So I've been seeing a lot of Davison Chart stuff on here recently, and found it very interesting. I've never casted one, but recently I listened to a podcast on the Davison, Decans, and Sabian Symbols.

One of the astrologists likened the Davison to the composite of your inner relationship with a partner behind closed doors, except it is based on the three physical means (time, birth date, location) of the two partners, and not hypothetical midpoints which may have never existed in time/space. Thus, the Davison can be subject to progressions, returns, transits, etc...

I am fascinated by our patterns...

Anyone have any good links for interpretations? Can you use composite interpretations for the Davison?

I want to read up all I can. Thanks.

I think the Davison shows the events in a relationship, the story - it's like an event chart. (located in time and space). Whilst the Composite, being the charts of the midpoints between two people, speaks about their actual union (so I kinda disagree with people saying the Composite is the view of the couple from the outside): the midpoint between two planets is the metaphor of them coming together, being together, it must show what this union is about and what are its predictions. The metaphorical geometry between the midpoints - the Composite aspects- and the translated composite houses is a theoretical construct of the human mind, but so is the entire astrology, symbolic.

Leeloo,

how would you interprete a Venus-Mars-conjunction in Taurus in 3rd house in Davison then?

Yes, and of course the composite can be progressed, transits are in effect as well, it will just be traced back to the individual people. And in my observation transits to natal midpoints are VERY effective.

Just this aspect? I will probably look at the Composite first, to see how it translates from there. Then I would look at the place Gemini occupies in Davison: Venus/Mars conjunction in Taurus is very very nice for stable sensual committed relationships; in the third, it will probably have an intellectual, chatty vibe as well and it will be more open to other people. But for the cinematic view the Davison offers (for the events suggested), I would have to look at the whole Davison in comparison with the Composite.

indeed, that's why midpoint structures are very telling.

"ust this aspect? I will probably look at the Composite first, to see how it translates from there"
No Venus-Mars-aspect.

Well a square, but with LARGE Orb: 7°07


"Then I would look at the place Gemini occupies in Davison:"
5th house.
Mercury-Jupiter-conjunction in 5th house


"But for the cinematic view the Davison offers (for the events suggested), I would have to look at the whole Davison in comparison with the Composite."
I am going to open a thred with that. Will you have a look?

What would, for example, these aspects mean in a Davison chart?

Sun conjunct Union
Union conjunct Valentine
Adonis conjunct Juno
Vertex conjunct Venus and Pluto

Thank you in advance .

Absolutely.
I was thinking about a thread of Composite/Davison comparison myself.

OK, this is one of my latest dilemmas: synastry DWs turning into a wide orb aspect in the composite. What do we do with them?


About your aspects: very nice! So the third is the secondary 5th, it's related to the love part of the Davison chart; plus, Mercury/Jupiter are in the 5th, in a sort of mutual reception with the 3rd house: the 5th house is in Gem, and Venus/Mars conjunction in the 3rd, with Mercury as middleman lol I don't know if there's an aspect between the two pairs, but there's a happy expensive communicative vibe common to the two houses, so they communicate with each other, energetically.

Ceri gave me a very nice answer about the differences between using/interpreting a Composite and Davison back in December in this thread:

These are my thoughts, too.

That's very helpful for distinguishing the two. Now, how do you go about interpreting certain aspects in the Davison?

My partner and I have a very strong composite, and there's a ton out there on composites, but Davisons... Not so much. What does it mean to have a packed 7th. Multiple grand trines? Etc.

Since the Davison has a different meaning than the composite, I don't suppose you can blanket those interpretations from composite over the chart.

Also, Ceri, your description in that other thread was so eloquently woven and beautifully flowing.
