Read across your sign’s row to your partner’s column, then open the cell for the pairing guide. Scores are editorial ratings out of 100, not measured probabilities of relationship success.

How are compatibility scores calculated?

FateArc uses a fixed Sun-sign scoring model. The starting rating comes from the angle between two signs: conjunction 78, semi-sextile 58, sextile 82, square 55, trine 90, quincunx 52 and opposition 74. Matching elements add 6 points; fire–air or earth–water add 3; other element combinations subtract 4.

Sharing a modality — cardinal, fixed or mutable — subtracts 3 points, except for trines. The final overall rating stays between 40 and 96. For example, Aries and Leo form a trine and share fire: 90 + 6 = 96. The love, communication, trust and long-term ratings apply additional fixed adjustments to that overall score.

These weights express an astrological interpretation; they are not derived from a study of couples. A score of 96% does not mean a 96% chance of staying together. Use each guide’s discussion prompts to explore expectations, communication and differences with your partner.

Sun-sign compatibility or a full synastry reading?

Every person with the same Sun sign receives the same pairing score here. Synastry compares two birth charts, including planetary placements and their angles. Start with your birth chart to see what this table leaves out, or explore an astrology reading for a personal interpretation.
