Astrology is a multi-faceted discipline — or science depending on your viewpoint — and its different features hold an interest for different types of people. For example, some individuals are drawn to what is termed “mundane” astrology, which is the study of events and affairs in the world at large, rather than a focus on an individual’s birth chart. This article, however,centers on what is arguably the most popular area of astrology: star sign compatibility.
Astrologers know that the issue of compatibility between two people can be analysed and determined in advance, simply by knowing and comparing their birth charts. But this is a fairly involved process, and what happens if these charts are not available?
The answer lies in a simple comparison of the individual’s star signs. Everyone knows their star sign and this is a quick and easy way to judge compatibility between two people. Someone with Libra traits may not be compatible with the Cancer personality. More specifically, zodiac signs that are airy or fiery are broadly compatible:
The fire signs are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. Whilst the air signs are Gemini, Libra and Aquarius.
Zodiac signs that are earthy or watery are compatible with each other. The earth signs are Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. The Water signs are Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.
Two people whose signs are both in the same group will understand each other’s thought process and attitude to life. They will find communicating with each other to be a more inutitive process. However, we can go further than this and include a comparison of the individual’s Moon and Ascendant signs. If a couple’s star signs are different but one has their moon in the same sign as the other’s sun, then that adds a layer of compatibility to their interactions. In part 2 we will see how this combination works to the couple’s advantage
