What is the difference between synastry, composite and Davison chart
If synastry explores how person A influences person B (a dialogue between two personalities), then the Composite and Davison Map study the union as an independent third entity - “We”. 1) The Composite Chart is constructed using the method of mathematical midpoints (midpoints): the average coordinate between the Suns of both partners, between their Moons, Mercurys and house cusps is calculated. The composite shows the deep energy matrix of the couple; 2) Davison Relationship Chart is a full-fledged physical natal chart, designed for a strict average time (average Julian day) and average geographical coordinates between the births of both partners. Using Davison's map, you can build full-fledged transits and progressions, predicting the exact turning dates in the life of the union.
How to Read and Interpret a Relationship Map
1. Composite/Davison Ascendant
How the outside world perceives the couple: the social mask of the union, the first impression and the joint image among friends and relatives.
2. Position of the composite Sun
The meaning and mission of the existence of the union: in the 10th house - joint business and status, in the 4th - family and home, in the 5th - creativity and children.
3. Composite Moon position
The internal psychological atmosphere in a couple’s home: the degree of tenderness, care and emotional comfort behind closed doors.
4. Stelliums and aspect figures in the couple’s chart
The concentration of planets shows in which area the union generates maximum energy and where the main resources of the couple are directed.
Composite and Davison at Astroprognostic
Astroprognostic calculates both the midpoint composite (using Robert Hand's method) and the real Davison space-time map. Both options are rendered on a full-fledged wheel with a full aspect grid, houses and the ability to scan transits at union points to predict crises and wedding dates.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should you watch a composite and when should you watch a synastry? ▼
Synastry is looked at at the stage of acquaintance and dating in order to understand the compatibility of characters. The composite and Davison map are included when a couple already exists as a union (marriage, cohabitation, common business) and a single common field has been formed.
Is it possible to view forecasts (transits) using a composite map? ▼
For classical transits, the Davison map is better suited, since it is tied to a real point in time in the ephemeris. However, transits of slow planets along composite midpoints also give a powerful event resonance.
