Synastry and Houses, Best of the Aspects in the Astrology Chart.
The big question in the love game is “Could this be the ONE?“ There are a variety of compatibility test sites on the net and some astrology programs like Kepler cater for horoscope compatibility. So I was inspired to experiment with Café astrologys aspect ranking system. Could these tests be useful? They are objective after all and prevent your own love-sick bias from making a silk purse out of a sows ear.
I tried as many famous couples as I could find with an accurate birthtime and all the couples I knew personally. I wasn’t surprised Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward scored highly, but when I tried the others it all fell apart. Some really co-dependant and abusive relationships were ranking higher than John & Yoko. It didn’t make sense at all. After experimenting and stripping down the score I think I have come up with a formula that sorts out the wheat from the chaff.
I found the aspects that cut it time and time again are the classics. Forget your hyped-up outer planets, deluded Neptune and your karmic quincunxes. Space-dust and glitter! To find a rock solid, mutually supportive relationship that will weather the storms of modern life, I used Ptolemaic aspects and considering the following:
Tight orbs between the Luminaries/Saturn and the relationship planets, also Luminaries/Saturn to the destiny points and AC/DC. I also looked at the Sun/Moon midpoint and Luminaries in the 1st/7th house.
