The Composite Chart
The composite is the midpoint of positions: for each planet we take the point exactly halfway between where it sat in each person's chart. The result is a single derived chart that portrays the relationship as a blend of two natures.
It is a mathematical average, not a chart cast for any real moment — so it has no true rising sign or houses. For a relationship chart anchored to an actual instant in spacetime, see the Davison tab.
The Davison Relationship Chart
The Davison chart is a real chart cast for the relationship's midpoint in spacetime: the moment exactly halfway (in Universal Time) between the two birth moments, at the geographic midpoint between the two birthplaces.
Because it is an actual chart for an actual instant, it carries a genuine Ascendant, real houses, and the true planetary sky of that moment — which is what distinguishes it from the composite's averaging of positions.
Sign Compatibility by Element
Understanding how the four elements interact is the foundation of astrological compatibility. Full synastry goes far deeper — use the calculator above for a complete picture.
Fire Signs — Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Fire signs thrive with fellow Fire (shared passion and drive) and Air signs (Air fans the flames). Water can extinguish Fire's enthusiasm, while Earth may feel too slow or restrictive. Key strengths: vitality, inspiration, spontaneous adventure.
Earth Signs — Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Earth signs blend beautifully with other Earth signs (shared values and groundedness) and Water signs (Water nourishes Earth's growth). Fire can feel restless, and Air may seem ungrounded. Key strengths: loyalty, stability, sensual depth.
Air Signs — Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Air signs connect effortlessly with fellow Air (meeting of minds) and Fire signs (ideas ignite action). Earth may feel heavy or limiting, while Water can be emotionally overwhelming. Key strengths: intellect, wit, adaptability.
Water Signs — Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Water signs form profound bonds with fellow Water (deep emotional attunement) and Earth signs (Earth holds Water safely). Fire can evaporate Water's sensitivity, and Air may feel too detached. Key strengths: empathy, intuition, transformation.

How It Works
What Is Synastry?
Synastry is the branch of astrology that compares two birth charts to analyse the relational dynamics between two people. By overlaying Person A's chart onto Person B's, we reveal every cross-chart planetary aspect — Venus conjunct Mars, Sun trine Moon, Saturn square Mercury — each carrying its own signature of attraction, challenge, or harmony.
Harmonious aspects such as trines (120°) and sextiles (60°) indicate areas of natural flow and mutual support — where each person brings out the best in the other. Dynamic aspects like squares (90°) and oppositions (180°) show points of tension that, when understood, can become powerful engines of growth. Conjunctions (0°) intensify and merge the energies of the planets involved.
AstroPrecise calculates all Ptolemaic aspects with standard orbs — 8° for major aspects, 4° for minor ones — giving you a complete and accurate picture of your inter-chart dynamics. The score is derived from a weighted analysis of aspect harmony, elemental balance, and house overlays.
