Your natal promise is your natal chart
As one astrologer put it " the natal promise is the total of all the chart components that when combined show each life's potential". A chart may show several marriages but the person only chooses one but we have the potential and that is the promise. Without the understanding of the natal itself and what it promises predictions will not manifest.In other words we only get what our natal chart promises. Not everyone is ment to have a soulmate in the life but to those who have the promise have the potential, same as children some have the potential but choose not to go down that road. that is the choice they made. However, depending on the planets involved and wonderful progressions and transits.
we may get something unexpected, or Change thanks to pluto.
So know your natal the potentials that exist and know what planets hit your midpoints. watch the progressions and transits.
If something is not promised in your natal it will NOT happen.
From just looking at my chart and the transits to natals someone would say well your in for a tough road ahead. Actually that is not true.
Transiting Pluto ( change) will be opposition my natal Saturn in the 3rd house but what they don't see is that saturn is conjunct my Asc/Moon midpoint and my Moon/Venus midpoint, feeling love ( saturn is where I have been blocked) Now Pluto is making a change. And Pluto will be exactly trine my Venus. So look to the potential
