A composite chart is created by averaging the planetary positions of two individuals’ birth charts. This midpoint method produces a new chart representing the dynamics of their relationship, not either individual. For instance, if Person A has their Sun at 10 degrees Aries and Person B has their Sun at 20 degrees Aries, the composite Sun would be placed at 15 degrees Aries.
This technique offers valuable insights into relationship dynamics, highlighting strengths, challenges, and potential growth areas. It provides a framework for understanding the energetic interplay between two people, moving beyond individual characteristics to reveal the unique entity formed by their connection. Historically rooted in astrological practice, its use continues to offer a nuanced perspective on interpersonal relationships.
