I met someone three months ago and it feels like I have known him forever. How do I know if he is my soulmate?
Please share your birth details, and his if he gave them to you. I will compare his Moon sign with the signs Phaladeepika links to your 1st and 7th lords, then read your current dasha. Your own sense of how he treats you still matters most.
Short answer
No single sign proves someone is your soulmate, in astrology or in life. An astrologer compares the other person's chart with your 1st and 7th lords, reads your running dasha, and uses prashna or tarot if their birth time is unknown. Research adds that instant certainty is mostly physical attraction. On Kismo, verified Vedic astrologers compare both charts by chat or call, online from anywhere.
What are the key facts about soulmate?
| Answer | |
|---|---|
| The question | Is this person I know the partner my chart describes? |
| What an astrologer compares | Their Moon sign against the signs linked to your 1st and 7th lords, then the rest of both charts 1 |
| What the classical rule allows | About 9 of the 12 Moon signs for a typical chart, so it narrows little on its own |
| What it cannot do | Read the other person's feelings or decide for them |
| What to bring | Your birth date, time and place; theirs if they shared it with you |
| Session on Kismo | From ₹15 a minute, first session with 5 free minutes, online from anywhere in India and abroad |
What does an astrologer check to tell whether someone is your soulmate?
- The signs of your 1st and 7th lords. Phaladeepika 10.11 reads the spouse's Moon sign as trine to the rasi or navamsa of those two lords 1.
- The exaltation and debilitation signs of those lords. The same verse lists them as further candidate Moon signs for the spouse 1.
- The other person's Moon sign, checked against that list. A match is one supporting clue, not a verdict.
- Your 7th lord's strength. Phaladeepika 10.6 reads a strong, benefic 7th lord as a good-natured partner 1.
- Your running dasha. Phaladeepika 10.13 links marriage to the dasha of a planet in, owning or aspecting the 7th house 1.
- Prashna or tarot when their birth time is unknown, since the Moon sign alone can be read but the rest of their chart cannot.
What changes the answer when you want to know if one person is your soulmate?
- Whether you have their exact birth time. With it the astrologer reads their whole chart; with only the date, little more than their Moon sign.
- Whether the feeling is shared and they are free to choose. A chart reading never overrides the other person's own wishes.
- How long you have known them. Early on, the reading leans on timing and your chart; later, on how the relationship actually works.
- Whether you are in a dasha linked to the 7th house. Many astrologers read the same person differently inside and outside such a period.
How many Moon signs fit the classical rule for a spouse?
The Phaladeepika 10.11 rule fits about 9 of the 12 Moon signs for a typical chart. So a person whose Moon sign fits is common, and the rule alone cannot single anyone out.
| Calculated fact | Result |
|---|---|
| Candidate Moon signs per chart, average | 9.1 of 12 |
| Candidate Moon signs per chart, median | 9 of 12 |
| Fewest and most candidate signs seen | 4 and 12 |
| Random partners whose Moon sign is on the list | 76.3% |
Calculated from public astronomical data with the open-source astronomia library: 10,000 random Delhi charts born 1960 to 2005, Lahiri sidereal, each paired with a random partner. The count used trines of the rasi and navamsa of the 1st and 7th lords plus their exaltation and debilitation signs, leaving out the verse's ashtakavarga option.
Can you recognise your soulmate at first sight?
Recognising a soulmate at first sight looks, in research, more like strong physical attraction than love. A University of Groningen team studied it in an online survey, a lab study and three dating events 2.
Across 396 people, 32 reported love at first sight 49 times 3. Each one-point rise in physical attraction, on a 5-point scale, went with a nine-fold rise in the odds of reporting it 3. None of the cases at the speed-dating events was mutual 3.
The researchers found those first moments carried neither high passion, nor intimacy, nor commitment 2. Their conclusion was that love at first sight is a strong initial attraction that some people later call love 2.
In India, many people have little room to test a feeling before marriage. In the 2016 Lokniti-CSDS youth survey, 53% disapproved of dating before marriage and 15% approved 4.
| Quality young Indians named first in a partner | Share of all youth | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Good nature and simple personality | 14% | 4 |
| Educational qualification | 8% | 4 |
| Understanding and respectful | 6% | 4 |
| Looks or skin colour | 5% | 4 |
| No opinion given | 49% | 4 |
A Kismo astrologer can compare two charts, read your timing and help you put words to what you feel. No astrologer can read another person's heart, decide for them, or replace time spent seeing how someone treats you.
What should I think about before asking an astrologer if someone is my soulmate?
A short checklist before a soulmate reading keeps the session about your own path. These points come from what astrologers need and from respect for the other person.
- Write down the exact question: is this person right for me, when might I marry, or what kind of partner suits me.
- Use the other person's birth details only if they shared them with you.
- Notice how they act over weeks, not one meeting: do they keep their word and treat you with respect.
- Ask whether the feeling is mutual in real life before asking the chart.
- Decide in advance that no reading will push you to pressure, follow or track anyone.
What do people get wrong about this?
Belief: My soulmate must have the same Moon sign as me.
Phaladeepika 10.11 lists signs trine to your 1st and 7th lords and their exaltation and debilitation signs, not your own Moon sign 1. Several different signs can fit.

Questions people ask
How do I know if someone is my soulmate in astrology?
There is no single test. An astrologer compares the person's Moon sign with the signs Phaladeepika links to your 1st and 7th lords, then reads both charts and your current dasha. Because that rule fits about 9 of 12 signs, it supports a match rather than proving one. How the person treats you over time matters as much.
I feel like I have known him forever. Is that a soulmate sign?
A strong sense of familiarity is a real feeling, but it is not proof of a soulmate. Research on love at first sight found it mostly tracked physical attraction and was often one-sided. Give the relationship time, see whether the feeling is mutual, and use a reading as one input among several.
Can an astrologer tell if my crush is my soulmate without his birth time?
Partly. From the birth date alone an astrologer can usually find his Moon sign and compare it with your chart. The ascendant and houses need a birth time. Many astrologers use prashna, a chart for the moment you ask, or tarot, when the other person's time is unknown.
Can tarot tell me if this person is my soulmate?
Tarot can speak to the feelings and choices around a relationship as you see them now, through the cards drawn. Tarot cannot read the other person's mind, give dates or decide anything for them. Many readers pair it with a chart reading when birth details are missing.
Is it safe to share someone else's birth details with an astrologer?
Share another person's birth details only if they gave them to you, and only for a reading, never to track or pressure them. An honest astrologer reads your own path and timing. If an astrologer offers to make someone love you, treat it as a red flag.
How much does it cost to compare my chart with my crush's chart on Kismo?
Comparing two charts on Kismo costs the astrologer's per-minute rate, from ₹15 a minute, and your first session includes 5 free minutes with no card needed. You pay from a wallet with a minimum top-up of ₹100. Only the minutes you use are charged.
