Which Relationship Chart Should I Use?

Three methods look at a relationship from three angles. Here is when each one helps.

Synastry

When you want to compare two separate charts side by side.

Overlays two people’s charts to show whose planets touch which areas of the other’s life, and where attraction and tension sit. The starting point for communication, emotional fit, and dynamics.

Synastry Chart

Composite Chart

When you want to see the relationship itself as a single chart.

Builds one “relationship chart” from the midpoints of two charts. It speaks to the shared purpose and character of the bond rather than the individuals.

Composite Chart

Davison Chart

When you want a chart based on a real time and place.

A real chart calculated from the midpoint in time and space between two births. Similar to the composite, but grounded in an actual moment and location.

Davison Chart

Not sure?

If you are new, start with Synastry — it is the most intuitive. If you are curious about the relationship’s shared identity, move on to Composite or Davison.
