If the grid square to the right of your Sun and below the other's Moon contains a Score Symbol
(in the example above it is a 9) that score
instantly tells you how compatible your Sun (inner self) is in regard to the other's Moon
(emotional being). Higher scores, and their related score colors, indicate greater
compatibility. (If no score appears in the center of the grid square, the angle between the two planets
is "out of orb," meaning the planets do not affect each other in a significant way.)
Click on the Planet Symbol (or planet name) inside the planet box to read a description of the
personality characteristics associated with that planet. Click the Sign/Degree inside a planet box
to read the description for the sign the planet falls in. The qualities of the planet are expressed
or modified by the qualities associated with the sign it appears in. That's why someone whose Sun
is in Libra is different from someone whose Sun is in Scorpio -- the inner being (Sun) is expressed
or modified by the sign it appears in.
In the example above, the score in the grid square comparing your Sun (inner self) and the
other's Moon (emotional being) is a nine (9). This indicates that the other
person's Moon, being receptive, will experience the outwardly projected energy of your Sun
in a very positive way. The other person will understand who you are, on the inside, on
an emotional level, which is a very nice quality to have in any friendship or romance.
You would feel "recognized" emotionally by the other person, and they would feel like they
know you well. If the score were a (2) there would be major difficulties involved. You
would not feel like the other understands who you really are, and they would have trouble
feeling like they understand your motivations and intent. Trust, or the lack of it, may
be an issue. This same square indicates both how your Sun affects the other's Moon, and
how their Moon relates to your Sun.
All the squares to the right of your Sun indicate how each of the other person's
planets relate to your inner personality. In the same way, all the squares to the
right of your Moon show how your emotional being (Moon) is affected by each of the planets
in the other's chart. The grid allows you to compare all your planets (in the column on
the left) to all of the other's planets (in the row across the top).
Without any previous understanding of astrological compatibility, you can quickly
determine your astrological compatibility with another person, in hundreds of different ways,
simply by glancing at the scores in the grid.
At this point you might want to take a good look at the grid and see how well you
understand the way it works. Create a grid comparing yourself to a celebrity or another
member, then come back here and click on "part two" at the top of this page to learn more about
the other information available in each grid square.
