What are karmic relationships? "Karmic Relationships" in Astrology helps us to know about the relationship between two people. Each person brings their own karma into relationships, as indicated by the position of Rahu (North Node) and Ketu (South Node) in the birth chart. Cross check between two individuals' birth charts reveal more about what kind of karmic relationship people have with each other. Karmic relationships can be very helpful in general for romantic partners as well as husband wife relationships.
Synastry is an astrological technique of determining compatibility between two individuals by comparing the planets sign with another person planet's sign. In this technique we check if similar signs fall over each other sign in the birth chart to those in the other person’s chart. e.g. If your Saturn in Taurus and your partner Rahu/North Node in Taurus its mean your Saturn sign falling on its Rahu/North Node sign then you have some karmic relation with them. When this happens it shows some past connection with a partner there is some learning in this lifetime with that person.
There are some people who say that, when they meet someone they feel something which attracts them, they may be drawn to someone highly romantically but it does not mean they have a long lasting relationship. It is just due to their planets placement in the birth chart which create some magnetic attraction. As we know Rahu (North Node) and Ketu (South Node) are not planets, they are the Moon nodes which work like magnetic fields. Whenever any planet sign matches with another person Rahu/North Node and Ketu (South Node) sign it creates a magnetic pull and you draw to that person automatically. When there is this kind of planetary relationship with another node of the moon then it has some meaning.
This can be very positive or can be negative depending on which planets are involved with Rahu (North Node) and Ketu (South Node) with another person's birth chart. Karmic relationships in a chart suggest the lesson you need to learn. If you are in a situation like this, consider that it may be a valuable gift from the universe. You are being challenged to overcome it so that you can go to the next level of consciousness.
