See the aspects between the charts of the sample couple

A composite chart puts two people into one chart by placing each point halfway between the same point in their birth charts. This calculator returns the shared chart, its points, and the aspects they make to one another.

What the calculator does

Enter the birth details for Person A and Person B to calculate a composite chart. The result treats the two charts as a pair: it is read as a picture of the people together, not as either person's birth chart. The composite chart uses the midpoint of each matching point, such as the Sun in A's chart and the Sun in B's. Its placements describe themes the two people may recognize in how they relate.

How the midpoints are found

Each pair of points has two possible midpoints, opposite each other; the calculator uses the one on the shorter arc. For example, points at 350° and 10° give a midpoint at 0°, not 180°. The Ascendant and Midheaven are included only when both birth times are known. If the near Ascendant midpoint falls on the wrong side of the Midheaven, the opposite point is used. Houses are Equal houses counted from the composite Ascendant, each 30 degrees wide, rather than either person's house system.

What the result includes

The result includes a chart wheel, a table of composite points, and the aspects those points make to one another. It covers the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and the north node. Beside each composite point, the table shows the position in Person A's chart and the position in Person B's chart. An aspect is the angular relationship between points; these links are read with the same orbs used for other chart aspects.

When a birth time is missing

Without both birth times, the composite Ascendant, Midheaven, and houses cannot be calculated. The planets still have composite positions, shown as possible signs when the missing time leaves uncertainty. The Moon is the point most affected: its composite position can vary by up to about seven degrees either way, while the Sun can vary by a quarter of a degree. The listed possibilities show the range tied to the unknown time, not a single confirmed placement.

Questions

What is a composite chart?

A composite chart is one chart made from the midpoints between corresponding points in two birth charts. People use it to explore themes in the relationship as a shared subject. It is different from reading either person's chart on its own.

How is a composite chart different from synastry?

Synastry compares points in two separate birth charts to show how they contact each other. A composite chart places the midpoints in one new chart, so its placements describe the relationship as a whole rather than one person's response to the other's.

Do I need both birth times?

Both birth times are needed for the composite Ascendant, Midheaven, and houses. If one time is unknown, the calculator can still show composite planetary positions, with possible signs where the time affects the result. The Moon's position is especially time-sensitive.

How does the calculator find a midpoint?

It measures the shorter arc between the matching points and takes the point halfway along it. The other possible midpoint lies opposite. This shorter-arc choice handles points near the start and end of the zodiac without placing their midpoint on the far side.
