It seems that the synastry will be good and the Comp not good or vice versa.

How do you reconcile this?

What do you say to a couple coming to you asking about their relationship.

I had a friend who showed me her synastry and it was outstanding. Her Comp was terrible.

I told her that the Comp would make ME take a step back.

She didn't but I would like to see what you all think about this subject.

In our composite chart we both shared jupiter conjunct leo asc exact and moon conjunct dsc exact.

Also sun conjuncts mercury and venus in aries.

The only reason we're not living together is because of life and work etc.

We plan on getting an apartment together next year.

My natal chart is troublesome so any of those aspects in my composite don't bother me. Ones I do not have natally seem to make more of an impact.

I think the two are important.
Our synastry is okay too.
Personally find composite charts more revealing when things get serious.

Interesting, K. Thanks for your input!

My natal chart is troublesome so any of those aspects in my composite don't bother me. Ones I do not have natally seem to make more of an impact.

Also - I think chart ruler in composite is underrated from my experience. I don't hear about it so much. I know a lot of birth times and see a distinct difference between composites with well/poor aspected chart rulers.

Interesting. Thanks for the insight about chart ruler Peach!

Natal - synastry - composite

Both the synastry as well as the composite are a reflection of our natal configurations. They have to be seen in context. And the context is ALWAYS the natal chart.

Ok--the context stems from the natal. However, I have a practical situation for you.

A couple has a wonderful bonded synastry and a Comp which looks like cats and dogs fighting and tell you they want to get married. What do you do?

I get this kind of thing.

From what I've read elsewhere online, the terms "good" and "bad" get scoffed at by many, if not most astrologers.

Wonderful post. I use the words good and bad because I like to be direct.

I get flak but my personal approach to Astrology is to make it understandable and practical, all of which *I* want when I am learning.

IQ is my role model. He says it out and he says it straight.

what is wonderfully bonded about the synastry? What is so bad about the composite?

posted July 11, 2013 09:32 AM            

The Comp was almost all oppositions. I can't remember every detail but it looked like cats and dogs kind of pulls.

I don't think the Moon did well in the Comp. Could it have been unaspected. I can't remember but I did not like it.

But the planets are the sender and receiver of these energies.
If the planets are compatible or even better complimentary themselves, not even a square aspect need to be scary.
However if you have squares with let`s say, Saturn and or URanus to Moon, now that would be a total different scenario (though it still depends if you have such an aspect natally or not).

Why would it be?
Though the emotional connection (Moon) would probably be a bit uranian, and depending on your natal chart and needs, for some people the airiness of this, the slight space and detachment, can feel like a "misfit" (if their natal Moon is in Cancer conjunct Pluto for example) - the potentially nice breezy emotional connection (composite Moon trine Uranus) will leave their intense and passionate natal emotional needs starving for closeness.

Despite the nice composite aspect, they might feel it is just not "enough".
(this would be even more pronounced if the aspect was a conjunction, opposition or square)

I see. I have not looked at the charts this way. Did you name the book in the other thread. I think I saw it. I will get it.

I mean composites are what a reflection of the relationship? So isn't it how others interact with the couple? Or is it really how the individuals make a compramise to blend together? I guess the only way to to find out astrologically is from a midpoint calculation, but it just seems like an educated guess or assumption. Who's to say that a moon in aries and moon in libra will interact like cancer? And not that libra moon flex's its emotions to act more like aries and thus the couple have more of an aries moon? (hopefully that made sense.

And then if you compare composites to natal you'll get very different results than you will in synastry. If you have a opposition moon aspect in synastry it creates a square in the composite and if you have a trine aspect in synastry you get a sextile in a composite. And squares in synastry create sextiles, while sextiles create semi-sextiles. It just seems that synastry and composites balance each other out.

Unless I'm reading this all wrong? I never heard the opposites in composites are really conjunctions? I have sun opposite Venus in my composite, and sun opposite Venus DW in my synastry. Sun trine sun and Venus trine Venus. So I'm I little confused by this.

That does make logical sense. Great post!
