Spiritual Approach to Synastry
Spiritual Approach to Synastry
This method views relationships as catalysts for spiritual growth. Consider contacts to the outer planets and the nodes to see the karmic purpose two people share.
Backlink: Synastry Overview.
🧭 Spiritual Focus — Synastry
What to look at, in order:
1. Jupiter and Neptune inter-aspects (shared ideals, faith, illusion)
2. Contacts to each other’s 9th/12th houses
3. Shared fixed-star or harmonic (quintile/septile/novile) contacts
Foundation for every approach: synastry overlays two natal charts through inter-aspects and house overlays (details in Synastry overview).
Building blocks to pull
Sun · Jupiter · Neptune · 9th & 12th houses · Fixed Stars · Septile & Novile families
Questions to answer
- What is the chart’s stated purpose (Sun) and source of meaning (Jupiter/Neptune)?
