Relationship Astrology – Synastry

The branch of Relationship Astrology is also known as synastry, compatibility or partner horoscope. People are created as social beings and since the dawn of time, the relationships between them have shaped the micro and macro environment and, accordingly, the world. Relationship Astrology can be applied to (actual or potential) couples, to parent-child, to friends, to enemies, to business partners, even to countries.


Misconceptions in the branch of Relationship Astrology - Synastry

Since human relationships shape the world, and since the planet of relationships and love is Venus, which is female, it is no secret that the majority of people seeking synastry services are women. That is fine as long as people are told the whole truth. I mean, historically, the branch of Relationship Astrology has always been subordinate to the natal branch, which studies an individual’s horoscope. Evidence of this is that you will not find individual traditional astrological books on synastry, but rather chapters and passages in books of the natal branch.

This brings me to the first extremely important point. Since the branch Relationship Astrology – Synastry is subordinate to the natal branch, it cannot use rules that do not apply to the natal branch/its parent. Just as without a time of birth there can be no birth horoscope, so there can be no Relationship Astrology without such. The world is full of so-called “astrologers” who do not tell their potential clients this, because against the background of increasingly frequent separations, divorces and love triangles, Synastry Astrology services have become a huge business. In case you come across such “astrologers” who offer synastry without a time of birth, my recommendation is not only to run far away, but to expose them in front of other people.

Second, your natal chart contains your entire life. From an astrological point of view, there is nothing more significant than it. There are two factors here: static and dynamic. The first looks at your life as a whole, and the second brings in time, the timing of events. That is, the second factor shows how the horoscope unfolds/activates over the years and decades. In between this unfolding, you meet other people: parents, siblings, lovers/husbands/wives, friends, enemies, children, and so on. From an astrological (and spiritual) perspective, these are outsiders to you and you to them. That is, your horoscope comes first in the relationship with them and theirs also in the relationship with you. That is, without not only taking into account the birth horoscopes of individuals, but considering them as leading ones separately on their own, the branch of Relationship Astrology – synastry is not only misused, but can cause more harm than good.

Example: synastry analysis can show a strong attraction between you and the other person. However, this attraction is no guarantee that you will start a relationship or even friendship with this person. Since they accept orders for synastry with an unknown time of birth, the only place such “astrologers” can look for this attraction is in the planetary aspects between your and the other’s horoscope. But in Ancient Astrology there are stronger factors than aspects, however these factors are only available when the time of birth is correct. “Astrologers” who not only practice this way, but do not tell their clients this, do so solely for material motives. My recommendation is to avoid them and seek astrological compatibility services from another astrologer.

Third, when it comes to relationship predictions, astrologers offering synastry services massively look at interplanetary aspects and/or the composite chart. That is, they violate the second point, and their predictions too often turn out to be misleading or outright wrong. That is, when person A enters into a relationship with person B, be it love, business or friendship, A’s horoscope continues to be the leader for A, just as B’s horoscope continues to be the leader for person B. Both at the natal and at predictive level. And what happens to the potential relationship if one potential partner is about to stay abroad or go to the barracks or the army? Or the birth of a child by a woman whose husband has been saying to you for 1 year that he will break up with her to be with you? These are not hypothetical scenarios, but developments with real people I know. The answer to what is happening is that planetary aspects for strong attraction go down the drain because there are other more important factors.

 

What synastry services I am offering

This month (November 2024) marks 13 years since I took an Intensive Course in Synastry with Modern Astrology. The course was really good, but over the years I wanted more and more to complete the picture. It took me over 10 years and much more material until I began to clarify a more complete approach and system, integrating it with the ancient one. The process continues and will continue as new translations of classical astrological passages and synastry techniques come out. However, I am now confident that I am ready and it is time to offer this priceless wealth to the people as well, namely services for synastry with Ancient Astrology.

This month (November 2024) also marks 11 years since I began intensively studying and practising Chinese Astrology. It took me about 10 years and a lot of material from three continents until I was able to sort and synthesize things and be ready to offer them to people, namely Relationship Astrology with Chinese Astrology.

What synastry with Ancient Astrology includes

Over the years and practice and comparing and testing multiple approaches, I realized that the best way to extract and prioritize the information revealed by the horoscope is by using layers/filters.

I will reveal most of the filters I use so you can get a good idea of the thoroughness with which I work and how seriously I take things. Here’s what you’ll learn from me (and more) about your relationship with your partner:

  • axis of positive and/or negative partner;
  • basic needs – where they are, what they are, which of them will be fulfilled and which will not;
  • axis of independence or codependence;
  • ability to make a long-term commitment;
  • way of expressing emotions;
  • what each of them is attracted to and how they express affection;
  • who has a stronger sex drive;
  • who is more jealous and possessive;
  • whether either of you has problems with sexual expression and pleasure;
  • analysis of the topic of marriage in individual horoscopes;
  • who influences the other how and what activates in the other’s horoscope;
  • where are the potential problems and difficulties; recommendations for their mitigation;
  • who hurts whom more and in what way;
  • where is the strongest compatibility, where are the strengths in the relationship and recommendations for strengthening them;
  • is either partner hiding secrets and which of the two is doing it;
  • is one of the partners prone to cheating;
  • a general look in the separate horoscopes of the two if there are difficulties in the relationship in the next few years, which partner will be affected more by this and when this will happen;

 

 

 

 

When it comes to analyzing the astrological compatibility of friends, parent-child, business partners or enemies, the filters that include sex are obviously removed and not applied. Also, synastry analysis can be done for people who have not yet become lovers, friends, business partners, etc.

Note 1: When applying the above filters and in synastry with Ancient Astrology, sexual orientation is irrelevant. The classical texts contain hundreds of rules for bisexual and homosexual people. One of the most famous astrologers in history, the 9th century Arab Abu Mashar, wrote: “Venus indicates love-making, sex, pleasure and love of all variety; sex from behind and sex by rubbing.” That is, here he is talking about any kind of sex, including sex between gays and sex between lesbians.

There are astrologers who call themselves “spiritual” and refuse to work with bisexual and homosexual people. I work with all kinds of people as long as they are honest. I also work with people from different continents. Everyone has a fundamental right to experience shared love and pleasure with another person.

Note 2: Although there is a personal data regulation that has very harsh penalties, people regularly break it by asking astrologers to do Western synastry with or without time of birth without telling the other person whose data they are using. Almost always it’s a compatibility analysis for love, with the person providing the data being the one interested. I have also been offered similar synastry offers several times. I always turned them down. And I know of quite a few astrologers who regularly practise this way, valuing money and regular orders over the personal data and privacy of the other person. I value my privacy highly and that of my clients. Therefore, my condition is when ordering synastry with Ancient and Chinese Astrology from me, you must have the consent of the other person. The exception is only for a spouse or partner with whom you live and he/she accordingly knows that you are using his/her horoscope. It is recommended that the other person is also present, not just the person who ordered the rectification. But I can’t oblige anyone to be present. And experience so far showed me that, unfortunately, most men show minimal interest in this.

 

What synastry with Chinese Astrology includes

  • how strong the compatibility is between the two,
  • whether it is based on a birth level or mostly a 5 or 10 year cycle that will end;
  • does the one contain some of the most favorable stars for the other, or vice versa;
  • who gets more than the other in the relationship;
  • the topic of marriage in whose individual horoscope is more problematic or unstable;
  • which of the partners is more susceptible to seduction;
  • a general look in the separate horoscopes of the two if there are difficulties in the relationship in the next few years, which partner will be affected more by this and when this will happen;

Note: As I have written and made videos on the subject, Chinese Astrology is the only one that can work without a birth hour. I mean the Four Pillars of Destiny (BaZi) branch. There are three reasons for this: 1) it is a different system in which there are no planets, 5 elements and many stars; 2) here the day is the most important, not the hour; 3) the day rules the topic of marriage while the hour rules the topic of children. That is, when you order a partner horoscope with Chinese Astrology, it is possible to be without an hour. This is not possible when ordering a Chinese Horoscope with the topic of children.

And last but not least, Chinese Astrology is quite short on synastry and has a more bird’s eye view than the Ancient Western one. Ancient Astrology is better and more accurate than Chinese Astrology, while it is easier to see longer periods ahead wth the Chinese one. Since Chinese Astrology does not reveal as many secrets and details, and since it can be used without a time of birth, although it is still recommended that the other person knows that you are ordering such an analysis, it is permissible to do it without his/her knowledge. The reason is that only the date of birth is used (not even the place of birth or the name is necessary).

 
 



Hоw much the Relationship Astrology reading costs and what is required

The synastry reading costs 360.00 euros when it is with Ancient and Chinese Astrology. You need to have an exact time of birth, with a deviation of no more than 4-5 minutes. If your time of birth is approximate, I will have to rectify it. If you or the other person do not know your time of birth, I can rectify it. I am one of the few astrologers in the world who offers 24-hour rectification services.

If you do not know your time of birth or that of the other person with whom you want an astrological analysis for compatibility, but don’t want to  pay extra for rectification, then you can choose the option of synastry with Chinese Astrology. It is in written form and costs 160.00 euros.

It is preferable in Chinese synastry that neither of you were born in the Gray Area (seen by a glance at the Chinese calendar or from an online calculator). If any of you are, I will most likely cancel the order. The reason is that I have to do something like Chinese rectification. Exceptions are possible and I will proceed on a case by case basis.

I want this service. What do I do?

1. You contact me. provide me with your data, say where you got the time of birth in question: from a parent’s memory, from an official written document, etc. We decide if you need a rectification. If yes, I perform it first.

2. I give you my payment details and you transfer the corresponding amount to me via bank transfer or another method.

3. After receiving your payment, I start preparing for the synastry consultation, which takes me 3 working days. We schedule a day and time for a 120-minute online consultation using the free Viber or Skype applications. I record our consultation in audio format and send it to you afterwards. Of course, if you have any questions during it, you ask me and I answer you right away.
