Zodiac compatibility: how it really works

"We're incompatible by sign" is a common myth. Comparing only Sun signs ("Aries and Pisces") gives a crude picture at best. Real couple compatibility is studied through synastry — overlaying two natal charts on each other.

What synastry actually looks at

Aspects between one partner's Moon and the other's Venus/Mars — emotional and sensual closeness. Sun and Moon — the basic "recognition" of each other. Mercury — how easily you talk. Saturn — stability and commitment.

Tense aspects are not a verdict

Squares and oppositions between charts create a "spark" and attraction, but ask for awareness. Many strong couples are held together precisely by such dynamic links — they keep the relationship from getting boring.

Why the Sun sign is not enough

Two "Leos" can be completely different in intimacy: it all depends on where each one's Moon and Venus sit. That's why internet "compatibility tables by sign" barely work — they ignore 90% of the chart.
