Marriage Happiness Karma - My observations as an Astrologer

You know, as an astrologer (and someone who's had her fair share of cosmic relationship lessons), I’ve come to realize that happiness in relationships isn’t some mystical alignment of the stars—it’s a skill. And let’s be real, it’s a skill that requires patience, self-awareness, and a good sense of humor. Especially when Mercury is in retrograde, and your partner suddenly forgets how to text back.

The Cosmic Foundations of Relationship Happiness

At the heart of every thriving relationship is a sturdy foundation—kind of like a well-aspected Venus. If trust, respect, and open communication aren’t in place, you’re basically trying to build a love life on a Mercury-Neptune square (translation: confusion, miscommunication, and a whole lot of “wait, what did you mean by that?”).

As women, we tend to have an innate emotional intelligence that helps us connect deeply. Some of us are naturally nurturing (hello, Moon in Cancer types), while others bring a fiery passion into their relationships (looking at you, Venus in Aries). But no matter what your sign says about your love style, understanding your own emotional needs is the first step to relationship happiness.

Step One: Recognize Your Personal Needs (Before You Expect Him to Read Your Mind)

I’ve learned the hard way that expecting someone to “just know” what you need is a recipe for disaster. Unless your partner is a psychic (or a well-trained Pisces), they probably don’t instinctively know that you need space after a long day or that “I’m fine” actually means “I need reassurance.”

So, here’s your cosmic toolkit for self-awareness:

• Self-Love: You know how the airlines tell you to put on your own oxygen mask before helping others? Same thing applies to relationships. If you don’t prioritize self-love, you’ll end up expecting your partner to fill that void—and that’s a heavy burden for anyone. Love yourself first, and watch how your relationships transform.

• Setting Boundaries: Boundaries are the Saturn of relationships—firm, sometimes annoying, but absolutely necessary. Whether it’s needing alone time, protecting your energy, or simply stating that you will NOT be the only one doing emotional labor, healthy boundaries ensure balance.

• Emotional Expression: We all know that one person who bottles up their emotions until they explode like an unexpected Mars transit. Don’t be that person. Say what you feel, when you feel it, and don’t expect your partner to be a mind-reader. It saves a lot of heartache (and unnecessary passive-aggressive text messages).

  
  

The Role of Your Cosmic Support System (a.k.a. Your Besties)

Let’s be honest—sometimes the only thing standing between us and a questionable text to our ex is a solid friend group. Your support system (friends, family, even your astrologer—hi!) is crucial for keeping you grounded. Whether it’s venting about a rough patch or getting perspective on what’s really going on, having people who genuinely want the best for you is invaluable.

Embracing Change

Here’s a truth bomb: relationships evolve. Just like the planetary transits that shake things up in your chart, relationships go through seasons. The key to happiness is adaptability—knowing when to hold on, when to let go, and when to simply ride the wave of transformation.

So, if you’re in a season of growth, embrace it. If you’re in a season of recalibrating, take your time. And if you’re in a season where you’re questioning everything—blame it on Ketu and take a deep breath.

Final Thought: Happiness Comes From Within (Not Just a Well-Placed Venus)

At the end of the day, happiness in relationships isn’t about finding the perfect person—it’s about being your most authentic self. When you honor your needs, communicate openly, and embrace growth, your relationships naturally flourish. And remember, whether you’re single, partnered, or currently side-eyeing your latest situationship, happiness is an inside job.

So, own your cosmic energy, set your boundaries like Saturn, and let your happiness shine brighter than Venus in exaltation. Because, trust me, the best relationships are the ones where you get to be your most radiant, unapologetic self.
