Personally, I think close saturn to personal planet contact and nodal conjunction (both north & south) can feel very karmic. The draw could be not-so-pleasant, but somehow one cannot help jumping into it. This draw persists until the karmic debt is paid (whoever the debtor is) and karmic lesson learnt. How good or how bad it is during the process depending on the individuals' ability to proactively learn from it.

Just my two cents

I was just browzing in the forums and I came across this post. The one thing that struck me is that he made the quote on my 18th birthday. Not sure if means anything.

After verifying the Asc I do pay a lot of attention to this, but the so-called 'bad' aspects are not as bad as you might think. I have a client whose husband's Saturn squares her Asc. They've been married a long time and she gave no complaints. That's just one example.

The "Magnetic Attraction" takes care of itself. This actually can show up as Venus-Mars contacts. Attraction can be very magnetic at first, but not go anywhere.

Point (2.) about "Karmic Lovers" relates more to South Node contacts, but this isn't necessarily pointing to a healthy relationship, particularly if there are no direct N.Node contacts to balance it out.

Point (3.) about "Destiny's Gate" ... I don't use the Vertex at all. Maybe I'm just not paying attention, but I have not yet seen the need to include it, and I've done a lot of synastries.

Neither do I feel the need to include asteroids (other than Chiron) in every synastry. Dr. Z's statements regarding what kinds of synastries show Eros-Psyche contacts doesn't help the case for asteroids. My wife and I have mutual 'double-whammy' Juno contacts, but they aren't of close orbs and there's a lot more involved in terms of planets.

There is actually a lot of planetary information in the declinations - the positions north or south of celestial equator. This fills in a lot of gaps that you will have if you are looking into just the flat chart longitude aspects (conjunctions, sextiles, trines, oppositions, etc). Parallels and contra-parallels in declination are just as important in synastry as any longitude aspects and few astrologers use them. I do. You don't have to pin things on minor asteroids when you've got more planetary synastry to look at.

READ: FINDING YOUR TWINSOUL DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE DESTINED TO 'LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER'.

It DOES mean that you've found each other for a VERY IMPORTANT PURPOSE that MUST be fulfilled soon - either this life, or the next - if circumstances in this one keep thwarting you.

It's the COMPANION SOULS with whom we tend to marry / settle down, have families, enjoy reward karma, or resolve karma which is still lingering on our karmic balance sheets.

I think we hurt ourselves - greatly - by having a mindset of 'soulmate or bust'. Most twinsouls don't have the capacity to build a stable relationship with each other, DESPITE the INTENSE, powerful, draw and inability to stay away from each other.

Just wanted to throw that out there. It's not all roses and planets, guys. But there's always a reason for it.

It can be so harsh sometimes. I had so many of the above with several folks and either they or I felt treated poorly or just WAY more than the other or it was just generally too volatile too be healthy. It is indeed sad to burn so badly or give so much to someone who can take it or leave it and doesn't really even "see/feel" you. And sometimes the feelings are there but things are truly off and folks keep trying again and again. Thanks god for astrology in these moments! When you are struggling, it can tell you if the juice is worth the squeeze. There is a huge difference between someone's potential and their actual capacity and...you have to feel like you dodged a bullet there as true love is not destructive, selfish or hurtful and when healthy, equal, mutual love is there - you will never question or worry - you'll always know and it is a much calmer feeling/knowing.
Passing up a karmic relationship you know will not bring you the happiness you deserve is a wise, loving choice and shows good self-esteem.
I feel so beat up myself by a recent someone and it feels like I'll never get over him yet...I will. Of course I will. Eventually...when I'm onto something much sweeter and happier, I'll wonder what the hell was wrong with me!! lol.
