In this course on Astrosofia, after addressing compatibility at the level of personality and at the level of the soul , we will see how to calculate your compatibility with others at the spirit level: read this article or watch the video to understand the spiritual affinity and karmic bond you have with others.
Spiritual compatibility and the myth of the Soulmate
Learn more about the Law of Intentional Creation
The myth of the Soulmate spread thanks to Plato's Symposium, in which it is told that once upon a time humans were formed with two heads, four arms, and four legs. They were then divided in two by the wrath of Zeus, because they had attempted to climb Mount Olympus, and from that moment each half wanders in search of its other half, and if they meet, they strongly desire to merge together.
I believe that the power of the myth lies precisely in the idea of two souls that recognize each other, because they feel they were once united as one, and that they still desire, despite having separate bodies, to be able to reach the state of spiritual and physical fusion.
We do not know if the soulmate is only one, and it does not seem to me that this is the heart of the matter: I propose we be content with checking if a person can be our Soul Companion, a soul with whom we have spiritual and emotional affinity, towards whom we feel true, unconditional love, the kind that lasts a long time, even if not necessarily for life. Let's call them a Soulmate, because this term has a strong symbolic power and represents a very strong bond.
What is undeniable is that there are truly special encounters, in which two people recognize each other and from that moment on never leave each other and, even if they do, they remain linked by a sublimated love for life.
What do you believe in?
Certain bonds between people pre-exist at the time of their encounter: they are karmic bonds. Those who have experienced it know. The feeling of already knowing each other well, of being soulmates, is very strong, and neither of the two can go back to their old life from the moment they found each other. Those who haven't experienced it in love will surely have experienced the feeling of déjà vu with places. But we cannot delve deeper into such an important topic here. The phenomenon goes beyond rational understanding.
Physics speaks of parallel universes and parallel lives, spiritualists of previous lives, more generally one could imagine a place where souls are together before individualizing and being born. The only TRUE question to ask is: what do you believe in? What you believe in is fundamental. Thus the way this karmic bond was created can be explained in a way that is consistent with your thinking. We therefore establish that here I use the term "previous/parallel lives" to indicate that the Soulmates in question recognize each other because they have already known each other. Where and when, depends on what you believe.

Astrological calculation of the karmic bond in the Natal Chart
To understand compatibility at the Spirit level, the relationship between Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto (the karmic or slow planets) of one person and the light points of another is observed. In this context we call the Sun, Ascendant, and Moon 'light points', regardless of any light-shadow differences. Even if in shadow, in fact, they remain fundamental points of personality. In this case we have important information about the relationship between two people when one of the karmic planets of one person is in the same sign as a light point of another, or when the two signs in question make an aspect.
The sensations felt by the one who puts the karmic planet and the one who puts the light point are not so clearly defined, sometimes both people feel the same thing towards each other.

Saturn
It rules Capricorn and is related to the earth-water elements. If one person's Saturn is in the same sign as another's light point - Sun, Ascendant, or Moon - the relationship is karmic, meaning that a repetition of an old rigid relational model occurs in this life or a system of repairing the lack of responsibility from a past/parallel life is in progress. The feeling at the first encounter is one of security, respect, authority, responsibility.
The person who "puts" their Saturn on another's light point holds authority and expects the other not to change and helps them structure themselves better. The person who "puts" their light point near another's Saturn is cautious and fearful, initially trying to avoid the relationship, then understands the value of the other and always feels they "owe" something to the other. These are the most lasting relationships of all.

Uranus
It rules Aquarius and is related to the air-fire elements. If one person's Uranus is in the same sign as another's light point (Sun, Ascendant, or Moon), in this life there is a repetition of an old sporadic and unpredictable relational model, or a system of repairing the lack of (or too much) freedom from a past/parallel life is in progress. The feeling at the first encounter is one of excitement, inconsistency, freedom.
The person who "puts" their Uranus on another's light point feels they must escape to avoid being suffocated and tries to do exciting things on their own, rebels against constraints and detests jealousy and manipulation. The person who "puts" their light point near another's Uranus is affected by the requests for freedom, the impersonality and the other's indifference to their needs and desires, and the lack of intimacy. These are the most exciting relationships, but there is no room for everyday life and routine.

Neptune
It rules Pisces and is related to the water-earth elements. If one person's Neptune is in the same sign as another's light point (Sun, Ascendant, or Moon), in this life there is a feeling of indebtedness on the part of the person who "puts" Neptune on another's light point, whichcan cause confusion and resentment or the need to escape the other person's influence over the other person's identity or vitality. The feeling at the first encounter is one of unconditional love, compassion, pity, identification, and commitment.
The person who "puts" their Neptune on another's light point feels a strong urge to idealize the other that pushes them to give without asking, as if they wanted (and did not "have to") to repay a debt of love; the relationship can in some cases be confused and disoriented and can lead to deception to avoid facing the truth. The person who "puts" their light point on another's Neptune receives unconditional love and can sometimes take advantage of their generosity; if the relationship is disharmonious, they may feel frustration at the other's "vagueness" and desire to escape.

Pluto
It rules Scorpio and is related to the water-earth elements. Since Pluto is very slow, the relationship is karmic only if the conjunction is within 1-2 degrees of proximity, it is not enough for them to be in the same sign. If one person's Pluto is conjunct another's light point (Sun, Ascendant, or Moon), in this life there is the repetition of an old relational model in which it is necessary to learn independence or a system of repairing the excess of control and manipulative power from a past life is in progress.
The person who "puts" their Pluto on another's light point feels a strong urge toward manipulation, absorption, transformation, death-rebirth extremism and can influence, plagiarize, and demolish the other at a spiritual level (if little aware) or encourage them to transform themselves in an intense and determined way (if aware). The person who "puts" their light point on another's Pluto is attracted by the other's magnetism, but feels they can be plagiarized or must distance themselves to be able to live and breathe freely.

Conjunctions are not the only thing that matters
Once you have acquired some experience in calculating the karmic bond, you will examine not only the conjunctions between planets (when they are in the same sign), but also the relationship based on compatibility (based on the elements in which they are), and the aspects they form, always paying attention to compare a slow planet of one person with a light point (Sun, Moon, Ascendant) of the other.
