How to Get a Compatibility Horoscope

Horoscopes can provide you with insight into your own character. You can also use a horoscope to assess your compatibility with a romantic or business partner. Compatibility horoscopes examine both parties involved in the relationship, identifying areas in which people complement each other and where they may conflict. Getting a compatibility horoscope can provide you with information from the outset of the relationship, helping it to evolve smoothly.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Decide whether you want to get compatibility horoscopes that are based on sun symbols or Chinese astrology. Sun symbols, such as Libra and Leo, vary based on the time of year in which someone was born. The symbols in Chinese astrology, on the other hand, vary from year to year.

2. Visit online sites that provide compatibility horoscopes. If you want to get a compatibility horoscope based on sun signs, you will need to provide the birthdays of both people. Those using horoscopes from Chinese astrology will need to provide the years in which both people were born.

3. Enter the necessary information, whether it is each person's birthday or the year in which he was born, in the correct order. Some compatibility horoscopes depend on the gender of the signs involved. For example, a male Leo and female Libra may get a different compatibility horoscope than a female Leo and male Libra.

4. Scan the compatibility horoscope based on your signs. You may find characteristics of your own personality of which you should be aware. You will also find aspects of your potential partner's personality that may create sources of conflict, depending on how she interacts with your traits.

5. Gather additional information based on your specific pairing. If you are comparing sun signs, you can find detailed descriptions tailored to the quarter of the sign in which you were born. This results in more than 1500 combinations, which contain more nuanced compatibility information.
