Lesson: Relationships: Soulmates
Genesis Astrology is a science, not a belief system. As more is researched and proven, lessons will be updated. See the date of the latest revision to this lesson at the bottom of this page.
Soulmate links between charts give a sense of kinship and belonging.
You have soulmate links with many people, not just one.
Soulmate links juice all kinds of relationships with special love, ease, flow, and understanding.
Without at least one Soulmate link, a romantic relationship may never feel right.
>A Soulmate link is technically a Geometry, since it requires a minimum of 3 points.
>Soulmate links happen in Combined charts between 2 people.
Soulmate Links
Chiron is the key to Soulmates and is the required point in all Soulmate links.
Soulmate links need a minimum of 3 planets between your 2 Combined charts. 1 of the 3 points must be Chiron.
The Chiron in person 1’s chart must link to a point on the list below in person 2’s chart.
Then, the Chiron and the 2nd point must both link to a 3rd point in either chart, which is neither Chiron nor the same planet as the chart 2 linked planet.
Valid Second Points in Soulmate Links
Sun
Moon [Only if birth time known, never use Moon in an untimed chart.]
Earth
Mercury
Venus
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
Pluto
Diana
Eros
Isis
Aphrodite
Odin
Huya
Soulmate Clashes
Soulmate clashes are clash aspects from a point in one chart to the Chiron in the second chart. Multiple Soulmate clashes can be a big indicator that the relationship won’t work out, even if it starts out seeming like “this is IT.” This optimistic feeling can disappear abruptly unless the couple also has Soulmate links. Soulmate clashes without Soulmate links become very destabilizing and indicate problems with trust, commitment and believing you belong together. See Lesson: Aspects & Geometry
The Chiron [Hopeful] Person
In Soulmate Links it matters which person is the Chiron person. The Chiron person is the person who brings the Chiron to the Soulmate link. It’s the Chiron person who is hopeful—who sees the other person as a potential soulmate. The more Soulmate links in which you are the Chiron person, the more you see the other person as a potential soulmate.
More Soulmate links are better but it also matters if the Chiron comes from both people across the various Soulmate links, or if the same person is the Chiron person in all of them. If one partner doesn’t bring Chiron to any Soulmate links at all, they may have continuing doubts about belonging together.
Feeling the Soulmate Link
People respond differently to Soulmate links depending on the points being aspected by Chiron. Some points are more caring/sensitive/vulnerable/personal, some are more practical and impersonal.
A more sensitive point connected to Chiron brings more feelings of warmth and sweetness to the non-Chiron person. A less sensitive point connected to Chiron brings a more pragmatic and impersonal approach for the non-Chiron person.
The approximate order, from the most to the least sensitive points, when connected to Chiron:
Chiron [Both people’s Chirons can be part of the link, but you still need 2 other points also]
Vesta
Venus
Sappho
Neptune
Diana
Isis
Aphrodite
Mars
Sun
Moon [Only in a timed chart]
Odin
Eros
Pluto
Jupiter
Huya
Uranus
Pallas
Mercury
Juno
Ceres
Saturn
Sedna
Aphrodite?
Aphrodite without Chiron may not create ‘building’ relationships where partners invest into a future together. Aphrodite may just reveal sexual/romantic playmates. More when current research is concluded.
