If you want to find out more about your current relationship, or see how you and a prospective mate "match up", a StarMatch Compatibility Report is just what you need! This 30 page report compares two charts by delineating each person’s Descendant, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars, and then interpreting the mutual house placements and the interaspects between both charts. The report assesses the interaction by describing the areas of attraction, harmony, and conflict. Although romantic in nature, the report is free of gender-bias. Here is a sample from the StarMatch Compatibility Report for Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor:

Richard's Sun in Scorpio

Life is an intense experience for you, and you need to express your passion in all that you do. You go for either all or nothing in your relationships (nothing in between) and won't hesitate to let your partner know this. You can be very persuasive and seductive, and you should resist the temptation to use sex to get your way. But your deepest wish is for a long-term commitment, and you can be just as intensely loving and loyal as you are jealous and possessive.

Your love relationships may be somewhat turbulent, and fights in Scorpio relationships are quite common. You may have a tendency to dig deep into your partner's psyche to reveal their darkest secrets, and they may feel they are being constantly probed. Those who enter into relationships with you will not emerge without going through a transformation. You need a partner who can withstand the intensity of your emotions and your sexuality.

Elizabeth's Sun in Pisces

You are strongly devoted to the one you love, and no sacrifice is too great to make for them. Because you are so sensitive, you can physically tune in to your lover's frequency and anticipate their needs. Love is a spiritual experience to you, and you appreciate a mate who understands and preferably shares this perspective.

Be sure to insist that your needs are also met in relationships; don't become a sacrificial lamb to your partner. You need a partner who is grounded and earthy, one who can provide stability and practicality to the relationship. Be careful not to overidealize your lover. Try to see them as they really are.

Richard's Moon in Virgo

It is important to you that your lover be faithful, and you should let them know this. There is nothing wrong with letting your needs be known--as a matter of fact, it is important. Just don't overdo it and become compulsively possessive. You can be of great assistance to your partner in times of need; just be sure your advice is welcomed before you give it, otherwise it will not be heard.

Elizabeth's Moon in Scorpio

You probably have carried over some emotional scars from your childhood and are very clever at hiding your emotions from others. The truth is that you are extremely sensitive and can be downright secretive about your feelings, which makes it somewhat difficult for you to enter serious relationships.

Richard's Venus in Capricorn

You are attracted to people who are practical, persevering and accomplished. Some with this Venus position marry for money or status, and they certainly recognize true value in a partner when they see it. Security is very important to you--both emotionally and materially. You seek quality in your relationships and will not settle for anything less.

Elizabeth's Venus in Aries

Your nature is very intense, and you desire a direct and impulsive lover. Although you are romantic, you are not necessarily subtle. You seek immediate gratification of your needs--in effect, move in for the kill. If a potential lover shows no interest, you will not wait around until they do. You approach each new love with enthusiasm and joy, enjoying every moment for itself.

Elizabeth's Moon in Richard's 8th House

There is nothing lukewarm about this combination--you’ll either be very hot for each other, or not interested at all, depending on the overall compatibility between you. Either way, the two of you share a karmic bond and have similar interests in psychic or occult matters. People with this combination often share finances in some way, perhaps through an inheritance or joint ownership due to marriage. If the Moon is well-aspected in Elizabeth's natal chart, and the comparison is mostly a positive one, you could build a successful business together, especially in the areas of real estate, food, farming or home products. Such a business may involve one or both of your families. If your comparison is a difficult one (or if Elizabeth's Moon is heavily afflicted natally), you may have trouble trusting each other and dividing jointly-held assets could be problematic.

Richard's Mercury square Elizabeth's Mercury

There is a tendency here to criticize each other. This combination can be difficult to work with in romance unless other aspects provide the missing element of companionship. There is a danger of disagreements and misunderstandings-- and of course this is exacerbated by one or both partners taking a stubborn position. You must each learn to compromise with the other in order to achieve harmony.

Richard's Mercury square Elizabeth's Neptune

This aspect indicates frequent misunderstandings and even possibly deception, especially by Elizabeth. At the very least, there will be many secrets that Elizabeth will not share with Richard. It's possible you may out and out lie to each other, or that more subtle forms of deception will be practiced. Richard is often at a loss to understand Elizabeth, and Elizabeth may seem distant or detached to Richard. This combination is more difficult on Richard than Elizabeth. In a business relationship there is a danger of fraud.

Elizabeth's Sun opposite Richard's Moon

This aspect between you indicates the presence of a power struggle, with Elizabeth attempting to dominate Richard. There is a strong attraction between you, but it is not necessarily a lasting one. If other aspects indicate longevity in your relationship, perhaps you will be able to turn this power struggle into a friendly competition that keeps you both on your toes.

Richard's Jupiter square Elizabeth's Uranus

You bring out the radical side in each other, and this aspect also encourages recklessness and resistance to responsibility in one or both individuals. The aspirations and ideals of Richard will conflict with the impersonal attitudes and idealistic ideas of Elizabeth, and Elizabeth may resort to erratic action to break up Richard's air of complacency, provoking Richard into behaving unwisely. Elizabeth will seem rebellious, inconsistent or unstable to Richard, and Elizabeth may interrupt the plans of Richard and try Richard's patience.

Richard's Mars square Elizabeth's Saturn

Richard may find Elizabeth frustrating and may become angry and impatient. Richard irritates and disrupts the constructive plans and efforts of Elizabeth, thus causing Elizabeth to feel insecure. There are many problems with adjustment with this aspect. However, if Richard can learn to listen to the counsel of Elizabeth, Richard may be saved from the consequences of rash and reckless actions, although Richard may not appreciate this at the time.

Richard's Mercury square Elizabeth's Mars

With this aspect there is frequently misunderstanding, arguments, or even physical violence. Although cooperation is the one most difficult thing to achieve between you, you will grow a great deal in learning to compromise in order to achieve it. Elizabeth's qualities are at times irritating to Richard, who may be quick to become angry. Both of you should avoid a tendency to tell the other what they should do with their life.

Elizabeth's Moon trine Richard's Uranus

Your relationship has an unusual quality about it, which you both find very stimulating. Richard can help Elizabeth in unexpected ways by awakening and inspiring new ideas in Elizabeth. Elizabeth's imagination can stimulate Richard's originality and versatility. There is certainly a very strong attraction between you, although you may find that circumstances dictate that you be separated from time to time. This is actually the healthiest thing for your relationship--constant excitement and stimulation can itself become boring.

Richard's Venus square Elizabeth's Midheaven

If you attempt to share a household, there will be many differences of opinion between you as to how to handle joint finances. This is not a good combination for business partners. Richard sees Elizabeth as being demanding and exploitative. Elizabeth considers Richard lazy and irresponsible. Cooperation between you is difficult at best.

Richard's Moon opposite Elizabeth's Mars

This aspect can produce a serious personality conflict. There is a strong attraction and mutual stimulation, but there is an equally strong adverse emotional reaction. Elizabeth can be rude or abrupt toward Richard, and Richard tends to be hypersensitive to the impulsiveness of Elizabeth's actions. Some facets of Elizabeth's personality may irritate Richard, such as a lack of consideration and tolerance. Elizabeth needs to practice more self-restraint and patience with Richard, who in turn must try not to be so overly sensitive.

Elizabeth's Mars opposite Richard's Neptune

This aspect can be a source of emotional disruption between you. Elizabeth is abrupt and impatient; Richard is elusive or deceptive in response to Elizabeth's pushiness. It is likely that there will be many misunderstandings and disagreements between you. If Richard is very sensitive, Elizabeth's aggression could upset the health of Richard. This is not a favorable aspect between partners in a love relationship.
