This is R and I’s composite relationship chart from www.astro.com . I first read a short version of it about two weeks after I met him and was thinking… ‚yeah RIGHT’. Then, I looked at other relationship charts with me and other people and none of them showed any of what it said in that one.

Now we’ve been together 9 months, and reading this is blowing me away, because it SO accurately describes our relationship. It is really neat even though there is of course some difficult issues to overcome just like in any other relationship. What's good though is GREAT


Composite chart:

The Composite horoscope is a symbolic chart, derived mathematically and never represented by a real planetary configuration on the sky. For all planetary pairs, for example both Suns in the natal charts of the partners, the Composite Sun is determined as the mid-point in between. Also the MC (Medium Coeli or cusp of the 10th house) is determined by this mid-point technique. So far all astrologers proceed the same way to get a Composite.

The Composite First House
The first house is the "persona" of a relationship. It indicates the kind of impression the relationship will make on its surroundings and how it will be viewed by others. It tells to what extent a couple will be regarded as a unit in their own right rather than as two seperate individuals.
The first house describes the impression the relationship gives rather than what it really is. A strong first house can be an indication of a relationship that is all show and no substance. Nevertheless, a strong first house is usually a sign of a significant relationship that will have a great impact on the lives of those involved. These relationships tend to be important ones.
Composite Neptune
Neptune in the composite chart is an energy that most people find quite difficult to handle. It has two quite separate areas of meaning that are ultimately connected, although they do not seem related on the surface.
First of all, Neptune is related to disappointment, delusion, deceit, falsehood, and the gradual disappearance of things. Yet it also represents whatever you idealize, legitimately and otherwise - that which is spiritual and mystical, which is actually at the root of love in its most spiritual sense, even more than Venus. It is the two-sidedness of Neptune that is so difficult to deal with.
To a considerable extent, all true love is based on your idealization of some aspect of the other person. In fact, if the Neptune energy were not working to some extent, you would not have been attracted to that person in the first place.
If you can hold your ideals and still be able to deal with reality, Neptune may even help you realize your ideals.
Neptune in the chart tells about those areas of the relationship that are idealized, maybe dangerously so. It tells about the depth of spiritual communication and about the extent to which all communication is disrupted by your illusions about each other.
Neptune in the First House 1st hs
With composite Neptune in the first house of a chart, there is a great danger that the two of you don't understand what this relationship is all about. Or you may have a fairly clear idea about the direction you should take as a couple, but you have difficulty understanding where you are at a particular time.
Typical of the problems that Neptune induces is a situation that can occur in a love relationship. One of you thinks that everything is beautiful and ideal. But you will discover that something is radically wrong between you when you wake up one morning to find that the other person is gone, having been unhappy for months.
Another common Neptune pattern that applies here, is that one of you sacrifices yourself to "save" the other from some problem. This is usually the rankest form of self-delusion, because one or both of you is using this pattern as a device for working out your own hangups.
Unfortunately there are endless possible sources of self-delusion. But a first-house Neptune does signify that you must work for a realistic relationship and not let your ideals overwhelm your ability to see the truth.

The Composite Fourth House
The fourth house represents more than the home, especially in the composite chart. It indicates the basic roots of a relationship - both literally, in geographical terms, and figuratively, in terms of mental and emotional background. The fourth house signifies the innermost depths of a relationship, which may be so far within as to be invisible on the surface.
On top of this, the fourth house does mean collective 'home'. The home is where a couple's deepest emotional and psychological attitudes have their strongest impact. The home is in many ways the physical embodiment of one's innermost being, and is therefore influenced by anything that affects the inner life. A composite chart with a strong fourth house usually indicates that the two people share their innermost lives and that they probably share their actual place of residence.
Composite Mercury
Mercury is the planet of mind and communication. In a relationship it signifies the quality and manner of communication between the two of you.
A well-placed Mercury in the chart indicates that you have some degree of intellectual understanding and can communicate with each other. While it is desirable, especially in an emotional relationship, that two people have an intuitive, unspoken understanding, it is also highly desirable that you be able to talk easily with each other.
Unfortunately, very often, especially in a love relationship, people think that if they truly love each other, they should be able to feel what the other is thinking without having to say anything. If there is no communication between you, all you have left is the image created in your mind in the absence of real understanding. This is what a badly placed Mercury often signifies.
Basically, Mercury signifies your ability to speak each other's language, to express your thoughts in ways that the other can understand.
Mercury in the Fourth House 4th hs
Mercury in the fourth house of a composite chart indicates that the two of you are able to communicate about your deepest feelings and the most deeply buried attributes of your relationship, matters that normally would be unconscious.
The fourth house also rules one's home - in this case the home you set up together, if that is appropriate to your relationship. Since Mercury rules thought and communication, this placement means that you are likely to make your home as intellectually stimulating as possible. You will surround yourselves with fine books or whatever else interests you, such as materials for hobbies or crafts. You are also fond of having people get together in your home for good stimulating conversation.
As is usual when Mercury is in a position that concerns feelings, the only real danger here is that you may overintellectualize the deep inner aspects of yourselves.
If this warning is heeded, a fourth-house Mercury can be very helpful, precisely because it does help to improve communication about your feelings and inner selves, which in most relationships are difficult to discuss.
The Composite Fifth House
The fifth house in the composite chart has many of the same meanings that it has in a conventional chart - love affairs, children (where this is appropriate), creativity, self- expression, etc. The interpretation of self-expression, however, is especially crititcal in a composite chart.
The composite fifth house represents, first of all, to what extent the relationship provides a setting for the individuals to be themselves in the most genuine and honest way possible. Many relationships survive only because each partner puts up a false front to the other. The fifth house signifies the ability of the individuals to be real in each other's presence.
The fifth is also the house of love affaires and friendship. But the very nature of this house means that it is not for people who are trying to operate as a single unit. In a fifth house relationship the two people are together but still individuals.
Composite Sun
The house position of the Sun (along with that of the Moon) tells a great deal about the basic thrust of the relationship, what it exists for, and the major issues it will revolve around. The aspects to the Sun refer to the most important energy patterns in the horoscope, the kinds of behavior that will be most important between you.
A badly placed Sun with difficult aspects can be an important factor in making a relationship difficult or even unbearable. It indicates that the basic energies of the relationship are not being handled well and that something is fundamentally wrong between you. On the other hand, a well-placed and well-aspected Sun will help a relationship survive even in difficult times.
If the Sun is well placed in the chart, the relationship will be experienced as free and spontaneous self-expression, requiring little effort. Of course, other factors can create difficulties, even when the Sun is well placed, but a good Sun in a composite is very desirable.
Sun in the Fifth House 5th hs
Sun in the fifth house of the composite chart is one of the best positions for a sexual relationship. It is also the house of creativity, children, self-expression, amusement, and good times in general. The Sun in the fifth house gives a strong emphasis to any of these elements.
In a personal relationship, a composite fifth-house Sun implies that your relationship will give you good opportunities for self-expression, for being yourself and enjoying it.
This is a good position for friendship because it indicates a light-hearted relationship in which you genuinely enjoy each other's company.
In a relationship with this placement, you must give each other room to be what you are.
Composite Saturn
Saturn is always a very complicated symbol. It has many meanings, some of which are difficult to deal with. To begin with, it often represents those areas of the relationship that are likely to be a source of insecurity. You must learn to relax about those areas of the relationship that are most influenced by Saturn.
Saturn also refers to limitations on the relationship, which are often more apparent than real. Saturn is an inhibitor, representing the aspects of reality that limit our efforts to expand and grow. The position of Saturn in the composite chart will tell a great deal about what areas of the relationship are most likely to be structured and even rigidified, if the influence is unchecked.
Saturn is not always difficult, however. Very often it indicates a lasting relationship that will endure. Much of the time you will respond to Saturn simply by accepting the reality it imposes and not expecting that which is impossible. In such instances Saturn replaces flamboyance with reliability.
At other times, however, Saturn's influence will make a relationship nearly impossible. When this happens, it is a reality that must be accepted. Properly handled, the experience of Saturn can be one of the most significant ways in which you learn how you will act in certain situations together. But it must be acknowledged that this process is not always particularly pleasant.
