Methodology

The uniqueness of AstroDate lies in our matching system. Not only do we use the criteria for a partner that you have specified in our questionnaire, we also use the ancient tried and tested method of Astrological synastry. Using your date and place of birth, we calculate your astrological profile and, by matching your chart with others’, target your most suitable companions.

The complex technique of Astrological synastry should not be confused with sun sign astrology as popularised by the media. When people refer to themselves as a Virgo, or a Scorpio, they are talking about their sun sign. Although there is some merit in the sun sign classification, the information that it yields is too vague for our purposes. The sun sign, while integral since it represents the primary identity, does not alone determine compatibility with another person’s chart! In determining compatibility, an astrologer takes into consideration the whole astrology chart of each person individually and then examines how the two charts interact with each other.

All of the astrological symbology contained within both charts needs to be taken into consideration in order to reveal all of the facets of the individuals, as well as the relationship between them. With the astrological technique of synastry, an astrologer is able to identify the hopes and motives, the fears and doubts, the similarities and differences, and the reality and illusions of a relationship between two people.

The higher the level of specificity one can achieve in any sorting system, the more accurate the results. This is certainly true for Astrological synastry. The Astrological profiling used by AstroDate therefore focuses on your personality (Sun sign), your communication style (Mercury), your relationship preferences (Venus), your drive (Mars) and your emotional make-up (Moon) and match these with four potential partners, so that you get four possible matches for the price of one!

Not all good matches are necessarily romantic matches, so expect to make quite a few good friends along the way too! When a good Astrological synastry is achieved between two people, it indicates that the energies between them will be harmonious and the specific planets involved will give us more information as to exactly how and in which areas the compatibility manifests. We endeavour to match all facets as close as is astrologically possible!

When meeting somebody for the first time, astrologically speaking, you are meeting their ascendant or rising sign, which is the image they project to the world. The ascendant describes a person’s appearance and not their essence. Most people are a little bit nervous at first and some might take longer than others to be at ease. A good approach would be to allow each other the space to relax and in the process get to know the person behind the image.
