Is my situationship going anywhere? What do our charts say?
What's actually true — the astronomy
Cross-aspects between two charts are exact geometry: the angular distances between each planet in one chart and each in the other, computed to the arc-second, with orbs applied. The Vedic Guna Milan score is likewise a defined, reproducible calculation. Both are real arithmetic on real positions.
What the tradition says (interpretation)
Synastry reads those cross-aspects as the texture of a relationship — Venus-Mars for attraction, Saturn contacts for weight and difficulty, Moon contacts for emotional legibility. Guna Milan scores 36 points across eight factors. Rich traditions, both — and both interpretation.
The decision-science move — what to actually do
Run the synastry if you want the vocabulary; it is genuinely a good way to think about what you need from someone. But settle this with the only test that works: ask directly, in plain words, what this is. The answer you get — including a non-answer, which is an answer — will tell you more in thirty seconds than every aspect in the grid. And if you are afraid to ask, that fear is the real finding.
