Compatibility and synastry readings

Synastry, composite, and which one you want

These are two different techniques and astrologers price them differently, so it is worth knowing which you are asking for before you look at listings.

• Synastry — the two charts laid against each other, aspect by aspect. It describes the dynamic between two specific people: what one person's Venus does to the other's Saturn, and what that tends to feel like from each side.
• Composite — the two charts mathematically merged into a single third chart, read as though the relationship itself were a person with its own temperament.
• Both together — the common full reading, and the one most worth the money if you are buying only one. Synastry says how you meet; composite says what the thing between you is like.

The data it takes, and whose it is

A synastry reading needs date, exact time and place of birth for both people. Time matters as much here as it does for a natal chart: without it the houses and the angles are guesswork, and half of what synastry has to say about daily life is in the houses.

Which raises the part most listings skip. The second set of birth data is not yours. Ask the other person before you commission the reading. Most astrologers on Divina will ask you whether you have, and some will decline the work if the answer is no — not as a formality, but because a reading commissioned about someone who does not know it is happening is a different thing from a reading two people buy together.

Divina lists protective, healing and intention-positive work only. Nothing baneful, nothing coercive, and nothing worked to bend another person's will.

What it will not tell you

It will not tell you whether to stay, whether they are cheating, whether they will come back, or when. An astrologer reading synastry can say that a pairing has a hard Saturn contact and describe what that tends to demand over time. They cannot read another person's private conduct off a chart, and no practitioner on Divina may claim to.

The useful version of the question is not "are we compatible" — charts do not score. It is "what does this pairing keep running into, and what does each of us tend to do when it does". That is a reading somebody can actually write, and one you can act on.

What it costs and what you receive

Two charts is roughly twice the work of one, and the pricing reflects it: a focused synastry reading generally runs $30 to $60, against $25 to $40 for a single natal chart. The price and the delivery window are both on the listing before you commit. You receive the written reading, and depending on the listing, the chart images and an audio or video walkthrough.

How commissioning works

You describe your intention in your own words, pay when you place the request, and a private chat opens with the practitioner. They perform the work inside the delivery window stated on the listing and share proof when it is done.

Proof is evidence the work was performed, not evidence that it worked: the written reading itself, a photo of the spread or the altar, a recording, or a description of what was done and when.

Both sets of birth data go to the practitioner performing the work and nowhere else. Every practitioner is hand reviewed before their shop goes live, and Divina takes 10% of completed orders — the astrologer keeps the rest and sets the price you see.

No practitioner on Divina may guarantee an outcome, and none of this is a substitute for medical, legal, financial or mental health care.
