A tool that blends the natal charts of two or more individuals to create a single chart, and provides analysis of the generated astrological placements is a method used to examine the dynamics of relationships. This involves using software or online resources to generate a new chart with planetary positions calculated from the midpoints between each corresponding planet in the individual charts. For example, if one person has the Sun at 10 degrees Aries, and the other has the Sun at 20 degrees Aries, the composite Sun will be at 15 degrees Aries. The resulting chart is then interpreted like a regular natal chart, offering insights into the relationship’s inherent character, challenges, and potential.
The value of this technique lies in its ability to illuminate the shared experiences and collective energy of a partnership, be it romantic, platonic, or professional. Historically, astrologers have sought to understand relationship compatibility through comparing individual charts (synastry). This method provides a complementary approach by creating a unified representation of the relationship itself, offering a unique perspective on its overall nature. The interpretation of this chart can offer guidance for navigating relationship dynamics, fostering understanding, and highlighting areas of potential growth.
