As Seen On
"After 5 years of dating disasters, I discovered my Venus shadow was attracting emotionally unavailable men. Within 3 months of healing this pattern, I met someone completely different - available, loving, committed. We're now engaged! I never thought this would happen for me at 37."
- Emma K., 39
"We were roommates for 3 years, no intimacy, barely talking. I was ready to divorce. Your guide revealed our composite chart blockages and my 7th house karma. We did the exercises together and it's like we're newlyweds again. Last night he said 'I finally see you again.' I'm sobbing as I write this."
- Rachel T., 35
"My ex-husband's affair destroyed me. I thought I'd never trust again. Your Chiron wound work showed me why I attracted betrayal. After doing the Phoenix healing protocol, I met someone who honors and cherishes me. At 44, I'm experiencing real love for the first time. It was worth the wait!"
- Diana M., 41
"I had a pattern of attracting narcissistic partners who drained me. Your guide showed my Pluto-Venus aspect and why I magnetized these types. After the magnetic reversal work, I started attracting completely different men - kind, emotionally available, genuine. Just celebrated 6 months with someone who actually sees ME!"
- Jessica W., 29
"I've been single for years. I attract unavailable partners, get ghosted, or feel invisible to the good ones. I'm starting to wonder if there's something fundamentally wrong with me."
→ Your magnetic field is repelling available love while attracting what's wrong for you.
"I'm in a relationship but feel like roommates. No intimacy, no passion, no real connection. We're just going through the motions. I don't know if this can be saved or if I should leave."
→ Your magnetic reversal is creating distance instead of intimacy with your partner.
"I've been betrayed, cheated on, or went through a devastating breakup/divorce. I want to love again but I'm terrified of repeating the same painful pattern."
→ Your wounds have created a protective shield that's blocking new love from entering.
No matter which path you're on, the answer is the same:
You have a magnetic reversal pattern in your birth chart that's blocking real love.
Once you decode it and flip your magnetism back, everything changes.
— Sarah Mitchell, Former Serial Dater Turned Happily Partnered Woman
From the desk of Sonya Schwartz
Dear Beautiful,
If you're reading this, chances are you've asked yourself one of these painful questions:
"Why can't I find someone who TRULY SEES ME?"
"Why does my partner feel like a STRANGER?"
"Why do I keep attracting the SAME PAINFUL PATTERNS?"
You're not alone.
In fact, you're part of a heartbreaking epidemic.
83% of sensitive, intuitive women report feeling "unloved" or "unseen" in relationships—whether single or partnered.
The gap between the love you crave and the love you receive isn't about your worth—
It's about a magnetic reversal pattern written in your stars.
And here's what's heartbreaking: every single one of these women is literally repelling the love they desperately want while magnetizing exactly what they don't want. When I discovered why, everything suddenly made sense.
Maybe you recognize yourself here:
• You've tried dating apps
(swiped through thousands)
• You've done the inner work
(therapy, healing, self-love)
• You've lowered your standards
(still didn't work)
• You've raised your standards
(now you're alone)
And yet...
love still feels impossibly hard.
You might be surrounded by people but feel completely alone.
You might be in a relationship but feel like you're single.
You might be the friend everyone comes to for relationship advice, yet you can't seem to get your own love life right.
Let me paint you a picture of what the next 5 years look like if nothing changes:
Year 1:
Another year of empty beds or empty marriages.
You watch friends get engaged, have babies, renew vows while you're still stuck in the same pattern.
Year 2:
The loneliness becomes physical pain.
You stop believing love is possible for you.
You either settle for crumbs or close your heart completely.
Year 3:
You've tried everything—apps, therapy, manifestation, giving up.
Nothing works because you haven't addressed the root pattern.
Year 4:
Your body starts shutting down from lack of touch and connection.
The depression deepens.
You wonder if you're fundamentally unlovable.
Year 5:
You've given up hope.
Accepted that some people just don't get love.
But deep down, a part of you is dying from the loneliness.
The cost of staying loveless isn't just emotional—
it's your entire life passing by unlived.
But what if I told you there's a specific reason why this keeps happening?
Here's what makes this so maddening:
The very qualities that make you amazing
are the same ones repelling authentic love.
Your depth scares away surface-level people (but attracts narcissists).
Your sensitivity makes you give too much too fast.
Your intuition picks up red flags but your wounds override them.
You've been told to "love yourself first."
That you need to "stop being desperate" or "work on yourself more."
But deep down, you know it's more complicated than that.
Because every time someone good shows up,
something invisible makes you push them away.
• Anxiety when someone genuinely likes you
• Finding flaws in perfectly good partners
• Feeling "trapped" when someone wants commitment
• Sabotaging connection right when it gets real
Sound familiar?
PAUSE for a moment:
Can you feel your body's response right now as you read this?
That flutter when I mention "soul-level love"?
That ache in your chest when you imagine being truly seen and held?
That's your love magnetism trying to activate.
Your body is literally showing you where the reversal pattern lives.
And here's what's crucial: that physical response? It's actually telling you which of the three love blocks affects you most. Your body already knows what needs healing—we just need to decode the message.
My name is Sonya Schwartz, and 8 years ago, I was exactly where you are now.
Successful career. Great friends. Nice apartment.
And completely, devastatingly alone.
I'd been single for 3 years after a series of relationships with emotionally unavailable men.
I was the friend everyone came to for relationship advice.
Yet I couldn't seem to attract anyone who could actually love me back.
The breaking point came at my best friend's wedding.
Watching her look at her husband with such love, I excused myself to the bathroom.
And completely broke down.
I was 32. Successful. Kind. Attractive enough.
Why couldn't I find what everyone else seemed to find so easily?
I'd done therapy. Read all the books. Tried online dating.
Yet I kept attracting the same type: charming but commitment-phobic.
That night, desperate for answers, I pulled my birth chart for the first time in years.
What I saw made me gasp.
There it was:
a specific pattern showing my love magnetism was literally reversed.
I wasn't attracting unavailable men by accident. My Venus shadow was broadcasting a frequency that repelled available love while magnetizing exactly what would hurt me.
My Venus in Scorpio shadow was attracting intensity without intimacy.
My 7th house Saturn made me unconsciously push away commitment.
My Chiron in the 5th house had me terrified of being truly seen in love.
For the first time, I understood:
This wasn't about being unlovable. It was about having reversed magnetism.
Within 6 months of healing this pattern, I met David. We've been together 7 years, married for 5. He sees me, cherishes me, chooses me every single day.
That was the beginning of my journey.
Since then, I've analyzed over 7,000 charts and discovered that 83% of sensitive women have this magnetic reversal pattern.
Now I know exactly why traditional relationship advice fails us—and what actually works to flip your magnetism back.
What if I told you that your love struggles aren't about your worth?
But a specific magnetic reversal pattern that shows up in 83% of sensitive women's charts?
What if the same cosmic blueprint that makes you deeply feeling, intuitively gifted, and capable of profound love...
...is also creating an energetic repulsion field that pushes away the very love you crave?
And what if—in just 45 days—you could reverse this pattern and become magnetic to the soul-level love you deserve?
I'm Sonya Schwartz,
and I've helped over 285,000 women decode their love patterns.
Through analyzing thousands of charts, I discovered something that changes everything:
You have THREE specific love blocks in your chart
creating a magnetic reversal pattern.
Once you identify them, you can flip your magnetism back.

But I needed to know — was this just a fluke?
Would this pattern work for other ambitious women stuck in the same trap I was?
That's when Sarah came to me,
after 47 failed first dates.
When Lauren reached out, she was ready to give up on love entirely.
Beautiful. Successful. 36 years old.
She'd been on 47 first dates in the past year through apps.
She was funny, intelligent, had her life together, great career.
Everyone said she was "such a catch."
Yet she kept attracting men who would ghost after 2-3 dates.
"I feel like I'm repelling love,"
she told me through tears.
"The good ones run. The toxic ones stay.
What's wrong with me?"
When I analyzed her chart, the pattern was shocking:
• Venus square Neptune
= attracting illusions and players
• Saturn in her 7th house
= unconsciously pushing away commitment
• Chiron in the 5th
= wounded around being chosen for who she really is
But here's what blew her mind: Her magnetic field was literally reversed. She was broadcasting "please leave" while desperately wanting someone to stay.
"Lauren," I told her, "you're not unlovable or broken."
"Your love magnetism is just reversed.
We can flip it back."
For the first time in years, Lauren had hope.
Not false hope from another dating strategy, but real understanding.
The Transformation Was Profound:
Within 3 weeks of starting the magnetic reversal work, she noticed men responding differently—staying engaged, asking her out for real dates, not ghosting.
At week 8, she met Michael at a friend's dinner party.
He was different. Available. Consistent. He saw her—really saw her.
6 months later? They were engaged.
"I spent years thinking I was too much or not enough.
Your method showed me I was just magnetically reversed.
Once I flipped it back, love stopped feeling impossible
and started feeling inevitable."
Through analyzing 7,000+ charts of women struggling in love, I discovered the same three blocks appear over and over:
These blocks aren't random. They're not character flaws. And they're definitely not because you're "too picky" or "not lovable enough."
In fact, the harder you try to find love, the more you repel it. That's because...
Your magnetic reversal follows a predictable 3-part pattern:
Venus reveals how you're meant to magnetize love—
But wounds create a "shadow frequency" that attracts the opposite.
Example:
Venus in Pisces shadow might attract emotionally unavailable partners who need "saving" but never commit.
Your 7th house reveals the lessons you're here to learn through partnership—
And the patterns you'll repeat until you heal them.
Example:
Saturn in the 7th house creates delays in love but ultimately leads to lasting partnership once the lesson is learned.
Chiron reveals where you feel fundamentally unlovable or broken...
Creating a wound so deep you unconsciously sabotage love when it gets close.
Example:
Strong 2nd house with weak 8th might make you refuse help even when drowning.
Here's the breakthrough:
When all three parts are misaligned, you get stuck in what I call the "Capable but Broke" paradox.
You have the skills.
You have the drive.
You might even have "good" astrological placements.
But your nervous system has learned that
receiving love = danger.
Sophia T., 33, Therapist (Portland, OR)
Background: Successful career, great friends, but chronically single at 33
Problem: Kept attracting emotionally unavailable men who needed "fixing." Every relationship ended the same way.
Chart Pattern: Venus in Virgo (over-giving to prove worth) + Neptune square Venus (savior complex in love)
Result: Met her fiancé 3 months after reversing her pattern. He's emotionally available, committed, and doesn't need fixing.
"I spent $15,000 on therapy over 5 years. This $39 guide showed me what therapy couldn't."
Isabella C., 38, Marketing Director (Chicago, IL)
Background: Married 12 years, two kids, felt like roommates
Problem: No intimacy for 2 years. Considered divorce but scared to break up the family. Felt invisible to husband.
Chart Pattern: Saturn in 7th house (walls in partnership) + Chiron in 8th house (intimacy wounds)
Result: After 6 weeks of the magnetic reversal work, husband said "It's like you're glowing again." Intimacy naturally returned. Marriage stronger than ever.
Amara J., 40, Divorced Mom (Austin, TX)
Background: Discovered husband's 3-year affair, divorced at 38 with two kids
Problem: Completely shut down. Couldn't imagine trusting anyone again. Terrified of repeating the pattern.
Chart Pattern: Pluto conjunct Venus (intense transformation through love) + Chiron in 7th (betrayal wound)
Result: Did the Phoenix Rising protocol. Met someone genuine at 40. Now in the healthiest relationship of her life.
"My kids now see their mom loved and cherished, not broken and bitter. That alone was worth everything."
Each woman had a different chart, different circumstances, different blocks.
But every single one found her turning point when shesaw her patterns clearly.

You've probably noticed something frustrating...
The same advice that works for your emotionally detached friends leaves you feeling even more broken.
They can date casually without getting attached.
You fall deep and get devastated every time.
Here's what nobody tells you:
Traditional relationship advice was designed by and for people with detached Venus placements and independent Moon positions.
It assumes you have the same emotional wiring as someone who can "play it cool" and doesn't feel everything so deeply.
But what if you're wired differently?
The standard advice everyone parrots:
• "Just love yourself first!" (But your Venus in Scorpio needs deep merger to feel alive)
• "Stop being so picky!" (But your Saturn in 7th knows settling leads to misery)
• "Play hard to get!" (But your Moon in Cancer needs emotional authenticity)
• "Put yourself out there!" (But your 12th house Venus needs soul connection, not surface dating)
Every time you force yourself to follow advice that contradicts your chart...
Your nervous system goes into revolt. Your energy contracts. The love that was flowing toward you suddenly feels repelled. It's not woo-woo—it's energetic physics.
Think about it: Have you ever noticed that love seems to find you when you're NOT desperately searching? When you're in your natural flow, being yourself, not forcing someone else's dating strategy?
That's because authentic love flows through your unique magnetic channels—not through manipulation tactics.
Astrology reveals your specific love magnetism with surgical precision.
The Virgo Venus Pattern: If you have Venus in Virgo, casual dating literally makes you anxious. Your soul needs to build love slowly through acts of service. But nobody told you that, so you've been trying to date like an Aries and wondering why it always fails.
The 12th House Hideaway: If you have Venus in the 12th house, being vulnerable in love triggers ancient soul memories of loss. You attract unavailable partners as protection. Generic "put yourself out there" advice makes you retreat further.
The Saturn Squeeze: If you have Venus square Saturn, you've been programmed since birth to believe love must be earned through suffering. Every time someone loves you "too easily," your psyche screams "DANGER!" You must heal this specific wound first.
The Neptune Dissolution: If you have Venus conjunct Neptune, your boundaries dissolve when you fall in love. You literally lose yourself in relationships until you learn YOUR specific grounding practices.
And these are just 4 of the 27 major love-blocking patterns I've documented in over 7,000 charts.
Here's the heartbreaking truth:
Every time you try to override your natural wiring with generic dating advice, you create more resistance.
More rejection.
More proof that "love isn't for you."
It's like trying to run sophisticated software on incompatible hardware.
The strategy might work for others, but if it's not designed for your energetic system, it backfires every time.
Forcing the wrong approach doesn't just fail—
it actively repels authentic love.
But when you finally discover your unique love magnetism blueprint?
When you stop fighting your nature and start working WITH your cosmic design?
That's when everything changes.
That's when the desperate searching transforms into magnetic attraction.
That's when love stops feeling impossible and starts feeling inevitable.
So if forcing generic advice actually repels love...
And your birth chart holds the key to your unique magnetic pattern...
What would happen if you finally had a love roadmap designed specifically for YOUR energetic wiring?
What if you could stop guessing why love feels impossible and start knowing exactly which patterns to heal, which walls to release, and which energy to embody?
What if there was a way to decode your personal magnetic reversal pattern and flip it back to attract authentic love?
There is.
This comprehensive guide reveals the three core chart placements creating your magnetic reversal in love—the same pattern I've decoded in over 7,000 personal readings.
Here's What You'll Discover Inside:
But that's not all...
Deep dive exercises for your Venus placement, 7th house patterns, and relationship karma. Identify your love blocks, understand your attachment style, and discover your unique path to lasting love.
Build a thriving, secure relationship using proven connection techniques. Transform anxious or avoidant patterns into secure attachment. Create lasting intimacy based on trust, respect, and genuine connection.
Powerful guided meditation to activate your love frequency and boost self-love. Release old relationship wounds, open your heart chakra, and align with the vibration of magnetic attraction.
"This sounds amazing, Sonya, but how much is this going to cost me?"

So I made a decision that my business coach thought was crazy...
Instead of charging what this is truly worth...
Instead of limiting this to my high-end clients...
Instead of keeping this transformation out of reach...

I get it. You've probably tried therapy, dating apps, matchmakers, manifestation, self-love practices, and relationship coaches.
Here's why this is different:
Most relationship advice treats symptoms. This addresses the magnetic reversal written in your stars.
Most dating strategies use manipulation tactics. This aligns you with authentic magnetism.
Most approaches ignore your sensitive nature. This works WITH your depth, not against it.
And here's what this is NOT:
• Another generic "love yourself first" program
• Complicated charts you need years to understand
• Spiritual bypassing without practical action
• Promises of "manifest your soulmate in 24 hours"
• Shame or judgment about being single or struggling
This is precise, practical, and personalized.
"I don't have time for another complicated system..."
This isn't about becoming an astrologer. In 15 minutes, you'll identify your exact pattern from a simple chart lookup. The transformation happens through understanding, not complexity. Most women see their pattern clearly within the first hour.
"I'm not sure I believe in astrology..."
Even if you're skeptical, think of your birth chart as a personality assessment based on cosmic timing. The psychological patterns are real—and they're blocking your love whether you "believe" or not. You don't need faith in astrology; you need awareness of your patterns.
"What if I don't know my exact birth time?"
Don't worry. 80% of the love block patterns are visible even with approximate timing. If you know the date and general time of day, that's enough to identify your magnetic reversal. We include a "birth time unknown" worksheet for this exact situation.
"How is this different from therapy or self-love work I've already tried?"
Therapy and self-love work assume everyone attracts love the same way. This system reveals WHY you specifically magnetize unavailable partners or push away good ones. Instead of generic advice, you'll get your personalized magnetic reversal protocol based on your unique birth chart.
"What if I've already spent thousands on dating coaches and matchmakers?"
That's exactly why this works. You're not unlovable—you were just magnetically reversed. Every "failed" relationship has been gathering data about your pattern. Now you get to flip your magnetism and attract from wholeness, not wounds.
Path 1:
Keep doing what you've been doing. Keep swiping on apps. Keep hoping someone will finally choose you. Keep feeling frustrated that everyone else finds love so easily. Keep wondering why you're the exception to every love story.
Six months from now, you'll still be in the same place, asking the same questions, carrying the same invisible chains.
Path 2:
Invest $29.97 and 45 days to decode the exact pattern that's been blocking your love. Follow your personalized roadmap. Reverse your magnetic field. Join the 83% of women who report feeling completely different about love within 45 days.
Six months from now, you could be in the relationship you've always craved. You could feel loved, seen, and cherished. You could be living proof that soul-level love is real.
Imagine your daughter (or the young woman you once were) watching you in a loving, healthy relationship. What kind of love do you want her to believe is possible?

Absolutely. The Natal Love Code isn't just for singles. If you're in a relationship that feels empty, distant, or stuck, understanding your magnetic reversal pattern can help you either revive the connection or gain clarity on whether it's time to release with love. Many coupled women have saved their marriages using these techniques.
Yes. In fact, the Phoenix Rising protocol is specifically designed for women healing from heartbreak, betrayal, or divorce. You'll learn why you attracted that painful experience (it's not your fault—it's a pattern) and how to heal it so you don't repeat it. Many women find love again after doing this work, often better than before.
It's never too late. I've seen women find their soulmates at 35, 45, 55, and beyond. Your birth chart doesn't have an expiration date. In fact, many women find that once they understand their pattern, love comes quickly—often within 3-6 months of doing this work. The key is flipping your magnetism back to attract instead of repel.
Perfect! The Natal Love Code is designed for complete beginners. You don't need any prior astrology knowledge. I'll walk you through everything step-by-step, and you'll only learn what's relevant to transforming your love life. No confusing jargon or overwhelming charts—just clear, practical guidance.
Therapy helps you understand your wounds. The Natal Love Code shows you the PURPOSE of those wounds and exactly how to heal them. While generic relationship advice tells everyone the same thing, this method is completely personalized to YOUR unique birth chart. It's the difference between a Band-Aid and actual healing.
Most women notice internal shifts within the first 2 weeks—less desperation, more clarity, feeling different energetically. By week 6, you'll typically see external changes: different types of people approaching you, old patterns feeling uncomfortable, new opportunities appearing. Full magnetic reversal usually completes within 45 days, though love arrives in divine timing.
I'm so confident this will transform your love life that I offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If you don't experience a significant shift in how you feel about love and relationships within 30 days, simply email me for a full refund. No questions asked. But honestly? In 7 years of teaching this method, less than 2% of women have asked for refunds.
45 days is for understanding your pattern and beginning the magnetic reversal—not for manifesting a wedding ring! Think of it as finally getting the RIGHT map after years of being lost. Once you have the map, the journey becomes clear. Some women meet their person within weeks, others take months, but ALL report feeling completely different about love after 45 days.
Two years ago, I received a message from a client named Natalie:
"Sonya, I just wanted you to know... I'm engaged. To the most wonderful man. At 42, I thought it was too late for me. But more than that, I finally feel worthy of being loved. For the first time in my life, I'm not sabotaging. My daughter sees me glowing with happiness. She sees what healthy love looks like. Thank you for showing me that I wasn't unlovable—just magnetically reversed."
This could be your story.
Your heart is not meant to be empty.
Your love is not meant to be unrequited.
Your soulmate is not meant to wait.
The only question is: Are you ready to magnetize the love that's looking for you?
With love,
Sonya Schwartz
This offer is for sensitive, intuitive women who are ready to stop repelling love and start magnetizing it. If you're looking for manipulation tactics or generic dating advice, this isn't for you. But if you're ready to understand the magnetic reversal pattern blocking your love and reverse it to attract soul-level partnership... your new love story starts today.
