The Synastry reading, written by hand

More than sixty pages written by hand on two charts placed on the same table. Where they hold each other, where they chafe, and what older threads run between the two people. The karmic layer is part of the reading, handled with both feet on the ground.

What it includes

• Both natal chartsEach person read on their own first: Sun, Moon, Ascendant and every planet.
• Venus and Mars between youHow each of you loves, how each of you wants, and why you are drawn to one another.
• Emotional compatibilityThe contacts between your Moons, what each person needs, and how you look after each other.
• House overlaysWhere each person activates the other's life, area by area.
• Major and minor synastry aspectsThe core bonds between the two charts, and the fine threads that often carry the deepest charge.
• Karma and past life bondsWhether you have met before, the patterns you carry into this connection, and why it feels so familiar.
• North Node connectionsWhether your souls are heading in the same direction.
• Chiron contactsWhere you heal each other, and where you hurt each other.
• Tension and growthThe friction that either breaks the bond or makes it unshakable.
• Long-term potentialWhere the two charts point when placed together.
• A final personal messageWritten directly to both of you.

Who it is for

For two people who want to understand the ground they share. It works in a relationship that is going well and wants to go deeper, and in one that has stalled and cannot quite see where.

The other person does not need to believe in astrology. They do need to agree to your using their birth details.

What I need from you

Date, time and place of birth for both people. The time matters especially here, because many of the contacts that define a bond fall on the angles and the houses.

If one of the times is missing, write to me before ordering and we will see what can still be read.

How it is written

I read both charts separately before putting them together. A contact between two charts does not mean the same thing depending on who it lands on, and skipping that step leads to describing a generic relationship rather than yours.

I write about what is there, including the uncomfortable parts. A synastry that only says pleasant things is no use to anyone.

From the reviews

Does it work for relationships that aren't romantic?

Yes. The technique compares two charts, and that works the same between a mother and daughter, between business partners, or between lifelong friends. Tell me when you order so I can aim the reading where it belongs.

What if I don't know the other person's birth time?

Write to me before ordering. Without one of the two times, that chart loses its angles and houses, which is a significant part of a synastry. A good deal can still be read, but I would rather explain what falls outside before you pay.

Will you tell me whether the relationship works?

No, because a chart does not decide that. What I can tell you is where the easy ground is, where the real friction sits, and which old patterns are hooking into each other. What you do with that is yours.
