Direct answer
BaZi compatibility compares two Four Pillars structures and active luck cycles. Western synastry compares planets, houses, and aspects across two natal charts. Neither can determine whether a relationship will succeed.
What each system compares
BaZi can compare Day Master functions, Day Branch context, Five Element exchange, Ten God roles, and timing. Synastry compares planetary contacts, house overlays, aspects, and sometimes composite charts.
Why one score loses important context
A score hides which question is being asked. Romantic partnership, friendship, work, care, money, autonomy, and conflict repair require different evidence. A transparent comparison shows the contributing factors.
The relationship still happens in real life
Consent, safety, communication, shared values, observed behavior, and repair matter more than symbolic compatibility. Use a chart comparison to prepare a conversation, not to replace one.

Frequently asked question
Can BaZi and synastry agree about a relationship?
They can surface similar themes, but the evidence comes from different symbolic systems. Agreement can prioritize a conversation; it cannot prove compatibility.
