In this case, what enters the relationship through that destiny “stargate” is at the point of the 7th house cusp, Venus-ruled, what one likes. There are so many factors to consider, but I find these individual indicators interesting and one more to add to your arsenal of “hmm, isn’t THAT something!”īefore I accept that something “works” I really need to have a grasp on WHY it works. Of course, reflectively, that doesn’t mean it WON’T be blissful or long-lasting. What it means is that it will be important and ultimately growth-inducing. This doesn’t mean the relationship will be easy, or blissful or even long-lasting. However, one such indicator of a fated relationship is the composite vertex conjunct the composite descendent. I hesitate to use the word “soulmate” because there is no specific, agreed upon definition. Not having any particular one does not mean the relationship is not special or destined.

There are many possible indicators of a fated relationship. Its vertex is the midpoint between the individuals’ vertices. The composite chart has a vertex as well.

But what of the relationship? The relationship itself has a chart it is called the composite and is the chart of the midpoints between the planets and angles of the two individuals’ charts. There is more than one way to spot the chart of a person with whom one has a fate link, but it is often reflected in vertex interaspects between the charts. The vertex is a “fated encounter” point in any chart and linked to timing by transit and aspect.
