We read the general traits of each sign and decide whether they are compatible with us or not. Relationship astrology and compatibility analysis are much more than merely this. Synastry, the relationship astrology is a complete analysis of birth charts of both the natives. We will dive further into synastry, but first, we want to clear a few more relationship astrology myths.
Sun Sign Compatibility
We often tend to consider sun sign compatibility to determine relationship compatibility between us and our partners. Sun signs compatibility has a role to play, but there are other elements that matter. For example, a Scorpio and Pisces match is a pretty obvious and good one due to their sun signs. However, we keep forgetting or unaware that our Moon signs, Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are also involved in determining our compatibility with our partner. The Moon sign determines the emotional needs that we bring to a relationship. Venus determines how we relate to others, what are our values, and our aesthetic urges. Mercury is solely responsible for communication. Mars is the ruler of our sexual desires, needs, and wants. Saturn determines our growth capacity, sense of responsibility, and commitment. Meanwhile, Jupiter reflects how risk-averse we are.
There have been many successful marriages between the generally incompatible zodiac signs. Sagittarius and Pisces, Taurus and Aquarius, Leo and Scorpio, etcetera are all considered the worst matches but many such matches have been successful. Why so? It is because their birth charts matched. Their birth charts were compatible. Hence, the zodiac ruler is not solely responsible for determining who is right for us.
Synastry-The relationship Astrology
Synastry is the study of charts of two individuals separately and then together. The important planets, conjunctions, houses, and composite charts are analyzed in detail to find out what sort of a relationship two individuals will have together. Also, whether the relationship will be successful or not. Relationship astrology looks at the following:
• Needs of each individual in a romantic relationship.
• The romantic capacity of each individual to give to the relationship.
• Interaction of charts of both individuals together.
All the relationships are different. Some couples want all smoothness, love, and sweetness. While others will get bored of a relationship that is too smooth. Yet, there are some others who want challenging situations to grow together. All the people have different life path journeys together with their significant other as well as individually. The cosmos aligns to put us on the paths of our journeys. You shall analyze the charts in the following manner:
• Analyze the original Mercury, Sun, Venus, Moon, and Mars compatibility on an elemental basis.
• Analyze each persons’ chart individually to deduct their needs in a relationship:
• Study the 7th house in detail. Also, study the ruler of the 7th house and planets in it.
• Study the Venus—the house, the aspects, and the sign
• Study the Mars—the house, the aspects and the sign
• Check out the conjunctions between person A’s chart and person B’s chart.
• Look where the planets fall of person A fall in person B’s chart and vice versa, for example, where does person A’s Saturn falls in person B’s chart?
• Combine both the charts and look for composite charts.
Thus, you cannot really determine who is right for you without diving deep into synastry, the relationship astrology. You need to look at a relationship in-depth to analyze the compatibility of two individuals, attraction level, aspects, smoothness, hurdles, challenges, sexual life, and desires. You must have heard mature people say there is a lot to consider before choosing a partner for marriage. Next time, listen to their advice!
