A viewer asks: “I tried to have children from the age of 30, but wasn’t successful and so my husband and I adopted a child. Was it in our path not to have biological children, or was this due to the interlopers?”

This was a karmic consequence that fit with prior life experience of tragic loss. So this inability does have a karmic purpose. It is not an outside manipulation intended to punish. It contains within itself a kind of life lesson that need not be understood in detail consciously. After all, everyone is working through karmic backlogs of all sorts without a conscious awareness of why. They take their life as it is, the good, the bad, and the ugly, and don't think at all about the possibility it is repaying a debt, working through a prior challenge to perhaps surmount an obstacle as a form of accomplishment, and so on. But yet, the wheel of karma is accomplishing a good deal for everyone by bringing back around the energies of the past to some extent. Knowing this is so, is extremely valuable because it will help you take life more seriously and especially, to appreciate what you have. Things could always be far, far, worse, and to know as well that even those things quite unpleasant, disheartening, or even tragic, have a higher purpose and will contribute tremendously to personal and soul growth.
