What is a twin flame?

Twin flames, also called 'mirror souls' are people who share an intense soul connection and are believed to be each other's other half. While twin flame astrology has gained popularity in recent years, the concept actually dates back to ancient times. In fact, it was the Greek philosopher Plato, who first talked about twin flames in his text. Astrologically speaking, a twin flame is someone you share a deep spiritual connection which goes far beyond what you may have felt with your soulmate. Yes, they are different! Even though both share similarities such as magnetic, passionate and relatively quick-forming connections, the key difference is in the theory.
