Synastry

Synastry is the technique of comparing two people's natal charts to understand the dynamics between them. The planets and points of one chart are measured against those of the other, showing how two people meet, attract, support, and challenge one another. It is the main tool astrology uses for reading relationships of every kind, from romance to family to work. In synastry, an astrologer looks at how one person's planets aspect the other's, and at where one person's planets fall in the other's houses. One partner's Venus touching the other's Mars suggests attraction, while one person's Saturn on the other's Sun suggests a mix of stability and pressure. These cross-chart contacts describe the living chemistry between two charts. Synastry shows both the ease and the friction in a connection, since strong relationships usually contain both. It does not judge a relationship as good or bad but reveals how two people are likely to experience each other. In this app, synastry is offered as a feature for comparing two charts side by side and reading the connections between them.
