How sign compatibility works

Astrology judges two signs mostly by the angle between them. Signs of the same element sit four signs apart (a trine) and share a temperament, so they understand each other without much effort. Fire gets on with air and earth with water: those pairs sit two signs apart (a sextile) or directly opposite, and one element feeds the other.

Signs three apart (a square) share a modality but not an element. Two cardinal signs both want to lead, two fixed signs both refuse to move, and two mutable signs both slip away from a decision. Squares make for friction, and friction makes for attraction as often as for arguments. Signs five apart (a quincunx) have neither element nor modality in common and spend a lot of time translating.

All of this compares Sun signs, which is a start. The Moon shows what each of you needs to feel safe, Venus and Mars how you court and desire, and the aspects between the two charts where you click and where you rub. A compatibility report reads those for the two of you.
