I don't think a chart determines the person. A chart indicates a person's talents and can suggest directions they can go, but it does not determine the person. Similarly there are a lot of possibilities out of even the most challenging composite chart. The result depends on what BOTH people want to make of the relationship. With Cancer (home, also emotions) emhpasized, there may be a strong attachment to the home, strong feelings, hugging...or a lot of home issues and hurt feelings! It all depends on how the couple USES their energy together.

Free-willing,

Since the Composite Chart is the 3rd entity in the relationship, it would depend on each individual and how comfortable it will make them feel. If one of the persons is a Scorpio/Taurus type, they probably would NOT feel comfortable in a Composite with a Sun, Moon, Merc, Venus, Asc in GEMINI. Do you see that? Because something about what happens in the relationship dynamic creates a looseness that a Scorpio/Taurus would not be able to deal with. It could be that the other person who makes up the same Composite is ALSO in need of a more stable type relationship as well. Could be they BOTH want that, but their combined Natal energies may somehow create a Composite which doesn't give either something to sink their teeth into.

You have to look at the Composite as if it were a separate personality, then look at each Natal one at a time to see how comfortable they would be.

Having a Composite with Venus in Gemini or Aquarius probably means that in order for the relationship to work, both persons need to feel secure with a certain degree of sexual (or flirtatious) freedom. Maybe it's just the ticket. Maybe it's a deal breaker.

I know of someone I have a Composite Sun & Moon in Cancer with, and it's interesting. When we are together we BOTH feel as if we are able to refuel completely. It's NOT the type of relationship which makes you feel drained, even if there's a lot of chaos about.

The Composite doesn't the "theme" of the relationship necessarily, because you always have to consider each Natal involved. So it's not that it would mean there would be kids, etc. For that, I think Synastry is more telling, like if one of you has a lot of Planets in the other's 4th House.

But if one of the Natal persons is extremely freedom-loving, all that Cancer might make them feel stifled when you are together, even though they can't quite figure out why, it just feels that way.

Hope that helps.
