The Stages of a Relationship—Stage 4 & 5: Partnership & Leadership

The final two stages of a relationship, according to karmic astrologer Judy Hall

We’re down to the last two relationship stages.

For this week’s newsletter, I decided to combine Stage 4: Partnership and Stage 5: Leadership as they seem to go hand-in-hand.

In case you missed it, last week we revealed Karmic Connections author Judy Hall’s breakdown of Stage 3: The Dead Zone, which touched on the often-difficult phase when one soul struggles to be free while the other holds on or tries to merge—and all of the sometimes-unconscious challenges that can arise because of it.

Again, these stages are meant to be seen through a karmic astrology and spiritual lens, meaning that these stages are sometimes brought into this lifetime from karmic debt in previous lifetimes by souls that have chosen to reincarnate together.

With that said, let’s dive into the last two stages…

Stage 4: Partnership
Planets operating: The positive face of the outer planets according to the synastry.

“By the time the partners get to this stage, they have become comfortable with each other. They will probably have incarnated together many times and taken on a number of different relationship roles. They now truly recognize each other and value what they see. Two people have become one, not in the sense of merging into each other, but in the reality of having created a relationship that functions creatively and well. But it does not do to get complacent. The souls have an impetus towards growth and deep issues may arise which need healing so that the souls can move on into what Chuck Spezzano calls:

Stage 5: Leadership
Planets operating: The highest vibration of the natal, composite and relationship charts and the synastry between the couple.
