Ever ponder why it seems that love causes more heals than good? Why does it seem like heartbreak is a lesson that is repeated in every relationship? If you are stuck in a pattern of emotional distress and broken relationships, astrology may have more answers than psychology.

Your sun sign is just one aspect of your birth chart, which is sometimes referred to as a unique “karmic blueprint.” It maps out your karmic obligation, love language, emotional requirements, and relationship patterns.

Let's explore how your Rahu-Ketu axis and your 7th house can help you understand why you keep being hurt and how to get better.

“Your heart’s not broken. Your heart is awakening.”

Your Moon Sign: Emotional Needs and Vulnerability

Your innermost desires, anxieties, and pain are all governed by the moon. In relationships, it symbolizes your emotional self; if it's positioned incorrectly or in a sensitive sign, you could feel emotionally hurt or misunderstood all the time.

Typical Moon Sign Pain Patterns:

• Pisces Moon: Tends to see love through rose-tinted glasses, expecting fairy-tale perfection. When reality falls short, deep disappointment and emotional devastation engulf them.

• Cancer Moon: Their sensitivity and care are very profound, they are fragile. They crave emotional security as well as constant reassurance, sometimes resulting in clingy or dependent behaviour.

• Scorpio Moon: They are the most fervent types, at risk of feeling their passion turned to betrayal. True as their love goes, it makes them vulnerable and gives them power over their emotions to the point of following one trust-cycle with an undo heartbreak.

• Moon with Saturn, Rahu or Ketu: Produces various emotional blocks. These natives tend to find it difficult to express their feelings to the world while continuously oscillating between being aloof and expressing confusion, as well as suppressed emotional needs.

What you can do:

Develop emotional independence.

Learn to recognise your emotional triggers.

Venus: Patterns of Attraction & Love Style

The planet Venus is associated with love, attractiveness, and the kind of people you attract into your life. Venus can show up as infatuation, one - sided love, toxic relationships when it is I'll or difficult in a sign.

Patterns of Pain by Venus Sign

• Venus in Aries: Hurries into a relationship without considering whether the two people will get along.

• Venus in Virgo: Attracts those who take them for granted because she overthinks and gives too much.

• Venus in Scorpio: Attracted to intensity, this planet frequently draws domineering or unavailable companions.

• Venus with Rahu/ Venus with Ketu/ Venus with Mars: Karmic or unconventional relationships; extreme highs and lows.

What you can do:

Change the way you think about love.

Consider your pattern of attraction.

Saturn: The Romance Karmic Taskmaster

If Venus stands for what we want, then Saturn is for what we need to know. Saturn, sometimes referred to as the “teacher of karma”, brings maturity in romantic relationships, delves and challenges. When Venus, the Moon, or the 7th house is influenced by Saturn:

• Having a relationship seems oppressive and heavy.

• Although it comes later in life, love is more reliable.

• Karmic ties and emotional distance could be dominant.

The partnerships that people with Saturn and Karma themes in their charts tend to attract are slow, serious, and occasionally painful; they feel like life lessons.

Mercury: Interaction and Perplexity

Mercury affects your ability to communicate, think, and connect intellectually with others. A retrograde period or badly positioned Mercury might result in:

• Misunderstandings

• Ignorance, emotional misunderstanding.

• Not giving in to clashing minds.

Many old relationships come back to life during Mercury retrograde, not for reunion but for introspection. Instead of reattaching, it's time to go back. Assessing compatibility requires an understanding of each other’s emotional language, which shows Mercury influence. Are you able to resolve conflict through conversation, or do you tend to misunderstand others?

The Rahu and Ketu axis: Karmic Pull in Love

The birth chart’s karmic axis is made up of the lunar nodes - Rahu and Ketu. They stand for the evolutionary path of your soul: what you are drawn to (Rahu) and what you are eschewing (Ketu).

In a relationship:

• Rahu in the 7th house or conjunct Venus: This position attracts relations, almost like a magnet, often in pursuit of the ideal, fantasy-led partner. At times, obsessive attraction may be present, where love is intoxicating; at other times, it is clearly unstable and may lead to rounds of infatuation and disappointment.

• Ketu in the 1st house: Such people lose themselves within relationships, usually giving too much, only to withdraw into psychosis when betrayed or heartbroken. This is because they have gone through some deep emotional drama that really gets them thinking about themselves and identity.

• Rahu - Ketu transit: Each fall serves as cosmic distruptor or relationships, engendering fated encounters, sudden beginnings, or shocking endings. Sometimes, it even rekindles old connections, ensuring that love life feels karmically unpredictable and beyond control.

These positions suggest past life entanglements and karmic debts. The intensity is inscribed in your soul contact, so you are not imagining it. Detachment and realising when a relationship is intended to educate rather than to stay are the keys to healing.

Healing: Turning Your Chart into Compass

Astrology does not “doom” you with permanent pain. It just makes sure patterns are visible so you may make different decisions. This is how to change:

• Examine your Venus placement: To determine your values and preferred language of love.

• Study your Saturn: To see where you are afraid of rejection or loss? Growth can be found there.

• Analyze Rahu and Ketu: Which Karmic topics do you keep coming back to?

• Note Mercury: Improve your ability to express love.

• Examine Synastry: To learn about the emotional triggers that you and your relationships experience.

Also, watch the stars’ moves and planetary Dashas(timing periods). At times, tough times push you to change.

Final Thoughts: Your Heart is a Guide

Although heartbreak can feel earth-shattering in the moment, the practice of astrology teaches us that heartbreak is just the start of healing and growth. Broken hearts point to a planet, disappointments point to karmic lessons, and failed relationships mean you are one step closer to your deepest soul need.

When you begin to understand your placements, like Venus and love, Saturn and karma, or the Rahu-Ketu axis, you no longer think of heartbreak as bad luck, and instead, feel empowered to consciously act on your lessons. You will see that even the most painful connection, called a karma relationship, was not a punishment but a teacher.

Love does not need to feel like a war zone! Knowing the lessons of Mercury influence, Mars-Saturn conjunctions, you will learn to identify if love is serving torture or healing. Your awareness becomes a shield for you, and self-worth becomes an anchor.

The truth is: you are not destined to repeat heartbreaks. You were just growing through them. Once you align with the wisdom of your chart, those partners who test and play with your wounds will fall away, and true love will honour you as a beautiful and soulful being.
