The Composite Chart is the only chart that offers you a snapshot of any relationship, outside of time an space. You put two people together as one, and you can see the beginning, the middle & the end, then back to the beginning, again. The Sun in the Composite chart is the heart, or the main reason you are together–and why you put stake into being in the relationship at all. (Look at the the house first & sign as a secondary indicator, for the full picture).
If you want to find your Composite chart, go to Astro.com. In the Extended Chart Selection, underneath “chart type” select Composite Chart Midpoint-method”. Put the two partners (relationship between ANY two people, not just romantic) into the Birth Data section. After you click to see the chart, find the Sun sign symbol, then read the descriptions below for Sign and House.
Composite Sun in the 1H/Aries
With the Composite Sun in the 1st house, the relationship can be very important to both of you. It can be the main focus each of you has, for better or worse, and you can identify strongly with the relationship. You can feel that you’re capable of more together and in the relationship than you are on your own.
The upside of this placement is that the relationship is so important to both of you, but the downside is you can get too caught up in the relationship and need to make sure you don’t lose your individual identities.
Composite Sun in the 2H/Taurus
With the Composite Sun in the 2nd house, a common value system is important to keep the relationship going, if it’s a personal or romantic relationship. If you don’t see eye-to-eye on your values, this can be a point of contention between you and you can try to convince one another of your views in a stubborn way.
This can be an excellent position for a business relationship because this house rules money and assets, and you can benefit one another financially and make more money together.
Composite Sun in the 3H/Gemini
With the Composite Sun in the 3rd house, you can have open communication and feel that you connect through your minds.
This position can give a good mental connection and mental understanding, but you need to work on having an emotional connection, otherwise it can struggle to go beyond a casual relationship.
This can be a good placement for a friendship, where strings aren’t necessarily important, but in a romantic relationship, you have to open up about more than just your thoughts, but your feelings as well.
Composite Sun in the 4H/Cancer
With the Composite Sun in the 4th house, an emotional connection can be strong, and since this is the house of home and family, this is a good position if you’re going to connect your personal lives and live together, grow a family, or are family.
You can feel comfortable with one another, but if it’s a romantic relationship, you need to make sure you don’t get *too* comfortable and things get stale and boring.
In a professional relationship, you can work together to build something from the ground up and take a long journey together. Watch for being subjective with this placement.
Composite Sun in the 5H/Leo
With the Composite Sun in the 5th house, this is the house of fun and hobbies, so you can greatly enjoy one another’s company and have fun together.
This house rules romance, so it’s a good placement for a fun romantic relationship, but a lasting, committed relationship may be difficult to create without a strong Saturn or 7th house placements.
This is a good placement for friends, and you can allow one another to be yourselves without any strings. Since this is the house ruling children, it can be a good position if you want to have children together, or this is a parent/child relationship.
Composite Sun in the 6H/Virgo
With the Composite Sun in the 6th house, you can be very practical in your approach to the relationship, and if it’s a romantic relationship, you may be lacking in real sparks or romance.
One of you may do more than the other, which can create a dynamic where one of you takes and takes, and the other gives and gives, which eventually leads to resentment. You need to avoid an unequal distribution of effort.
Since this house rules health, it can be a good placement with someone who is helping you with your health, like a doctor, trainer, dietician, etc.
Composite Sun in the 7H/Libra
With the Composite Sun in the 7th house, this is the house of relationships and so it can be an excellent position. You can view one another as equals and treat each other as such.
You can work together as real partners and work to make the relationship or partnership better. Commitment can be easier with this placement, and this house does rule marriage, so it can be good for a married couple.
But even a professional relationship can benefit from this placement, and you can find you work together in a manner that’s fair and balanced.
Composite Sun in the 8H/Scorpio
With the Composite Sun in the 8th house, you can have a very serious relationship. The 8th house can be the darkest and most serious house, so this position can show a serious relationship that can’t be taken lightly, even if it’s a professional one.
The 8th house rules transformations, so you can find that the relationship changes you or an aspect of your life in some way. This can be a good placement for a business partnership since this house rules other people’s money and shared resources.
Watch for having extreme emotions with one another, or with trying to control or dominate one another.
Composite Sun in the 9H/Sagittarius
With the Composite Sun in the 9th house, you can have wonderful conversation and freely share your ideas, your knowledge, and your beliefs.
You can explore together, expand your lives together, and have fun together, but in a personal relationship, there can be difficulties with giving one another enough space.
You may feel like you’re constantly drifting apart, afraid of being tethered down. This can be an excellent position for a friendship, or for a teacher/student relationship.
Composite Sun in the 10H/Capricorn
With the Composite Sun in the 10th house, this can be a good placement for a professional relationship since this house rules career, life path, and goals. This is the highest part of the chart, so you can achieve a lot together and feel you’re reaching new heights together.
You can achieve greater status and success. Other people may look at your relationship or partnership as some sort of ideal, but you shouldn’t focus on that yourselves. In a personal relationship, you’ll need to work on opening up emotionally and not holding back.
Composite Sun in the 11H/Aquarius
With the Composite Sun in the 11th house, this is the house of friendship, so it’s obviously an excellent placement for a friendship connection. Even in a professional or romantic relationship, there can be a base of friendship you build your relationship or partnership on.
You can work together to have an impact on the world as a whole, so this can be a good position for a philanthropic partnership. You can spur one another on to work toward your ideal futures, and try to achieve your dreams together.
Composite Sun in the 12th House/Pisces
With the Composite Sun in the 12th house, this can be a difficult position to have. The 12th house is the house of the hidden, so some aspect of yourselves or of the relationship (or even the relationship itself) may remain hidden.
You may hide parts of yourself from the other person or they hide parts of themselves from you, you get lost in the relationship and sacrifice yourself, you keep the relationship secret, or it’s difficult for you to be open.
You can become aware of your subconscious issues and motivations, which can make you feel uncomfortable with the other person. This house rules karma, so you may be coming together for a reason, but you also need to make sure you’re seeing the relationship for what it is.
