Where To Get + How To Read A Synastry Chart (but, Like, Not Well, Ok?)

If you’ve been following along, you know I’ve been learning all about Eclipses and the Vertex point in astrology. ☺️✨

But to really get that snap-crackle-pop epiphany from analyzing the Vertex, you might need to do a little SYNASTRY > combining your and someone else’s chart (or the chart of an event or place) to see how fate, or all the rest of the solar system, intersects with your relationship. 👐🏻✨

And to cast someone else’s chart, you need their birth date, time, and location. 💫

This can get weird if you don’t know the person.

Like—you can’t do a proper synastry reading unless you know the person enough-ish to guess-timate their birth data, based on about two years’ worth of idle coffeeshop chitchat.

(And eavesdropping. 💁🏻‍♀️)

lemme guide you through my synastry discovery process ✨, deployed to explain and further interiorize my weird eclipse moment where my vertex was activated at the exact second i was looking into someone’s eyes 🌗⚡️, and then basically the next day he yelled me out of the cafe…

…but like Lorelei and Luke in Gilmore Girls, I will not quit getting my coffee there until either the barista admits he’s an asshole or Rory graduates from Yale. 🦋✨

Just FYI > synastry is basically reading a natal chart x 2, then adding up the math the two charts make together.

In other words, it takes a crazy fucking long time to accomplish, so tip your astrologer. 💸

ALSO, and this might just be me > most of the reference material on synastry feels hella dubious, and therefore very frustrating to apply—like, oversimplified, piecemeal, cookbook interpretations for “Venus in Libra” and “Your Mars is too confrontational if it shows up in any of these Houses on your partner’s chart”, and it’s basically impossible trying to combine all of that nonsense into a cohesive picture.

Which might actually indicate that I am definitely am amateur at synastry (+ human relating in general).

My main reference on what I’m about to pass off as synastry comes from Stephen Arroyo’s Person to Person Astrology, which is about 400 pages, and gets hella dramatic trying to emphasize having a strong understanding of the elements and modes in astrology, because the knowing the energy signatures of all the Sign-House-Aspect combinations helps you build the ability to visualize or intuit the true dynamic of a relationship (I guess).

SO, FULL DISCLOSURE > what I’m about to teach you… is mostly garbage. 💫

but, i will show you (some semblance of) a step-by-step guide to synastry, regardless of my qualifications to do so…

…and i will mostly be focusing on karmic and erotic points between mine + the barista’s (hypothetical) synastry chart…

…and mostly in reference to my own morbid curiosity about the eclipse. 👻🔎

I’m mostly after his Vertex (+ Uranus 😉).

And maybe he’s after my Chiron (+ Neptune-Moon). 🤔☺️

And PERHAPS, all the intel I learn from his transit chart (+ after calibrating for the incompatibilities in our synastry), I will be able to finally ask him, “Hey man, did you see a blue flash in my eyes hella days ago, back in June, an Eclipse might’ve tripped your Nodes…?”

Annnnnd maybe by September the little dog that lives in his car will finally get walked! 🤩🙌🏻💫

THINGS…

ARE…

HAPPENING!

(Until December 4th when the Eclipse set closes out > have you been following along?? 😬)
