Why sun-sign matching falls short
Compatibility tables that declare Aries and Cancer incompatible are working with one placement out of forty. Your Moon decides what you need emotionally, your Venus how you love, your Mars what you want, and your Ascendant the chemistry someone feels in the first minute. Two people with clashing sun signs and beautifully linked Moons often build the steadier relationship.
What astrologers actually compare
- ✦Sun–Moon contacts — the classic marker of feeling genuinely understood
- ✦Venus–Mars contacts — attraction, desire, and how the spark holds over time
- ✦Moon–Moon — whether your emotional rhythms soothe or unsettle each other
- ✦Saturn contacts — the ones that make a bond durable rather than merely exciting
- ✦Ascendant contacts — the instant recognition people call chemistry
Start with your own chart
Comparing two charts means having both. Begin with yours — the full report gives you every placement a compatibility reading needs, and once your chart is saved you can add a partner.
