The concept behind the composite chart or sometimes calls it, the compost chart is that it represents the relationship itself as a third factor. According to astrologers, the composite chart will give clues as to the nature and function of the relationship. Two people create a third thing between them. In astrology, a composite chart is a chart that is composed of the planetary midpoints of two or more horoscopes. Practitioners of astrology commonly construct a composite chart when two people meet.
The composite chart does not seem to describe what either person feels about the other. In this way it is very different from synastry, which describes the chemistry between two people in terms of how they affect each other. When we are looking at a composite chart, we are not exploring what two people activate in each other or feel about each other. We are interpreting the energy field they generate between them. The composite chart is like a child, a third entity which carries the genetic imprints of both parents but combines these imprints in an entirely new way and exists independently of either of them.
The composite has all the same features as a birth chart; we need to approach its interpretation in more or less the same way. The composite chart has a core identity which signifies its purpose the Sun and a characteristic set of emotional responses and needs the Moon. It has a mode of communication Mercury and a distinctive set of values and ideals Venus. It has a mode of expressing energy and will Mars. It has its own way of growing and expanding Jupiter and it has innate limitations and defence mechanisms Saturn. It has a specific vulnerability to the collective due to patterns from the collective background of the relationship Chiron.
