Can anyone help me understand this composite? I will give a tarot or lenormand reading in the Personal Readings forum as an exchange in return

I've noticed Venus is in the 8th House, but it's under the sign of Aquarius. Does this make it any less deep? Me & him also have our natal Venus in Aquarius so it's funny it is showing up again. This aspect interests me the most. Our relationship is deep and I believe it to be loving, but not without challenges. There was also obsession stalking on his end in the beginning, as well as obsession (both our parts) so I wonder if this is what the composite can also be illustrating there.

Is there anything else that stands out? Thank you

hi,

i read somewhere, some time ago that signs are not important in composite because it's just a mathematical chart. (davison chart on the other hand is different. signs are important there)
that's being said venus conjunct mercury in 8th house looks quite deep especially in the communication department

i'm not good at reading composite charts but that 7th house sun trines moon looks quite good. and there is a sun conjunct mars in 7th house. they always say it's also the house of open enemies so if you are good, you are good. if not things might get ugly.

hopefully someone else can make a proper comment on your composite.

Venus in the 8th suggests a very deep and serious love affair. That doesn't mean that it will be easy, it most likely won't be. I think Venus in the 8th is meant to transform your view of love and relationships, usually by bringing up past wounds and insecurities related to love. Venus is also conjunct Mercury in the 8th, so there could be a lot of psychological discussions, or possibly manipulative behavior between the two of you. Basically, the way that you show love, affection, and the way you communicate will have Scorpio/8th house influences. Most likely issues surrounding sex, control, fear of loss, manipulation, soul merging, transformation, psychology, and other 8th house matters will be a major theme in the relationship.

I had this placement with my ex of 14 years. It was a very deep, soul merging relationship, that changed both of us forever. It was not easy, and there were constant power struggles between us, but the love was/is still very powerful. Even though we are no longer together, the bond between us remains. We also have Moon/Pluto double whammy in synastry, the conjunction and opposition, which resulted in the square in our composite. Plus we both have Moon/Pluto in our natal charts, and I'm a Scorpio, he's a Cancer. So the Scorpio/8th house themes would have been present anyway, but Venus in the 8th only reinforced those energies between us. It's not a light hearted type of love, that's for sure. I also have Venus in the 8th(along with 4 other planets), and he had Venus trine Pluto, so it worked for us.

You also have a lot of planets in the 7th house, so most likely this is a very important relationship. The conjunction of Sun, Neptune, Mars, and Uranus is going to bring the energy of those planets into the relationship. It has the potential to be a very creative, dreamy, active, exciting relationship with all of those planets in conjunction. This would be nice for artistic expression, or shared creative hobbies. Also the Moon trine your stellium is a nice aspect to see, since the Moon sets the emotional tone of the relationship. Chiron also forms a grand trine, so healing past wounds could also be a theme between the two of you. Mars in that stellium probably means a couple that is very active together, maybe they like to work out, play sports, or do other physical activities together, including sex . Neptune conjunct the Sun can be a very romantic and dreamy influence, and would be really nice for an artistic couple. Neptune can smooth over harsher aspects, but can also be deceptive by ignoring negative qualities, and choosing to idealize one another. Often having Uranus prominent in synastry or composite creates a fast moving, sometimes short lived and exciting relationship. It doesn't have to be negative, and could simply mean a relationship where both people feel a sense of freedom to express themselves, or one that started in an unusual way. Maybe you met online, or it could be a long distance relationship? You mentioned that you both have Venus in Aquarius, so Uranus in that composite stellium will probably work out well for both of you. By the way, since the composite is the midpoint of your planets, any planets that both of you have in the same sign would be in that sign in the composite. Also look for close aspects, especially the conjunctions, from the composite to your natal charts. If the composite planets touch your natal planets, it shows what energies and areas of your life will be activated by the relationship.

We DID meet online, BlueJay!
Awesome how you caught that. We had a ton of mutual friends and he added me, then met up a few days later.

I also noticed pluto in the 5th house. Maybe this could explain the obsession we both had for each other and how he eventually started stalking me after the breakup. Also, I was deeply sexually attracted to him and have never felt that kind of lust for anyone else.

A lot of what you said is true. Our relationship was not lighthearted at all by any means. It was a roller coaster ride. I didn't know Venus in the 8th meant a transformation. Well, he was my first serious boyfriend and being with him definitely changed my perspective on how a relationship should be. He changed my views on sex, love, and what it really means to care for someone. Also what I want and do not want in a relationship.

There was a lot of manipulation on his end in the relationship. Definitely a fear of loss, I know 100% on my end. I also feel we had a psychic / telepathic connection. My intuition got stronger with him and I started having prophetic dreams, especially about him and I. I believe he was psychic as well but didn't really trust in his intuition and pushed it aside. I tried having psychological discussions, and while we had a few, since we both loved philosophy... as we got deeper into the relationship, those meaningful discussions sort of... stopped.

Yeah, we are both very active people lol he also motivated me to want to be in even better shape because he had such a perfect body! lol sex was definitely something we both loved as well, but I was more shy than him. He was pretty forceful and I really was not ready when he was. But that's a whole other story. We did idealize each other a lot though and I do feel we did love each other.

We were only together for 9 months on and off. We recently broke up in late April. It's better for us, as we were seeming to do more harm to each other than good. I don't believe in the beginning his intentions were impure but somewhere down the line, something went wrong. And perhaps it's best this way. He taught me a lot of things, whether bad or good, I have lessons for life now.

Based on this composite, would you say we are soulmates? I sort of feel that we are, but perhaps not the soulmate that stays with each other. I think we may be soulmates that teach each other things and then we have to go on our way because staying together brings more harm than good.

As for the Chiron placement, I don't know... I think I got more wounds from this relationship than we did healing each other Haha.. Hmm.. I think we were good for each other's ego. We did make each other feel loved and needed at some point, so maybe this could be what the grand trine is showing.

Thank you SO much for your help, BlueJay

Thanks for pointing that out

Yeah, we did have deep communications and would stay up talking to each other for hours. I'm also thinking that Venus conjunct Mercury in the 8th House could also mean that perhaps we promised a lot of things and wouldn't come to pass? Because with Venus especially in the 8th, maybe we idealized certain things too much.. Like, we talked with a Venus vibe, but it was all because of the energy of the 8th House making us all daydreamy instead of realistic? I don't know if I'm explaining it right.

I've never heard of the 7th House being the house of open enemies!!! Well, things did get ugly between us. We had many fights and the last one turned physical, which is part of the reason why we broke up. I do feel that he was sort of like an enemy to me. An enemy and a lover, because he did switch on me. He became more abusive over time. So yeah, enemies and lovers. I couldn't trust him anymore and I know he couldn't trust me, but we still stayed together.

Can Venus in the 8th house in a composite chart indicate a hidden relationship?
