I've always thought they were also important. And that sometimes they help with bad synastry. IP: Logged |

You think so? I never thought astrologers overlook composites, I never heard of this. Have you consulted with an astrologer and they won't look at a composite?IP: Logged |

I don't overlook composite charts for relationships, but in my view they are not relevant as the primary relationship picturing tool until the two people involved have unified their lives at least by cohabitation if not marriage. Also, until you've learned to fully understand birth charts and synastry interaction, it is best to not jump ahead to composites. Focusing unseasoned astrological eyes upon synastry and composite charts will give a distorted view of them. I think a distinction needs to be made between the professional astrologer, not one of which I've ever heard of overlooking composite charts, and students who are not there yet. ------------------

The only people who I've seen overlook composites are those that prefer Davison charts instead. Most professional astrologers I've seen and spoken too prefer the composite when synastry isn't telling them enough. And also what Kannon said. IP: Logged |

Composite charts:"Take the midpoints of each of A’s and B’s mutual planets (Sun with Sun, Moon with Moon, etc.), put them into a house wheel made up of mutual house cusp midpoints, and that’s your composite chart. It’s essentially a clever circular snapshot of the timing points of power shifts from one person to another, depicted in a familiar horoscope wheel, packed with information about how transits push and pull the partnership, shaping it along the way. Metaphorically, if you look at A as the land and B as the sea, the composite would describe the entire shoreline between the two, where the waves beat and the ongoing weather is made. Some shores are smooth and gentle, easily traversed, some rocky and troublesome, inviting shipwreck." Composites are more popular simply bc they have been around longer, I belief davison charts come into the picture around the 1970s and composites have been around since the 1920s I think. 3 Minute Video on composite versus Davison:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=holMkTOewnA
