Karmic Compatibility
And Dating
The world of dating is never an easy one. It
is both very apprehensively exciting and often intriguing. Yet, strange as
it may seem, most first dates do not result in lasting relationships.
The question of Karma enters into dating behavior at the very beginning.
In fact, if you think about it, people always have karmic "baggage" that
they have caused long before any dating relationship began.
As a result, while thinking they are pursuing a relationship possibly
either for friendship, sex, love, or maybe even marriage, - they are in
fact seeking a karmic partner, someone who can help them deal with and
evolve their own past life karma, that they have brought into this
incarnation.
This brings us to some very startling realizations. Firstly, it means that
two individuals, meeting for the first time, are already programmed
according to their own karmic paths, each with their own set of lessons
and tests, both past and future that influence their lives.
There is an old astrological saying that tells us, - "When the student is
ready, the teacher is there!"
In other words, if we are ready to learn a particular karmic lesson
(because we have completed preliminary lessons that lead up to it), we are
very likely to meet someone who has just the right information to become
our teacher. In essence our consciousness has brought this about because
we became ready for it.
The lesson to be learned will dictate the karmic compatibility of the
relationship.
Not all things that we have to learn are easy. Very often, our greatest
strides are made through struggle. Thus, if we assume that whenever
somebody comes into our life, we are going to learn something from them,
as well as teach them something in return, then we are well on the path to
karmic enlightenment, for this makes us open to the clues we will be
getting, for the deepest answers our subconscious is asking.
If we meet someone who has a calm soothing planetary conjunction to our
own chart, perhaps Venus in good aspect to our Sun, then we are likely to
become involved in a calm and soothing relationship, because we are
karmically ready for this.
If we meet someone whose Pluto is afflicting any of our planets, then we
can expect a relationship with much intensity, strife and struggle. Yet,
this too is what we are karmically ready for, because we are about to
learn something that we could not understand in any other way.
Everything in life happens for a reason, and if we can awaken our minds
and hearts to be open enough to learn these reasons, then we will find
much to our amazement, that while we might not find ourselves personally
compatible with someone, as a result of difficult chart contacts, we might
nevertheless be karmically compatible with them, if we but listen to the
reason why they are in our life.
For this reason, it is important to look a little deeper when studying the
synastry aspects for compatibility between two individuals, - for if
people are somehow thrown together regardless of some difficult aspects,
there must be a karmic reason for such a relationship to exist, that is
overriding the personal wishes of either.
A decent ephemeris will show you the planetary placements of anyone in
your life. Yet, this is only the first step. From this, you can list the
aspect contacts these placements are making to your own chart. It is at
this point that most people have highly emotional reactions either
positive or negative upon realizing each chart contact. The only trouble
is that these reactions, although quite personal, are highly subjective,
and as a result cannot see the objective truth of why a relationship
exists.
There are many good books on synastry that can explain these chart
contacts more impartially than you can. Yet, it is important to look past
the direct effect of one planet on another, to see the reason why you
would be drawn into a specific relationship at all, for if you could find
this out as well as what you are learning from each chart contact, it
would certainly enhance your karmic journey in this incarnation.
