Soul Contracts
What is our purpose here on earth? That’s the big question, isn’t it?
What if it’s true that it’s already written in the stars and it’s only a matter of time until you figure it out?
Soul contracts are what we’re gonna talk about today. So grab your drink of choice and keep reading.
What are Soul Contracts?
Soul contracts are agreements souls make before entering this lifetime. Think of it like a cosmic agreement, detailing the key lessons, challenges, and significant relationships you’ll experience on Earth. These contracts aren’t about punishment or cosmic to-do lists—they’re designed to help us grow and evolve as spiritual beings.
These life lessons and experiences are meant to guide you toward higher consciousness and spiritual growth.
Some are joyful, while others, like difficult relationships and challenges, are there to help you heal, evolve, and ultimately rise to your full potential.
Soul contracts also outline connections with other souls. The people you meet aren’t random.
Some are teachers, some are students, and others?
They’re companions who stick with you through many lifetimes.
When you tap into your soul contract, life starts making sense.
You realize that you’re not just existing—you’re on a meaningful journey.
Dr. Michael Newton, Dolores Cannon, and Their Insights on Soul Contracts
If we’re gonna talk about soul contracts, we have to reference some great people.
Dr. Michael Newton, a psychologist and author, transformed the way we understand life between lives.
In his groundbreaking books Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls, Newton used hypnotherapy to explore what happens to the soul before birth, between lives, and its journey back to Earth.
His research revealed valuable information, including how souls create these contracts and why certain life paths are chosen.
His work has inspired millions searching for a purpose beyond the material world.
Dolores Cannon, another inspiring author, also delved deep into soul contracts.
Through her own spiritual hypnosis sessions, she discovered intricate details about how souls plan their lives on Earth.
These lessons can range from finding love or suffering heartbreak to facing illnesses or blossoming under challenges.
Even author Eckhart Tolle, renowned for his book The Power of Now, urges living in harmony with your inner purpose, an idea that beautifully ties into soul contracts.
The Three-Step Process to Discovering Soul Contracts
Understanding soul contracts isn’t as elusive as it may seem. By following these three steps, you’ll gain clarity about why you’re here and what your mission is.
Step 1: Follow Your Joy
Here’s a groundbreaking truth: Soul contracts are linked to your joy.
Not momentary happiness, but the kind of deep, lasting joy that makes your heart soar.
When something lights you up, that’s no coincidence—it’s a signpost pointing toward your real purpose on Earth.
So, ask yourself: What brings me true joy?
Not the fleeting kind that comes from buying a new handbag and forgetting about it two weeks later. Think deeper.
What lights you up so much that you can’t wait to do it again and again, regardless of material reward? That’s the energy you need to tap into.
According to this USC Applied Psychology article, genuinely liking your job can lead to greater success by boosting motivation, productivity, and overall well-being.
When you’re passionate about what you do, you naturally perform better and feel more fulfilled.
For a long time, I dreamt of being a blogger and running a YouTube channel, but I let “realism” get in the way.
People told me it was too late, that the competition was fierce, and that it would take years to succeed.
So for a decade, I pushed that dream aside and pursued translation work instead.
I even tried to manifest my own translation agency, thinking it would provide me with freedom.
But you know what? I didn’t really enjoy it.
I was settling, thinking it was a “smart” choice rather than the right choice for my soul.
When I finally broke free and embraced my blogging and YouTube dreams, my life took on a whole new energy.
I wake up excited to work, something I never imagined back in my 9-to-5 days.
The alignment I feel now with my purpose keeps me joyful, and that’s what I’m encouraging you to find.
If you had all the money in the world and didn’t need to work for a paycheck, what would you do?
That’s your clue.
Write it down, and don’t be afraid to dream big. You are worthy enough to pursue joy and live in alignment with your soul’s mission.
If you don’t know where to start, I have this free guide on how to find your purpose in 5 simple steps.
Affirmation time: In the comments below, write: I am worthy enough to follow my dreams.
Embracing Your True Passion
One major trap many people fall into is choosing a career based on what seems practical.
Maybe it seems more stable or slightly more enjoyable than their current situation, but it still doesn’t align with their passion.
Trust me, following practicality over passion is a risk.
You might end up chasing something that brings no true fulfillment, just like I did with my translation agency idea.
Sure, it seemed like a smart move, but my heart wasn’t in it.
Once I abandoned the “realist” mindset and embraced content creation, I found my joy.
Now, I absolutely love writing blog posts, making videos, and sharing my journey with you.
What about you? Could it be art, teaching, healing, or writing? The possibilities are endless, and they’re unique to you.
Soul contracts are all about passion.
Let passion, not realism, guide your decisions.

Step 2: Discover Your Midheaven in Your Birth Chart
The second step is to understand that soul contracts are written in the stars—literally.
Astrology can offer tremendous insights into your life’s mission, and one particularly informative aspect of your astrological chart is the Midheaven or MC.
Your Midheaven is rooted in your 10th House of career, public life, and bigger-picture ambitions.
It provides insight into the type of work that will bring you fulfillment and how you are meant to be seen by the world.
But don’t be fooled into thinking this is about career alone.
The Midheaven goes beyond professional success—it’s about how your life purpose and soul contracts intertwine with your broader mission on Earth.
Want to find your Midheaven? It’s easy.
You can access a free guide I’ve created that walks you through locating your Midheaven and interpreting its significance.
Having this information at hand will help you understand what areas of your life are most aligned with your greater purpose.

Step 3: Release Fears and Be Open to Possibilities
This third step might be the most important one of all.
No matter how clear the path to soul contracts seem, if you’re weighed down by fear and self-doubt, you won’t live out your mission.
Fear tricks your mind into creating roadblocks, telling you you’re not worthy or capable. But that’s just your ego talking.
Your ego thrives on fear and limitation.
If you want to know what your limitations and fears are and how to release them, check out my article about how to do shadow work.
In The Untethered Soul, Michael A. Singer describes the ego as a negative roommate who’s always there to put you down.
The solution? Stop listening. You don’t have to believe your self-doubt, unworthiness, or fear.
Do you feel a calling to be a healer, mentor, or creator? Perhaps you want to become a YouTuber or start your own blog, but you hear that nagging voice, “Who are you to do this? No one cares what you have to say.”
It’s time to silence that voice. Your soul is powerful, and your mission is valuable. The opportunities are there, waiting for you to believe in yourself and take action.
Soul contracts are all about believing in yourself.
Repeat these 100 self-love affirmations until you start believing in yourself.
Opportunities will come your way, but you’ll only see them if you have confidence in your journey. Let go of fear. Open up.
Trust that whatever your purpose is, it’s aligned with who you truly are.
Once you release these fears, you’ll notice the Universe meets you halfway with synchronicities and blessings.
Full moons are a great time to release fears and manifest new energies into your life. Check out this article about the ultimate full moon ritual for manifestation.
