How Western synastry works
Synastry compares two birth charts by calculating the aspects between their planets. Trines and sextiles are usually read as supportive, squares and oppositions as sources of tension, and conjunctions as intensifying the planets involved. This page calculates the actual aspects between the two charts and does not use a generic horoscope or AI.
The five Major aspects
- Conjunction
- A conjunction places the two bodies on the same degree, so their energies merge and amplify one another. In synastry it is the most intense contact — neither soft nor hard on its own. It intensifies whatever the two planets signify, for better and for more.
- Sextile
- A sextile (60°) is an easy, opportunity-flavoured contact. The two bodies cooperate when either person reaches for it — supportive rather than effortless, a door that opens with a little initiative.
- Square
- A square (90°) is the classic friction aspect: the two bodies pull in directions that don't naturally agree, creating tension that asks to be worked with. Handled consciously it is the engine of growth in a relationship, not a verdict against it.
- Trine
- A trine (120°) is the most harmonious contact — the two bodies share an element and flow together with little effort. It brings ease and natural understanding, the parts of a relationship that simply work.
- Opposition
- An opposition (180°) sets the two bodies face to face. It carries both attraction and tension — each person meets in the other something they lack, which can be magnetic or polarising depending on how the balance is held.
