Does anyone else swear by the Dual Cosmodyne Synastry Calculator on Astrowin.org? It has shocked me at times when I was so certain that a certain guy and I would be incompatible and I was proved so d*mn wrong. Case in point: I was certain I would have a low incompatible score with someone and I turned out to be completely wrong; we had a dual cosmodyne score 157.66! I've never been able to find another chart that fits that well (too bad he was already taken by a chick who had a 2.12 dual cosmodyne score with him lol).

I found this statistical analysis on synastry and cosmodyne scores extremely interesting. Out of the 224,324 couples matched from nine different countries a whopping 86,878 were considered "discordant" or incompatible; the number of discordant couples was higher than the number of compatible couples which is odd... How are there so many seemingly discordant couples married and yet tons of people who are perfectly compatible end up breaking up after a month and never speaking to each other again?

I guess the sun's move into Gemini has triggered me to want to write.

I would say that the tool seems to be practically useless.

No, it's a lot easier than Astro.com because you don't have to click and cut and paste. It's easy to print. It did seem to miss a lot though and not give proper weight. Seemed very pessimistic in general where aspects can be neutral or 50/50. It gave us a 34. It doesn't take a LOT into account, for sure but I'd never call it useless. It only listed two Pluto aspects and we have a bunch more than.

Yeah I remember doing my best friend and I and get a -5 score which is weird considering we've been friends for over fifteen years haha.

You stated why it doesn't work. A massive number of couples that are together are considered discordant. A person you got a great score with is with a person that they have a terrible score with.

If the tool cannot be used accurately then what use is the tool?

You're giving more and more evidence that this tool is useless. Your friend of 15 years is given a -5 by this calculator. If you were to have consulted this calculator before becoming friends with this person you would think you would never have such a long friendship with them.

The results contradict the information so the information is at fault.

You are suggesting that the calculator gives the correct answer while reality gives an incorrect one. Flip your perspective. Isn't it more likely that the calculator gives the incorrect answer while reality gives the correct one?

Don't get sassy with me. Excuse you you've only been here ONE month. No need to be a b*tch!

Kore,

I agree with your asessment.
I have been checking cosmodynes pretty regularly over a few years. And it was a hit-and-miss, though most of the times it failed, and hence it is not a reliable tool to asess the duration of a relationship.

I donīt think you have been sassy either, you just pointed out that the tool doesn`t reflect the reality of couples, and hence does not work as a tool for analyzing relationships, at least not reliably.

When I came across it, I thought it was a great idea actually, just it didnīt work.

Ceri,

Thank you.

How wonderful would it be if the calculator did work though? Everything would be much simpler!

It doesn't work. It just lists all the stressful aspects as 'bad' or 'negative' but as we all know this is not the case. Those so called bad aspects produce attraction. If there would be only trines and sextiles there would be no place to grow.

I've checked several relationships there, and the best i have - has a score of -51 Yet we are totally in love with each other and see no flaws. We also have similar life views and values, no clashing there.

And someone with whom i had a great score - well, i couldn't care less.

All in all, i think, compatibility is overrated. Everyone's needs are different. This calculator doesn't even take into account basic things like house overlays, signs these planets are in, etc. Just the plain aspects and that couldn't possibly lead anywhere.
