Friendship compatibility calculator
How do you two actually fit?
Two birthdays. 8 taps. One number.
No account, no photo. We don’t store your birthday on our servers.
Both your moons live in fire — when feelings hit, you both go deep before you go loud. Arguments between you end as conversations.
Three of six rows. The rest, the life paths and the part only Maya can finish are on your result.
How it works
A friendship compatibility calculator takes two birthdays and a few taps about how you and a friend are wired. It turns them into one number, a bond word and six rows. Ours runs on a small, fixed set of rules. No AI, no photos. Same inputs, same result, every time.
Your sun sign comes straight from the birthday. It gives each of you an element: fire, earth, air or water. The element pairing shapes the bond word and a few rows. Your moon sign is worked out from the birthday at noon. Some days it could be one of two signs. Friendly suns and moons warm the deeper rows and nudge the number up to 6 points. Your life path is the birthday's digits added down to one number. Bonding pairs (1 and 8, 2 and 6, 3 and 5) lift depth. The four taps are the biggest lever. Three (Head or Heart, Calm or Electric, Alone or With people) measure how close your everyday wiring is. The fourth (Need proof or I feel it) feeds only the trust rows. Your guesses for your friend count until they fix them.
How the score is built
Mostly how close your everyday wiring is across the three main taps, with a dash of spark. Spark is half how your sun and moon signs get along in the classic sky table. The other half is your element pairing: opposites score best, same element least.
Mostly that everyday-wiring closeness, blended with your element match. Sharing an element gives the biggest lift. Opposite elements get partial credit. Mixed pairs get the least.
The trust signal on its own. Half is how close you two tapped on Need proof or I feel it. The other half is your closeness on the three main taps. Birthdays do not touch this row.
An even mix of depth and trust. Depth is half how your moon signs get along and half whether your life paths make a bonding pair. Trust is the same signal used in Loyalty.
Half is your element match, with same best and opposite next. Half is how close you tapped on Alone or With people. Nothing else feeds it.
Half is whether your elements are opposites (fire with water, earth with air). Half is your everyday-wiring closeness. It likes pairs who differ at the core but move through a day the same way.
Reading your number
Rare on paper. Most signals point the same way. Enjoy it, and still show up.
The common sweet spot. Plenty lines up, with a place or two that takes effort.
Solid ground, just not autopilot. The rows show where to lean in.
Different wiring. Built on purpose, and many great friendships start here. Never below 30.
Your element pairing plus how close the three main taps landed. Opposite elements give Sparks, Magnets or Slow-Burn. Same element gives Mirrors, Kindred or Echoes. Mixed gives Twin Minds, Weavers or Wildcards. Middle taps plus very friendly skies can bump the word up one step. Twin Flames needs 92 or more with opposite elements. It also needs a bonding life-path pair, or one sun sign matching the other's moon.
Elements at a glance
Every sun sign belongs to an element. Here is how the four pair up as friends — the same relations the score uses.
Same fuel, same pace. You read each other fast. Watch the shared blind spot.
Not twins, not opposites. Different speeds. It clicks once you sync on purpose.
Different wiring, friendly skies. Air feeds fire, so warm days come cheap.
Opposite wiring, real pull. You cover each other's blind spots. The skies call it a square, so say what you mean.
Different doors into the same room. Nothing is automatic, but it builds.
Same ground under you both. Little needs explaining. The rub is digging in at once.
Opposite wiring. One names the idea, the other builds it a house. You wake on different sides of the sky.
Different wiring, friendly skies. Earth holds water, so comfort runs downhill.
Different at the core, easy in the day. Fire warms what air moves.
Opposite poles, real charge. The friction is real and so is the traction.
Same wavelength from day one. Just do not both go quiet at once.
Different depths. Ask before you assume the quiet, and it clicks.
Opposite wiring, real pull. One feels the current, the other lights it. The skies call it a square, so spell things out.
Different core, friendly skies. Water pours, earth carries. Easy company, not a mirror.
Different rhythms. Line them up and the differences become the point.
Same tide table. You know each other's low days. The rub is the same low day, twice.

Questions
What is a friendship compatibility calculator?
A small tool that takes a few facts about two people and turns them into a score. Ours uses two birthdays and four taps, then fixed rules. A starting point for a chat, not a verdict.
Do I need my friend's exact birth time?
No. Sun sign and life path come from the date alone. The moon sign is worked out at noon, so some days it could be one of two signs. Close enough for a friendship read.
How is this different from zodiac compatibility?
Most zodiac pages compare two sun signs and stop. This one adds moon signs, life paths and four taps about how you operate. The taps carry the most weight, so two Leos can get very different numbers.
Does the date of birth really matter in friendship?
On paper, a little. In real life, how you show up matters more. That is why the taps move the number more than the birthdays.
Is the friendship calculator free?
Yes. The score, bond word, six rows, skies and numbers are all free on the web. The Palmy app adds a live palm scan and a daily line about you two. Both of you get 7 days of Plus when a friend joins through your link.
Which zodiac signs make the best friends?
In the classic sky table, fire gets along with air, and earth with water. Same-element pairs feel like home too. But here a close pair of taps can beat any sign pairing.
Can two incompatible signs still be best friends?
Yes, all the time. Signs are one small input. Opposite elements even score high on Good for each other. Different cores with a matching daily rhythm tend to grow each other.
What does a low score mean?
Your wiring looks different on paper. It does not mean the friendship is bad. Find the low row and use it as a talking point.
How accurate is the friendship compatibility test?
Honestly, it is simple rules on a handful of inputs. It cannot see how you treat each other. A fun mirror, not a measurement.
Can I use it for a roommate, coworker or sibling?
Sure. The friend view rewards close wiring, a shared element and social fit. That matters for anyone you spend real time with. Run it with anyone.
What this can and can’t tell you
This tool can show how two people's wiring lines up on paper, using the fixed rules above. It cannot see how you actually treat each other, and it does not know your history. A low number is not a verdict. A high number is not a promise. Real friendships are built in the showing up. For fun, not fate.

Palmy is in App Store review.
In the app your palm moves this number, and you two get one line every morning.
We’ll send this page — and the day it’s live. One email, no spam. We keep your email and the names on this page, not your birthday.
Palmy is for fun and talk, not advice. Nothing here predicts anything. We never take palm photos on the web.
