Because astrology factors in the intuition of its practitioner, different astrology experts will have different opinions on what the stars may hold for you. And if you care not only about what the heavens hold in store for you, but also for your partner, things get even more complicated. The same guidelines for heavenly interpretation always hold, but different practitioners may differ in the details.
For example, here are some astrology compatibility charts from different websites. You'll see that even while the practitioners are mostly in agreement, the astrology compatability tables do have some small differences. Some of these differences come from different readings of the stars, some of them come from different ideas how good a relationship has to be to be "good", and some of the differences just come from different ideas of what makes a good relationship in the first place. Some people really want a steady, predictable relationship, while others think that compatability comes from tension and that hot spark of attraction.

And finally, there is an intricate color-coded grid at http://www.cafeastrology.com/articles/signcompatiblitygrid.html.
Astrologer 1 further differentiates Astrologer 2's "Compatible signs" into separate categories of "Easy" and "Very Easy". Astrologer 2 has the additional category of "Incompatible", but merely lists the opposite sign, whereas Astrologer 1 specifies that the opposite sign will result in a complicated relationship. Astrologer 3 mostly agrees with Astrologer 2, but with an even more detailed breakdown.
As you can see, different astrologers can be in rough agreement over most signs' compatability, while still leaving room for them each to apply their individual interpretations. So if you don't like one astrologer's interpretation of you and your partner's astrology compatability, you have two options: (1) learn the stars yourself so you can pinpoint exactly what you're looking for in a relationship, or (2) find a new astrologer!
