There are a lot of astrological literature on that under the term 'preference' which eventually will lead to your life partner.

For example, most astrologers pay attention to the 7th house, and the 7th house ruler and the planets conjunct your Desc.

If you have Saturn on your Desc. you tend to attract and get attracted to older partners, and attract younger ones to you, Venus aspecting Saturn could play out that effect too. If you have Jupiter on your Desc. you attract/attracted to Jupiter people (teachers, foreigners, people in the law profession, anything that Jupiter represents). And so on and so forth with the planets on your Desc., in your 7th house. Venus placements also could indicate your partner, Venus in the 9th is said to point to marrying/being with a foreign partner. Look at your Juno as well and the aspects it makes, this is what you want in a partner, and the aspects Juno makes to other planets tend to make us attractive to partners represented by that planet, for example if you have Juno conjunct Uranus, you attract Uranian types to you (eccentric, off beat people...and so on and so forth), you may or may not like that depending on the rest of your chart, you could have Juno conjunct Uranus while you could have Juno in Scorpio which means you are looking for intense, emotionally stable partner hence a conflict. So what you want and what you get seem to always conflict in the relationship arena...what's new!
Venus and Mars placements and their aspects can have a role too.
