What is a Karmic Relationship?
According to astrology, karmic relationships can play a big role in helping a person move towards their souls greater evolution and on a physical plane, help a person feel more fulfilled and at peace in their life, clearing the path forward towards their purpose.
One of the ways we can define karma is looking at it as collected debt you are called to pay off in this lifetime, as a result of the circumstances or you souls actions in a past lifetime. Think of your physical body as a bodysuit that your soul wears in order to fulfil its mission in this life time, which can be to pay off karma, collect karma or work through generational trauma and the list goes on, until your soul ultimately reaches a point of enlightenment and reward.
When we think of enlightenment, we don’t need to necessarily think of our souls mission being to reach a Bhudda level of tranquility and peace, but your soul will know if you have reached the highest point of your enlightenment according to your souls contract and that could look different for different people. The bottom line is that the point of evolution is reaching a place of peace, purity and vibrating consistently on the highest points of the vibrational energy scale.
Karma can come in many forms and does not always have to be connected to love and relationships, however for many us relationships play a big part in our karmic contract. This is especially highlighted due to the very nature of human life, connection and community being one of, if not the main pillar of humanity. That brings us to Karmic relationships, and how to know if you are in a karmic relationship according to astrology.
In astrology, when we are looking at points of karma, one of the main points to refer to are the nodes of the moon. The South Node (Ketu) lets us know where we have been in our past life, what kind of karma we may have collected and where we need to release or work through karma in order to find peace with the past life circumstances or actions. The North Node (Rahu) of the moon indicates what our soul desires to learn in this lifetime and other planets can also give us more clues in the puzzle, such as Saturn which indicates how we might learn these lessons.
When looking at two charts to analyze whether there is a Karmic connection between two people, we use a technique called “synastry” which is a method by which two charts are superimposed on one another and indicate what is being activated in each person by the other.
Any strong connections made between one persons chart to the other persons South node or North node can indicate there is a karmic connection that exists between these two people, and it can either be to receive rewards for lessons learnt or to go through the challenges of learning their lessons the hard way by activating past life karma within each other, these two souls most likely know each other from a past life.
Not all karma is bad karma, some karma can come as a reward for good deeds and this can come in the form of whatever your soul desires in this life. In the context of a karmic relationship, more often than not these can be the most challenging relationships we will experience in a lifetime, some of these bonds can last a lifetime as the two souls are here to challenge each other, learn and grow together in unity, however other karmic relationships can be short-lived and push each soul to their point of realization where a deep part of the past life is activated and finally released. If the lessons are not learnt in one relationship, the person might encounter another karmic relationship or situation and another, and so on, until the soul has finally realized what it needs to release and understand from the topic of love and relationship which is pertinent to its karmic contract in this life.
There is no need to be afraid of karmic relationships, we should welcome these experiences, as challenging as they might be, as they are here to break open our soul towards finally evolving beyond the baggage of our past lives. If you are curious to learn more about your karmic contracts or if you are in a karmic relationship and want to know what it is trying to teach you, the best way to get an in-depth analysis is by working with a good astrologer who can guide you through the challenging process of releasing karmic debt with others.
