In astrology, the position of the moon nodes: North Node & South Node in a birth chart indicates the karma an individual carries. Looking at the aspects relating to the moon nodes in a synastry chart can reveal more about the type of karmic relationship they have with each other.
What is a karmic relationship
A connection can be considered karmic when it involves the exchange of energy and experiences between individuals that is believed to be determined by their past actions or decisions. This means that the connection is influenced by the idea of cause and effect, where the past actions of one person affect their present and future connections with others. This can manifest in various ways, such as feeling an instant connection with someone you just met or encountering similar challenges or experiences with people you have known for a long time.
How does it feel to be in a karmic relationship?
Karmic relationships can be intense and emotionally draining. They are often characterized by a strong magnetic attraction between two people, followed by a period of intense highs and lows. While they can be exciting and passionate, karmic relationships also tend to bring up deep-seated emotional wounds and issues that need to be addressed. Ultimately, the purpose of a karmic relationship is to help us learn and grow, even if that growth is painful at times. It is important to approach these relationships with open eyes and a willingness to face our own inner demons. Remember that karmic relationship doesn’t limited to romantic relationships, any type of relationship can be karmic, be it with a friend, a parent or a colleague you are working closely with.
What are the signs of a Karmic relationship
Karmic relationships are often intense, emotional and challenging. Here are some signs that you may be in a karmic relationship:
- You feel a strong and immediate connection with the person
- The relationship is marked by intense highs and lows, with little stability or consistency
- You feel like you are repeating patterns from past relationships or experiences
- The relationship feels fated or predestined in some way
- You find yourself learning important life lessons through the relationship, often through difficult or painful experiences.
