so in my composite chart with someone we have the north node at 14 cap.

in may 2010 the north node will be at 14 cap. a transit that happens every 18 or so years.

my question is: can a theoretical place in a theoretical chart be affected by real transits?

Do you mean "can transits affect a composite chart's objects?"? If so, then the answer is yes.

The whole astrological system itself is theoretical. It's true that they use the real positions of the celestial objects in the sky, but this representation, as well as the whole symbolism are all theoretical, without any physical/scientific proof anyways. But we still use astrology coz it does seem to work in some way.

Each method's accuracy actually depends a lot on how capable an astrologer is to draw information from it. Some works better with synastry, some with Davison charts, while some prefers composite charts.
But well, composite charts are actually more than the "visible" aspects - the aspects to/between midpoints can be very relevant too (actually, midpoints in natal charts are also relevant too, even thought it's not very mentioned).

i can understand transits because there is an actual planet with energy passing over that point.

but a north node aligning with a composite north node feels very "wishful thinking" to me.

maybe just my skeptical aries side peeking out.
