Finding a partner that you are going to be able to spend the rest of your life with can be a struggle, especially if you do not know what to look for. For those that believe in star signs and astrology as a whole, you have likely heard of finding a compatible sun sign, or the sign that dominates your astrological chart. There are, however, several other aspects that you can consider that might help you find a compatible partner.
What is a Sun Sign and Why is It Important?
If we are trying to look past the sun sign, it is important to first understand a little bit about what a sun sign is and why it is important in your overall chart. Your sun sign is your dominant zodiac sign. This is the sign that is determined by the date that you were born.
Often, this is the first sign that you think of when someone asks you what sign you are, and this is the sign that most often dominates your personality and how you interact with the world around you. This is your dominant placement and what you are going to most likely refer to when trying to find out what possible traits a new partner might have.
There are 12 sun signs: Aries, March 21-April 19, Taurus, April 20- May 20, Gemini, May 21-June 21, Cancer, June 22- July 22, Leo, July 23- August 22, Virgo, August 23-September 22, Libra, September 23-October 23, Scorpio, October 24- November 21, Sagittarius, November 22- December 21, Capricorn, December 22-January 19, Aquarius, January 20-February 19, and Pisces, February 19- March 20.
These signs all have traits that are specific to their sign and that are different from one another. That is why they are mainly used for learning about someone and about their particular traits, personality and more. They are not the only sign in your chart, however, and there are plenty of other aspects that you can look at to find a partner that you are going to be compatible with.
What is a Birth Chart and What are the Elements?
For each person that is born, you have a natal birth chart that refers to astrology and that is meant to help you understand yourself and your personality better. In order to calculate your birth chart you need your birth day, this will help to determine the position of the sun, the moon and the planets on the day that you were born.
You also need the time of your birth, or as close to it as you can get, the city in which you were born, these are, again, going to help you to create your birth chart so that you can see where the planets were when you were born as well as the position of the stars. Each birth chart is unique to the individual that it was created for.
Your birth chart is going to be a circle that is divided into 12 parts, these are houses, houses are different parts of your personality and your personal life. Things like your self identity, your home and family, philosophy, secrets, career and more are all held in these houses. You can look at your birth chart as well as the birth chart of a possible partner to see if they are compatible.
A compatible birth chart is a good place to start, and can help you to be a bit more compatible with one another. This can also give you insight into the person that you are potentially going to date as well as insight into yourself and how you act as well.
What Are Moon Signs and What is Moon Sign Compatibility?
Another aspect of compatibility that you might want to look for is moon signs. A moon sign is determined by what position the moon was in on the day that you were born. Moon signs still use the names of the signs that we have already discussed. Your moon sign is said to be the emotional part of your personality.
This is something that is going to help you determine emotional maturity, how you handle things, and other aspects of your emotion. Just as there are compatible sun signs, there are compatible moon signs. A few examples of some compatible moon signs are Aries moon and Leo moon, Gemini moon and Libra moon, Cancer moon and Scorpio moon.
The moon sign is thought to be one of the most important signs when it comes to emotional compatibility. Your moon sign is going to be a big part of your natal chart and is determined by the exact time that you were born.
Other Aspects of Your Birth Chart
You can also see things like your rising sun, rising moon, the position of the planets and more that can all affect compatibility. On top of all of that, there are also elements and modalities of your chart that you can refer to in order to get a basic idea about compatibility and how a person might work.
Your main goal in looking at a birth chart is to learn a bit more about yourself, and a bit more about the person that you might be interested in. If you have never had a birth chart done, it may be helpful to first get your own birth chart done and try your best to learn a bit about it and to better understand yourself before you start focusing on another person.
Astrology has the ability to give us a more in depth insight into the possible motivations of individuals based on their astrological signs and based on their star signs. If you do not know anything about star signs or charts, it is always best to get the help of someone that is a professional or that knows a bit more about star signs and charts so that they can better explain each individual part of the chart to you and what each element means.
