Introduction
Each of us has a personal birth chart that records where the planets were at the time when we were born. As long as we are lone individuals, we are stuck with that chart. The placements and aspects of our natal birth chart will define our potential as individuals for the rest of our lives. Furthermore, the possible aspects and possible alignments of the planets in our birth chart are limited by where the planets actually were around the time when we were born. It is not possible to have Jupiter conjunct Saturn in our birth charts when Jupiter and Saturn were on opposite sides of the solar system.
All of those limitations disappear when it comes to the composite chart between two people. Through the magic of two people’s charts coming together and combining, almost any combination, almost any destiny, is possible. By unifying with another person, the two of you can have a greater capacity to channel the planetary energies in a desired direction than was possible for either one of you alone. The two of you do have to submerge your individual egos to the extent necessary to form a partnership, but as long as the two of you remain linked as partners in that team, the planetary energies of its composite chart are at the disposal of both of you.
We may think that we are in charge when it comes to selecting another person to be our mate, but I am not so sure that is always the case. Some composite charts have so many synchronicities, so many close alignments of multiple planets, that they appear to be alchemical experiments orchestrated by Fate from the Other Side. In particular, I have seen these close linkages in the composite charts of certain couples whose lives have received intense media exposure, as if the lives of these couples were meant to be teaching tools.
The composite chart of Prince Charles and Princess Diana is a perfect example of a composite chart that featured multiple exact planet linkages. Two planets are at 5 degrees, two planets are at 16 degrees, two planets are at 17 degrees, almost conjunct the Midheaven at 18 degrees, four planets are at 26 degrees and the remaining planet is at 27 degrees. These linkages channeled the couple’s behavior during their short marriage to an extreme degree. The composite charts of the former President of Argentina, Juan Perón, with his two successive wives, Evita and Isabel, show such striking similarities that the astrologer must conclude that Juan Perón was truly a Man of Destiny.
I have also seen in composite charts between members of the same family some very interesting chart patterns that repeat or alternate, indicating that these souls were brought together in order to work on similar life lessons.
You may or may not have amazingly synchronized linkages with your partner, but you can be sure that you picked each other because subconsciously you detected that the interaction between the two of you had an interesting quality to it. You felt like what was created when the two of you came together was something larger than yourself, was something that provided room for you to grow, and finally was a direction in which you wanted to grow.
The interpretations that follow of the planetary placements and aspects in the composite chart for you and your partner will describe the nature of the relationship environment in which you and your partner have your being. It should not come as a big surprise to you, since you have actually been living the life that it describes, but it should help you to be more conscious about your relationship and it may validate some of your unconscious perceptions. Some placements and aspects are mostly harmonious – you know that you have support in those areas. Other placements and aspects challenge you to work and try harder to get the desired response – these are actually the growth opportunities that attracted you to this relationship. If your relationship ever became ‘perfect’ you would quickly get bored and would want more challenge. That is just part of human nature. We want to feel needed and we want to keep growing.
Combined Planets in the Houses
Sun in the Tenth House
A sense of destiny pervades your pairing. It is not that you feel you have entered into a zone of déjà vu, but more that fate has introduced you in order to accomplish a definite purpose. Even if your relationship is not new but cements a familiar partnership, you will feel the anticipation and excitement of something “different” that puts success within your reach.
Your association will probably encourage you to combine careers since, as a team, you project the image that you are a power to be reckoned with. This will be most evident if you come to the attention of the public in some manner.
If yours is not a love connection, you will still bond with warm personal feelings. In disputes, take care not to disturb your stability, but you should not ignore any real emotional differences or problems.
You will undoubtedly complete whatever project you begin. Each time, you will have the enormous satisfaction of attaining mutual achievement to boost your appreciation of your valuable alliance.
Moon in the Tenth House
Here is your chance at a new beginning. Combine your past experiences to succeed in whatever direction you choose to investigate. However, be principled in your actions. Quite often, your partnership will bring one or both of you before the public. It is imperative that each of you can stand the harsh reality of scrupulous examination. Be sure that you can and are willing to share the spotlight.
You will probably be extremely conscious of the impression you create from the inception of your pairing. Your actions, both with each other and with the outside world are liable to invite open evaluation. You may have combined or integrated careers or even come together to establish or achieve new heights together. It is almost as though through joining with another person you now see that your own potential is far better than what may have satisfied you in the past.
Two things are important to your success: Setting a goal and sticking to it; keeping in touch with feelings that bind you together. Otherwise, you may waste valuable time fluctuating over what you really want as a couple. Do not risk losing the unusual opportunities inherent in your pairing.
Mercury in the Tenth House
By now, you should think you know what you want and how to achieve it. A partnership may somehow enhance your chances of getting it! However, even if you had a set of personal goals before forming your liaison, you may change your ideas and elevate your sights when you invite the views of others.
Certainly, your team will experience a mutual growth even if one of you provides building blocks that the other will use as stepping stones to gain the spotlight of success.
It is entirely possible that you will receive the notice of the public, for you enjoy the attention of others. This is not to say that every road will be an easy one, but through careful planning, you should be able to put your heads together and take the right direction towards your objectives.
One of the great benefits of your pairing, either for romance or for business, is that every day will seem like a new day. Each achievement will inspire you to expand your potential further. You are truly blessed and you know it – which often makes you popular role models. Given a little encouragement, you will share your accomplishments by advising enthusiastically to “Go and do likewise.”
Venus in the Eighth House
This is kind of a karmic placement for Venus. Your meeting could be a matter of fate. Through one another, you will experience a complete metamorphosis in your lives. Everything will take on an intensity that will be reflected in every area, from your love life to your business affairs, which you may find require more attention than you have ever experienced. It is as though the universe drew you together for a definite purpose – the intrigue of solving what that may be is part of the draw. Therefore, it is important that you keep your affairs in order and advise your partner of any change of status in all areas of your lives together.
You have a unique creative connection. You can anticipate each other’s creative thoughts. You may be able to create an inheritance of some substance. Or it may be your turn to be beneficiaries, sharing an inheritance. A will is a good idea while both partners are able to agree on proper division of mutual assets.
In business, you may create something between you worth publishing. Very likely, it will contain information regarding your experiences which others may recycle for their own benefits. In effect, you are capable of creating a legacy for those who come after you.
The second half of this report will give the meaning of any aspects that exist in the composite chart involving Venus. You must combine this house placement interpretation with those Venus aspect interpretations, as they will modulate the planet’s expression in this house.
Mars in the Tenth House
You will move heaven and earth to prove to the world your success as partners. You can make opportunities happen for each other’s careers. Since the energy that you put into achieving your goals is unquestioned, your confidence builds with every achievement. It is unlikely that you will stumble by trying to pick up the pieces of those dreams you may not have fulfilled. You have a healthy attitude of “that was then — this is now!” With nothing to prove to yourselves, the way is wide open to take the lead and inspire others. You have a real world attitude and you are blunt and outspoken. For this reason, others look to you for leadership.
About the only disagreement you may have with each other on both a personal or a professional level (and they are often combined) is how you accomplish your objectives. Bluntly, if “push comes to shove,” someone is going to be hurt. As long as you agree on your purpose, it is important that you use your combined strengths to accomplish it as quickly as possible and not waste your energy in squabbles over who gets the credit. Remember that you are a team, which means that you have a partner to help propel you beyond your personal expectations into a stratosphere you may not have imagined.
It will help your relationship last for you both to feel equally visible and involved, instead of one partner controlling everything. Important decisions must be mutual, not unilateral.
Enjoy the moment. It may not come again.
Jupiter in the Fifth House
Put your creative imaginations to work for you. You can become super-achievers without really trying. If there is a secret to your success in business, it is the sheer joy of combining your considerable talents and basking in the admiration of those who stand by for the (spectacular) results. Anything that calls forth your ingenuity is a welcome challenge.
In a love relationship, sexual activities take on a new meaning. No one, but no one seems to enjoy the physical side of a relationship more than you do. Marriage is really not an issue here, but chances are that if you choose to escalate your partnership, you will continue the fantasy and fun you have known as singles.
In either case, everything you have, own, or do is open for inspection. It just would not occur to you that your make-believe, playtime world is not acceptable to others. You are prime examples of what a real joy a life can be if only you are not afraid to live it to the fullest.
Saturn in the Second House
This placement puts an emphasis on your physical bodies, on your physical relationship, and on your earnings and possessions. It is good for having children. It is great that you have this physical bond, but because your relationship has such a physical focus, it may leave you with unfulfilled spiritual yearnings. You can expect attacks of physical illness during your time together.
Values will set the tone for your relationship, including a sense of thrift that goes beyond finance and can extend to a reluctance to share your feelings with another. In almost any task, you will choose to belabor each point because of an inborn dread of being “wrong” or inadequately prepared. These insecurities can cause quarrels in either a personal or business partnership. It will be difficult to repair a breach, but a pat on the back will go a long way in restoring the confidence that you both need in order to continue your pairing.
In business, you may tend to be too conservative and may pass up opportunities for expansion because you are afraid to let go of the familiar. This does not mean that you should discard experience that has stood you in good stead in the past. Rather, look for opportunities to apply that know-how to see if it works for you now, or perhaps use your partner’s input to do things differently than you might, if on your own.
One of your greatest assets is your persistence in sticking to projects until you have exhausted every opportunity to bring things to a successful conclusion. With a collaborator whose mind is as resolute as your own, you could just make the grade.
Uranus in the Third House
An element of rebellion could have brought you together – a determination to do your own thing, despite what your relatives want. The attraction could have been immediate. You were attracted to each other’s charisma. The relationship is mentally stimulating, liberating, and emancipating for you, such as in outgrowing repressive expectations from your youth. The placement helps to keep you from getting bored with each other.
Neptune in the Fourth House
The Fourth House represents the home and Neptune is opposed to structure. Neptune located here can prevent you from either making a home together or keeping it. If you succeed, your home will have a distinctly new style. You could generously open your home to animals or orphans. Major problems that can arise with mysterious Neptune can include deception, infidelity, or alcohol abuse. You may manage to keep your relationship going, but your flight together could hit a rough patch of emotional turbulence. If you have problems, ask yourself if you are not in some unconscious rebellion against a parent figure.
Pluto in the Second House
Together you are productive on the material plane. A strong sexual attraction may have brought you together. You make each other feel secure. You are an asset to each other and to your family and friends. Your home and life together will have a lively bustle to it. You have the ability to define values and structure for your community. Rewarding from a material viewpoint, your life may have some behind-the-scenes chaos. If your relationship does break up, it will be because one or both of you is too attached to sex or money.
Planets in Aspect
Sun conjunct Moon (Strength: 12.76)
This is a beautiful connection that brings a deep and satisfying love (if yours is a love relationship) or a very emotionally satisfying friendship. The Moon, the planet of emotional depth, is enlivened by a close connection to the warmth of the Sun. You share a very strong and loving bond in your relationship that can weather the most severe challenges when they arise. Even if you are not compatible in other areas of your composite chart, the deep love present between you in this aspect can act as a binding agent that keeps the two of you together. When you disagree, you seek new and creative ways to work things out. You trust that love will conquer all and that it will find a way to blossom even more completely as your relationship matures.
If yours is an intimate relationship, there will likely be a strong sexual attraction between you reflecting the natural attraction between masculine Sun and feminine Moon. If yours is a friendship or a more businesslike relationship, you will find an easy and receptive compatibility between you and your friend or partner that brings you closer together for whatever is your stated purpose. All in all this is an excellent aspect for any type of close interaction.
There is a lesson in this for you. If there are any major conflicts between you, they are likely to involve your egos and sense of pride. If you allow your egos to express themselves as they wish, any incompatibilities between you could begin to take on added importance and be blown out of proportion. If you allow it, this dynamic could overwhelm your relationship. The love you share is a universal feeling, while your egos tend to be concerned only with individual needs. If satisfying your own individual egos becomes the priority, the love you feel could turn to hatred. Keep your egos in check and learn to flow with the love that is present between you. You might then be able to take your relationship to higher levels of emotional enjoyment. If you remain considerate of each other’s needs, this aspect indicates a truly beautiful relationship for most types of partnerships.
Neptune sextile Pluto (Strength: 4.29)
This aspect exposes your dreams and ideals to the harsh light of day, which could disillusion you and force you to grow up quickly. It introduces you to the big picture, especially when it comes to the arts, such as literature, film, and music. You know how to reach a mass audience. You are a good judge of quality and associate yourself with the best people. Your approach tends to combine tenderness with mental ferocity. You like your freedom and would not like to be confined by a traditional system or even by traditional morals. You could be part of a network of friends who share modern concepts.
Moon in discordant aspect to Venus (Strength: 3.30)
What have you gotten yourself into here? There is an undeniable attraction between you, even love and affection, but if this aspect is at all close, you will only put up with the emotional difficulties and willfulness between you if the composite chart has strong Saturn aspects. It will take some effort on your parts to handle the problems in your relationship.
You do enjoy being with each other and having fun together. You want to fill your surroundings with harmony and beauty. There will likely be minor problems associated with this. Things won’t flow smoothly between you. You will probably find that you should not spend 24 hours per day with each other. It will help your relationship to spend time apart. Your love for each other will teach you how to deal with your situation.
You are learning about the deeper promise of love and emotional creativity. There can be a compulsive quality in your attraction, and you may share a feeling that you need to come together for some reason that has to do with the inevitability of your union. You may be approaching each other from your own individual perspectives. Perhaps one or both of you are not yet ready to let go of your ego enough to become a single emotional unit. You expect your partner to fit your idea of how things should be rather than lovingly examining the need to change yourself, thereby creating blocks to the flow of emotional energy between you. A sense of emotional separation could create tension between you and block the compatibility that is possible with your relationship.
Moon trine Pluto (Strength: 3.02)
Emotional intensity runs powerfully and deeply throughout your relationship. You will open yourself to an emotional depth that will surprise you and fill you with the deeply intense power inherent in your feelings, for better or worse. Much of what will come up for you will be difficult to deal with, but you have found someone who can help you to heal your wounds from childhood. If you can help your partner heal, you will heal yourself. There can be a sense of death and rebirth in this that gives your relationship the feeling that your union is somehow fated in nature. Yours is a relationship that embraces the subconscious and psychotherapeutic depth of your psyches, as if you are on a shamanic journey with each other in search of the power that drives your emotional interaction. There can be a lot of psychoanalyzing between you, and much will arise that could be repulsive and fearful. You might have to deal with a lot of possessiveness and jealousy because you will equate the potential loss of your partner with the emotional death of your own life.
While this is a good aspect for any relationship requiring emotional connection, the power and the focus inherent in this aspect will not make it an easy connection. If there is love between you, it will intensify that love. Most importantly, you must respect and honor each other’s emotional and psychological processes. By looking at your relationship as if it truly is a shamanic journey and a continuing process of psychological discovery and therapy, you can add an important sense of meaning to your lives. This can help you to deal more effectively with your fears and your other distressing emotions.
Sun trine Pluto (Strength: 2.99)
As a couple, you tend to be self-sufficient and private. You are connected with a deep source of power, which you project out into your surrounding environment. You touch each other in ways that promote tremendous amounts of psychological growth. The emotional intensity and passion of your relationship serves this process by constantly strengthening the bond between you. If yours is an intimate relationship, you will approach sex as a powerful process of releasing and expressing transformative and renewing energies from deep within you that fill your relationship with meaning.
As a team, regardless of the type of relationship, you will find that you can be very powerful as agents of change in your world. You have the ability to influence others, and to touch something deep within them. As is always the case when encountering the power hidden deep within your own psyche, it can be very wise and beneficial to use aids along this dark and powerful path. Yours is a relationship that touches the deeper archetypal levels of awareness in your life – there is a danger that this type of power can overwhelm you and affect you in destructive ways. Psychological processes, including Jungian and post-Jungian work with mythology can prove useful in understanding the deeper nature of the powers that you have at your disposal. Spiritual techniques can be helpful by bringing in light energy, in order better to master your powerful, deep, and mysterious energies. Shamanic work can help as well, as this type of work seems directly connected to the deep underworld psychological journey that your relationship offers. You are delving into realms within you that are supra rational and that require non-rational or supra-rational methods of understanding.
Jupiter sextile Uranus (Strength: 2.84)
Life is an adventure of discovery for the two of you, and you approach it with a sense of inventiveness and innovation. You enjoy the freedom of heading out into new frontiers of exploration. You do this as individuals, allowing each other the freedom to experience life in your own ways. There is a beautiful balance between you that can give you the ability to experiment with new ideas and experiences without overdoing it and over-extending yourselves.
Because your vision of what you want is open to innovative and unconventional ideas, you will have a greater ability actually to manifest them.
If yours is a professional relationship, your leading edge innovative mind will help you to solve any problems that arise. You will be able to think outside the box and come up with new and innovative ways to deal with challenges. You will be rewarded with many new insights and experiences in your journey of discovery together.
Moon opposite Neptune (Strength: 2.74)
You inspire and challenge each other. You may have been initially attracted to each other because you saw an image of your ideal partner, your soul mate. Your relationship presents the image of an ideal union but not necessarily the reality of one. There can be a tendency to recreate your partner into an idealized fantasy partner that has little to do with who they really are. Whether your relationship works out will depend on the composite chart as a whole. In many ways, you are opposites of each other. One of you sees your relationship as healthy when in fact it is not. Perhaps one of you idealizes your relationship, seeing it as beautifully perfect, while the other one is selfishly seeking their own personal ends. You might be involved with your partner because subconsciously you see an opportunity to become a savior. You might desire to sacrifice your life in order to “save” your partner. On the other hand, maybe you want to be saved. Your relationship could have an addictive quality that makes it an emotional prison of sorts.
Each of you projects your glamorous fantasies and emotional dramas onto the other. Within this connection, there is very little real, solid emotional contact between you. You both live in separate dream worlds and are unable to find solid common ground except that you have come together in order to act as projection screens for each other.
While this might seem hopeless, there is much that you can learn from your relationship. Your emotional natures require a solid and practical foundation, while your contact with each other shows you the potential for a higher, more ideal spiritual connection. Your emotions are trying to harmonize with this ideal higher connection. While trying to deal with a messy mundane world, it can be invaluable to have trusted friends who are not affected by the dreamy confusion that afflicts your relationship, so that you can ask for guidance and get a reality check for your decisions and actions. Embracing a spiritual practice together can also be beneficial by helping you to maintain a practical approach to attaining your spiritual and ideal goals. By approaching your relationship in a disciplined and practical spiritual way you might just find the beauty in each other that you have envisioned.
Sun opposite Neptune (Strength: 2.71)
It appears as if you have found your perfect mate and when you met you immediately idealized each other. The two of you were initially drawn to each other by the otherworldly, spiritual, and idealistic energy of Neptune. This ideal can very easily be an illusion, and you must remain very down to earth when examining your relationship. Underneath the illusion that you have drawn around your relationship, there are several ways in which you can too easily be deluded. There can be a savior-victim dynamic that brings you together, in which one of you is looking to save someone, or possibly seeking salvation yourself and needing to be saved through love. In cases like this there is usually little or no real healing that takes place because the two of you need to continue the dysfunctional nature of your relationship in order to keep you together. The love and devotion that is promised in your partnership usually only results in disillusionment and disappointment when you find that things do not always work out in a spiritual and high minded way.
There might also be outright lies and deception between you with one of you being fearful that you need to lie in order to get what you want. You may be afraid of losing something in your relationship, possibly your partner’s love and support. On the other hand, you might feel that everything is perfect, while your partner is taking advantage of you at every step. Perhaps both of you feel the idealistic potential yet you bring conflicting ideals to your relationship.
In any event, there is a battle going on between you involving the dream world that you are creating together. You see the potential for a spiritual perfection with your partner that is deeply attractive, yet you cannot quite connect with it. If yours is a love relationship and you choose to work things through, then you might find that introducing a spiritual practice into your life can help to give your relationship focus and direction. This can help you to find a sense of truth or spiritual reality within the illusion/delusion that you are living. Take frequent vacations from one another in order to regenerate your energies and your emotional connection. This can give you the time and space to look at your life rationally and see where things need to be improved.
Mars opposite Neptune (Strength: 2.63)
You could be two rather glamorous and/or spiritual people who are bound together by your sexual connection. You could come close to each other’s ideal partner, at least at the start of your relationship. You find each other very interesting. However, your relationship itself tends to be unfocused, and you can find it difficult to keep your energy level up enough to complete anything. You can go up and down quite suddenly, and can feel strong at one moment and weak and debilitated the next. Your reserves of energy seem to dissolve away when you need them most. As soon as you begin a course of action, on some level you will feel the need to escape and thereby lose any incentive that you had when you began. What is essentially happening is that you are each bringing your own ego expressions into a single relationship that demands that you learn to transcend your individual wills. As you try to work with each other, the energies that you have at your disposal are lost in a fog layer that covers the mundane ego level of interaction. If you never look up or try to rise above the fog, you will run into constant confusion, uncertainty, lack of clarity, and potential dishonesty and deception. Since you are not able to see your goals clearly, your energies have nowhere to focus. By seeking the ideal in your relationship, and by trying to recognize the spiritual significance in your actions, you then have a chance of clearing the fog away. You must rise above the fog and into the higher realms of light in order to regain your lost focus.
You will need to be extremely honest with each other, and to work on achieving greater clarity. You need to let go of your ego needs because the spiritual energies that you share consider ego unessential for this higher plane of action. Spiritual disciplines, as well as spiritual knowledge, can help keep you focused on where to place your energies. This can be helpful in your bedroom as well. Spiritualizing your sexual interaction through techniques such as tantra can give it a higher focus. If you seek the truth and spiritual understanding rather than individual personal expressions, you can create a beautiful relationship between you.
Mercury sextile Venus (Strength: 2.38)
Communication between you is pleasant and easy, perhaps too easy, which could give you a rather glib, superficial relationship. You have the ability to please each other with pretty words, but your relationship needs more than that. Use this aspect to express all of your emotions, your affections, and your ideas verbally. You are far more receptive to each other in other areas of intimate interaction when you keep your lines of communication wide open. Affectionate and open communication can be a powerful aphrodisiac.
There is a strong focus on maintaining harmonious interaction between you, and this can be a problem, albeit a minor one. You will tend to avoid topics that are unpleasant or that might lead to confrontation, and shy away from anything that might upset the harmony of your relationship. Personal growth as well as the growth of your relationship often requires that you stand up and face unpleasant or difficult issues that can be important to you. The harmonizing energy inherent in your relationship indicates that you have the ability to handle these situations. Moreover, you might find that by clearing the air the harmony between you actually improves.
Beauty is important to the two of you, and you could expend much energy creating a beautiful home or office environment in which you can live and/or work. This sense of beauty extends into your social sphere. You enjoy being together and having fun together. If yours is a professional partnership, you can be successful and fulfilled in fields requiring artistic and aesthetic sensibilities such as design, theater, entertainment, photography, or related fields.
Mercury conjunct Mars (Strength: 2.08)
You could have met as a result of one of you being very forward and direct with the other. It actually makes for a healthy relationship when at least one of you knows what he or she wants. The way in which you communicate with each other is energetic and forceful. You put a lot of energy behind your ideas, which you express forcefully and passionately. On the one hand, this creates a dynamic type of communication between you that you can use for intellectual growth and creativity. On the other hand, the Martian energy involved can create an environment of tension that could range from minor irritations to full-blown heated arguments and even outright fights. You easily rise up to the challenge of promoting and defending your ideas and points of view. Your goal is to win the argument, regardless of your partner’s feelings. At these times, you might find that you can win more through diplomacy than you can by attacking each other.
You can find success together by promoting ideas that you both believe in to an audience, in sales, or in other fields that involve ideas and require verbal persuasiveness.
