Synastry explained through a calculated example
Synastry compares two calculated charts. The example below uses fictional people. It shows how a calculated contact becomes a passage about their relationship.
From calculation to a passage
The engine calculates positions and aspects from birth details. An aspect describes an angle between two celestial bodies. In a reading, that fact remains attached to the passage that comments on it: prose does not create a position or contact absent from the calculation.
The example is not a rule for every relationship. It makes the method visible: one precise contact, its relational context, then an invitation to recognise or qualify what resonates in lived experience.
Reading a contact in context
One type of aspect does not have one translation. Its place among other contacts, the chosen question — love, friendship or work — and the way people live the bond all shape the wording.
That is why synastry is not a list of “good” and “bad” aspects. It can show an easy flow as well as a point of friction, without announcing incompatibility or certainty.
Read an aspect through three things: the two bodies involved, the angle measured between them and the orb, the distance from the exact angle. A conjunction brings themes together; a trine or sextile eases a flow; a square or opposition brings a difference to work with. A smaller orb makes a contact tighter; it does not make an interpretation certain.
What this example guarantees
Lou and Sacha are fictional. You can read their actual sample analysis below, with the planetary contact that supports the passage.
Swiss Ephemeris is used for astronomical calculations. The reading that follows belongs to astrology’s symbolic language: it is offered as an observation prompt, never as a scientific measure of a bond.
