What the Asteroids Know About Love

A guide to reading marriage synastry through Juno, Hera, Union, and the fixed stars

I want to tell you about a rabbit hole I went down recently.

Some of you may know — I have recently exited a year and a half long karmic relationship with someone, who I fell deeply in love with — someone I had been having recurring dreams of since I was a child.

We are both Scorpio. Born two days apart, two years separated, on opposite sides of Australia.

After having a mentoring session with one of my teachers yesteryday, who looked into the relationship for me and commented “wow, I don’t normally speak about past lives — but that is what is present here for you in your reading — you keep orbiting back into each other’s lives to make things right. You have a chance in this lifetime to repair the betrayals you have experienced with one another in many lifetimes before now, Sigourney”

Then last night, I went down an Astrological rabbit hole.

It started when I noticed that my moon was conjunct his Vertex, precisely — the moon representing past lives, emotional memory, the soul’s oldest knowing — and the Vertex, the point astrologers call the fated encounter, the place in the chart where destiny arrives wearing a face you somehow already recognise.

Then I decided to pull up a WHOLE marriage / union chart, going on a deep dive with asteroids and fixed stars.

I laid our asteroids over each other — the marriage ones, the soul ones, the fated ones — I sat back and went still. We have so many chart alignments for marriage and union — and my jaw dropped.

I decided to check my alignments with previous partners and lovers — and nothing. One other partner from 2017 had his sun conjunct my anti-vertex and one of my male best friends has his vertex / sun in conjuction with my vertex — but that was the extent of what I found — nothing like what I was seeing with this chart.

There were many overlaps of synastry conections for marriage between our charts — I won’t share them all out of privacy, but what I will share with you today, is how to witness love in your own chart, mapped against your lover/s or partner/s.

The charts don’t create love. They witness it.

This is what I want to teach you today: how to read marriage synastry not just through Venus and the 7th house (though we will get there), but through the asteroid layer — the mythological sub-language of the chart that speaks specifically about commitment, fidelity, sacred union, and what your soul is searching for in a partner.
