Question 1

What is a synastry chart?

Accepted Answer

Take two birth charts and lay them on top of each other. Now look at what happens when Person A's Venus lands on Person B's Mars. Or when one person's Saturn sits right on the other person's Moon. Those cross-chart connections — aspects — tell you exactly where the electricity is, where the friction lives, and where the growth potential hides. Synastry doesn't give you a number or a verdict. It gives you a map of the relationship's inner mechanics.

Question 2

What are the most important synastry aspects?

Accepted Answer

Venus-Mars contacts. Full stop. That's the chemistry axis. His Venus conjunct her Mars? Magnetic physical attraction. Her Venus square his Mars? Same magnetism but with a combative edge — passion that runs hot. After that, Moon-Moon aspects show emotional resonance. Sun-Moon connections bond identity to emotion — the "I feel seen by you" aspect. Saturn aspects get a bad reputation, but Saturn-Venus or Saturn-Sun contacts in synastry? Those are the glue. They're not exciting. They're commitment. The couples who stay together for 40 years usually have strong Saturn synastry.

Question 3

Is synastry better than Kundli matching for compatibility?

Accepted Answer

Different tools for different questions. Ashtakoot matching gives you a clean numerical score based on Moon Nakshatras — great for a quick compatibility read that Indian families have trusted for centuries. Synastry goes deeper into the specific dynamics: where you'll argue, where the attraction lives, whether you'll grow together or apart. Ideally, run both. A couple with 28 Gunas but a harsh Saturn-Moon synastry square might score well on paper but struggle emotionally. The Vedic score tells you the potential. Synastry tells you the experience.
