One of the fundamental principles of Soul Astrology is the concept of personality-Soul fusion, so it’s worth checking in with yourself often to clarify your understanding by asking, “What is it really about?”
This brings you right back to the core questions of who you are, and why you are here.
What do we mean by personality?
…and what do we mean by Soul?
At a fundamental level, we are beings of light. Our whole energy field is made up of different frequencies, or vibrations, of light. All spiritual traditions, no matter what their differences, have at their core a message of light. Science is now also finding evidence that confirms this fact, that at our very deepest essence we are beings of light. That being the case then, what do we mean by personality and Soul?
What is Soul?
Your Soul can be thought of as your individualized expression of Divinity. If the whole of existence (seen and unseen; physical and non-physical) were an ocean, then you may consider your Soul to be like a glass of water taken from that ocean.
What is personality?
Your personality, somewhat ironically, is a little more difficult to explain and understand because so much human behavior seems to be so far removed from the light! On one level (keeping it simple) you can understand personality as everything you have ever learned: all of your behavior from this and past lives, that now exists as ‘seeds’ in your consciousness. Some are actively expressed while others lie ‘dormant’ awaiting for the right conditions in order to ripen.
Our personality and Soul are not separate but can be thought of as two ends of a spectrum of vibration or frequency, with a variety of expressions in-between. Our personality can therefore be thought of as simply a lower vibration expression of our Soul light.
Essentially, while there is no difference between us at our essence, any one of us can be at any point along the spectrum at any time. The ’seeds’ of both the ‘lower’ and ‘higher’ vibration expressions exist in us all, and can ‘ripen’ in different circumstances.
This is whole basis of Soul Astrology. When we look at a natal chart we can see all the potential ‘seeds’ – both ‘negative’ and ‘positive’ in our stream of consciousness.
As we become more self-aware, we are more able to navigate the spectrum for ourselves and choose higher expressions of our Soul Light.
