Composite charts and who experiences them. (Read 159 times)

MemberComposite charts and who experiences them.
« on: 13.01.2011 at 22:31 [UT] »O I just wondered if anyone has any thoughts on this, in some articles there is a suggestion that the compositechart is how people are seen by others, ( which may explain why people you think are a great couple suddenly
split up and you find that behind closed doors they were very different.) . So are composites experienced by thecouple themselves or are they the looking glass from which everyone else sees them?

We can do a synastry between one of the members of therelationship with the composite itself to see how that individual interacts/feels/is energised by the relationship.
We can do a synastry between the composite and a third person (eg a child, a parent, a mistress, an employeeetc) to see how they interact with the relationship formed by the two people.
So, the couple experience the relationship, outsiders experience the relationship. The composite represents thePosts: 3675

relationship, not one or other of the partners. What we create between us is different than just one or other ofus.
A synastry between the two people shows the energies they bring to bear with each other, their direct effect oneach other.

behave around others) and the MC (what others think they know about the relationship).
As for the interior feeling of a relationship... how the two perceive it, which is often very much unlike how it
appears, that's a synthesis of everything else, planets, houses, aspects. Very hard to point to one thing and say,"ah, here's the problem." You have to look at the entire chart and get a good sense of what the themes are.

natally in the composite.
My son and I have G in j m natally and G is m composite IC. There are very serious expectations we have of
one another as family members. We simply do not let one another down. Nothing is offered that can't befollowed through on. Endured a lot of hardships together. A great deal of responsibility to one another after
going through rough times. Very much a parent-parent type of relationship, as he was always eager to offeradvice as a kid, even. The great sense of humor, too - laugh about the same droll things. Comp. J on Asc. nD 7th. This is where we get into power struggles around give and take. it started early - who took out thetrash last, etc. We tread lightly with one another because we both know how volatile our emotions are, eachhaving BJ aspects in natal charts.
Anyway, these are just examples. "Love" composites are harder for me to get a handle on.

It was a snippet I'd read and I thought it was worth considering, as I've had a number of relationships whichbare no resembalance to the actual composite chart, while the synastry made everything explicable.

And Ed oddly enough I was viewing it from the perspective of the people involved in the composite...not theastrologer, after all they are the ones its meaning would be important to surely? The astrologer may interpret
but they aren't living it, they're just doing it for a career or a hobby. Unless I suppose you wish to view theastrologer as the scientist and the people who own the charts as lab rats;thus demoting their importance.
And if the composite does give an astrologer a different view of the relationship surely knowing what that viewactually is would be integral in interpretation?

difficulty living together

Gender:2) they describe how other people see the relationship ... my ex had aA, I had eA we had a composite cA
with cC conjunct. Friendly, lively, talkative couple.
3) each of the couples' own planets may contact the composite chart. For example, I had an ex- with whom we
had composite ACDO on my descendent - it was the love of my life. Depending on where they fell in her
natal chart she probably saw it differently.

there's a yod or t-square, it shows where the energy is going to end up, or which planetary influence is going tobe emphasized.

Where the Asc is a fixed sign, I have stayed friends with that person for many years.

many personal planets conjunct planets and angles in the composite we can see the importance the relationshiphas to them. If the partner has few points of contact we can see that perhaps they are less affected.
I don't usually read a composite for a relationship that is less than a year old, mainly because those involved
are in a first flush where they are unable to consider the relationship objectively as an entity as they arethemselves unaware of the energies and rhythms. Either they don't listen, or they listen and potentially try towork against the relationship as described by the composite rather than accepting and working with it.

The position of the A by house describes the nature of the relationship.
