Many people may ask this question. However, too few know that astrology is more complex than merely what you may read in the newspapers. The newspapers only write on where the Sun is at your time of birth, but there are several other planets and points in space that influence a person's make up. With this in mind, it can be safely assumed that a horoscope love match can work.

The core belief in astrology is that the positions of the planets relative to the time and place of a person's birth can have an effect on what this person is like. They can also affect events and interactions between people. This is a powerful tool to understand how things can turn out based on probability.

From there, it is easy to see how astrology can apply to love and romance. As the question of love is one of the world's oldest, obviously astrologers have found ways to answer this question. In fact, there are several ways a horoscope love match can be made.

The most basic way that an astrologer can determine a love match is to compare the Sun Signs (the newspaper sign) of the two potential partners. If the pairing is harmonious, then the two may be considered a good match, assuming that they don't simply bore each other. If the pairing is stressful, they aren't considered to be a good match, though the pairing could be quite a passionate one.

Another, more complex, method would be to draw Natal Charts of the two potential mates, and compare the Signs that the planet Venus is in. By the same geometric rules as for the Sun Signs above, the pair's compatibility is measured. This is often considered to be more accurate, as Venus is the planet of love.

The absolute, most complete way to determine compatibility is to draw a Natal Chart for both partners, and compare the entirety of each chart with the other. Again, this follows the same rules of geometry previously mentioned, but this time it applies to all the planets. Obviously, this would require a lot of work on behalf of the astrologer, unless they had assistance from technology. Most modern astrologers make use of an astrology program to create charts and draw the comparisons.

In the way of compatibility, the Sun Sign comparison can show initial attractions and how well two people hit it off. The Venus placement can show how things develop from there as the two get to know one another. Finally, the complete comparison can show how the pair will last in the long haul. If just dating around is all you're interested in, the more superficial comparisons might be more your speed. However, if you're looking for a spouse or life partner, it is absolutely essential to know how the two of you will last. A full Comparison Chart can shed some light on this subject.
