What is synastry?
It's the astrological technique that overlays two people's natal charts and studies the angles (aspects) between one person's planets and the other's. It goes far beyond sign compatibility: two people with “incompatible” signs can have a Moon and a Venus in perfect harmony.
What does each area look at?
- Love: Venus's contacts with the other person's Sun, Moon, and rising sign.
- Passion: Mars with Venus, Mars with Mars, and Mars with Pluto.
- Emotion: the two Moons, and the Moon with the Sun.
- Communication: Mercury, the planet of communication.
- Future: Saturn, Jupiter, and the nodes, which speak to commitment and growing together.
How is the percentage calculated?
It's a symbolic index: each area starts at 50, adds points for harmonious aspects (trines, sextiles, and conjunctions) and subtracts for tense ones (squares and oppositions), more so the closer the aspect is to exact. In passion, tension counts in your favor, because it creates sparks.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need both people's birth times?
It's better, because that way the rising signs are included. If you don't know it, check “I don't know my birth time” and it will still be calculated using the planets.
Does a low percentage mean the relationship won't work?
No. It shows where there's more work to do. Many couples with tense aspects learn a lot together.
Does it work for friendships or family?
Yes. Synastry can be used with any relationship; just read the emotion and communication areas more closely.
