Does anyone use them?

I don't know much about them or what they represent. How would one use a davison chart in conjunction with the synastry and composite charts?

So synastry is basically how we will affect one another, our personal interaction.

The composite is calculated by finding the midpoint between the position of the planets in each natal chart and represents the relationship itself as an entity...

And the Davison chart is calculated by finding the actual midpoint in time between both times/dates of birth and is used primarily for... ?

How does this differ for you from a composite chart? I'm glad the question was asked because I've been wondering about this. Also glad someone knows what it is!

Basically, it comes down to the time/space factor. The composite chart finds the midpoint between the 2 Sun's, Moon's, Merc's, etc, etc... but, the resulting placements, are not actual planetary placements..... meaning that the sky was never actually, aligned in that way. The Davison chart find's the midpoints but, in time/space factors as well.... this results in a date, which gives an actual alignment, one that did occur. God, I hope that is understandable...? I still have'nt grasped the full details of time/space factors but, I do know that the Davison Chart is unique for that reason, as it can then be used for looking at transits and progressions... it IS a real chart.

Could I bother you with another question? How do you use/interpret this differently than you would a composite? Or do you personally simply reject the composite.

Yeah, personally, I never do much with the Composite Chart but, it must serve some purpose, .... it just happens to elude me! I am still fairly green in astrology but, it never ceases to amaze me. My Hubby and I have our Davison Chart saved to our astro.com database. We even gave us a name; Librani. Kinda funny, as our Sun happens to be placed in Aquarius! We're in the Photo's now... Librani1...

I did find some interesting bits, looking at both the Davison and our Composite a few days ago. Our Composite Sun is 12 Leo( this also is the degree of my Dad's Sun/Pluto/Saturn Stellium..is that right?..)
Anyway, in our Davison the Part of Fortune is at 12 Leo.... What it means? Not the slightest idea but, very cool nonetheless and, only one of a few.

I wish I could be more helpful.... Hubby gets it so much better than I...

I compared our composite with our Davison and I have a theory, though it may be flimsy. As a couple you present an image to the outside world, and what really goes on between two people may be entirely different from what external appearances would indicate. For us, it looks like our composite very much reflects our external image... as in how others see us as a couple. The Davison seems to reveal the reality of the relationship. If you get a chance, peek at your composite and let me know if this rings true for you, too. This is just a guess from a brief examination.

I, so, do not think that your theory is, in any way, flimsy!! In fact, it rings a bell somewhere, for me. Anyhoo! I posted Librani in the photo shop, that being our Davison, I am still getting the Composite together to post it too. In our Composite, the Sun is in Leo 9th House. The 9th/3rd Houses are, also, intercepted, which matches my natals. As I had said before, that Leo Sun is, exactly, conjunct my Dad's Sun/Pluto/Saturn stellium and, yes all 3, well 4 with ours, are at the same degree; 12. My Dad was, very involved, as I am the poster child of the 'Daddy's Girl'... So, that would seem to run with your theory, in a sense, don't you think? As far as the Davison, the Sun is positioned in an Aquarian 8th House and, if the orb is not to far out, it is conjunct a 9th House Eros. Now, with this chart, the 11th/5th Houses are intercepted, the signs who are cusp-less being Taurus(11th)Scorpio(5th). Uranus, North Node and, Vertex, all in Scorpio. Though I cannot explain the how's and why's, I know I have read over the information and, this chart does fit us. I do love to be able to corrospond with those who share the enthusiasm in these and, yes, Hubby being equally interested, (and a much better info retainer), is a bonus. I love it!
