Compatibility and Synastry Astrology are some of the most intriguing topics in Astrology. We discover our instinctive habits and psychological traits through our own personal Natal chart, and some of us also use Astrology to see if we are compatible with our loved ones. Most of us have researched whether our Sun sign is compatible with our partners Sun sign, and some might have even gone deeper and looked into whether our other planets are compatible with our loved ones.
Astrology and Natal charts can be daunting and complicated to some, however, you don’t need to know anything about Astrology to start looking into your Natal chart, or even relationship comparisons in charts.

There is a whole map of our relationships waiting for us to be discovered. The planets move through the 12 zodiac signs at their own individual pace, meaning they are never in the same place in the sky all at once. (Unless you come across a Stellium, which is when there are more than 3 planets in one house or sign, which means they were grouped up in one place together, however, this is a rare occurrence). Depending on the planet and where is it positioned, you are able to look into its symbolism and interpret it.
These planets carry with them energies that affect us, and our energies react differently to other people’s energies! A Synastry chart is when you take two separate Natal charts of two different people and you combine them to see how the planets and signs interact with each other, thus getting an indication of how they will interact with each other in a relationship.
Aspects in the Synastry chart:
Have you ever met somebody, and instantly “clicked” with them? Almost as if you have known them forever? When we have favorable aspects with our loved one’s planets, it leads to a deeper understanding of each other that we do not experience with most other people.
Aspects are mathematical degrees that indicate where planets are in relation to each other, and it also indicates how their energies will interact with each other. There are positive aspects that lead to positive interactions, and there are negative aspects that lead to negative interactions.
Different planets represent different aspects of your personality, and when one of your planets has an aspect with one of your loved one’s planets, it is indicative of how these different aspects of your personalities interact with each other, whether it be in a positive or negative way.
It is important to have an understanding of the four elements and the planets when interpreting charts.
Although some aspects are positive and some are negative, in a Natal chart they are all there to teach us something we need to learn in this life. In a Synastry chart, it teaches us what lessons are to be gained from the relationship.
When planets are in favorable aspects, they create a mutual flow of energies and understanding between two people, and this usually results in positive interactions and happiness. This will usually mean that they have some mutual interests and see eye to eye on a lot of subjects. Conjunctions indicate a very strong connection between those two aspects of your personalities.
Favorable aspects in a Synastry chart:
Conjunctions – Two planets within 10 degrees of each other
Sextile – Two planets 60 degrees apart
Trine – Two planets 120 degrees apart
Have you ever met somebody, and instantly felt dislike towards them? You cannot see eye to eye with them, and everything they do sends an agitating feeling down your spine? In some cases, the differences between the two of you can even fascinate you. Although you might have difficult aspects to work through, it is possible to come to some form of agreement.
Planets in challenging aspects lead to more arguments and disagreements. An abundance of these aspects will indicate a challenging relationship. It is more difficult to find resolve, and it could lead to unpleasant situations. These aspects indicate major differences between two people.
