Synastry Chart Calculator

Synastry compares two natal charts planet-by-planet to reveal the gravitational dynamics of a relationship. Enter both birth datums below to see every cross-chart aspect within standard orbs.

Sun-sign pair interpretations

The calculator above runs your real cross-chart synastry. For sun-sign-keyed relationship archetypes — the patterns common to every Aries × Leo, Cancer × Capricorn, or Scorpio × Pisces pairing — browse our hub of 132 ordered pair pages, each interpreted from both directions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a synastry chart?
Synastry compares two natal charts to see how their planets interact across both people. It surfaces compatibility patterns — emotional fit, sexual chemistry, communication style, friction points — that single-sign compatibility (just Sun signs) cannot.
Is the synastry calculator free?
Yes — completely free with full interpretations. No signup, no email, no paywall. Calculate unlimited synastry charts.
What aspects matter most in synastry?
Sun-Moon (emotional resonance), Venus-Mars (attraction and desire), Moon-Moon (emotional rhythm), Saturn-Venus (commitment vs. restriction), and Mercury-Mercury (communication style) are the heaviest hitters. Hard aspects (squares, oppositions) bring growth tension; soft aspects (trines, sextiles) bring ease.
Do I need both birth times for synastry?
For planetary aspects, no — date and place are enough. For Ascendant, Midheaven, and house overlays (where each person's planets land in the other's houses), exact birth times are required for both people.
What is the difference between synastry and a composite chart?
Synastry compares two separate charts; the composite chart merges both into a single chart representing the relationship itself as an entity. They answer different questions — synastry shows how you interact, composite shows what the relationship is.
How accurate is the synastry calculator?
Both charts use the same calculation path as the birth chart calculator. Planet positions and aspect orbs are validated against the project accuracy contract rather than estimated from sun signs.
