What is a synastry chart?
Synastry compares two birth charts by looking at angular contacts between their planets. Us & Stars calculates these contacts and pairs them with symbolic conversation prompts. It does not measure relationship quality or predict a future together.
Is the birth-chart comparison free?
Yes. The current beta includes the comparison, up to 12 selected planetary contacts, reflection prompts and printing or saving as PDF. Free during beta. No account, credit card or subscription is required.
What if I do not know the birth time?
Select Time unknown. We use noon only as a reference, omit that person’s Moon and withhold all precise between-chart aspects if either time is unknown. You can still see a limited overview and general conversation questions. We do not guess a rising sign or houses.
Is this a compatibility test or soulmate prediction?
No. There is no compatibility percentage, good-or-bad relationship score or soulmate verdict. Astrological interpretation is symbolic entertainment, not a scientifically validated assessment. Consent, safety and real-life behavior matter more than a chart.
Are my birth details shared with AI or analytics?
The standard report is calculated in your browser. Names and birth details are not sent to an application server, placed in URLs or saved by the app. The private comparison page is excluded from analytics. A separate, clearly labeled owner-only AI test uses derived contacts, never birth details.
How is this different from sun-sign compatibility?
A sun-sign comparison considers only the Sun signs. With both birth times supplied, Us & Stars compares the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn across two charts. This version does not calculate houses, rising signs, transits or a composite chart.
