Your rising sun sign, also called your ascendant or the seventh house, is usually on the left side of your natal chart. It will contain the symbol of your rising sign, which may be any of the zodiac signs. Once you figure out your own rising sign, you can use it to learn more about who you might fall in love with.^{[3]

Research the sign that’s opposite your seventh house. The sign that’s opposite your own rising sign is the one you’re most compatible with. For instance, if your rising sign is Pisces, then you’re most compatible with Virgos. Opposites attract, and your natal chart will definitely reflect that.^{[4]

If you and your partner are compatible, your Mars and Venus will be within 10 or so degrees of each other. For instance, if your Mars is 15 degrees, your partner’s should hopefully be from 10 degrees to 20 degrees.
The closer the degrees are in your charts, the more likely it is that you will find love with this person. As you look for a date, ask to see their natal chart and then compare your Mars and Venus degrees. Chances are, the person you end up with will have their Mars and Venus very close to yours.

Compare your north node dates to someone else's dates. The closer they are together, the more likely it is that you two already have a connection. Many astrologers believe that when you share the same nodes as someone else, you have an inherent spiritual connection with them.^{[7]

my crush's venus degree is 4.09° and mine is 10.35° and her taurus degree is 21.24° and mine is 21.31° are we still compatible

Community Answer

The answer is very complicated if not impossible. There are many, many ways to compare two horoscopes, and they all play a part in determining compatibility. If you are deeply attracted to her, that's much more important than any particular aspect of your charts.
