Question 1

What happens if our Sun signs are completely incompatible?

Accepted Answer

Sun sign incompatibility is highly common and rarely a reason to terminate a relationship. The Sun represents only your core ego and outward identity. If your Sun signs clash (for example, a square between Aries and Cancer), you will likely have different approaches to life goals and self-expression. However, relationship longevity is dictated by the Moon, Venus, and Saturn. If those planets are in harmonious aspects, the relationship will thrive, and the Sun sign clash will merely manifest as a healthy, minor difference in personal hobbies or career drives.

Question 2

Why does my compatibility chart look different on different websites?

Accepted Answer

Variations in compatibility charts usually stem from differences in the "House System" or the "Orb limits" programmed into the site's algorithm. There are dozens of mathematical ways to divide the sky into 12 houses (Placidus, Whole Sign, and Campanus being the most common). If Website A uses Placidus and Website B uses Whole Sign, your planets may shift into different houses. Additionally, if Website A allows a 10-degree orb for a trine and Website B strictly enforces a 5-degree orb, one site will tell you an aspect exists while the other will not. Always check the settings of the calculator you are using.

Question 3

Can a bad synastry chart mean a relationship is doomed?

Accepted Answer

No astrological chart can doom a relationship, because astrology operates on the principle of free will and conscious awareness. A "bad" synastry chart simply indicates a high volume of frictional aspects (squares and oppositions). This means the relationship will require constant, conscious effort, compromise, and excellent communication to survive. Many highly successful, long-term marriages have difficult synastry charts because the friction forces both partners to grow, adapt, and evolve, whereas "perfect" charts can sometimes lead to lazy, uninspired partnerships.

Question 4

What is the most important planet for romantic compatibility?

Accepted Answer

While Venus is universally known as the planet of love and dictates initial physical attraction and romantic style, the Moon is actually the most critical planet for long-term romantic compatibility. The Moon rules the subconscious, emotional regulation, and domestic habits. You can have incredible Venus chemistry, but if your Moon signs are incompatible, you will not feel safe, understood, or comforted by your partner during times of stress, which inevitably leads to the breakdown of the relationship.

Question 5

How accurate is birth time, and what if I am off by 10 minutes?

Accepted Answer

An error of 10 minutes in a birth time can be highly significant depending on the specific planetary alignments on that day. The Ascendant (Rising Sign) moves one degree every four minutes. Therefore, a 10-minute error shifts the entire chart by 2.5 degrees. If a planet is sitting right on the cusp of a house, that 10-minute shift will push it into an entirely different house, radically altering the interpretation of where that energy manifests in the relationship. Always strive to obtain the exact time from a birth certificate.

Question 6

Is it better to date someone with the same zodiac sign as me?

Accepted Answer

Dating someone with the same Sun sign (a same-sign conjunction) provides immediate comfort and mutual understanding because you share the same foundational approach to life. However, it also magnifies the negative traits of that sign. For example, two Geminis will have spectacular conversations but may struggle to commit or ground the relationship in reality. Two Scorpios will share immense emotional depth but risk entering a toxic spiral of mutual paranoia and possessiveness. A same-sign relationship requires both individuals to be highly self-aware of their own flaws.
