A Davison chart is a composite that instead of using the midpoints of two people's natal charts, it calculates the midpoint BIRTH CHART, in other words, the birthday that falls in the midpoint betw. 2 people's birthdays.

It is supposed to be very revealing -- and not always what you expect to see. It's not necessarily a confirmation of the regular composite, but something totally new.

I my case for instance, it turns out now that instead of a Sun and Moon trine in synastry and a Sun Moon conjuction in the composite, I now have a Sun and Moon square with my friend which supposedly means basic incompatibility, and the two people moving in different directions, unless there are strong favorable factors in the rest of the chart.

Any ideas, anyone? You can btw. choose the Davison chart at astro.com.

You can read about Davison here: http://www.bobmarksastrologer.com/relationshipdavidson26.0.htm

If you scroll down you'll see that he also talks about event Davison charts, something I am hugely interested in and am experimenting with it right now.

Exciting, isn't it? Always something new...

do you by any chance know any sites that can interpret the findings?

But I've also found that the mid-point composite does, too. (Quick Example: Our Sun and Moon are both in the 4th and we're married - and got so fairly quickly.) The Sun? Aquarius. The Moon's Pisces. We then have Mars in Pi in the 5th and Venus in Gem in the 7th. Once again, Mars and Uranus seem to play a fairly large role (and're in a T-Square w/ the Sun - wheee!) and we have our Sat & Jup in the 11th. Hm, and another of those Trine/Sextile/Sextile things, but w/ PlutoTSunSUranus. We do have the benefit of a lovely Merc in the 3rd.

Our synastry's fun - mostly "red lines", quite a few t-squares. It's safe to say that we, er, "excite" each other. It's also safe to say that we need to channel that energy constructively or we get on each other's nerves.

Do you see the NN and SN of your Davison and mid-point comps playing out?

If so, how?

Ours for both: 1d Leo in the 9th

Hm, that's interesting: My individual Moon's @ 1d Aqua in the 3rd, his Sun's @ 1d Aqua in the 3rd.
Wonder how that'll turn out?

Does that mean we'll have to move away from "ourselves" for this relationship to work?
(Something that might not be too terribly odd - with my Pisces Sun/Aqua Moon and his Aqua Sun, we're both...not ourselves to be ourselves, if that makes any sense at all.)
Or will we have to move away from this relationship for us to work?

Many thanks to anyone who has any insight

My husband and I have been using this chart for about 2 years. The way that this chart is put together gives an actual day, time and, location therefore, it is very much the birth chart of the energy created by the individuals involved. This energy is unique to the particular individuals involved, as well. I favor this chart, to the Composite, because of the actual planetary placements in the 'birthday' , it can be used to do progressions and, transits... the Composite can only be used as it is. I am going to try making one using an event, as you said Loggerhead... sounds interesting I love these charts, so glad to see the excitement shared

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by "not sure where to pull up the list on astro.com as I was just looking at the chart wheels." ??

As for the Davison being completely different from the regular composite - that's because it's completely different data, not the midpoints of each person's planet, but a whole new chart of a different date and place. What you are probably asking is, which one is more valid? Only you can answer that question.
