The Cosmos Basic Compatibility Report

What did we order? the Cosmos Basic Compatibility Report

What did it cost? $8.97 with a known birthtime + $1.88 Taxes = $10.85

What did we get? When you order from AstrologySource, you first will be asked to pay via the ClickBank Secure Order Form. Again we had to pay taxes, though the Report is sent by email and there is NO single reason why they add taxes!

Seems to be a ClickBank-feature?!

Anyway, after submitting our online payment, we could enter the birth data of both partners.

However, entering the Country and State/Province of the first person failed. Oddly enough, we could only enter 6 characters!

We encountered no problems entering the birth data of the second person. After submitting this form, we got the message that our chart would be delivered by email within 24 hours.

Indeed, 24 hours later, we got 4 emails in our inbox. Our Cosmos Basic Compatibility Report was as a HTML-file attached in the first email.

In the second email our Report was imported in the email, in case we should encounter difficulties with the first email.

The third email contained in attachment a free natal Chart Wheel of the partner, and in the fourth email we found our own natal Chart Wheel in attachment.

The Chart Wheels were in a gif-format.

The Report was written by Deborah Browning and described the position of the respective Suns and Moons in the respective signs.

Then, we found the descriptions of the aspects from the Sun and the Moon of one partner to the planets of the other partner.

The Report ended with some other aspects between both horoscopes.

This Basic Compatibility Report is in fact a very general synastry report without mentioning the house positions, rulerships etc.

The Report was written in plain text, even if it was a HTML-file that can handle different layouts and styles.

Though, this was a simple and quite short synastry Report, the delineations of the different synastry aspects were really full of insight. They contained the essence of the aspects. It was fun to read these accurate and well-written interpretations.

Most of it was indeed to the point. In our humble opinion, some meanings were quite wrong, but that's always the case with computerized Reports that only take the aspects into account.

In fact, the aspects may be important, but it's just ONE small (very small) piece of the synastry-puzzle. Thanks to the inspiring texts one can get more interest in astrology.

The attached free Chart Wheels contained all necessary information so that you can understand the aspects in the Report.

These Chart Wheels are always very helpful and even beginners can start reading such Charts.

We found the Report too short and we were hungry for more.

Again, we found the additional taxes unfair, making the Report too expensive for what we got. Nevertheless, if you want to get some insight in your relationship, the content of this analysis by AstrologySource will not disappoint you.

The Advanced Compatibility Report

What did we order? The Advanced Compatibility Report

What did it cost? $13.97 with a known birthtime + $2.93 Taxes = $16.90

What did we get? When you order from AstrologySource, you first will be asked to pay via the ClickBank Secure Order Form. After submitting our online payment, we could enter the birth data of both partners.

Entering the Country and State/Province of the first person failed. Oddly enough, we could only enter 6 characters! When entering the birth data of the second person, we got the same problems...

After submitting this form, we got the message that our chart would be delivered by e-mail within 24 hours.

The first working day after we placed our order, we got 3 e-mails in our inbox.

Our Cosmos Basic Compatibility Report was attached in the first e-mail as a MSWORD-file.

The second e-mail contained in attachment a free natal Chart Wheel of the first partner, and in the 3rd e-mail we found the natal Chart Wheel of the second partner in attachment.

The Chart Wheels were in a gif-format.

After reading the introduction of the Advanced Compatibility Report, we were quite disappointed.

Haven't we read these sentences earlier in another report?

We checked this out and indeed this Advanced Compatibility report was the same we ordered as the Romantic Compatibility Report from astrology.com (ivillage).

However, before ordering, you should compare the price: $13.97 with a known birthtime + $2.93 Taxes for Europe = $16.90 from AstroloySource and $15.95 instead of $19.95 (20% off the regular price with a Coupon if you already have ordered other profiles and reports) from astrology.com (ivillage).

So, as you see, it pays to compare the price!

It's very understandable that the same computerized astrological Reports are delivered by different web sites.

However, this way, there is no (or not enough) differentiation in astrological content and techniques.

In our opinion, the different astrological web sites should be able to deliver astrological reports that are complementary to one another by using different techniques and content.
