The Astrology Of Significant Love Affairs
What is the astrology of big love phenonomens? Significant romantic encounters seem preordained. They’re a moment and you know it in real-time, just as soon as that buzzy magic kicks up. The air particles around you shimmer and seem to behave differently, as if subject to the laws of a parallel dimension. You’re partially inhabiting it as well, of course.
It’s where you feel five times more alive yet live off cosmic rays, Schumann Resonance, and locked-in tractor-beam mutual eye contact/windows-of-the-soul pheromones. You’re amoral but it’s not your fault – convention hoofed it out of the room when the first scalar wave of big-love vibe hit.
The quantum entanglement style of relationship is rare. When it occurs, the astro is definitive and dramatic. The charming duo above are will be our astrological significant encounter case study.
They’re golden-era Hollywood stars William Holden and Audrey Hepburn. It was October 1953, they’d just met on the set of a rom-com called Sabrina and were having lunch with the director + producers. They were about to embark on an intense affair which blazed away, collapsed inward like a supernova and then apparently started up again years later.
It was instant, flamboyant and life/psyche-altering for each. Here is the astrology in play at the time:
*Mars was conjunct Venus in Virgo – the go-to for “orgasms run my life” atmospherics.
*Jupiter in Gemini trined Saturn in Libra – the epitome of harmony between minds and shared philosophies.
*Uranus in Cancer squared Neptune in Libra – a disrupt to standard Neptunian programming – weird, alluring and underwritten by strange magic.
Outer Planet Synastry For “This Is Bigger Than Both Of Us” Cred
So that’s the general background atmosphere, influencing everyone. While Hepburn and William Holden were making goo-goo eyes at one another over lunch, the first even transistor radio went on sale. But then in the case of these two, these ultra-big-deal planetary configs were directly influencing their natal astro.
*Hepburn had Pluto in Leo trine her Venus in Aries and square her Jupiter/Node in Taurus.
*He had Pluto trine his Aries Sun and Uranus conjunct his Moon. Uranus also squared her Venus as Neptune opposed it. Jupiter was on Holden’s midheaven and trine her Ascendant. Consciously or not, both of them would have been looking for galactic-level regeneration, as well as a channel for their hyperbolic energy.
*And the Mars-Venus conjunction squared her Moon/his Venus – not that they needed that little lust bump, obviously.
*Saturn was opposite his Sun/her Venus – they were both married (to other people) when they met.
All those outer planet syncs between them at a time when each outer planet was involved in its own intricate config and their mutual ‘go hard or go home’ transits were the perfect storm of space pheromones.
Space Pheromones & Chaos Magic
So notice that there are three factors convergent here – (1) Officially definitive outer planet alignments occurring, (2) Those alignments directly ping off the natal birth points of both people – so they’re both in the mood to quantum everything and (3) Their synastry -the angles between their individual astro – is high potency and immediately clear to them and anyone in radius.
You can see the energy dancing around in this picture, right? Her Moon was conjunct his Venus and her Venus was conjunct his Sun. That sort of Sun, Moon and inner planet mirroring is an archetypal compatibility component for a reason; it materializes as instantaneous intimacy and mutual ‘wow’ factor – the ‘in jokes within ten minutes of having met‘ style of chemistry.
Her Mars-Pluto was on his Cancerian Moon and his Uranus was conjunct her Ascendant. There is loads more but you get the idea. Thoughts?
Love love this. I can feel the magic in this photo
yes, i think it is because they look non-actory – they’re not projecting out, their energy fields are doing something
You get transit romances, affairs and you get natal relationships. The transit ones start with a bang and usually end as quickly as the transit moves on but the natal ones tend to last until the lesson is learned or the reason known and that might just take a lifetime.
Wise words
Gorgeous photo.
I’ve had one romance in my life where our first exchange was a look of recognition. No words required.
We didn’t last and 18 months later I ran into him and his now wife on their way to an obstetrician’s appointment. She was noticeably pregnant.
I sooo want to say something but i have ten thousand browser tabs open with tech stuff lol
Oh wow. I love these old school, big romances. It’s probably got something to do with the black and white pictures, tbh, so glamorous. I wonder also about Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. I’m guessing a bunch of Neptune influences, particularly because they had such incendiary chemistry on-screen.
One would never think William Holden & Audrey Hepburn would be compatible on any level. The stars had other ideas.
Such intense vibes
What a great story, Astro-magic. And I LOVE that photo. Is that a glass of milk sitting in front of Mr Holden?
Wow!
Those rare moments when two people are so In tune to each other, that the perception is that they are the only two people in the universe. I have had the experience. I had people tell me what it felt like to witness it, as it can only happen with observers. It is raw energy and pure magic.
You’re amoral but it’s not your fault – convention hoofed it out of the room when the first scalar wave of big-love vibe hit.
I already wrote here about my predicament. A married woman (hopefully soon-to-be divorced) having a relationship with a married man.
I tried to go away many times but it doesn’t work! It’s magical and beautiful and looking asrologically at events it’s more powerfully magical. There have been many transits and phenomenal experiences that left both of us with no words, no answers for the feelings and emotions that we have shared.
Neptune is transiting my 9th house opposite Mars, Mercury and Sun and he’s a Pisces. His first language is English and says I have cute mistakes…
Last summer I visited a friend in the north of the country where I live, he was in a holiday with his wife in the north too. In 25 years I’ve been married me and hub never went to holidays. I said to myself, that’s it, I’m fuqing hurt, I can’t bear it anymore and got stung by a scorpion. I welcomed the pain, experienced a kind of rebirthing, it was like, I overcome a pain with another one. Months later I discovered that she’s a Scorpio.
It didn’t end there and I have a feeling it’s not going to end soon. Last year he had Saturn squaring his moon, now he has Pluto squaring his moon and when Pluto will enter Aquarius its going to conjunct his ascendant while my soon-to-be ex conjunct his Sun – same degree. I’ll stop here…
The body language !
Sigh 🙁
Looks like the Elizabeth Hurley meets Shane Warne photo of the start of their cyclonic relationship – yes, we can SEE the electricity!! I don’t know their charts but the outline of Audrey and William’s charts is magic isn’t it? Astrology is magic!!
