My 12^th grade art instructor once said that if you make a mistake- work with it- build around it-create something from it. There’s a manifestation waiting to happen, but it can’t happen until you can come to terms with whatever it was that distorted your piece. I suppose the same idea applies to life.  We all make mistakes. Regrets. We meet people we wish we never did. What more is there to say than shit happens?  These all represent those distortions my art instructor referred to. Distortions-to our minds, to our emotions -to the daily patterns we’ve familiarized and adjusted ourselves to. The distortion is there, and all that’s left to do is work with it. Build around it. Create something from it. There’s a manifestation waiting to happen, but it can’t happen until you come to terms with it. 

Aquarius woman is generally very friendly and sweet lady who is not just intelligent, but often genius. She may seem detached from the rest of the world but actually she is extremely alert, never missing a fine detail. She is very intuitive and often scary psychic. She is born with a fine tool that many others seemed to lack. Innately an alarm goes off inside of her telling her instantaneously something is not right.

When she finds that a lover has made a mistake that breaches their trust and loyalty she instantly becomes detached from the relationship. It is not that she is unable to forgive; it is that the purity of the relationship has been tainted with. She requires a pure clean connection with a man, so once the connection becomes fuzzy she disconnects and moves on to a new man who is able to provide her with purity. 

 …and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. 
A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. 
A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master…”
