The six fates, explained in one sitting

Chemistry, Soul, Intellectual, Resonance, Team, Lifestyle — what each one measures, what it doesn't, and which two matter most in month one.

Every match on Unfate is scored across six fates. None of them is "the real one" — they measure different things, and a couple can be strong in one and weak in another.

Chemistry reads attraction placements: does the spark exist on paper. Soul looks at emotional depth — Moon and inner-planet connections that predict whether you feel understood. Intellectual covers how you argue, joke, and process ideas together. Resonance is a general harmony read across both charts, the closest thing to a gut-feel number. Team measures how you'd function under pressure — bills, moves, bad weeks. Lifestyle covers day-to-day habits: pace, social needs, how you spend a Sunday.

Early on, Chemistry and Resonance tend to carry the relationship — they're what makes someone worth a second date. Team and Lifestyle matter more in year two, once you're left with logistics.

None of the six predicts an outcome. They describe compatibility of pattern, not guarantee of result. What you do with a high or low score is still entirely up to you.
