Predicting Love Using Your Astrology Chart

By Nic Gaudette

Everyone wants to see when they'll have positive periods for love and relationships, and if you've learned enough astrology, you can do that yourself. This will show you step-by-step how to do that.

The first thing you need to do is determine where the transits of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are currently in your chart, and where they'll be over the next year, and record that info.

Then, you want to look at the aspects being made by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto over the next year to your 5th, 7th, and 8th house rulers. You also want to see the aspects made by the same planets to your natal Venus (natural ruler of love) if it doesn't rule those houses already, and your Descendant.

See if there's a cluster of aspects at any time, generally within 4-6 weeks of one another. There probably won't be many (if any) aspects made by Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto - that's fine, they're the slow movers . . . there most likely are aspects by Jupiter, which is good, but if you want a "real" relationship, you want to see a positive Saturn in the mix as well (Saturn is stabilizing and responsible, so he's the one responsible for lasting relationships, while Jupiter is more the fun, carefree, not-in-the-mood-for-anything-serious relationship guy - hey, he does rule Sagittarius!).

If Mars is transiting your 5th or 8th at the same time, that can be a help. And seeing where the heavier planets are just helps to show what "bigger" things you're dealing with, and if the overall conditions are ripe for a relationship (example: Jupiter in the 5th, 7th, 8th are good while Saturn in the 7th can either be a real strain on all relationships or make you more serious in them.

Uranus in the 1st, 5th, and 7th can show you're more prone to erratic relationships and may have a hard time being in one that stays together (on the low side), or show that you desire someone different from what you normally go for or need a less restricting relationship (on the high side)

Neptune in the 5th and 7th could show perhaps you're too wishy-washy or not altogether realistic in relationships (on the low side) or that you're more romantic and attracted to romantic types (on the high side)

Pluto in the 5th or 7th can show being too obsessive or being with someone obsessive (on the low side), and having a powerful, profound relationship (on the high side).

If you're looking to get back with an old flame, Mercury or Venus retrograde in the 5th or 7th, Jupiter in your 5th, or an aspect to the south node helps.
