Written in the Stars? A Guide to Relationship Astrology

Beyond "What's Your Sign?"

We've all checked our horoscope compatibility. "I'm a Leo, he's a Scorpio, are we doomed?" But pop astrology often misses the nuance of real connection. To truly understand chemistry, you need a Synastry Chart.

The Big Three of Love

While your Sun sign represents your ego, relationships live in the rest of the chart:

1. The Moon: Emotional Safety

The Moon governs how we feel and what we need to feel secure. Compatible Moons (e.g., Cancer and Pisces) create an effortless emotional bond ("feeling at home").

2. Venus: Love Language

Venus dictates what we value and how we show affection. A Gemini Venus wants witty banter; a Taurus Venus wants touch and gifts. Misaligned Venus signs require conscious effort to bridge.

3. Mars: Passion & Conflict

Mars is the planet of drive and sex. It shows how you fight and how you... unite. Tension here can be exciting (hot chemistry) or exhausting (constant bickering).

The 7th House

Look at the sign on the cusp of your 7th House (the Descendant). This often describes the qualities you seek in a long-term partner, often traits you feel you lack yourself.
