- SYNASTRY
(Astrological
Relationship Analysis)
- Synastry,
or the
practice of comparing the horoscope of two individuals, is an age-old
craft which remains one of the most popular uses of astrology. Most
books on synastry focus on the aspects formed between the Sun, the
Moon, and the planets in one chart to the other. The synastry charts of
any two individuals can be compared; business partners, parent/child,
friends, enemies or whatever. Our purpose here, however, will be
limited to the comparison of partners in a romantic or potentially
romantic relationship. The synastry of love relationships.

are the
astrology factors often considered in a synastry reading:

- The Ascendant
and the Descendant
- The
rising sign or
ascendant in your horoscope tells much about your personality. This is
the factor of the horoscope which speaks to how you will deal with the
outside world. And your relationships are a most important
part of that outside world. The ascendant degree on cusp of your first
house begins the series of twelve houses and determines, to a large
extent, the sign that will be on the cusp of each of the eleven
remaining houses. The ideal match for you is the personality type
denoted by the sign on the cusp of the descendant. The descendant in
the horoscope is the sign opposite the ascendant. This sign rules the
7th house. The seventh house is the field of relationships and
therefore it is the area of primary focus in a study of synastry. This
house, opposite the first (matters of the self), relates to the other
people with whom you enter close association. Indeed, the sign on the
cusp of the 7th house is the personality type with whom you are most
comfortable and best suited. This idea of opposites attracting is a
very valid concept in astrology. A person whose chart is the
mirror image of yours, has the natural tendency of dovetailing the
alliance by filling needs to form a solid unit.

- Sun Signs
- Astrologers
are
frequently asked "Which Sun sign is best for me?" The short
answer is, there is no short answer. There are too many other
variables to consider to charge off looking strictly for someone born
while the Sun was in this sign or that. Sun sign compatibility ranks
low on my list of factors to focus on when seriously studying synastry.
The Sun is about ego and individuality. It is important because it
discloses those inborn traits that are not likely to change very much
in an individual. No matter what our personality is like, these inborn
traits are going to be there and be very apparent. Nonetheless, the Sun
sign, which is often the only focus in relationships, is just a bit
part in a complete analysis.
- This
said, the oft
given advise about Sun signs will be repeated here. The Sun
signs fall into four groupings according the elements. Aries, Leo and
Sagittarius are the fire signs; Taurus, Virgo and
Capricorn are the earth signs; Gemini, Libra and
Aquarius are the air signs; and, Cancer, Scorpio
and Pisces are the water signs. There is tendency
toward affinity within the elements. Each sign gets on
somewhat better with other signs in its element. Further, the air and
fire groups share more compatibility with one another, as do the earth
and water Suns.
-
- The
predominate element matches
- The
elements are
indeed important when evaluating a potential relationship. But the Sun
sign is only one indicator of which element will be strongest in an
individual. Each of the planets is in one or another of the signs, and
often the planets out weigh the Sun in importance. By this I
mean if the Sun is in a water sign, but most of the other planets are
in fire signs, you may actually be more of a fire sign person.
If you haven't read about elements yet, you may wish to visit
that page now to get up to speed. Note
that information
is provided at the Four Elements page for determining an individual's
primary element. The Sun is an important indicator of the element that
will be strongest in an individual, but it is not the absolute
indicator. You will find significant compatibility with
persons having a predominance in the same element as yourself. If your
partner is not of the same element as yourself, you must become
familiar and tolerant of the differences that should be expected.
-
- The Moon's
important role
- The
Moon has a lot
to do with relationships because this luminary denotes the state of
emotions and conditioned responses. If the Moon in one chart is square
or opposed to the Moon in the partner's chart, chances are there have
been some conflicting ideas existing based on backgrounds and previous
experiences. A Moon in conjunction with the Sun of the partner is a
very good sign in that the Moon person has a wonderful emotional
connection with the ego of partner. A favorable Sun/Moon aspect, that
is a conjunction, sextile, or trine, can largely smooth out a
relationship. Indeed, the relationship between the Sun in the
male's chart and the Moon in the female's chart may be even more
important than the Sun to Sun relationship.
-
- Mars and Venus
- Mars
and Venus
play major roles in romance and in the mating process. Mars
relates to your romantic desires; lust, if you will. It determines how
sexually aggressive you are, and the raw passion, or lack of it, in
your nature. Thus, Mars takes on the role of pursuit. This is why the
symbol of Mars is also the symbol for the male. Venus, on the other
hand, relates to the way in which you attract a mate. It represents the
softer side of love; romance and emotional response to love. This role
of attracting a mate links the sign of Venus with the female. The
interaction of the two say a great deal about the chemistry between two
people. They are often responsible for the sense of "love at first
sight" and what would be called a very strong sexual attraction.
Regrettably, love at first sight and a very strong sexual
attraction doesn't necessarily make a long and durable relationship.
Other factors will be more instrumental in determining this.
Nonetheless, a good fit between Mars and Venus adds a wonderful
dimension to your relationship. The most auspicious fit here between
the partners would be for Mars and Venus to be in the same sign or in
the same element. The attachment is much stronger if the planets form a
conjunction or trine aspect.

- The aspects
- The
aspects formed
between the Sun, the Moon, and the planets in one chart and the Sun,
the Moon, and the planets in the partner's (or potential partner's)
chart show the detail of how smoothly this relationship will work. Note
that virtually every comparison will present some harmonious and some
not so harmonious aspects. Don't expect anything else. Very
seldom does the "perfect" match occur. By the same token, if
nothing but negative aspects appear, the relationship is apt to be a
major struggle. Visit synastry
aspects for
delineations of the major synastry aspects.
