Your thoughts?

What's the difference? Which one do you use and why?

Taking an advanced synastry course and will ask. You know I think it depends a lot because I've witnessed a lot going on with both at different times. Transits to the progressed really seem to push the relationship forward and force occurrences especially with the squares etc... you know but transits to the composite can be really effective.

Ever watch the moon go around your composite and noted how you're affected? I mean it's more noticeable when both partners have their natal charts affected. Then it's through that lens. Is very complicated but kneading to see how the moon trips off a partner with a challenged moon, such as square the nodes. And say the moon is on the composite south node-Pluto and alsothat pperson's Pluto and you'll see how it's hard to distinguish what's what but something is going down at that time like clockwork. The way we're tied in with the relationship chart reflects a great deal of its importance to us and that's often evident by transit if we're being personally affected. Anyway that's a ramble

short answer is, both?

Oh no, I mean transits to composite - overlay of two charts (the date and composite chart) versus progressed composite chart (just one chart, not overlayed further with date chart)

What have you observed? I know there are folks who have been working in the field a long time and have witnessed all kinds of things in terms of the efficacy of different methods in different situations and with different people.

Different predictive methods work better for different people at different times. If you ever read Bernadette Brady's "The Eagle and the Lark," she makes that really clear. Some people are "eagles" and some are "larks," I can't remember which is which but some, she says, do not respond well to transits or at all! -so she uses the older methods like solar return charts or goes over to progressions only.

Anyway sorry to ramble more if this isn't directly answering your question. I hope folks chime in with theire experiences.

You can see a lot more subtlety with the transits to composite than with the progressed composite because the transits just move faster, you know? I really like to watch the progressed composite Sun/Moon midpoint asit activates the composite and progressed composite. It can be very telling as to where the focus of the relationship is at a given moment.

For big picture stuff the progressed composite can be really useful.

I think I have overall noticed that the transits to the natal charts are really most important (ducking-'I know that wasn't the question either!)... I mean you want to see all the boxes being ticked to have something really significant happening, the rule of 3 you know. I would want to see something happening for an individual by progression and transit and then I would want to see two individuals progressed charts lining up and perhaps also a progression to the composite but certainly a transit to the composite to accurately predict some occurrence. I think my answer is that I use the transits to the composite somewhat more at this point.

But you know... my teacher said to look at the transits to the progressed Davison to know when stuff would be happening. I don't know if it's been as revealing as she thought it would be but I have no doubt that the method works very well in some places.

Astrology is complex... you have to be willing to look in more than one place for information.

It's funny you didn't mean transits to the progressed because that's a thing too.

Curious to know other people's experiences and your feelings on the matter..

yungang_grotto,

Thank you for your extensive answer. I should have checked both progressed composite and transits to composite during the time I was with my ex (years!). A lot has happened between us during those years so it would have been easy to check which method worked. But of course I was too busy at that time for astrology. I'm a big fan of transits to natal chart. Something like Uranus conjunct my Dsc affected the whole relationship and made me quit it for good. So even though it was nothing to do with composite, the relationship has ended because of transit that affected me.

Because I only got interested in composites not long ago and have not much real experience, I'm not too sure about either methods. But I have to say that progressed composites are a weird thing to me. Hardly anything changes in them after so many years. Aspects grow wider and wider but that takes such a long time. If you have, for example a bad progressed composite at the moment, with all these tense aspects in it and you only just got into a relationship with that special someone, that composite is pretty much telling you to ditch the person you're interested in because it's going to stay like that for a looong time. That just doesn't seem right. Relationship is a process, it changes, it never is stationary and progressed composite just does not reflect that ongoing change. So for this reason alone, I think transits to the actual composite sound so much better. They make more sense to me.

Transits to the progressed composite is a bit much for me ))) double trouble

You know, for some reason I think I don't like using anything 'progressed'...Hmm. maybe because for myself I see transits to natal work so well compared to progressed chart? That could be it.
