love astrology

One-sided love is a feeling that lives in the fifth house without an answer from the seventh, and the chart reads it as a signature, a question and a season. The signature is the placement that gives love without return: Venus with Ketu, Venus with Saturn, Venus in the twelfth, the fifth lord in the twelfth, sixth or eighth, Ketu or Saturn on the fifth. The question is whether it can turn mutual, which needs the fifth-seventh join, a carrying period, and the other person’s own seventh open, and which the chart answers with a yes and a window or a no and a date. And the season is the sub-period in which the feeling lifts, which every one-sided love has and which is the most useful sentence the native hears. Nine signatures in a table with the shape of each and whether it turns, the pattern of the native who only loves the unavailable, what the other person’s chart and a horary can add, the love that becomes a marriage and the conditions it needs, the difference between devotion and obsession, and a worked chart of a Scorpio lagna whose seventh and twelfth share Venus.

The word “karmic” has been attached to every relationship the internet cannot explain, and the chart has a precise thing it means by it. Rahu and Ketu are always opposite, so they always occupy a pair of houses, and that pair is the axis across which a native is pulled toward what they have not yet had and released from what they have already done; a karmic relationship is one that lives on that axis, in the houses, in the period, or in the other person’s planets falling on it. The axis across all six house pairs, the first and seventh as the partner, the fifth and eleventh as the romance and the friend, and the four others where relationships are lived through the home, the family, the far and the work. The nodal return every eighteen and a half years, at about eighteen, thirty-seven and fifty-six, as the ages at which the axis is activated and the karmic relationship most often begins. Nodal synastry, one person’s nodes on the other’s planets, which is what the past-life pages are describing without knowing it. The relationship that repeats, the debt idea read soberly, what the word does not mean, and a worked chart of a Cancer lagna whose relationship at thirty-seven repeated the one at eighteen and ended it.

A relationship kept hidden has a house before it has a reason: the twelfth, where the private and the far and the unseen live, or the eighth, where the secret and the transformation live, carrying the fifth of romance or the seventh of the bond. The chart reads who it is hidden from, the family through the second and fourth, the community through the ninth, the workplace through the tenth; whether the hiding is the relationship’s shape, a native who loves privately by signature, or its season, a sub-period of the twelfth or eighth lord that will end; whether it comes into the open by the couple’s choice, in the seventh lord’s sub-period under Jupiter, or by exposure, in the eighth lord’s under Saturn or Mars; and what the hiding costs the home. Nine signatures in a table with what is hidden and from whom and how it comes into the open, the secret channel of the third house, the secret that carries danger and the reading’s first duty, and a worked chart of a Cancer lagna whose twelfth lord sat on the fifth beside the family’s lord.

An age gap in a relationship has a planet behind it, and the planet says what the gap is made of, which is more useful than the number. Saturn’s older partner is structure, the one who has already built a life and offers it as ground; Jupiter’s is standing, the partner of position, learning or wisdom; the Sun’s is authority; Ketu’s is the past, the partner who feels older because they feel known. Mercury’s younger partner is youth and talk, Venus’s is pleasure and beauty, the Moon’s is the one who needs care, and Rahu’s is the unconventional gap in either direction. The signatures for the older partner and the younger, the classical difference between a man’s chart and a woman’s in reading the spouse’s age, ten signatures in a table with the gap each inclines to and what it is made of, the seasons in which a gap shows itself, Saturn’s sub-periods and the eighth house read with care, the family’s and the world’s reaction and the houses that carry it, the second marriage’s gap, what the reading refuses to do with an older partner’s health, and a worked chart of a Leo lagna who married a man fourteen years older in Saturn-Venus and what the reading said the fourteen years were.

The native who has never been in a relationship usually arrives with a question about themselves, and the chart answers a different and better one: which of ten reasons is in the chart, and when it changes. An empty or afflicted fifth that gives no romance, a weak Venus that gives no attraction, Saturn on the fifth or seventh that starts late, Ketu there that does not need it, the fifth or seventh lord in a dusthana, a Moon that does not reach out, or, most often of all, no sub-period of the fifth lord, the seventh lord or Venus having run yet, so that the chart has simply not had its season. The ten reasons in a table with what each means and when it changes, the difference between no romance and no marriage, since the arranged-marriage chart may have both a silent fifth and a full seventh, the late starter and the first relationship after Saturn’s return, the chart that does not need a love life and is not lacking one, whether love is ever denied outright, and a worked chart of a Virgo lagna whose first relationship came at thirty-three in the seventh lord’s own period.

The question after a divorce is asked in the same words as before it, will I find love again, and the chart answers it in three parts that the questioner has usually run together. The aftermath, the twelfth lord’s or Ketu’s season that follows the ending and has to pass before anything else can begin, which the reading dates so that the native stops trying to skip it. The rebound, the relationship of the eighth lord’s or Rahu’s sub-period, sudden and intense and real, which is the crisis’s own relationship and not the second beginning, and which the reading names so that it is enjoyed for what it is. And the second beginning itself, read from the second house, the family rebuilt, which this site reads as the second spouse’s house, timed by its lord with the seventh lord and Venus and by Jupiter over the second or seventh, and described by the second lord’s placement as the first spouse was described by the seventh’s. Nine signatures in a table, the children and the former spouse as houses in the new relationship, the native who does not want a second bond and is not lacking one, the second beginning that is better and the one that repeats, and a worked chart of a Taurus lagna whose second beginning came in the second lord’s own sub-period, six years after the decree.

A relationship begins when three layers of the chart meet, and the reading of “when will I find love” is the reading of those three. The carrier, a planet that can bring a relationship at all: the fifth lord, the seventh lord, Venus, a planet in the fifth or seventh, the eleventh lord for the meeting through friends. The carrier’s sub-period, the season of one to three years in which it acts, found on the dasha table. And the trigger, Jupiter’s transit over the fifth, seventh or eleventh or over natal Venus as the year, Venus’s own transit over the fifth or seventh as the month. The carrier’s house adds the answer to the question underneath, where, since a carrier in the tenth meets at work and one in the ninth on a journey, in a twelve-row table; the sub-period’s length says how long the relationship lasts; Rahu’s windows are read as sudden and real but not lasting; and the reader is shown how to find their own next window in twenty minutes.

This page is written for the single person in a relationship with someone who is married, and it is written without a lecture, because the reader has heard the lecture and has come for something the lecture cannot give, which is what their own chart says. It says four things. What draws them to the unavailable, the fifth lord in the twelfth or eighth, Venus with Rahu or Ketu, Rahu on the fifth, which is a pattern of the houses and a season and not a verdict on their worth. Which house the relationship lives in, the twelfth or the eighth, and what that house does to relationships that live in it. Whether their own marriage window, the seventh lord’s sub-period that would carry a bond of their own, is passing while they wait, which is the reading’s most useful and least welcome sentence. And what the other person’s chart can say, which is whether their marriage is ending on its own schedule, and cannot say, which is whether they will leave for the native, since a chart reads a marriage’s seasons and not a person’s choice. Eight signatures in a table, the third party’s houses in the native’s own chart, the horary form of the question and the thing it reveals about who the question is about, what the reading refuses to time, and a worked chart of a Virgo lagna whose relationship lived in the twelfth for two years while her own marriage window approached.

Venus is the planet of how a native loves and how they need to be loved, and it is read for relationships in four layers, in the same order every planet page in this cluster uses. What Venus rules for the ascendant, which decides what the Venus period brings, a bond for Aries and Scorpio where it rules the seventh, a romance for Gemini and Capricorn where it rules the fifth, and something else entirely where it rules the sixth or the twelfth. The sign, which is the love language, what the native gives without thinking and needs without asking. The house, which is where the love lives and where it is met. And the condition, exalted in Pisces, debilitated in Virgo, combust, retrograde, or in the company of Saturn, Rahu, Ketu or Mars, each of which changes what the native’s love is like from inside. The twelve-ascendant table, the Venus period for relationships, Venus retrograde in transit, the weak Venus and what does and does not help it, and a worked chart of a Libra lagna whose exalted Venus in the sixth loved through service.

The question after a breakup is how long, and the chart answers it as a season with a length, which is more than the friends can offer and less than the native fears. The months after an ending are the remainder of the sub-period the ending fell in, and sometimes the next, and they run in three phases that the houses name: the loss, the twelfth’s work; the transformation, the eighth’s; and the rebuilding, the second’s and eleventh’s. The chart reads how long the season runs, by the sub-period’s dates; what lengthens it, Saturn over the Moon, and what lifts it, Jupiter over the Moon or the fifth, Ketu’s detachment, the next carrier’s arrival; what helps this particular chart, by which houses are strong, the friends of the eleventh, the words of the third, the work of the tenth, the journey of the ninth, the home of the fourth; the pull back and its dates; the grief that is thinner than expected after a fade and the one that does not lift and is for a counsellor as well as the chart; and when the heart is next available, which is the find-love page’s question. An eight-house table of what helps, and a worked chart of a Libra lagna whose season ran eleven months and lifted in the eleventh lord’s sub-period, among her friends.
