Compatibility is always questioned in the heart and mind. Astrology can help you to



understand some of the mysteries surrounding

your relationship. I really like this next part of astrology and relationships and that's the

composite chart of two individuals.

What a composite chart does is combine- numerically - both positions of a planet to come up with one position and so forth (representing the relationship itself), such as combining both moon positions (finding the midpoint), both sun positions etc. then finding the aspect between them. This gives a chart for the relationship.

You'll find even more information in this section than just comparing chart to chart. It gives a clue as to what the relationship itself is about and what to expect over time.

Here's a few examples of composite aspects between

a fictitious couple's composite chart - Luke and Blair.

Composite Moon Square Venus:

Composite Mercury Conjunct Mars:

Composite Sun Trine Uranus:

Composite Moon Opposite Saturn:



My opinion would be that their relationship will have a mix of affection(moon/venus), occasional disputes (mercury/mars), shared alternative or progressive ideas (sun/uranus), and the possibility of emotional separations, withdrawal and

distancing (moon/saturn).



No relationship is without it's challenges eh?

Depending, on each person's natal chart and characteristics, how they manage their differences within the relationship, will depend on how they

will use their challenges for better or worse. The easy aspects are just that - easy - but the true test of any relationship is how to grow and deal with the difficulties. Thank goodness

for them that they do have plenty of soft aspects to counter the difficult times. Some couples don't have that, and that's where trouble can be the ending to a relationship. My advice to this couple would be to live somewhere near a body of

water (moon/neptune), be prepared for separations and challenges due to other obligations (perhaps with one or the other's family in some way), learn to speak respectively with each other in regards to differences, and not to depend solely on the other person for his/her emotional happiness. Perhaps counseling would be of great benefit here.

There are always personal and relationship issues

that are brought up in every relationship that need some sort of resolution. Relationships bring up all kinds of issues that need to be addressed within each individual - this is most of the purpose of relationships- to change, to grow, to learn to be more compassionate, more tolerant and patient, or to stand up for yourself, become more

assertive in your relationships, and to claim for yourself that you are valuable, heard, significant, worthy, and lovable. The more we can claim

these attributes for ourselves the more we can give them to others - especially within our closest relationships.
