This is a great question and one more new couples should be asking.
Natural compatibility is determined by the linkages and clashes between planets and points between your two natal charts.
In fact, linkages and clashes between two charts tell so much about your relationship, it’s easy to predict the outcome with 95% accuracy!
Natural astrological compatibility creates the easy, free-flowing, naturally harmonious relationship most people want to be in. Compatibility builds happiness and security. Compatible, happy relationships give more than they take and help to make every part of your life better.
I disagree with John Lennon – Love is NOT all you need. While almost everyone wants the basis of their relationship to be true love and soulmate potential, it is compatibility more than anything else that creates the ability to be happy and content together over time. For a relationship to work over the long haul, you must have true love AND the absence of, or at least the ability to work with, toxic clashes.
Many toxic clashes can create too much drama and misery and drain your energy for other things. If you have too many days of “trying to work on it,” and not enough days of mellow, relaxed harmony, the relationship probably isn’t very beneficial for you.
But…. don’t panic when you discover you have clashes. EVERY relationship has some.
The questions are:
How Many?
And How Bad?
Not all clashes are or need to be deal-breakers. As long as there are not an unusually high number of clashes overall, most clashes can be worked with.
