Synastry

    Compatibility is not one number.

    We read two charts across four separate axes: Communication, Chemistry, Trust and Long-term. One can be strong while another is weak — and usually is. Averaging them would erase the one thing you actually need to know.

    Four axes, scored apart.

    Each axis is read from its own planetary contacts. We show you which contacts produced each score — because a number whose source you cannot inspect is decoration, not a measurement.

    Communication

    Can you actually hear each other in an argument?

    Mercury contacts show how two people think and how they fight. Easy Mercury aspects make repair after a disagreement simpler — not agreement itself.

    Chemistry

    Is there a real pull between you?

    Venus–Mars contacts are the engine of attraction. When they are strong it is undeniable; when they are all you have, that is not a forecast of longevity. Which is why it is scored on its own axis.

    Trust

    Do you feel safe there?

    The Moon, and Sun–Moon contacts, carry emotional safety. The classic feeling of being understood usually comes from here: one person feels it, the other recognises the feeling.

    Long-term

    Will this carry weight over time?

    Saturn contacts are what make a relationship durable — and heavy. Synastry with no Saturn is easy and evaporates; synastry with too much is solid and exhausting. Hiding both inside one score would be a lie.

    Synastry or composite?

    They are not rivals; they answer different questions. Baby Astro computes both — knowing which one you need just makes it faster.

    What it answers
    SynastryWhat do you two do to each other?
    CompositeWhat is this relationship, on its own?
    How it is built
    SynastryTwo charts overlaid; the aspects between them are read.
    CompositeOne new chart, built from the midpoints of both.
    Best at describing
    SynastryAttraction, friction, what you each trigger in the other.
    CompositeThe relationship's purpose, tempo and public face.
    When to read it
    SynastryEarly on, or when untangling a conflict that keeps repeating.
    CompositeOnce it institutionalises — living together, partnership, marriage.
    Its blind spot
    SynastrySays nothing about where the relationship itself is going.
    CompositeSays nothing about the personal chemistry between you.

    Two charts, four axes.

    Both birth dates, times and places is all it takes. If a time is unknown, we mark which sections it weakens.
