( Work in progress )

The composite chart is the chart of a relationship, and is derived by taking the mathematical midpoints between each person’s planets and points.

What does it show?

It shows the nature of the relationship, two natal charts as a blended entity, and it can give a tremendous insight into the very basic meaning of the relationship.

How is it calculated?

Technically, composites are based on the (near) midpoints of all planets and points in both natal charts.

Where to make a composite chart?

You can make a composite chart here.

Because the composite chart has all the same features as a natal (birth) chart, we need to approach its interpretation in more or less the same way. We interpret 2 segments of a composite chart:

• house positions of planets
• planetary aspects

We don't interpret house positions of planets, because the composite chart is not a real chart (for example: there are no retrogrades).

Before we check the apects, we should overview the meaning of planets and houses in composite chart.

Planets:

• Sun

  A core identity or purpose.

• Moon

  Emotional responses and needs.

• Mercury

  Mode of communication.

• Venus

  Values and ideals.

• Mars

  Mode of expressing energy and will.

• Jupiter

  Way of growing and expanding.

• Saturn

  Innate limitations and defence mechanisms.

  Strive for change and progress.

• Neptune

  Innate aspirations.

• Pluto

  Survival instinct.

• Chiron

  Vulnerability.

• Ascendant or Rising Sign

  A "personality" which will express itself to the world outside.

• MC or Midheaven
