How Astrology Influences Your Love Choices: We Attract What We Are!

Astrology, far more than just star reading, serves as a symbolic language that sheds light on our desires, emotions, and relationships. “Each birth chart acts like a mirror, reflecting our motivations, strengths, and weaknesses,” explains Inès Sarthal, an astrologer. By deciphering our natal chart, she helps us understand why we attract certain partners and how our relationships evolve.

“Our birth chart is like a mythological detective story that narrates our personal journey,” she continues. Each chart, based on the planetary positions at the time of our birth, mirrors our needs, talents, and wounds, influencing whom we fall in love with. For instance, someone influenced by Neptune or the Pisces sign might be drawn to an artistic or spiritual partner, but also to someone potentially unstable, requiring excessive devotion. According to the astrologer, these choices are significant: “We attract what we embody. The relationships we experience reflect aspects of ourselves, sometimes bright, sometimes more complex.”

Yet, nothing is set in stone. “Our birth chart acts as a prism through which we view our partners. Tense aspects reflect our inner conflicts, while harmonious aspects ease our relationships,” explains Inès Sarthal. Sometimes, challenging relationships confront us with ignored aspects of ourselves. “An Aquarius with a Scorpio rising might overlook their instinctive emotions and favor logic. A significant encounter could then push them to explore feelings they had suppressed, like jealousy. It’s uncomfortable but crucial for personal growth.”

“Astrology teaches us that our relationships are a reflection of ourselves”

Our romantic preferences also evolve with planetary transits, the movements of the planets that interact with our natal chart. These can lead to a thrilling encounter, a breakup, or a sudden urge for freedom. Although destabilizing, these changes are opportunities to rethink our needs. “Transits act as amplifiers or disruptors, but they always pave the way for personal and relational growth,” she adds.

Certain planets dominate the romantic landscape: the Sun, Mars, the Moon, and Venus. However, their positions in astrological houses (life sectors) and their interactions (aspects) add layers of complexity. The four astrological elements (Fire, Earth, Air, Water) also affect compatibility. “Fire and Air naturally complement each other, as do Water and Earth. Yet more complex combinations, like Water and Air, can lead to tensions that astrology can help smooth out.”

Beyond mere prediction, astrology is a powerful tool for a deeper understanding of love dynamics. “By analyzing our respective charts, we can foresee tensions, overcome obstacles, and build more aligned relationships,” asserts Inès. Ultimately, astrology encourages us to improve our relationship with ourselves. “Our projections onto others are often the source of misunderstandings. Astrology teaches us that our relationships are a reflection of ourselves. The more we learn to love ourselves, the more fully we can love others,” concludes Inès Sarthal. With its keys for analysis and introspection, astrology becomes a valuable ally for living harmonious and fulfilling relationships.
