It gathers them into an overall score and 4 separate scores by topic.

40 aspects between the two charts.

Each aspect carries points by its kind and its strength, and 50 % is the balance between support and tension. How it is computed

Occasions

The argument that keeps coming back

  • “We are having the same argument for the third time this month”

    Tensions and differences

    Which exact aspect between the two charts sits behind the recurring argument, and what to do with it.

  • “I cannot tell if we are incompatible or if this is fixable”

    The scores at the top of the reading

    Love, communication, passion and longevity are scored separately, so you see exactly where it is hard and where there is no problem.

  • “He is a Leo, which tells me nothing”

    All calculated contacts

    A sign splits people into twelve groups. Here the two full charts are compared by date, time and place.

The sections

What the reading for two contains

The reading has 9 sections, listed in the order you read them.

Above the sections, at the top of the reading, are the wheel with both charts and the scores by topic. The inner ring is one of you, the outer ring the other, and the lines join the planets that influence each other. The scores are an overall number and four by topic. A higher number means more supporting contacts; it is not a chance of success.

For a couple, for friends or for colleagues

When you order, you choose the kind of relationship, and three of the sections change their topic.

Passage · Long-term relationship, love reading

Maria's Saturn square Ivan's Moon 1.46°

Maria's Saturn is in a square with Ivan's Moon. A contact like this often holds a relationship together: it starts heavier, but the sense of responsibility stays when the first infatuation fades. The cost is that Ivan will sometimes feel Maria as a demand where he looks for comfort. It helps when she says out loud what she expects, instead of keeping a silent note of it.

A sample passage, written for the example couple. Your text is built from your own two charts, so it says different things.

What people wrote to us about synastry

People who wrote to us directly. The words are theirs, translated from Bulgarian; we confirmed on 27 August 2026 that they are real.

  • My girlfriend and I ran our compatibility out of curiosity. I expected cheesy 'perfect match' clichés, but it pinpointed exact details—where our communication stumbles and what we clash over most often. It gave us plenty of good stuff to talk through.

Three steps

From the two birth dates to the scores

  1. You enter the birth details

    For you: the date, time and place of birth. If you do not know the time, you tick that and the chart is calculated for 12:00. For the other person the name, date and place are enough. If you already have a chart with us, pick it from the list.

  2. The two charts get calculated

    The aspects and the scores follow the rules described below. After you pay, the reading is usually ready within 5 minutes.

  3. It stays in your profile

    A link arrives by email too. You open it from any device, whenever you want.

You pay on a secure payment page.

The rules

How synastry is read

We compare both charts and find which planets touch: every point of one chart against every point of the other. The points and the angles that count:

13 points of each chart

  • Sun
  • Moon
  • Mercury
  • Venus
  • Mars
  • Jupiter
  • Saturn
  • Uranus
  • Neptune
  • Pluto
  • Chiron
  • Lilith
  • North Node
The aspects the reading counts. The orb is how far from the exact angle an aspect still counts. The colours are those of the wheel above.
AspectAngleOrbNature
Conjunction0°up to 8°neutral
Opposition180°up to 8°tense
Trine120°up to 8°harmonious
Square90°up to 7°tense
Sextile60°up to 6°harmonious
  • The closer the angle is to the exact one, the stronger the aspect. The strong lines of the wheel are the more solid ones.
  • Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and Chiron against the same points of the other chart are not counted. They move slowly, and for people of about the same age they stand almost in one place.
  • The Ascendant and the houses are not part of the aspects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is synastry?

Synastry is a technique in astrology that compares two natal charts to reveal the dynamics of the relationship between two people. Through analysis of the aspects between the planets in both charts, synastry reveals the strengths and weaknesses of the relationship, areas of harmony and challenges.

What exactly do I get in the report?

The aspects between both charts: which planets touch and what each one sets off; a score across four dimensions (love, communication, passion, longevity) with the reasoning behind it; the places where you diverge; and concrete advice on what to do about them.

Do I need the exact time of birth?

The exact time helps: it pins the Moon and the houses. If you do not know it, tick the box. The chart is then calculated for 12:00 noon, local time at the place of birth, with all the houses and the Ascendant. The Moon moves about half a degree an hour and the orb of a conjunction is 8°, so the aspects with the Moon follow the time the chart is calculated for.

Can I do synastry with a friend or a colleague?

Yes. The reading is ordered for a love, friendship or business relationship. The calculation is the same, and three of the sections differ for each kind: “Love and closeness” becomes “Emotional closeness” for friends and “Values and working style” for colleagues. From the other person you only need the name, the date, the place and, if possible, the time of birth.

Do I need ready-made natal charts?

Not at all. Enter the data in the form and the charts are calculated for you. For you that is the date, time and place of birth; for the other person, the name, date and place are enough, and the time if they know it. If you already created a chart with us, pick it from the list.

Does synastry predict whether the relationship will last?

Synastry describes how the two of you influence each other and where there is friction, without predicting an end or a future. What you do with it is up to the two of you.
