How we score compatibility
Scores start from element and modality harmony (same element and complementary elements score higher; square signs lower), adjusted for the ruling planets and how each sign handles closeness, conflict and change. They describe tendencies, not destiny — the full synastry chart, which compares Moon, Venus, Mars and the Ascendant, is far more telling.
