A Composite Chart is an Astrology chart of
two individuals. These charts can be prepared
for any two people; however, most people commissioning these charts are couples
in a marital or personal relationship.
Composite Charts are prepared in a similar
manner as a natal chart but the Composite chart uses midpoints. The midpoints of each planet and angle from
both charts are used to create a new chart.
It is imperative that each person has accurate birth information. Many websites offer a free service to do the
mathematics involved to calculate the midpoint.
Midpoints are the half the exact distance
between two planet. Composite charts, for
example, take the Sun location from both peoples’ chart, calculate the distance
between both Sun locations and then divide that distance by two. With this calculation, the shortest distance between
the planets is used (less than 180 degrees apart from one another).
Please see our previous post on Midpoints as
we examined these in further detail. www.holmastrology.com/apps/blog/show/44609802-midpoints-in-astrology
When preparing a Composite Charts, the
midpoints are always calculated with the same planets, luminaries and
angles. So the midpoint would be
calculated between the two Suns, the two Moons, the two Mercury planets and so
on. This extends into the midpoint of
the two Ascendants as well as the two Midheavens, for example.
Once these are all calculated, there will
be a new chart (Composite Chart) created from the exact midpoints of all the
planets and the Ascendant and Midheaven.
It should be noted that transits can also
be used in the Composite chart.
Composite Charts will define the relationship
between two people and is interpreted as a natal chart, using the aspects
between the planets and angles, the houses and so forth.
If, for example, Mercury in the composite
chart has a lot of challenging aspect to it, (an opposition from the Moon, a
square from Mars, a square from Pluto, a square from Uranus and a conjunction
to Saturn), we would expect that these two individuals would have challenging
conditions linked to communication especially if the third house was involved. There could be challenges connected with
aggressive dialogue causing arguments and disagreements. One or the other could feel emotionally
distant from the other or they could have difficulty getting their point
across. This goes a lot deeper but with
this little bit of information, it is apparent the aspects between planets is
similar to aspects between natal planets.
The only variation being that deciphering the information in the Composite
chart is relative to two people and their relationship instead of only one individual.
As mentioned, transits can be incorporated
into this chart and the transits would tell the story of what is taking place
currently in the relationship of these two people. Much can be learned by the study of a
Composite chart including which energies are at work, how long the energies
might influence the relationship and what areas of life are involved.
A Composite Chart is a chart within itself,
but speaks about the energies between the two people involved.
