Astrological
Compatibility Reports With Ratings
Updated
October 11, 2015
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 darned popular. And before I knew any
better, I liked them, too. Quick, simple, fun and painless...
But
here's the skinny: The compatibility ratings are typically based on
an astrological technique called "synastry" (cross aspects) chart comparison.
And
I've got 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 neatly plugged into.
Next
Concern:
Except for a handful of the more expensive professional report generating
programs available, few of them are 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 certainly 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 of the software providing the rating,
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 highly sophisticated software
along with a statisical genius and astrological savant 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 (deceptive,
inflated) 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.
