Putting two charts side by side cannot tell you whether a relationship will last. It can give you words for what flows easily between you and what rubs. Here is what the system looks at, with numbers measured on 1,000 random pairs.
The 4 possible links between two charts
We go through each of the 36 channels and check who holds which part:
- The spark (electromagnetic channel): each of you has one gate of the channel, and the channel only exists when you are together. The system sees it as a source of attraction, and of friction too.
- The ground to negotiate (compromise): one of you has the whole channel, the other only one of its gates. The one who has it all tends to lead.
- What one brings (dominance): one of you has the whole channel, the other none of its gates. The other one discovers that theme through them.
- Common ground (companionship): you both have the whole channel. You work the same way on that theme.
What the numbers say
We paired 2,000 random births into 1,000 pairs and calculated their links with our engine:
- 96% of pairs have at least one spark. On average a pair has 3, with about as many compromise links and links where one person brings the theme.
- Common ground is rare: 0.35 channels per pair on average.
- Alone, a person has 4.8 defined centers out of 9 on average. Together, a pair has 7.9. In 58% of pairs, at least one center is defined only when both are together.
- All 9 centers defined together: 33% of pairs. Eight out of nine: 35%. Seven: 22%. Six or fewer: 10%.
The honest conclusion: almost every pair has sparks. Having many or few says nothing about how solid a relationship is. These links help you spot themes worth talking about.
What the system says about centers defined together
When all nine centers are defined together, the pair tends to be self-contained, with little room for friends or time alone. When two or three stay open, the bond leaves more air and the people around you count for more. Either way, these are tendencies to watch, with no right or wrong answer.
Pick one spark in your pair on the compatibility tool. For a week, each of you notes the moments when that theme created momentum and the moments when it rubbed. On Sunday, swap notebooks. Talk about your half of the link instead of the other person’s.
What to avoid
- Choosing or leaving someone because of a chart.
- Using the other person’s type as a reproach (“that’s your Manifestor side”).
- Looking for the ideal chart before meeting someone. Couples who work come in every combination.
