# Shows if persons have similar (+) or dissimilar (-):

# Sun - life purposes
# Mercury - ways of thinking
# Venus - likes and dislikes
# Mars - styles of action

# Example (L. Taylor and R. Burton):

# $ python tandy_astro.py 1925 11 10 1932 2 27
# 1925 11 10 1932 2 27
# 8 12 +
# 9 12 -
# 10 1 -
# 7 12 -

# First two numbers are the signs for each planet: 1 = Aries,..., 12 = Pisces
# "+ - - -" -> The Sun matches, everything else not so much.
