Zodiac Sign Compatibility

Your Zodiac sign, also called your sun sign or star sign, is simply the position of the sun in your horoscope at the moment of your birth. The complete horoscope includes the planets, the astrological Houses, and the aspects (angles) between planets. That's a whole lot more.

Therefore, predictions based only on your Zodiac sun sign can't be very precise. Still, they give some general clues, since the sun is almost as important in the horoscope as it is in the sky.

The sun shows your situation and sentiment when you're not involved in other things, for example when you relax or are unoccupied by something special. Your natural state.

About Zodiac Sign Compatibility

Now, in your relationships, being able to relax together is fundamental, so comparing your Zodiac signs says something about how compatible the two of you are. The positions of your suns reveal how easy or difficult it is for you to spend amounts of time together and adapt to the basic needs of one another.

Your Zodiac signs can't tell how long your relation will be or the exact nature of it, but they give a hint as to how comfortable you are together and what might nag you about your partner, as well as what irritates your partner about you.

Your sun signs show the basic state of your relationship. The specifics, though, you need the complete horoscope charts to examine.

Compatibility of Fathers

Your Zodiac sign is where the sun is in your horoscope, and in astrology the sun reveals your relation to your father. So, comparing Zodiac signs will also tell something about how compatible your fathers are to you and your partner, as well as to one another.
