All people want to be happy. And they even want to know where to find this very happiness. We get to know each other, build relationships with others in the hope that we will not be alone, that together with the second half we will be wonderful and joyful. But what if there is a relationship, but happiness is not felt? Does the partner not suit us or are we? Or are we both wonderful people, but completely incompatible in character?
Astrology of relations will help to find the answer to these and other questions. In astrology, natal charts of people should be considered, both individually and in the synastry - that is, in overlapping.
First, you can analyze how each partner in the couple is inclined to behave in a relationship, and what exactly he will need from the other, of course, this is reflected in his natal chart. The first house and its ruler with all its aspects will describe to us the native, the seventh house and its ruler with all its aspects - the marriage partner. We also pay attention to the stars, Venus and Mars. After this, you can consider the synastry to analyze whether the native receives something from the partner according to his expectations or not. At the same time, all aspects that the planets of one person do to the planets and cusps of another, and vice versa, are analyzed. This is a very time-consuming process, therefore, leading astrologers have come up with some formulas to simplify. One glance at the cards of two people is enough for an experienced astrologer to draw a conclusion about their relationship.
Seal of happiness and misfortune in the synastry
So, the first formula, the so-called “seal of happiness”, is Jupiter of one person in conjunction, sextile or trine to the luminaries (Sun and Moon) of another. Orb - eight degrees.
And the second formula, the so-called “seal of misfortune”, is Saturn of one person in the conjunction, square or opposition to the luminaries (Sun and Moon) of another. Orb - six degrees. Of course, the smaller the orb, the more sensitive the aspect. The seal of happiness and unhappiness in astrology was deduced by S. Shestopalov and tested on a large number of synastric maps.
Luminaries
As we see, both formulas are associated with luminaries. In the natal chart, the position of the sun and moon can tell a lot about its owner. The house and the sign of the Sun will tell us in which sphere and how a person can be realized, reveal his talents and shine. And the house and the sign of the moon will tell you where and how a person can comfortably relax, take care of themselves.
It is not difficult to calculate the stamp of happiness and unhappiness in the synastry. For the positions of the Sun, Jupiter and Saturn, it is enough to know only the date of birth. And if you need to calculate the position of the moon, then it is necessary to clarify the time of birth, since the moon moves quickly and passes about 12 degrees per day.
Jupiter - the planet of happiness
So what gives the seal of happiness in the synastry? What does each pair feel like? Let's look at it in detail. Jupiter is a great benefactor, the giver of happiness and good luck. In each natal chart, Jupiter stands in a certain house and sign, in addition, it is the ruler of a house. All this needs to be analyzed. First of all, it must be said that not every benefactor bestows and multiplies, but only one that is located on the card successfully. If Jupiter in the map is strong and in good position (for example, in the natal chart fire prevails, filled with the Sagittarius sign, or Jupiter in Sagittarius in good aspects, Jupiter in the corner houses, best in the tenth), then such a planet can give many social benefits and honors. A strong planet in bad aspects gives its owner an even greater desire to win the respect of others, to expand as much as possible personal influence. Sometimes such people are wasteful, excessive in pleasures and love to teach. Well, a weak Jupiter in the map (for example, there is no fire element, air prevails, Jupiter himself in a weak position, in falling houses) can do little to its owner.
Synastry Calculation
Consider an example. Let Jupiter in the male card is located at 18 degrees Sagittarius in the 10th house. A man can be described as a man of a wide soul, generous, cheerful, socially successful. This is a good teacher, mentor, guru, philanthropist or just a rather influential authoritative person, perhaps his work is connected with abroad or sponsorship. Now let's look at the map of a woman. If her Sun or Moon falls into positions from 10 (18-8 = 10) to 26 (18 + 8 = 26) degrees of Sagittarius, Aries, Leo, Libra or Aquarius, then accordingly they will take a harmonious aspect from Jupiter's partner . If both of its luminaries fall into these degrees, then we have a double seal of happiness in the synastry. Compounding here is also considered a good aspect. A woman, having luminaries in fiery signs, is already similar in character to a man (thanks to this arrangement, she also fuels her husband’s social success!) And if there is a seal of happiness, we can safely say that in her relationship she will look (the Sun) and feel (Moon) is beautiful. The man in this example acts as a benefactor and a generous donor.
If Jupiter men can give little, then the seal of happiness works anyway, just a woman will not look so chic and feel not too fine. The calculation of the seal of happiness in the synastry must take into account the circumstances.
How it works?
It should be noted here that the seal of happiness in the synastry works at certain periods of life and can also be calculated for a specific pair. These are periods when the transit Jupiter harmoniously aspects the natal Jupiter of one and, accordingly, the Sun or Moon of the other. Couples who consult with astrologers and watch in action the seal of happiness in the synastry, leave the most positive reviews. So it works.
In our example, during such periods, a man is promoted and accordingly changes in his wife’s life occur: her man has become even more respected (the transit Jupiter – natal Sun aspect), the situation in the family has improved (the transit Jupiter – natal Moon aspect).
If Jupiter of one of the partners makes harmonious aspects to the luminaries of the second, and at the same time, Jupiter of the second partner makes harmonious aspects to the luminaries of the first, then we have a mutual seal of happiness in the horoscope. And in general, a unique case when there are aspects between Jupiter and the luminaries in the map of each of the partners, and besides, they mutually harmoniously aspect the partner's planets. Then the couple is bound by the strong bonds of a successful marriage, and during periods of influence of transit Jupiter, the feeling of happiness is amplified many times.
Saturn - the planet of misfortune
The time has come to consider more closely the seal of misfortune in the synastry. In ancient times, the planet Saturn was considered a great evil-doer, but in our time, many astrologers have moved away from this cliche. The influence of this planet today is associated with the stages of growing up. Particularly important is the return of Saturn (approximately 29-30 years). In the natal chart, his position in the sign and the house will show us certain difficulties, delays. A strong Saturn in a good position (for example, the predominance of land on the map, Saturn in Capricorn, in the 10th house) gives its owner patience, a sense of duty, the ability to go to the goal, concentrate, withstand difficulties and overcome obstacles through planning and hard work. These are responsible single workers seeking a career. A strong Saturn with bad aspects makes it difficult to realize the planets it strikes. A person is demanding and dry, overly obsessed with one topic. A weak Saturn will not do much harm at all (for example, there is no earth element in the map, water prevails, Saturn itself is in Cancer or 4 houses). On the contrary, he himself needs support, such a person is somewhat unsure of himself, not concentrated, does not know how to set goals and persevere towards them. Mode and discipline are problematic for him.
Calculation of the seal of misfortune in the synastry
Consider an example. Let Saturn occupy the position of 10 degrees Capricorn in the men's card and stand in the 10th house. Before us is a person holding a leadership position, assembled and purposeful, well-knowledgeable, professional. At the same time, he is demanding, principled, a supporter of discipline and a hard labor regime. Now, let his wife have the Sun or the Moon from 4 (10-6 = 4) to 16 (10 + 6) degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Cancer or Libra. We have the seal of misfortune in the synastry of two cards. The connection here is considered a negative aspect. If both the Sun and the Moon of the woman participate in the aspect, then this is already a double seal of misfortune. In this pair, a man will demand a lot from a woman, suppress her as a person (negative aspect to the Sun) and as a woman (negative aspect to the Moon). For a healthy relationship, this is unnatural.
A woman with such a husband will feel within the framework of certain rules and strict conventions. If the woman’s card has the same aspect in the card, then it’s clear why she chose this particular man - he is a strict controller for her, as it is written in her natal chart. Apparently, she was given such a husband as a punishment for the karmic sins of past lives, and in this life she has to endure and be squeezed, not realized according to the themes of her stars, because the Sun and Moon in her map are also the rulers of certain houses! And if in the female card Saturn does not make inharmonious aspects to either the Sun or the Moon, then it is not at all clear why she chose such a partner. With him one torment.
Maybe on the contrary, Saturn of a woman is struck by the luminaries of a man, then she controls it and we can say that a man is “under the heel” of a woman. Or there is a mutual seal of misfortune - when the Saturns of both are struck by the luminaries of partners. There are mutual double seals of misfortune - when the Saturns make inharmonious aspects to both the Suns and the Moons of partners. Such a situation can generally lead to a divorce, especially if the cards of both partners indicate divorce.
Or it may be that the luminaries in the map of one are much stronger than Saturn in the map of the other. Then the vital activity of the one whose luminaries set the tone will undermine the self-confidence of the other. There will be no happy life anyway.
Crisis periods in life
If couples ask the astrologer to analyze the relationship and they have seals of misfortune in the synastry, then it will be appropriate to indicate the periods of crisis for this pair. This is the time when the transit Saturn makes inharmonious aspects to Saturn of one and, accordingly, to the luminaries of the other. The first of the couple every seven years will experience the quadrature or opposition of Saturn to its natal position, and overcome the difficulties described by its natal chart. At the same time, the second of the pair will experience aspects from the transit of Saturn to its luminaries, and this is also not the best time. Of course, this is a difficult period for marriage and for relationships in general. If there is a mutual seal of misfortune, then tracking crisis periods is necessary for both. All people are different, so they will react differently to the synagogue seals of misfortune. All answers can be obtained by looking at the natal chart of partners.
It also happens that in the synastry the seal of happiness and unhappiness is at the same time. How to interpret this? In this case, you need to look at the transits of Saturn and Jupiter to the map of the synastry and highlight periods of tension in the relationship and periods of thaw. Such a couple can be assured that the crisis is over and relations will improve, you just have to wait for the harmonious aspect of Jupiter.
In the synastry of cards Angelina Jolie (06/04/1975) and Bred Pitt (12/18/1962), at a certain time of birth, there are two seals of happiness (Jupiters mutually aspect the Sun of partners) and one seal of misfortune (Saturn Angelina in opposition to the Moon of Breda). As you know, they divorced after 11 years of relationship. So having a stamp of happiness is not a guarantee of a long marriage. Just as the presence of the seal of misfortune is not a reason for divorce.
Among Russian stars, an example is a couple Dmitry Pevtsov (07/08/1963) and Olga Drozdova (04/01/1965). Their relationship has been going on since 1994. In their synastry, the mutual seal of happiness and the absence of the seal of misfortune.
Some observations
Analyzing natal charts and calculating the seal of happiness in the synastry and the seal of unhappiness in a relationship, some conclusions can be drawn:
- Anyone brings misfortune to every fourth.
- Seal of misfortune in the synastry is quite common (in 43-44% of cases).
- In every sixth synastry, a mutual seal of misfortune is formed.
- For most people, the luminaries on the map are far apart, it is impossible for them to make a double seal of misfortune.
- Every fourth has his own seal of misfortune in the natal chart.
Conclusion
In addition to having a stamp of happiness in the synastry, for harmonious relations, the mutual aspect of the planets of Mars and Venus in the maps of partners is also important. The positions of these planets will give additional information about how a person behaves in relationships and love relationships, and what he expects from a partner.
Some astrologers additionally consider aspects from Jupiter and Saturn to the ascendant and ruler of 1 partner’s house. This technique is also very interesting, although little studied.
