Sign of hard relationships

The Magick of Astrorelationships deals with healing mundane relationships, whether romantic or otherwise, through magical means.

Throughout time I've investigated a considerable number of relationships, including my own, and reached more than a few conclusions. Some of them can be found in both Asteria 1 and 2 in some form or another. Others I've kept to myself and would only share in close circles if needed. But I'm going to share one such conclusion I've noticed in more than one unhappy couple.

What I'm about to say involves the study of both partners' natal charts in parallel in regards to daily transits over each one and how they apply to each of the two natives. While a gruesome symastry will probably result in a horrible relationship experience sooner or later, transits do affect this a great deal, as implied in Shaman's article on karma in Asteria 2.

But anyway, here's the gist.

Case study: lunar nodes

Recently I've talked with a lady who studies Vedic astrology. She told me in regards to the lunar nodes "with Rahu and Ketu you can define a whole man". I went on to tell her that imo Rahu and Ketu, the North and South Node, define the person and the rest of the chart represents strengths and weaknesses when it comes to them dealing with their nodes' influences. She agreed.

We've discussed the lunar nodes in Asteria and I've written a special article on them in regards to magical operations in Asteria 2. We've also discussed the nodes from the perspective of eclipses in this free article.

What follows is a few examples of people I came to meet over the past year who stood out to me as manifesting their natal nodes' influences in certain houses. In some cases I'm not aware of their birth data and even in many of those cases I don't know their birth times. But despite their charts showing certain placements and aspects, what they've told me of their lives so far made me identify certain patterns that probably represent their nodes' influences.

Case study: house cusps

I wrote "Making a house call: Analyzing house systems" Asteria 2 to raise a flag in regards to the relativity of house systems. I'm that article I've pointed out a few details of a couple of people's lives to prove a point. This article contains a more detailed example.

It is about a woman who went above and beyond to have children but failed. All those attempts left her scared both physically and psychologically and she appears to suffer at the very mention of the subject of children. A first glimpse at her chart would probably indicate the ruler of her fifth house (based on more than a few houses systems), Mars, as being the cause. Its placement on the person's Ascendant would clearly explain a pregnancy gone wrong that was nearly fatal to the woman. But there's more to it.
