even died at birth
or at an early age, et cetera.
Where
twins are concerned, I would be inclined to look at biological and physiological
factors, much more than the aspect of timing of birth. Any which way,
what came before the first breath - i.e. the deciding factor for astrological
charts - becomes a fairly interesting pointer to further study and understanding
the life of twins.
Only
concentrating on horoscopes of twins, we may not be able to solve these
problems. Looking at timing, we will not be able to satisfactory justify
similarities in twins, just as much as we will not be able to justify
certain differences.
A
mother carrying one child only, can devote all her Qi potential to this
one child.
The
child can then furthermore 'identify' with and readily tap into all of
her resources - protein, calcium, natrium -, undisturbingly extracting
only the best and later this may also help him to live out his astrological
chart to the fullest and enjoy an 'unsplit' destiny. The child tapped
into his mother's best Qi available at that time and from this the child
built up a strong 'resistence against destiny', i.e. a helpful tool to
overcome limitations of Time and Space in this game we call Life.
But,
as always, astrological chart and Destiny are not synonymous.
What
triggers our chart is our initial breath. Our initial breath triggers
our triple heater and this triggers other meridians and body systems.
It
has been a misconception that twins share one and the same destiny, they
do not. Charts may show archetypical similarities, but they are two different,
authentic, individuals, with only their astrological charts in common.
It
is a misconceptions that two identical horoscopes should produce identical
destinies. It is also a misconception that Fate relies on astrological
timing alone. Fate is in the entire build up of our physical and emotional
make up, blood being the denominator.
There
is an additional philosophical problem surrounding our idea that twins
should have the same type of lives. The question arises, should we even
wish for them to share the same miserable life, or should we wish for
them to be equally successful. The trouble here is, why we would desire
a 'good' life. We cannot desire merely good things in life, as this would
go against the laws of Qi.
Our
astrological chart merely identifies the structure of our astrological
potential. Similar charts may show we are sharing the same roof, it did
not say the other person was sleeping in the same room or even making
the same decisions.
All
apples hanging from the same tree can't be equally strong and tasty.
Our
constitution, physical and emotional condition, talents for attracting
certain destinies - or our ability to withstand, our resistance against,
certain destinies if you will - largely originated from our tree.
Consequently
- not at all ignoring genetic influence of father that may be more evident
in either one of them or yet other factors even -, one way I came to look
upon twins is they shared the same Qi resource, having come from the same
mother.
We
cannot say that two runners having been trained by the same coach, will
be equally successful, eventhough their race starts on the same moment.
How the training was consumed and how the tournament will fold out will
be due to highly individual factors.
Much
in keeping with yin-yang law of attraction and repulsion and during the
course of pregnancy, either embryo may then have extracted more of mother's
'yang' maybe, consequently leaving less yang for the other.
If
one of twins had heavier bones, it may mean he had been able to extract
more of his mother's calcium, somewhat leaving the other with 'second
best choice'. We may extend this.
The
whole process may have left one of them with the stronger kidneys, so
vital Qi, meridians and what have you, maybe one of them then being more
resistent to waves of destiny.
Regardless
of 'same' horoscope - and we may extend this to 'identical' house charts
as in Xuan Kong Feng Shui -, what our astrological charts may not show
is in what way our personal Qi (will) resonate(s) with the environmental
Qi, at any given time.
Our
chart does not show we had to share our potential with a sibling. Twins
may very well be polar opposites not the least bit answering to assumptions
of astrological determinism or reductionism, (one of them) perhaps not
living their lives up to 'astrological expectation'.
One
of the brothers may then be a more yin type, the other brother the more
yang type. Together they probably make the perfect couple, but for the
rest their destinies should not be mixed astrologically.
It
is perfectly imaginable that one of them should be the successful one
because of his inborn ability to 'tap into Qi' smoother than the other,
but would it not be equally imaginable that the less successful of the
twins may be in fact the one living up to his greatest potential, while
the 'successful' one still hasn't a clue about authenticity or choice.
What is a 'hundred percent' here, what is vital Qi here, and what is a
good destiny?
On
a side note, and much more unconventional, can we identify the 'good life'
by comparing the 'successful' and the 'criminal' twin and proclaim the
latter to have a less desirable destiny, or was destiny about doing-the-right-thing-at-the-right-moment-in-the-right-mind
(et cetera) and would it then be conceivable that the criminal, but with
a true sense of 'dream', was the one showing 'desirable' destiny.
Irrespective
of the similarity of their astrological charts, surely each one of the
twins would be autonomous from the moment of his or her initial breath,
making his or her own choices.
At
one point in my life and in understanding destiny, it became apparent
that each one of us shares the same cosmic rights: the right to live or
die whenever and however, be healthy or sick, or become a priest or criminal.
Priests sometimes become criminals, criminals sometimes turn into priests,
even when they are one of twins.
We
may not assume twins experience similar destinies, make the same decisions,
relate to their environments in an identical or even similar way or even
assume similarity in the way parents, siblings and educators - or Life
itself -, treats them. Both, having been faced with the same choice of
either turning left or right, may have decided on a different gate.
Apart
from same-sex and opposite-sex twins, there are three kinds of twins;
identical or not identical twins born from the same mother and (non-genetic)
astrological twins, people born apart from different mothers but in the
same moment in time. Research has shown striking similarities in destiny
of twins, yet other research has shown their lives have been as wide apart
as can be.
Twins
may have nothing more in common than their ancestors and their initial
breath. What has been programmed in blood and Qi for either one, remains
obscure.
