Recognising harmful relationship dynamics
The purpose here is education and awareness. I explain how certain astrological dynamics are commonly framed, how they can actually play out in unsafe relationships, and why romanticising them can be dangerous.
Important Video
If you’ve followed my work, this page won’t come as a surprise. I’ve been consistently clear that some synastry aspects are heavily romanticised even though, in real life, they often show up as control, fear, or harm. I’ve talked about this repeatedly in videos, research pieces, and longer projects. This page simply brings that work together in one place.
This isn’t therapy or counselling, and astrology is not a substitute for legal, medical, or support services. It’s about staying alert where people are often encouraged to look away.

FAQs
Why are you talking about domestic violence in synastry?
Because some relationship aspects are constantly romanticised in astrology even though, in real life, they often show up as control, fear, or harm. Ignoring that doesn’t help anyone.
Are you saying astrology causes abuse?
No. Astrology doesn’t cause abuse and it doesn’t excuse it. This is about recognising trends, not blaming charts or people.
Is this therapy or counselling?
No. This is educational content. Astrology is not therapy and doesn’t replace legal, medical, or support services.
Why are you so direct about “dangerous” aspects?
Because pretending risk is neutral helps no one. If something commonly shows up as unsafe in real relationships, I’m going to say that plainly instead of dressing it up as “passion” or “chemistry”.
What if someone feels stuck or unable to leave?
That’s exactly why this page exists. Awareness is one part, but knowing you have rights and options matters too. Even when leaving feels impossible, help exists, legally and practically.
Are you telling people what to do?
No. Decisions are always personal. But staying silent when something is dangerous isn’t neutrality, and I won’t do that.
What qualifies you to speak about unsafe relationship dynamics?
My approach is informed by formal learning and long-term research around relationship dynamics, conflict, and women’s access to justice, as well as years of publicly challenging the romanticisation of unsafe synastry patterns. Details of that learning are available separately for transparency.
