Astrology of Love: How to See Compatibility Between Couples

Have you ever noticed that some couples seem perfectly matched, while others experience constant ups and downs? Astrology can explain much of this. By analyzing the natal chart, we can understand not only the initial attraction but also how each person manages emotions, desire, and even conflicts. Here’s a step-by-step guide to assessing compatibility between partners.

Signs and Elements

First, remember that the zodiac signs are divided into four elements. This alone reveals a lot about how someone relates:

• 
  

  Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius): passionate, energetic, and straightforward. They need movement and enthusiasm in a relationship.
  



• 
  

  Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn): value security, stability, and dedication. They love relationships built on solid foundations.
  



• 
  

  Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius): light, communicative, and rational. They need freedom and intellectual exchange in love.
  



• 
  

  Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces): sensitive, deep, and intuitive. They seek emotional connection above all.
  

Couples sharing the same element tend to understand each other more easily, but unions of different elements can also bring balance, as long as there is patience and respect.

Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable Signs

Beyond elements, signs also have modalities that reflect how each one acts in love:

• 
  

  Cardinal (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn): initiators who like to take the lead and create movement in the relationship.
  



• 
  

  Fixed (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius): value stability, may be more stubborn, but bring firmness to the relationship.
  



• 
  

  Mutable (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces): adaptable, flexible, and curious. They change their minds easily, which can be both positive and challenging.
  

The key is balancing energies: a fixed sign with a mutable one can learn to give ground, while a cardinal can inspire action in the other.

Key Points of the Natal Chart

Analyzing compatibility involves much more than just the sun sign. Love goes far beyond that. The main points in the chart are:

• 
  

  Sun: shows your essence and how you express yourself in the world.
  



• 
  

  Moon: reveals emotional needs and how you react emotionally.
  



• 
  

  Venus: indicates how you love, relate, and express affection.
  



• 
  

  Mars: reflects attraction, desire, and sexual energy.
  

In other words, a couple may have very different sun signs, but if there is harmony between the Moon and Venus, the relationship can be much smoother.

Also, Consider the Challenges

Finally, remember: no couple is perfect. Astrology shows affinities but also highlights challenges. Differences in elements or tense aspects between planets don’t mean the love won’t work; they indicate that more dialogue, patience, and understanding are needed. The chart does not limit—it broadens understanding and promotes mutual growth.

In summary, understanding the elements, modalities, and planets in the natal chart helps identify areas of harmony and where more effort is required. This way, couples can appreciate strengths and face challenges together.
