Five signs apart · 150° apart

Libra and Pisces

The tradition is specific that this is not a weak square. A square describes two things in conflict, which at least implies they are on comparable terms. Five signs apart there are no comparable terms, so nothing can be traded off against anything. The classical picture is of continually adjusting for something that never resolves and never quite becomes a crisis.

What this page can and cannot tell you

Two Sun signs are two placements out of about eighty across two charts. They describe a general shape and nothing about the two people in particular, which is why sign compatibility is right often enough to feel useful and wrong often enough to be worth checking properly.

No element, no modality and no polarity in common, and not even the adjacency of neighbouring signs.

What these two have in common

No element, no modality and no polarity in common, and not even the adjacency of neighbouring signs.

Libra and Pisces as elements

Detachment against immersion. Air wants to discuss the feeling and water wants it acknowledged, which is the same conversation held at cross purposes for as long as both are willing.

The tempo

One decides and the other adjusts. Works smoothly until the adjusting one has had enough of accommodating, which tends to arrive without warning.

What works

Each finds the other genuinely strange, which some people want and most underestimate.

What costs something

Endless small accommodations, made without discussion, that neither notices until they add up.

The two signs themselves

Do it properly

Synastry compares both whole charts, measuring every one of one person's planets against every one of the other's. It is the technique this page is a summary of, it takes two birth dates, and it is free.
