I've been spending some time studying my love and I's composite chart. I noticed that there are three yods in it. I know that yods are referred to as being "God's Finger" and in a composite chart they are supposed to be the mission of the relationship or the ultimate destiny of the relationship. Here are the specifics of the yods, I am wondering if anyone would happen to know their meanings with this chart.

The base of the first yod is Venus(in Pisces in the 1st house) and Jupiter(in Taurus in the 3rd house) with the point being Saturn(in Libra in the 8th house).

The base of the second yod is Neptune(in Sagittarius in the 10th house) and Pluto(in Libra in the 8th house) with the point being Jupiter(in Taurus in the 3rd house).

The base of the third yod is Neptune(in Sagittarius in the 10th house) and Saturn(in Libra in the 8th house) with the point being Jupiter(in Taurus in the 3rd house).

Here is the Composite.

I have then in a relationship of mine (and in my chart too) and I have been trying to figure them out too... the ones I have in my composite are:

Jupiter and Saturn with Sun and Venus as the apex and...

Neptune and Pluto with the Moon as the apex.

I'm also very curious about this, I googled yod and tried to understand but my astrology knowledge only goes so far and I got confused. I'd like to know how to go about seeing if I have one and what exactly the rules or uhm degrees are. You can't just bring up something I know nothing about and leave me hanging! Well, you could but I don't think you should lol.

A Yod occurs when two planets in sextile (60° apart) both form an inconjunct (a 150° angle) with a third planet. The third planet in the inconjunct represents the action point of the Yod. The point call often the finger of God. Many astrologers say that's to be an karmic point.
The two planets in the sextile, being in complementary elements. Fire and air, water and earth. The complementary work well together, but the sign to which both of them are quincunx is of a different element to the other two and possesses characteristics that tend to be extremely incompatible with those of the other two signs.

This third planet is pulling in an opposite direction from the other two and would like to resolve, but the astrological energies of the signs are so completely different

I found an interesting article to share: The Astrology of Relationships: Fated–the Yod in the Composite Chart

If Yods in Natal Charts are configurations that change your life, then perhaphs, Yods in Composite Charts give the relationship a "fated" element?

I have a YOD in composite with this guy I've been seeing for 4 years.

Venus in Aqua sextile Uranus in Sag, quincunx the Moon in Cancer. We actually have a "boomerang" pattern in the chart, as the composite Sun and Mercury oppose the composite Moon.

We also have the Pluto/Neptune/Chiron Yod.

We also (almost) have a Kite configuration in our composite, which is very cool.

Brad and Angelina, Prince Charles and Camilla, Prince Charles and Diana, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, Prince William and Kate.. So many couples with composite Yods! Quite a few of these relationships were pretty scandalous; Charles, Brad, and Paul all left their wives for the other women with whom they had a composite Yod.

I looked at the composite transits, and it seems like the relationships got under way when the composite YOD was activated by an outer Planet transit. I think with Brangelina, their composite Uranus/Ascendant (Apex) was transited by Jupiter, and the composite Moon (base of Yod) was being conjuncted by Uranus when they got together. Paul and Joanne's Neptune (apex of Yod) was being transited by Pluto when they got together (by conjunction).

Anyway, Pluto is going to activate our composite boomerang this year, but won't really be under way until next year (Our composite Sun is at 11 degrees Cap, opposite our Moon at 10 degrees Cancer). The Venus square Saturn kills everything, though.

I've read a lot about these configurations, and it has been said that Yods in the composite make the couple feel like they always have unfinished business. Yods present difficulties for the couple, as they make a certain issue very difficult to resolve, so it never feels like you're "done" with one another.

They don't call it *Finger of God* for nothing. It's actually very common to have a yod with Neptune sextile Pluto at the bottom end. In fact anyone born after 1940 will have this sextile. So it's important then if the apex planet is a 'personal planet' for it to be felt.

starfairy,

Things like chiron, nodes, vertex, juno, specs of dust are not normally considered in aspect configurations.

like I said earlier it's very common to have neptune sextile pluto as base planets..

I would not rely totally on composites either. Just to remind you where to get a free interactive composite from Astro.com

@SaggiMC

Why don't you consider the YOD in a composite to be important? Please elaborate, as this is the subject of this entire thread.

Yes, Chiron is not usually considered in a YOD configuration. I have this YOD in composite with quite a few people in my life, actually. I've read conflicting information on Chiron, and whether it can and should be considered in a Yod. It is certainly considered to be an important asteroid, though, and is certainly considered more important than Juno to most astrologers. Chiron is included in most standard natal charts, including the ones on astro.com. I'm not sure where I stand on this issue; I need to look more into it.

The more important YOD configuration is the Venus/Uranus/Moon YOD in my composite chart posted above. This sextile between Uranus and Venus is not "generational", like a Pluto sextile Neptune aspect is..

Also, the OP of this thread was referring to YODs in her and her boyfriend's composite chart, not in her own natal chart.

I believe YODs in composite are important. If the composite is the chart of the relationship, why shouldn't specific patterns within it bear importance? If composites describe the purpose of the relationship, specific patterns should be considered. I've read dozens of articles which study and analyze everything from T-squares to Kites to Mystic Rectangle patterns in composite charts, so it's only logical to include Yods.

Of course Chiron should be counted.

In my opinion, it is. Why wouldn't it be, right?

Can you relate to the Yod in your composite chart?

Yes definitely. Always felt that my partner and I were fated to be together, something was pushing us. It's only after all the insecurities creeping out and coming face to face with our own individual old "wounds" that I realised it was a healing thing. Chiron is at the apex of the only Yod in our composite. Yes we do have Chiron contacts in synastry, but I believe it's the composite which shows the higher purpose of the realtionship.

I have four yods in a composite chart with a guy that I'm involved with right now. Although they do have generational aspects (Neptune & Uranus sextile Pluto), I don't believe I should count it out as irrelevant.

1 yod) Uranus, Pluto, and Sun @ apex
2 yod) Uranus, Pluto, and Mercury @ apex
3 yod) Neptune, Pluto, and Sun @ apex
4 yod) Neptune, Pluto, and Mercury @ apex

This relationship definitely does have a "fated" feeling to it. His north node in synastry is conjunct my Moon and Descendant. Does anyone care to try and help me interpret these yods?

Does a North Node count in a yod, especially if its at the Apex?

Speaking about a composite chart specifically...
