Identifying the Soul Age
For Chart Analysis
A recurrent question raised by both astrology practitioners and skeptics is how can it be that individuals born with the same chart (born within few minutes of each other), whether biological twins or astrology twins, will not necessarily lead the same lives.
An Astrological Civilization
Thanks to the current proliferation of blogs and vlogs that magnetize hundreds of thousands of dedicated followers, we are now witnessing astrology’s explosion into mainstream media and culture. As the appeal for traditional religious institutions diminishes, astrology and other spiritually oriented practices become both an alternative and a refuge.
Asteroid HYGEIA – Health and Healing in the Chart
(Published in the June 2019 edition of the Career Astrologer – OPA)
While significant bodies of knowledge about Medical Astrology are available, I would like to explore in this article the particular influence of the Asteroid Hygeia and her role in both “afflictions,” recovery, and in healers or doctors.

The Argument:
People born at the same time and place, whether biological twins, or astrological twins, would be the only ones to share the same chart, at least very closely so. The question asked is whether they should share the same personality traits and life course.
The answer to this argument is not straightforward, but more ambiguous and layered.
From limited observation, I have observed some interesting patterns. It appears that individuals born with the same chart – a phenomenon that can only occur if they are born the exact place and time – will share many similar tendencies and parallel life circumstances. We do hear about related stories, such as the twin sisters who both gave birth on the same day in 2012:
The Spectacular Parallel Fate of
the Jupiter/Neptune 1958 Super Stars
PRINCE & MICHAEL JACKSON, MADONNA, & KATE BUSH
Superstar and extraordinary talent musician Prince transitioned from this world on April 21, 2016, after collapsing in an elevator. Gone too soon, we would agree, for Prince was only 57.
Prince was born on June 7, 1958, on the early summer season that happened to see the birth of some of the most popular and recognizable pop icons of our time, among them Michael Jackson (Aug 29, 1958), Madonna (August 16, 1958), and across the ocean in Britain, Kate Bush (July 30, 1958).
It is truly astounding that this cluster of iconic famous pop music stars were born within a few weeks of each other. We look for the celestial configurations in the natal chart of these figures that could capture their iconic status, and notice they were all born with a Jupiter/Neptune conjunction on their North Node.

In astrology, every moment matters. The cosmic clock ticking, as planets (and luminaries) pursue their motion and form celestial patterns, provides a flavor, a meaning, or a message for each passing minute or for a whole epoch. We ourselves are the embodiment of the moment of our birth; as such, each one of us represents a moment in time. In other words, each fraction of time has a purpose.

Jupiter/Neptune conjunction / Nodes in Scorpio-Taurus / Uranus North Node
Powerful alignments are ahead of us for the year 2022. This includes the 13-year Jupiter/Neptune cycle which, this time, resets in the sign of
