How zodiac compatibility works in astrology

Popular compatibility scores usually compare only Sun signs. That's a fine starting point — but a serious astrology reading looks at the whole chart: Moon signs (emotional match), Venus (love style), Mars (desire style) and the aspects between them.

The classic 'element rule' is a useful shortcut: Fire pairs well with Fire and Air; Earth pairs well with Earth and Water; opposite elements can feel challenging but often catalytic.

Compatibility scores you see online — including our own — are interpretive, not scientific. They describe traditions and archetypes, not measurable outcomes.
