I've been playing around with both versions, and using a long-term relationship I've had as an experiment, which is handy.

The astro.com is startlingly accurate for me. Does anyone have any thoughts on this, disagree, similar experiences, etc.. ?

MVM i taught myself astrology and chart casting by using the people i knew best - long term friends, family, in-laws, couples i know, etc. the composites seem to work 95% of the time, and the other 5% could well be down to me not having all the info.

i have mentioned one example elsewhere here - my ex and i, whose synastry is amazing (good and bad!) but whose composite perfectly describes our daughter. we were together 3 years before she was born, our first split happened before she was three, the final one when she was 7 (a lot of uranian energy) but the interesting thing is that our composite has its sun EXACTly on her moon, its moon EXACTLY on her sun, the ascendant is exactly on her venus, and it goes on down every single point on her chart!

to say the purpose of our relationship might have been to have her would be a reasonable assumption. though we are soulmates we were destined not to stay together, too much uranus there! but we managed to have a great kid and pretty much cooperate on raising her. we divorced when she was 18 after exactly 18 years of marriage...

The only thing that seems to bring consistent results are a comparision of the natal charts and synastry.

i am nearly 60, she 25. the chart's birthdate is in 1966. how do i progress the chart of a 25 year relationship when its starting point is 42 years ago??

The same way anyone else would for any other relationship. Remember, people don't automatically meet when they're born, but they meet sometime afterwards. The Davison is set for a time inbetween two births, so the younger one in the relationship won't have been born yet. This makes the time of the first meeting to be very important and is what effectively "activates" a Davison.

also, the birthtime on this chart is almost the same as mine, even though OUR birthtimes are 5 hours apart...??

the synastry is remarkable in its lack of contacts between her birthchart and the davison...there IS one major conjunction to MY natal IC...

Think beyond aspectual contact and consider receptions, too. Those are always interesting.

I'm assuming you set it with astro.com, right? Anyway, there's this little thing called "Time zones". So, if you were born in NY at 3:15pm, it isn't the same 3:15pm that's experianced in Las Angeles (being four hours behind). So, the L.A. 3:15pm would be the NY 7:15pm. So, it's not close to your birthtime at all.

and if i am going to progress it at all i need to create a chart with a birthtime and place. what city is in the middle of the atlantic ocean???????!!

You don't need a town. You just need the latitude and longitude that it's set at. But, you can't use astro.com (as they make it mandatory to put in a town), so you'd have to go and get another astrology program. Astrolog is excellent for stuff like that. It's got a whole lot of stuff in it. @.@ It's overwhelming.

Senshi...I am sure once I become a little more educated on this subject, I will be able to grasp more of what you're talking about. All I have for now though is an observation from personal experience. And granted, while the regular composite works for my ex and I, it may not work for another relationship. Again, it's all just taking time to become more familiar with the stuff.

Oh, of course, I understand completely. If it'll help, I'll post a Davison chart between my fiance and myself and sort of go over it lightly to show how Davison charts are read. I'll even compare it through Progressions and Transits to when we first met, I don't believe I've ever looked at that before...could be interesting.

i took a look on our Davidson and compared it to some important events.
Heres is what i have found:

Davidson versus the DayWeMet:

- Sun conj NN
- Moon trine P.F.
- vENUS CONJUNCT vx
- Kiron cj Ceres
- Saturn opose Ceres
- Pluto cj Pluto
- NN cj Moon
- P.F. cj Kiron
- VX cj Juno 0º
- Juno cj 12thCusp
- Karma cj VX
- Karma trine karma/kiron
- Valentine trine NN
- DSC cj Sun

it seems that this comparison indeed shows the relationship´s "purpose".
