I often get asked when people find out that I am an Astrologer if they are compatible with their romantic partners. Most people are not aware that Astrology is very complex and when it comes to compatibility it is much more than the sun sign and if anything, the sun sign is not as significant as some other planets and houses. The problem is also most people only know their sun sign and not any other aspects of their chart. I will go into detail more about compatibilty in other posts. In this one I will tell you which planets and houses are important to look to see how compatible you are with your partner.
Planets:
- Moon– Your moon is your inner emotions and how you process you them. It is in a lot of ways your true inner self. It is important to look at the moon because you want your partner to understand how you process conflict and emotions. Ideally, you want someone who processes in a similar way to you, therefore, you will have a better natural understanding of eachother.
- Mercury– Mercury is the planet of communication and it shows how you express yourself verbally. Ideally, you want someone who communicates similarly to you so that there is less miscommunication and you have a clear understanding of what the other person is trying to communicate to you.
- Venus– Venus is the planet of love. It shows how you like to be courted and how you court others. In order for you to have a romantic interest in someone, they need to speak your love language and understand how you like to be treated. If a prospective suitor is interested in you, this is the planet they should pay most attention to if they want to know the way to your heart.
- Mars– Mars is the planet of your energy and how you exert yourself. In romance, it represents your sexual energy. Sexual compatibility is important in partnerships, because being physically compatible creates great attraction. In the long term, having a natural physical attraction to eachother will go a long way.
Houses:
- 5th house– The 5th house represents your hobbies and love interests. This house shows what you like to do with your spare time and the traits of what you find attractive in a lover.
- 7th house– The 7th house is your house of one-on-one relationships. It is the house of commitment and marriage. It shows the traits of what you are willing to commit to. This house can also be the house of enemies. People with traits of this sign will either be very attractive or repulsive to you.
- 8th house– The 8th house represents your sexual energy in relationships. People who have traits of this sign will be very compatible with you in the bedroom.
- 11th house– The 11th house represents friendship. People with traits of this sign will form close friendships with you easily.
