Commitment issues? Karmic debts from past life

Love is rarely just about the present. Sometimes, it carries the weight of past lives, binding souls in unseen contracts. The 7th house, the domain of partnerships, often reveals these karmic connections. When Venus is afflicted or Ketu lingers nearby, love becomes a repeating cycle—one where relationships form, fracture, and return in different forms across lifetimes.

Some connections feel instantly familiar. A strong attraction, an unexplainable pull, or a deep emotional bond can be signs of past-life ties. But not all past bonds are meant to last. Malefic influences can turn love into a lesson rather than a sanctuary. Patterns emerge—similar partners, familiar heartbreaks, the same unfulfilled longing. Love slips through one’s fingers, leaving behind the ache of unfinished karma.

Retrograde planets intensify this journey, forcing introspection. They stir old wounds, compelling individuals to recognize where love has faltered before. Ketu, the planet of detachment, often signals relationships where emotional closeness feels just out of reach. One partner may always seem distant, or circumstances may never align. It is as if the universe whispers: “Not yet.”

Yet, karma is not a life sentence. Astrology does not only reveal these patterns but also offers pathways to break them. Spiritual practices, self-awareness, and even modern therapy can help untangle karmic debts. Vedic remedies—mantras, gemstone alignments, and ritualistic offerings—aid in dissolving lingering energies. More importantly, conscious effort in relationships can shift patterns, replacing old fears with trust and understanding.

True love is not bound by fate; it is shaped by awareness. By recognizing karmic cycles, one can move beyond past echoes and embrace a future where love is no longer a lesson, but a choice—one made with clarity, growth, and freedom.
