When two people come together in a relationship, they create a third entity: the Composite Chart. This is a special astrological chart that shows the midpoint of all the planets between the two individuals. In other words, it’s a map of your relationship and can reveal what needs to be done to keep it thriving.

The Composite Sun sign is technically your relationship’s sign. And it might exude a VERY different than you two do individually. For example, mix a passionate fire sign with a social air sign and you’ll wind up with either an emo water sign or a grounded earth sign as your Composite Sun. Suddenly, you both have to adjust in significant ways to make your relationship work.

But it doesn’t stop there! Just like your individual birth charts, your Composite Chart has a zodiac GPS for each of the planets. By understanding these planetary placements, you can get a better sense of what makes your relationship tick and what needs to be tended to in order to keep the peace.
