Red Flag
Check 🚩
Spot potential compatibility issues before they become problems, based on sun signs, elements, and modalities.
Both People's Details
Red Flag Check reads two people's signs against each other, using the 12 signs, their four elements and three modalities. Ristara's engine returns the frictions that pairing tends to bring, its strengths, and questions worth asking early.
Frequently asked questions
They are the frictions a tradition associates with a particular pairing, such as two signs of clashing elements, or two cardinal signs that both want to lead. Ristara names them as tendencies to watch, each with a specific thing to notice rather than a verdict. Every reading also returns strengths, because a friction list alone is not an honest picture.
It is a starting point, not an assessment of a person. This tool works from signs, elements and modalities, which is a coarser reading than the full birth chart comparison in Ristara's Compatibility tool. Treat what it surfaces as questions worth asking, which is why every result includes a list of them.
Red Flag Check works from two signs; the Compatibility tool scores two complete birth charts across the 8 Ashtakoota factors out of 36. Red Flag Check needs only a birth date for each person, which is why it is quicker. The Ashtakoota reading is the more detailed of the two.
No. Red Flag Check works from birth dates alone. If you have full birth details for both people, the Compatibility tool reads the two charts across the 8 Ashtakoota factors instead. Details entered here are used for the computation and never appear on a public page.
