How Astrology Compatibility Works

Let’s get the elephant out of the room and discuss what it is not. Contrary to what you’ll see on most media websites, true astrology compatibility does not involve the matching of zodiac signs. That is, while it is true that say, Aries and Leos are indeed compatible zodiac signs, relying solely on zodiac signs to determine the success of a relationship is too simplistic an idea to be of any genuine value.

A real check of compatibility between two individuals involves a comparison of:

1. The relevant houses of their respective natal charts.
2. Their Moon signs.
3. Their name signs. That is, the zodiac sign associated with a person’s name. We all have one and this is where you can find yours.
4. Present and future planetary periods.
5. A match of eight characteristics, derived essentially from the Moon signs. This results in a score of a scale of 0 to 36 known as a, ‘Askùt Gùn Milán’.

This type of comparison is often referred to as, ‘Horoscope Matching’ and is a common practiced in India, before a marriage is entered into.

It is apparent that this manner of matching of astrological data is quite comprehensive and requires the complete birth data of both parties. A complete illustration of this can be found on our ‘Astrology Compatibility Report’ page.

Such a comparison is so comprehensive that it can in fact, be used to assess the viability of almost any type of relationship. That is, this need not be just of a romantic nature, but could even be a partnership that involves a professional alliance.

How is Horoscope Matching Performed?

The horoscope matching process involves comparing the planetary rulerships, placements and aspects of the following characteristics of two horoscopes:

• The 1^st House

The 1^st house is also known as the ascendant’s house and this governs our thoughts and basic nature. This shows how similar the thought processes of two people might be. The planets that rule and occupy this house go a long way in determining character traits, such as if a person is predisposed to philandering or a coquettish nature.

• The 7^th House.

This specifically relates to a person’s spouse, marriage and long term relationships.

• The ‘Nàvámsh’ Chart

The ‘Nàvámsh’ chart is a division of the main birth chart and represents matters that specifically relate to marriage and long term relationships.

• The 2^nd House.

This is regarded as the house that represents a person’s household, domestic life/bliss and family environment.

• The ‘Askùt Gùn Milán’

This is a comparison of eight, Moon sign derived characteristics. Each factor governs a different area of life ranging from intellectual compatibility to progeny bearing prospects and has an independent score, starting from zero. The sum of all characteristics totals thirty-six. Of these eight characteristics, having Moon signs with a close affinity is thought to be the most important factor. That is, if both individuals have Moon signs with a low or opposite affinity, an astrologer may not recommend a union. However, if the sum of the remaining characteristics are favourable, this can be a mitigating factor.

• Zodiac Signs

These are also taken into consideration, but the sign considered are the respective Moon signs and name derived zodiacs of both partners. Our Moon signs determine our emotional instincts and are therefore important in such an analysis. Both sets of zodiac signs are divided into two different groups. Signs of the same group are responsible for similar likes and dislikes and vice-versa.

• Planetary Periods

Assessing the respective major and minor planetary periods that both partners are and will pass through, helps determine if the conflicting points of their horoscopes could threaten the relationship.

How Accurate is an Astrology Compatibility Report?

As mentioned, many weddings in India are not solemnised until the horoscopes of both partners are found to match. This process is in essence the method described above. In the Indian context however, the findings of this type of horoscope matching process are not presented in a formal manner. The concerned astrologer will simply declare his assessment of whether a matrimonial union is advisable or not. This type of analysis has not only been found to work, but is extensively relied upon.

A more formal report, such as one performed online should present all findings in a systematically tabulated form. In so doing, it will be possible to easily verify and correlate all of the factors described above. This allows for a clear understanding of the rationale for the final conclusion, describing the success of a partnership between two persons.

As an astrology compatibility report is a detailed analysis of many different factors, it is the most reliable way to astrologically assess the viability of a relationship. Although presently no formal data that can testify this accuracy exists, at PowerFortunes we have found that over the years, practically all users of such services appear to be satisfied with the results.

Other types of Astrological Love Analysis

There are many instances when a simple, less comprehensive test of two person’s astrological compatibility is desirable. The following tests that do not require the individuals’ exact birth data are:

1. A Love Compatibility Test: This is a comparison of the various zodiac signs that make up two people’s astrological profile.
2. Sun Sign Comparison: This is the simple comparison of Sun signs, based on the five basic elements that we are all familiar with. That is, each element represents certain characteristics and tendencies, influencing how well signs can harmonise with each other. An understanding of these elemental associations allows for some insight into the dynamics of a relationship between two people. The different elemental signs are:
   1. Fire Signs (Aries ♈, Leo ♌, Sagittarius ♐)
      • Characteristics: Passionate, energetic, enthusiastic and adventurous.
      • Compatibility: Fire signs are typically compatible with other Fire signs and Air signs. They thrive on excitement and adventure, making them dynamic and vibrant partners.
   2. Earth Signs (Taurus ♉, Virgo ♍, Capricorn ♑)
      • Characteristics: Practical, stable, reliable and grounded.
      • Compatibility: Earth signs often pair well with other Earth signs and Water signs. They value stability and security, creating strong, enduring relationships.
   3. Air Signs (Gemini ♊, Libra ♎, Aquarius ♒)
      • Characteristics: Intellectual, communicative, social and free-spirited.
      • Compatibility: Air signs are generally compatible with other Air signs and Fire signs. They thrive on mental stimulation and social interactions, making relationships lively and engaging.
   4. Water Signs (Cancer ♋, Scorpio ♏, Pisces ♓)
      • Characteristics: Emotional, intuitive, sensitive and nurturing.
      • Compatibility: Water signs usually connect well with other Water signs and Earth signs. They value deep emotional connections and empathy, fostering nurturing and supportive relationships.
