The Composite Chart, formed with the midpoints (or ‘half-sums’) of corresponding planets and points in two charts is interesting in itself as a dynamic structure - but even more so when mapped back onto each of the two radices to search out alignments of planets and angles. This provides another vivid perspective on what two people mean to each other, what chords they literally strike in each other, and whether they are on the same wave-length or not. Reflexes are involved in this, of course, in the sense that a Midpoint becomes an axis across which two people mirror each other.
But it is not just people to whom Composites apply. Great insight can be gained into the meaning ofevents and developments for individuals through mapping the Composites of their natal charts with transits or progressions. The significance of Eclipses, treated this way, becomes even more pointed. I recommend use of a three-ring wheel as it helps to bring the key contacts between A, B and Composite into focus.
