Here’s to the friends who are aware of our inner selves.
The soul sisters, soul brothers, and soul siblings who comprehend our hearts and minds like no one else can.
When we meet them, it’s as if our entire being says, “Ah, there you are.” We can’t believe we’ve gone this long without them, and we can’t remember life before they arrived.
They are our twin fires, and we can see ourselves and the world around us more clearly because of them.
Soul siblings know what to ask and when to ask it; their inquiries are never intrusive, but rather sincere expressions of care and concern.
Soul siblings understand that sometimes we need space, sometimes we need an embrace, and sometimes we need both.
Soul siblings are the folks who show up at airports to pick us up; they’re the ones who come over when we’re having a bad day, bring us coffee, and email us funny things just because they know it’ll make us laugh.
We don’t have to tell them that we could use their help; they already know.
They’re the ones who put the finishing touches on our phrases. Who hears our laughs and joins in the fun. They’re crying right along with us.
Without a trace of jealously or jealousy, our soul siblings congratulate us on our accomplishments.
They are our champions, supporters, and citizens. Our success is dependent on theirs. Our happiness is their happiness. And when we fall down, as we all do at some point, our siblings are there to encourage us to get back up.
Here’s to our soul siblings, the ones who gaze into our hearts and see all that is beautiful, as well as the ones who don’t shy away from seeing our messes.

What does it mean to be a soul sister or a soul brother?
True friendships are something we all value. Friends that persist with us through thick and thin, enjoy our company, and whom we can completely confide in and trust are few and few between. And if you’re fortunate enough to have discovered someone you can truly call a friend, the constant companionship and connection you share enriches your life. “True blue and similar,” they are the one person in the world you know will always be there for you.
It’s sometimes difficult to pinpoint what makes you wonderful pals. Yes, you agree on the majority of topics, love similar activities, identify with each other’s suffering and concerns, and admire each other’s unique features. You can’t fathom life without them, either. However, your friendship has an unseen component that can be difficult to explain: a soul tie. It’s the soul connection that brought you together in the first place, and it’s what binds your hearts in a lasting friendship.
My mother’s connection with Fern was always something I admired. Fern died on my mother’s birthday, a testament to the importance of their 60-year friendship. My mother had a dream the night before she died that Fern had moved on. “Soul sisters,” they said, “never getting tired of each other’s company, going to the movies every Friday night, talking on the phone nonstop, and sharing just about everything except their toothbrushes.” Mom, Fern, and Fern’s husband Joe all worked in the same building in the 1950s, thus their friendship began there. Joe died a few years after they met, and Fern and Mom (who was divorced) became even closer as a result of his death. They both have the same shyness personality characteristic. As a result, they didn’t date very often. Instead, they proved to be true and committed friends to one another, a sort of soul marriage. Their link was karmic, which meant they had something to make up for from a previous life. This existence was supposed to set the foundation for redemption, to make up for the pain of the previous life. They had developed an important spiritual alliance to further each other’s consciousness and link as beloved friends by supporting and encouraging one other’s growth.
The people who come into your life are there because they have a connection to your soul. They are kindred spirits who, as members of your soul group, have a common goal of raising each other’s consciousness and contributing something unique to the world. This kinship arose from a lifetime of shared experiences, and you evolved as a result, becoming more in tune with each other and, hopefully, more united through love. As “kin (family),” your relationship is at ease and familiar, despite the fact that you are only reuniting after a period of separation.
Kindred friends appear in your life at at the right time. Some may only take center stage for a short time, just long enough to fulfill a promise they made to favorably influence your life, such as guiding you toward your greater purpose, teaching you a vital lesson, or even presenting you to your soul mate. They have an impact on your heart and life in ways that you believe are “meant-to-be,” opening doors to new experiences and urging you to become more truly you.
Kindred companions are often like mirrors, reflecting back to you secret aspects of your own nature. They may have pieces that are less developed in your personality, or even the polar opposite. You may merely wish you possessed the same attributes or possessed a virtue that they do. They entice you into adopting a different way of life in this way. For example, your friend may be vibrant, enthusiastic, talkative, and flashy, whereas you are a shrinking violet who prefers to blend into the throng and remain silent unless spoken to. While you’re doing this, you’re envious of her style, which gets her recognized and seems to make things go her way. If that’s the case, your friend is a fantastic instructor who can help you incorporate some of her energy into your own. She is your savior, drawing you out of your shell and showing you that you, too, can have it all if you only take more risks and shine. Of course, the friendship is mutually beneficial because your friend acquires experience in positively touching others’ lives, learns more about herself via your reflection, and receives praise for simply being a loyal friend at the end of life’s journey.
“Each friend represents a world in us, a world potentially not born until they arrive,” observed Anas Nin, a bohemian French author, “and it is only by this encounter that a new world is born.”
Some close friends introduce us to a whole new universe and a shared destiny. You develop a significant spiritual bond in order to carry out a plan that has more purpose and benefits than the emotional bond you have as friends. You and your friend both have a piece of the fate jigsaw, and it isn’t until you meet that you get a clear picture of the work ahead of you. When two creative people cooperate to make a film, publish a book, or start a software firm, this is the case. They join forces not only because their talents complement one another or because it seems like a good idea because they love working together, but also because their fate is dependent on each of them doing their part. They co-created the opportunities to realize their destiny through collaborative work, which was founded on a karmic accord.
Friends teach us about human love relationships in the end: how to go through the trials of friendship and grow closer rather than further apart. Friendships are not without their difficulties, especially when personalities clash, making it tough to see eye to eye at times. In addition, defeating patterns from previous lives are frequently reproduced in this one so that both parties learn the beneficial lesson they intended to acquire. Your souls’ deepest desire is to choose love over betrayal, rage, judgment, or distance. And each life you picked was perfectly tailored to teach you about the importance of making the right love decision. We have the greatest potential to open our hearts to the power of love through the bonds of friendship.

The way her presence transforms you into this elevated and joyful entity is almost magical.
Soul sisters are connected in more ways than one. It’s difficult to put into words the feeling you get when you know you have an unending supply of love, comfort, and friendship from a single individual.

What is the definition of a soul best friend?
Marisa Donnelly is the author of this piece. What exactly is a’soul friendship?’ A bond that transcends the physical and even the emotional. A spiritual tie between two souls vibrating and intertwining in celebration, understanding, passion, and tranquility.
What are the responsibilities of soul sisters?
In my life, I’ve met a number of incredible women. Some have become actual lifelong friends, while others I’ve only met for a brief moment, such as yesterday while trying on high heels. Another woman was looking in the mirror while trying on the same pair as I was. I went over to stand next to her instead of waiting for her to move so I could check how my shoes looked.
We started discussing about how much we enjoy wearing heels, how they make us feel, how much fun they are, and how they make our legs appear longer. We didn’t go into the reasons why we shouldn’t: lengthy Northeast winters, comfort, and pragmatism, to name a few. We had so much fun together that we both ended up buying many pairs.
I thought to myself as we parted, “Damn, I didn’t even get her number.” She was like a soul sister to me. The warm energy that was transferred between us felt like that of a true soul sister.
If you send a picture of yourself in a dressing room wearing a new bra with the text “Hey, you gotta check out these bras!” to a true soul sister, she won’t bat an eye. They enhance the appearance of your boobs. They’d be perfect for you!
True soul sisters don’t mind if you show up braless at their house to watch The Bachelor.
Because she has done the same for you so many times, a true soul sister knows she may call you and verbally spew up on you, and you will clean it up by telling her what she needs to hear.
True soul sisters don’t need to be reassured of your friendship all of the time. She doesn’t need to speak with you every week, month, or six months.
Even if you can’t get back to her right immediately, a true soul sister understands she can blow up your phone. She knows you’ll do it as soon as you’re able.
When anything bothers you, a true soul sister knows precisely what you’re thinking. She can offer you a gaze that says, “Yes, I understand.” I’m experiencing that as well. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, who
A true soul sister understands that she can say things to you about her children, husband, career, or mother that she doesn’t mean. She understands that you understand what she actually means; all she needs to do now is phrase it in a different way. You are a safe haven for her, and she is a safe haven for you.
If she’s late, forgets something, or cries during your lunch date, a true soul sister doesn’t need to justify herself.
A true soul sister will always listen to you without responding. She doesn’t always know what to say, and she doesn’t always know how to help. You’re both at ease with the quiet that can exist between the two of you.
If something is amiss, a true soul sister can tell by the tone of your voice, the way you stand, and how you walk. She understands how pissed you can get and how to handle it. You’ve saved each other from hitting someone in the throat (more than once).
Even if she can’t be present to help, a true soul sister knows what you need when you need it. It’s almost as if simply knowing she knows is enough.
Eat the chocolate, purchase the lingerie, run the race, do the things, says a true soul sister. She also understands when you need to chill the heck out.
Your chemistry shifts when you’re with a true soul sister. It doesn’t matter if she’s your younger sister, a 12-year-old acquaintance you met in art class, or a woman you spent an hour trying on shoes with. She is a person who accepts you for who you are.
A soul sister is something that every woman deserves. Because of the strong women in my life, I am a better person. These are true companions. We rapidly learn to appreciate their gifts, to allow them enrich who we are, to show up, to love them, and to be honest with them when we are fortunate enough to have one (or more). It is critical that we express our gratitude to them.
We do it by volunteering to kick someone in the balls for them on occasion. On a really difficult morning, we may offer them a latte. We sometimes just let them cry and don’t mind if snot and tears end up in our hair.
My best sort of therapy is having a true soul sister, especially when one of us remembers to bring the wine.
What are polar signs, and what do they mean?
It is said that opposites attract. But here’s the thing: it isn’t always straightforward. Anyone who has dated their polar opposite knows how difficult it is to make things work. Opposites exist in the stars, just as they do in reality. The zodiac features cosmic pairs known as polarities, which are two signs that are six signs apart and lie completely opposite each other on the ellipse. Polarities include Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, and Libra, the seventh; Taurus, the second sign of the zodiac, and Scorpio, the eighth, are also polarities.
Are the zodiac signs Virgo and Pisces sibling signs?
The orderly Virgo is Pisces’ sister sign. Both are changeable signs, which means they are adaptable. Virgos can adapt to practical concerns like a change in schedule or unexpected encounters, while Pisces go with the flow of their emotions and sparkling imagination.
