Compatibility or Synergy & Astrology

A person with a predominance of Fire signs brings an impulsive enthusiasm to the relationship.

A person with a predominance of Earth signs introduces a stabilizing influence on the relationship.

A person with a predominance of Air signs puts the relationship on an intellectual level.

A person with a predominance of Water signs will flood the relationship with deep emotional actions and reactions.

In general, people are more likely to be compatible with each other
when their natal planets fall into compatible elements. The compatible
elements are fire with air, earth with water. That means if you have a
predominance of natal planets in the fire signs, you are more likely to
have a compatible relationship with someone who has a predominance of
natal planets in the air signs. If your companion's planets are mostly
in the earth signs, you can expect assorted difficulties depending on
which elements are involved.



It is also important to note how many of your planets are in the
Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable signs; and where your companion's planets
are. A predominance of planets in one quality (i.e., five or more
planets in a cardinal, fixed, or mutable sign) tells you how someone is
likely to act in a relationship. For example:

A person with a predominance of Cardinal signs is anxious to see things get started.

A person with a predominance of Fixed signs is more likely to be stubborn and unyielding in a relationship.

A person with a predominance of Mutable signs will be adaptable and willing to make most of the compromises.

Now it is important to note to see how your and your companion's
planets are distributed among the masculine and feminine signs. Most
people have an even balance of five-to-five, or six-to-four, between
masculine or feminine. If you and your companion each have the normal
ratios of planets, you should have no trouble getting along with each
other. You can work things out even when one of you has a gender ration
of seven-to-three while the other has a four-to-six ratio.



If there is a difference of one or two planets in masculine (or
feminine) signs between you and your companion you should have no
trouble in establishing a compatible relationship. If there is a
difference of three planets, you can still work things out. However, if
there are more than three planets between you and your companion, in
one gender, you will both have to work very hard to maintain a
relationship. The reason is that the dominantly masculine person's
aggressive behavior will threaten and harass the reserved,
security-motivated feminine person.



If both people are dominated by the same gender (either masculine or
feminine), they share the same viewpoint and approach to life.
Initially, this can give them a strong feeling of compatibility.
However, they will soon feel a need for the kind of stimulation that
comes from defending mildly different points of view. They will have to
turn to someone else to meet that need.
