Astrological
Compatibility Reports With Ratings
Question: How
helpful and/or accurate are all those astrology compatibility readings
that include ratings?
Answer:
Ah...
the computer generated astrology reports that provide compatibility
ratings? Yep... they're pretty popular. And before I knew any
better, I liked them, too. Quick, simple, and painless...
But
here's the skinny: These ratings are typically based on an astrological
technique called "synastry" (cross aspect) chart comparison. And
the numbers, percentages, and/or ratings that are subsequently generated
are
based on the opinions and theories of the particular astrologer
that provided the raw data for the report writer program.
And
frankly, I've got more than a few concerns about the average compatibility
report that gives ratings and/or scores:
First
Concern:
First of all, many (or most) of these chart comparisons are still based
and designed on a traditional idea that everybody (truly) wants nice, comfortable,
easy relationships (that are in turn based on nice, comfortable, easy cross
aspects like trines and sextiles).
The
fact is (despite protestations to the contrary) a lot of folks
unconsciously choose to have more friction and/or tension in their
intimate relationships - and these folks tend to get easily bored
with too much nice, comfortable and easy.
Most
of us, in fact, need and want a balance of nice and easy along
with a little friction added in.
In
my estimation... there's truly not a "one size fits all" formula
that everyone can be plugged into.
Next
Concern:
Except for a handful of the more expensive professional report generating
programs available, most of them are not all that sophisticated and are
limited in their capability to perform a complete, well rounded "synastry" comparison.
They're
generally good as far as they go... and
they're definitely much better than doing a simple Sun Sign
comparison... But most don't go far enough... and so you end up
missing out on several significant factors that really ought to
be strongly considered when doing "synastry" compatibility comparisons...
And,
when it comes to sophistication, I doubly have to wonder just how
much actual thought has gone into the formulation
of numbers used to crunch out those compatibility ratings? Seems
like you'd need the rare combination of a statisical genius and an
astrological savant just to come up with a reasonably adequate
result that
in all (or most) cases actually reflects the opinion of the particular
astrologer.
Yep!
While there are some fine compatibility reports out there, such as
the one sold here at StarryMart, the best ones generally aren't crazy
enough to provide ratings.
Final
Concern
And finally, "synastry" chart comparison is only one of several tools that
can be (and are) used by astrologers when evaluating astrological compatibility
between two people.
