The Strongest Romantic Planetary Aspects found in Long-Lasting Marriages

Let’s just get right to the point. When the average amateur person - most often female - who is open to astrology takes an interest in someone, they will first: find out the other person’s birth information. Then they will pull up their synastry chart overlay with their guy (or gal) and look at the aspects they share with that person. And they will trust Google to lead them to the answers about whether or not their astrological aspects to their special someone is destined to last (and be reciprocated), or not.

But, there are ways of using astrology that may sound far out, perhaps confusing and hard to understand (initially), but have evidence-based research to back their efficacy. This evidence-based research used over 20,000 charts of couples who have been married for at least 20 years, and the results are undeniable. Let’s have a look at some of these very strong aspects that have repeatedly been shown to result in long term romantic relationships.

Using Vibrational charts to find the strongest romantic patterns in Synastry chart overlays and Vibrational Composite charts.

What I’m going to introduce you to today, involves the use of Vibrational (Harmonic) charts. According the the evidence, Venus is simply “the attraction to beauty”. When we feel this attraction to what we feel is beautiful, it can manifest as a feeling of romantic love. This feeling of love or attraction will be altered or enhanced in some way depending on what other planets are in aspect with Venus.

So, we want to find our Venus aspects with our “other”, within all of our Vibrational charts. The strongest romantic aspects to look for are: Venus aspects with Mars, Uranus, Pluto, Neptune, Sun or Moon in each person’s own Vibrational charts. We all have a Vibrational chart where Venus is most strongly connected to each of these planets, so first we need to identify which charts these are.

This is easy to do using the Sirius software, as it has a list of planet to planet conjunctions in all of our Vibrational charts, - including the percentage of strength - so you just need to look for the highest percentage (you will just need to learn how to use the software and then how to read what is there).

Then, we want to make a bi-wheel with the other person’s chart of the same Vibration and compare. If we have a planet that makes a direct aspect (preferably a conjunction or opposition) to these close Venus-Planet conjunctions, then the second person is directly involved with and activating that Venus-Planet aspect.

As each Vibrational chart relates to a specific aspect of our life, that is the area of life that we will be connected to them.

The Vibrational charts that have been shown to be particularly important in married couples are - the 7, 8, 13 and 55th Vibrational charts, and I would add 9 and 17 as also being of particular importance).

In Vibrational Astrology, the following vibrational charts have been seen to be very significant in romantic relationships, and have frequently been seen to have strong patterns and/or midpoint structures in long term married couples (this is based on research involving over 20,000 charts of married couples who were together for at least 20 years):

The 7th vibrational chart indicates: a deep, soul connection. The couple feel like home to each other. They are comfortable to just be in each other’s presence, even just to be quiet together. There’s a feeling of reprieve in being together. The rest of the world may be full of busyness, chaos and conflict, but together they can feel more relaxed, calm, and focused. They may enjoy activities like meditation together, or if they haven’t tried this, they should! They will bring out the ability in each other to meditate and focus in a profound way. This connection can feel meant to be and like a past life connection. We know each other already. Because it is at more of the soul level that the two people are connecting. The people who share a strong pattern in the 7 vibration might be attracted to each other even if the other is not our normal physical type, because the attraction goes beyond the more base physical type of attraction, though it doesn’t mean you won’t be physically or sexually attracted. The attraction can be very strong!

The 8th vibrational chart indicates: an immediate, perhaps urgent need will be felt. This connection might be quite physical, energizing, motivating and a vital type of attraction. The 8th vibration conjunctions are created by squares in the natal chart. Squares in vibrational astrology are not considered bad or even difficult. Planets and aspects are not judged in the same way in vibrational astrology as in many other systems of astrology. Squares simply give a drive and motivation to the person or people. So when we find a tight pattern in the 8th vibration in synastry, it will create a strong need to pursue that energy, to live it and have it in our life in a real, concrete way. Our 8th vibration can even outrank our natal chart in it’s necessity to be “had” by us. We need to have, pursue or express the energies of the 8 vibe, if we have a tight pattern of three or more planets.

The 9 vibrational chart indicates: this connection feels supported by or connected to the community we live in. The 9th vibrational chart is one and the same chart as the Navamsa (or D9) chart in Vedic astrology. The Navamsa is considered the chart of the spouse or the chart used to see the married life and the spouse. While I’ve never heard Vedic astrologers talk about this divisional chart being related to one’s local community, this is what has been discovered about it through the research done by David Cochrane and his team of researchers. And it does make sense that the chart that shows how we are affected by our community, how sensitive we are to our immediate surroundings, family, friends, neighbors and teachers, would also relate to choosing a spouse. In India, the family is much more connected to the community around them. It is a tribal culture even today, at least in the majority of India that still lives in small networks of villages.

The 13th vibrational chart indicates: this person feels special to us, like they were made just for us. Even the simple things they do just seems to have a sparkle to it, like light shines from this person, as they just don’t seem ordinary, like other people do to us (or the person we are connected to through the 13 vibration). One issue that can arise from 13 vibe connections is that is that feeling of specialness is somehow damaged, it will be hard for us to get that feeling back and the foundation that this relationship is built on might crumble. Other strong connections besides this one would be very beneficial.

The 17th vibrational chart indicates: we connect at an empathic level. We understand each other and we care about each other at a level that is similar to how we care about ourselves. We tend to be less selfish with people we share a 17 vibe with, because we empathize with them. This is not one of the charts that was found to be very prominent in the 20,000 married couples, but I have found this chart to be very prominent with couples that share an amazing bond that can make the couple feel like one person in two bodies…very in sync, very emotional, deep understanding.

The 55th vibrational chart indicates: we feel giddy in love with this person. Being with them brings out the inner child and we want to skip, play and generally act younger than our age when we are with this person. We fall hard for this person as they really uplift our energy. There is a definite spark shared between this couple. This vibration is a mixture of playful energy and a constantly moving, restless, and progressive energy, creating a very unique, fun dynamic.

Now, we can take this a step further and create a composite chart of each of these Vibrations. We do this by first making a composite chart with the original Tropical Natal charts of the two people. And then, using the Sirius (or Kepler) software, we can turn the composite chart into any Vibration that we want. If the couple has a tight pattern of at least three planets, including Venus and hopefully one of the other planets that create strong romantic feelings between two people (Mars, Uranus, Pluto, Sun, Moon and Neptune), then the couple will feel this romantic connection clearly. The more planets that are involved and the closer the orbs between the aspects, the stronger the feelings and desire. The overall feeling will be colored by which Vibration the pattern is happening in, as well as the exact planets involved and the aspects being made.

This can be done by a Vibrational Astrologer, or you can purchase the Sirius Astrology software, which is packed full of options, and you can learn to do all of this yourself.

The Sirius software is the only astrology software that specializes in Vibrational charts, and you can dive very deep if you are adventurous. But some Harmonic (Vibrational) charts can be found in other software and free online websites (like astro.com).
