As an astrologer, I've always been fascinated by finding and predicting love in birth charts. It's one of the most commonly asked questions during a reading - "When will I find love?" closely followed by "When will I have babies?" and "WTF is happening with my career?" But you know what? I absolutely adore these types of questions!
Looking into potential time periods where the universe is orchestrating major changes is the most exhilarating part of astrology. When analyzing someone's chart, I search for ups and downs in planetary energy, similar to checking the weather forecast. Instead of predicting physical weather, I'm deciphering emotional weather. While there are numerous ways to do this, such as Tarot cards, runes, pendulums, or simply following your intuition, astrology has always been my preferred method to help others navigate the ebbs and flows of the universe.
Identifying important "love time frames" in your birth chart can help you determine where to focus your energy. For example, there was a time in my life when I desperately wanted to know when I would experience my next significant relationship. But after analyzing my chart, I discovered that casual dating was all that awaited me for the next few years (shocking, I know!). However, this realization allowed me to shift my focus towards self-growth, development, and self-care, which I probably wouldn't have prioritized otherwise.
So, without further ado, let's explore the top 5 astrological indicators that predict love.
How to Predict Love with Your Birth Chart
What House in Astrology Is for Love?
When your fifth house has multiple planets passing through it, the universe is sending a clear message - it's time to have some fun! This is the period for play, dating, creativity, and flirting. Meeting new people and making connections should come effortlessly. Planets like Jupiter (luck), Venus (love), Mercury (communication), the sun (self), or even a new moon occurring in the fifth house of love, romance, and creativity indicate a shining period for dating. This effect is amplified when these planets form harmonious aspects with other planets in the fifth house. For instance, if Jupiter is in the seventh house forming a 60-degree angle with Venus in the fifth house, it's time to make sure you're looking your best and ready to collect some phone numbers!
What House in Astrology Indicates Marriage?
Similar to the fifth house, the seventh house holds significance when it comes to love in astrology. The key distinction is that the seventh house represents serious relationships in the birth chart. While the fifth house focuses on dating and romance, the seventh house is all about long-term partnerships and marriage. To determine when a serious relationship may be on the horizon, I look for the placement of Saturn (foundation) in the chart. If Saturn is located in the seventh house, it signifies the individual's desire for something serious and long-term, as this is the lesson their soul wants them to focus on at present. Often, individuals with this placement will get engaged or even married during this time. I also love to see Jupiter in this area of the chart, as it brings expansion and good fortune, making it easier to find a relationship. Additionally, the presence of a new moon here could indicate the start of a new chapter in your love life.
What Happens When Venus Aspects Saturn?
When Venus and Saturn form a harmonious aspect, it is a strong indication of a significant relationship in the near future. Saturn represents commitment, responsibility, discipline, while Venus represents love. When these two planets collaborate, it often leads to a profound love commitment. Saturn pushes us into adulthood and fosters soul growth, and romantic relationships play a significant role in this process.
What Happens When Venus Aspects Jupiter?
Similar to the Saturn-Venus aspect, when Venus and Jupiter combine forces, magic unfolds in your love life. While Jupiter's energy may not be as serious as that of Saturn, it brings its own enchantment to the party. Under a harmonious interaction with Venus, the ruler of love and money, and Jupiter, the lord of expansion and good luck, your options for love will increase. Sextiles (60 degrees), trines (120 degrees), and conjunctions (0 degrees) are the angles that produce the most harmonious outcomes.
What Is a Progressed Moon?
Last but certainly not least, the progressed moon is a fascinating aspect to consider. While I examine other aspects in a progressed chart as well, the progressed moon holds a special place in my heart. It takes 2-3 years for the progressed moon to move through a house and approximately 27-30 years to complete a full rotation around the chart. When the progressed moon moves through the seventh house, it often signifies something significant happening in a person's love life. I have witnessed numerous individuals entering into serious, often marriage-bound relationships during this progression.
Now that you're armed with fool-proof aspects to look for, make sure to drop us a note and let us know if you notice any exciting developments in your love life. Also, try backtracking and analyzing your chart on the dates of significant relationship changes. You might start to recognize patterns that will be helpful in predicting your future romantic endeavors.
