Sign compatibility
Each pairing reads both ways: Aries–Taurus is also Taurus–Aries.
As you look for your combination of Sun signs, think about what you enjoy together, what awakens the wish to come closer and the differences you need to understand. Several affinities in the chart can bring two people together; here the focus is on the meeting between Sun signs.
What first attracts us to another person can become a source of everyday friction. Initiative can feel like haste; caution, like standing still. Looking at both sides of a difference helps you see why something that brought you together later calls for an adjustment.
Here are the relationships among the twelve signs of the zodiac. Each combination appears only once: Aries–Taurus brings together the same pair of signs as Taurus–Aries. That way you can look up every possible meeting without repeated entries.
These descriptions are part of this system’s astrological approach. They point to affinities, differences and matters worth watching. A real relationship is read together with the other elements of the synastry and with each person’s inventory 1.
A meeting point can be strengthened and a difficulty can be worked on, but no combination replaces the involvement of both people in the bond.
Life as a couple can take the form of a marriage, living together, separate homes or other loving arrangements. When you read the references to family, intimacy or autonomy, keep in mind what you and your partner have chosen. Respecting an agreement of non-exclusivity is different from breaking a commitment. Here, synastry compares two charts at a time.
The images of animals, elements and types are the system’s descriptive tools. When the text speaks of leadership, support, initiative or receptivity, what matters is recognizing the dynamic between the people, without assigning them a role by sex or sexual orientation.
From the signs to shared life
As you close the consultation, return to a concrete experience in your relationship: a moment you both enjoyed, a difference you managed to understand or a disagreement that still needs words. There you can recognize what the reading gives you and what you want to keep asking your partner.
From the signs, the reading can move on to the astrological houses. By placing one person’s Sun and Ascendant in the other’s houses, the system interprets their interest in, and wish to take part in, their partner’s affairs: where that closeness can feel like support and where it is experienced as intrusion. In this way the reading comes closer to the concrete areas where your lives meet.
