What synastry reveals
By overlaying two charts we look at the aspects between one person's planets and the other's: one person's Moon conjunct the other's Sun creates a feeling of home; one's Mars square the other's Venus brings attraction and friction. We also look at which house of your chart the other person's planets fall in — the area of your life they stir the most.
No aspect is good or bad in itself. Tensions worked through are what make a relationship mature; harmony alone can lead to complacency. Celeste's reading names both, without romanticizing and without alarming.
Sign compatibility and synastry
Sun-sign compatibility — Aries with Leo, Taurus with Capricorn — is a friendly summary, but a shallow one. Two people with "incompatible" signs can have Moons in trine and Venus in conjunction; full synastry is what shows the real relationship.
That is why we ask for the birth date, time and city of both people. Without the time we lose the houses and the Ascendant, which are precisely the most revealing parts of how each one receives the other.
How to use the reading
Read it together, if you can. Synastry is a map for conversation: every point of tension is a topic to discuss with more compassion, and every point of support is a resource you already have. We always end with something practical for the everyday life of the relationship.
