No, I seriously doubt it. I'd love to see a real solid example of that, if I'm wrong.Synastry is really key. That's where you'll see the real compatibilty (or lack thereof). I find that relying too much on a composite can be misleading. As Bob Marks pointed out, composite's simply aren't that reliable, and oreover, they're virtually useless on their own. What you have to do is look at how each person's natal chart relates to the composite, and see how each person is responding to the relationship itself. Then you have a better idea of what the relationships is like.

hmmm, actually I'm not sure...never say never though.Composites can't really be improved (or changed). It is the 'third entity'; the chart of the relationship itself. Synastry interaspects 'show' how two individuals interact with one another. What problems they may encounter between each other. Moon square Mercury interaspect between two individuals with some work can be improved (square= tension). However, in the composite it is less personal; as "A's" Moon is not squaring "B's" Mercury. Instead it is an aspect of the relationship itself...can't be changed. Some people (as I have seen 'googling' upon the web) note the composite as the 'final' outcome of the relationship; what one gets' out of it overall. Overall, I think that the longer a couple stays together...the more the composite starts to 'play' out. I don't think I helped much; I hope I made some sense...eh...lol. IP: Logged |

Ehhh...I dunno...I'm going to have to agree with Gemini on this one. In my experience, synastry is far more accurate then a composite chart, even when you're with someone for a while. I know a couple with great synastry, but a so-so composite (tons of oppositions, a few squares, conjunctions, and barely any sextiles or trines) and they've been together for a long time and are extremely happy together. But, I also don't think that square/oppositions in a composite should be seen as a bad thing....same with synastry- just means there's a lot of energy there and room to grow. But of course, if most of the synastry is squares and oppositions than that's a bad sign. IP: Logged |

Synastry -> how 2 people relate together, affect each other.. the affinity we can have with each other..Composite -> the environment, the relationship itself, the nest where holds the 2 people while they relate.. 2 people having good synastry but bad composite -> easy to relate with each other, but it seems so hard to maintain the relationship.. difficulty to get together, even if compatible.. 2 people having bad synastry but good composite -> the relationship seems to be happy and easy to maintain, and it feel comfortable, yet there might be lack of afinity sometimes..
In my opinion, a not-so-compatible synastry is easier to deal, as we can learn how to live together by adapting and learning with each other's way of being.. but if the relationship itself is hard (like hard to be together, to see each other, lotsa outside factors interfering - family, finances, culture differences..), then it becomes hard to form a relationship together.. but of course, it depends on how we see these things.. :P

"2 people having good synastry but bad composite -> easy to relate with each other, but it seems so hard to maintain the relationship.. difficulty to get together, even if compatible.."I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one. I don't think it's difficult for a couple to get together if they have a "bad" composite...the composite chart is supposed to be looked at when the couple IS together, not when they first meet...the synastry is the chemistry between the two. And I've been in relationships where the synastry is horrible and we have a great composite chart....and I'd definitely rather have great synastry anyday. I've been with my boyfriend for almost 2 years now and we have a wayyyyy better synastry chart than a composite.... and we haven't had any problems. I don't know, that's just my opinion.... I still get a little confused when it comes to composite charts.  IP: Logged |

I think it depends on why the synastry is considered bad. If there is a lack of close aspects (whether hard or easy ones) then there won't be much drawing the two people together in the first place, so a good composite wouldn't be much help. If there are a lot of aspects between the charts, including some difficult ones, a good composite might improve the odds of the people staying together because the relationship itself will benefit both individuals.I truly don't believe that any synastry is impossible to work through, even aspects traditionally considered difficult. It all depends on what the two people are after and what lessons in life they're here to learn. What seems like a positive synastry aspect for one couple may be troublesome for another... and what seems troublesome for one couple may contribute to the success of someone else's relationship. It all depends. Good and bad is all relative. IP: Logged |

I think this should be in Interpersonal Astrology..Does anyone have any insight or experience with this topic? The op's question is very broad, but I can add more specifically. Instead of overall bad synastry, whatabout just one or two challenges - like, idk, Moon square Pluto or notoriously dangerous, Saturn square Mars? If there's just a bit of an issue in the synastry, do you think that that it can be smoothed out when these aspects are rectified in the composite? Found this elsewhere though (note the Love Stellium):
"I vote Composite. The Composite is like a baby, an independent entity which is your relationship. My parents have a pretty difficult synastry situation, but wonderful composite.
They have Moon square Moon in synastry, Mars square Saturn in synastry..Sun square Sun in synastry...Sun semi-sextile Moon in synastry, Sun semi-sextile Moon in synastry(both ways), Mars conjunct Sun in synastry(a good aspect), Moon-Venus square Moon in synastry, but in their composite they have Sun-Moon-Mercury-Venus-Mars forming a stellium(all conjunct one another), and most of those planets trine Jupiter, and they've been together since forever..
They were classmates from grade 6 through 12, got married when they were 23-24, respectively, and are still together now, 3 kids later, at 60-61."
