Written in the Stars: The Astrology of Soulmate, Karmic, and Twin Flame Relationships

Rose (You Only Fall in Love Three Times: The Secret Search for Our Twin Flame) proposes that people will experience three loves. The first love is “the soul mate,” someone whose upbringing or other conditioning seems to communicate that they are the perfect match—but typically is not. The second love is “karmic,” often filled with drama and all the issues a person has incarnated to learn from and deal with. The third love is “the twin flame,” or divine perfect love, in which a person will flourish and grow as oneself and with one another. All three kinds of love are in service to helping one expand, develop, and strengthen a primary relationship with themselves. Rose provides side-by-side planetary charts of paired relationships, explaining problems or alignments. Included are interpretations for the placement of Saturn, Mercury, Venus, North Node, and South Node that are significant to these types of loves. Readers should know their own natal chart and have their lover’s, and ideally their parents’, on hand to best make use of the book.
