The universe has its way of bringing people, places, and things together in due time. With a cosmic connection, the same is true, although these connections can be positive or negative in familial, romantic, or platonic relationships.
- These experiences serve as inspirations or challenges in your life, and their sole purpose is to give you the necessary lessons needed to learn and grow from.

- A fated connection can become a permanent fixture in your life. These folks have your back every step of the way. It may not always be a smooth ride, but you'll learn and grow together. In these cases, a cosmic connection can become a cosmic soulmate or a cosmic love.^{[1]
