I’m currently going through a Uranus transit to my 6th house that will last until 2026. I find that personal experience means much more to me than cookie cutter descriptions, so here is what I have experienced personally:
Increased need for freedom at work
I actually got laid off my full time job when Uranus was transiting my 6th house, with an exact opposition to my natal Saturn in the 12th house. Saturn rules my 2nd house of finance and income, which makes sense given that my job was paying most of my bills.
Before I was let go, I was struggling to keep a good routine. I felt easily overwhelmed by daily tasks and demands, and resented having a boss and obligations. Being laid off was a bit of a relief, as if I was being set free to do something more authentic to me and my personal dreams.
Desire for self employment
During this transit, I developed a stronger desire to work on my own. Authority and expectations were difficult to handle, so a traditional work environment felt suffocating to me. While losing one’s job and steady income is not ideal, it can feel very freeing during this transit as well.
Since the lay off, I have been working on ways to make money on my own and build something on my own. I have a strong desire to work for myself and set my own routines.
Health issues
If you are stuck in a health rut, Uranus will turn your approach on its head. Uranus in the 6th house will force you to course correct by interrupting your health and diet routines with new approaches. A friend of mine found out she was pre diabetic during this transit, and has adopted a new and innovative diet that has helped her lose weight and heal herself.
Stress and digestive related disorders are common during this period as well. The sixth house rules the digestive system, so you might experience gastro issues when Uranus is here.
A sense of nervousness and anxiety has definitely taken hold of my during this cycle, especially when transiting Uranus made a square to my natal Mars. I feel stressed and overwhelmed at simple tasks and chores. My routine has been difficult to stick with due to some stress-induced insomnia and angst. The funny thing is I have very little stress in my life, yet I feel so stressed!
It is also common to visit new age practitioners or adopt ‘innovative’ was of dealing with whatever health issues pop up in this cycle. I saw about 4 naturopaths during this period, but found none of them helpful. I did, however, try out new diets and herbal treatments during this time.
Changes in your career or unexpected health issues are common during this transit given Uranus’ reputation for sudden, unexpected and revolutionary events.
If Uranus makes a hard aspect to a career related planet (like Saturn, Jupiter, Pluto, or the ruler of the 2nd/6th/10th houses) while transiting your 6th house, unexpected job changes (like a sudden layoff or change of boss) might be coming your way.
If Uranus makes a harmonious aspect to a career related planet (like Saturn, Jupiter, or the ruler of the 2nd/6th/10th houses) while transiting your 6th house, positive job changes might come into being, in form of a promotion or getting a better job.
Uranus in hard aspects to your 6th house ruler, and other planets, can bring changes to your health and routines. Harsh aspects can bring difficult health and routine problems, while harmonious aspects can bring positive changes to your health and routines.
Donald Trump has won the 2024 United States Presidential Election. What astrological influences are responsible for his win and Kamala’s loss?
In this article, we will discuss both candidates’ transits and progressions on the day of the election to understand how this all happened. I have seen some speculation about the next couple of months in regards to the upcoming retrogrades, but this article will focus only on Election Day transits and progressions for each candidate.
Saturn and Neptune were transiting her 10th house of career, status, and leadership which obviously affected her career. Some saw the Saturn transit to her 10th house as a very good sign, as Saturn is the planet of ambition, increased responsibility and prominence, which makes sense.
However, at the time of the election, Saturn was aspecting her natal 10th house Chiron- 4th house Uranus/Pluto opposition, which points to sudden and painful transformation related to career and home. Neptune was also transiting her 10th house at the time, making a square to her progressed Sun, which can indicate disappointments and confusion regarding her career goals and aspirations.
Trump’s Transits
Donald Trump had several interesting transits on Election Day. What stood out to me the most was Uranus transiting his 10th house of career, status, and leadership, which can bring major change, as well as instability and unpredictability to this area of life. Whether the transit is positive or negative depends on how Uranus aspects the native’s chart while transiting the 10th house. In Trump’s case, Uranus was exactly sextile his natal Venus on Election Day, which is very significant because Venus rules his 10th house.
Furthermore, transiting Jupiter was conjunct his North Node in the 10th house which is obviously a very positive transit. This indicates a period of growth, luck and expansion regarding his life path and destiny, which is closely tied to leadership and career in his chart. Transiting Venus was conjunct Kamala’s South Node at the time of the election, which I found very interesting given the North Node’s association with growth and development, and the South Node’s association with stagnation.
Trump’s Progressions
On its own, Trump’s Progressed Chart looks very powerful, with his Ascendant at 29 degrees Libra, which is a critical point suggesting culminations and transitions. Most importantly, his progressed Venus (which rules his progressed ascendant) is conjunct progressed Jupiter (1 degree applying), signifying expansion, luck and increased popularity. His Venus/Jupiter conjunction is also sextile his progressed Mercury in his progressed 10th house, another positive sign of growth in career matters.
Donald is in for a major shift between this year and mid 2025 while his Ascendant progresses thorough the final degree of Libra, and when his Ascendant shifts to scorpio and his Progressed Libra stellium moves to the progressed 12th house.
It was interesting to look at his progressions for the last two elections. When he won the first time in 2016, his progressed Libra Ascendant was conjunct his progressed Jupiter, indicating luck, growth, and success. In 2020, his progressed Venus, which ruled his progressed Ascendant was conjunct his progressed Chiron, indicating vulnerability, pain, and wounding.
Kamala’s Progressed Chart
Kamala has some positive progressions at this time, including her progressed Jupiter in her progressed 10th house trine Pluto in her 2nd house. This progression points to luck, transformation and expansion in her public life. In her progressed chart, Jupiter rules her 5th house, which makes sense given her being ‘in the spotlight’ during this time. She has certainly gained a lot of popularity in the last while, and this popularity is likely to continue after the election.
However, her progressed Venus, which rules her 10th house, is square her progressed Saturn (separating by 1 degree). Saturn in hard aspect to the ruler of the 10th house can indicate delays, difficulties, and obstacles related to career and public image.
When comparing her progressed chart to her natal chart, it gets even more interesting. The ruler of her chart Mercury has progressed to Sagittarius, the sign of its detriment in retrograde. On top of this, her progressed Mercury is also conjunct her natal South Node/Descendant conjunction. Her South Node/Descendant conjunction indicates her partnerships at this time (including open enemies and opponents) are highly karmic and rooted in her past lives. This configuration of planets points to a repetition of patterns and events from the past.
It is also interesting to note Donald is a Gemini, so Kamala’s progressed Mercury can represent Donald himself. In their synastry, Donald and Kamala share very powerful nodal connections, with Donald’s Sun-Moon opposition falling along Kamala’s Node-Ascendant. The conjunction of Donald’s Moon to Kamala’s South Node/Descendant conjunction indicates their ‘partnership’ is indeed rooted in the past, so it makes sense Kamala’s South Node is activated by progression in her own chart. Major karmic action is at play here.
Trump’s stars in 2025 are very intense. His progressed Ascendant will still be at the 29th degree of Libra for most of the year before it moves into Scorpio in the middle of the year, signaling a huge shift for the incoming president. In addition, he has heightened and possible ‘dangerous’ activity in his chart in April and May 2025.

Divorce can be very hard to predict, but astrology can help us determine what kinds of aspects would make a divorce more likely. In this article, we discuss which aspects can point to divorce in the natal chart and composite chart, as well as transits and progressions that point to breakups and separation.
Natal chart aspects:
Uranus
The planet Uranus represents freedom, change, and independence. When it is connected to the 7th house, an erratic and unpredictable romantic life is indicated. Some people with strong Uranus in their charts don’t bother marrying at all, while others opt for unconventional relationships. Many Uranian folks also tend to get into on-off relationships that start and end very quickly. As a result, Uranus is usually strongly connected to the 7th house of divorcees.
Here are some aspects to look out for:
Uranus in the 7th house: Uranus is the planet or freedom, unpredictability and instability, so its presence in the 7th house of partnership can indicate divorce
Uranus in hard aspect to the Ascendant: Uranus conjunct, square or opposite the Ascendant can indicate unstable relationships and quick beginnings and endings.
Uranus in hard aspect to the ruler of the 7th house
Uranus in hard aspect to a planet in the 7th house
Uranus in hard aspect to Venus
Examples:
Kim Kardashian’s 7th house ruler, Mercury, is conjunct her natal Uranus
Kanye West’s 7th house ruler, Saturn, is square his natal Uranus
Ariana Grande’s Uranus is exactly conjunct her Ascendant, and opposes her 7th house Mercury
Elizabeth Taylor has an exact Venus-Uranus conjunction
Brad Pitt has Uranus square Ascendant
Kris Jenner’s 7th house ruler, Neptune, is square Uranus
Angelina Jolie ‘s Ascendant and Venus are square Uranus
Ben Affleck’s Ascendant and Venus are square Uranus
Neptune
The planet Neptune represents dreams, illusions, and deception. When it is connected to the 7th house, an very romantic and spiritual romantic life is indicated. It indicates the native is very idealistic when it comes to love and romance, and tend to see their partners through rose-colored glasses. The native tends to fall in love with who they think or hope their partner is, rather than who they actually are. Neptunian individuals tend to see the best in others and ignore red flags, leading to much disappointment later on.
It is thus unsurprising strong Neptune contacts are commonly seen in the charts of divorcees.
Here are some aspects to look out for:
Neptune in the 7th house: Neptune is the planet of illusions, deception and dreams, so its presence in the 7th house of partnership can lead to separation
Neptune in hard aspect to the Ascendant: Neptune conjunct, square or opposite the Ascendant can indicate idealistic and unrealistic relationships
Neptune in hard aspect to the ruler of the 7th house
Neptune in hard aspect to a planet in the 7th house
Neptune in hard aspect to Venus
Examples:
Ariana Grande’s Neptune is exactly conjunct her Ascendant, opposite her 7th house Mercury
Nicole Kidman’s Venus is square Neptune
Liz Taylor’s 7th house ruler, Mercury, is opposite Neptune
Kim Kardashian’s Venus is square Neptune
Jennifer Garner’s 7th house ruler, Saturn, is opposite Neptune
Jupiter was strongly in someof the divorce charts I looked at, although not as strongly as Uranus and Neptune. Jupiter is the sign of abundance, so when it is associated with the 7th house, it can point to someone who will have several relationships throughout their life. This does not necessarily mean divorce, but it can indicate several marriages, especially if the individual has other divorce aspects in their chart.
Aspects to consider:
Jupiter in hard aspect to Venus
Jupiter in hard aspect to 7th house ruler
Jupiter in the 7th house
Pluto
Pluto was featured strongly in someof the divorce charts I looked at, as well. Pluto is the sign of death and rebirth, so it makes sense that some divorcees have this planet connected to their 7th house. In the worst case, it is often betrayal, abuse, and/or power struggles that breaks the couple apart.
Aspects to consider:

Synastry & Composite
Whether a couple gets divorced can be seen via the Composite chart.
What about Synastry? In my opinion, the Composite chart paints a more accurate picture of divorce potential in a chart. Why? Synastry shows how you affect each others, and how you feel each other, while the Composite is the chart of the relationship itself. In astrology, the relationship is a separate entity in itself, so we can determine the ultimate fate of a relationship more accurately.
As with natal chart aspects, Uranus and Neptune aspects are largely seen in the Composite Charts of divorced couples.
This is because Uranus represents instability and unpredictability, which can lead to abrupt endings and beginnings. The relationship is usually very exciting and refreshing, but also unreliable and frustrating. These types of relationships tend to begin out of the blue, and usually bring together two people who are not each other’s usual type. Feelings develop quickly, but unfortunately might dissipate very quickly, leading to an abrupt end.
Composite Uranus aspects to look out for:
Composite 7th house ruler in hard aspect to the Composite Uranus: This indicates a relationship that is erratic, unstable, unpredictable, yet exciting and unconventional. When Composite Uranus is conjunct, square or opposite the Composite 7th house ruler, the commitment between the partners can be shaky and unreliable.
Composite Uranus in the 7th house: The 7th house represents commitment and partnership, so having Composite Uranus in this house can indicate a lack of long-term commitment, especially if it makes unfavourable aspects to the 1st or 7th house ruler(s).
Composite Uranus in hard aspect to the Ascendant: This aspect points to disruptions, unpredictability, and instability in the relationship, and can result in abrupt beginnings and endings.
Examples:
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s Composite 7th house ruler, Mars, is square Uranus
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s Composite Uranus sits exactly on their Composite Ascendant, opposite their Composite Mercury on the Descendant.
Neptune tends to cloud our judgement to the point we ignore enormous red flags waving in our faces. Under Neptune’s influence, we are wearing rose-colored glasses and feel we have found our soulmate in our partner. This planet is sweet, loving, and fantasy-like, which is intoxicating and addictive to each partner.
Unfortunately, Neptune is strongly featured in the composite charts of couples where one, or both, of the partners eventually feels deceived by the other. Self-deception is perhaps an even stronger problem in these cases. In the end, these relationships can end in much disappointment and heartbreak, and a feeling the marriage was based on a lie. Now, Neptune does not guarantee a divorce, but it at least points to some deception (or self-deception) and disappointments along the way. In fact, it is possible the couple will separate and reunite many times due to the dreamy, fantasy-like connection they share.
Composite 7th house ruler in hard aspect to the Composite Neptune: This indicates a relationship that is idealistic and spiritual, but also illusory, deceptive, and confusing. When Composite Neptune is conjunct, square or opposite the Composite 7th house ruler, a lack of boundaries and honesty with each others can lead to Tdisappointment and separation later on
Composite Neptune in the 7th house: The 7th house represents commitment and partnership, so having Composite Neptune in this house can indicate loose boundaries and commitment issues, but it can also indicate a beautiful and idealistic relationship. How Neptune is aspected is very important, so assess the aspects to Composite Neptune in detail.
Composite Neptune in hard aspect to the Ascendant: This aspect can indicate confusion, lack of boundaries, and dishonesty in the relationship, which can lead to disappointment and separation.
Examples:
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton’s Composite 7th house ruler, Venus, is opposite Neptune
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s Composite 7th house ruler, Mars, is square Composite Neptune
Transits & Progressions
There are several transits and progressions that can point to a separation or divorce. If someone is going through a divorce, they will be able to see it in their transits and Progressions.
Transits
Uranus transits to relationship points indicate sudden and unexpected separations and breakups
Transiting Uranus in hard aspect the 7th house ruler
Transiting Uranus in hard aspect to the Ascendant (conjunct, square, opposite)
Transiting Uranus in the 7th house
Transiting Uranus in hard aspect to Venus
Neptune transits to relationship points indicate confusion, deception, and disillusionment, which can lead to separations and breakups
Transiting Neptune in hard aspect to the 7th house ruler
Transiting Neptune in hard aspect to the Ascendant (conjunct, square, opposite)
Transiting Neptune in the 7th house
Transiting Neptune in hard aspect to Venus
Pluto is the planet of death and transformation. When it touches a relationship point in your chart, your partnership transforms in some way, sometimes in the form of a separation or divorce.
Transiting Pluto in hard aspect to the 7th house
Transiting Pluto in hard aspect to the Ascendant (conjunct, square, opposite)
Transiting Pluto in the 7th house
Transiting Pluto in hard aspect to Venus
Saturn transits are like the “final nail on the coffin” transits that forces a final decision to split.
Transiting Saturn in hard aspect the 7th house ruler
Transiting Saturn in hard aspect to the Ascendant (conjunct, square, opposite)
Transiting Saturn in the 7th house
Transiting Saturn in hard aspect to Venus
Progressions
There are so many progressions that can point to relationship changes. Progressions usually mirror transits, so you will often see the same planets involved in both charts. For example, my progressed Venus was square my natal Saturn when I went through a break up. On the day we broke up, transiting Saturn was exactly square my natal Venus.
Examples of what to look for in the progressed-to-progressed chart (this is not an exhaustive list):
Hard aspects between the progressed Descendant and progressed Saturn Uranus, Pluto, or Neptune (for example, progressed Ascendant conjunct progressed Pluto)
Hard aspects from progressed 7th house ruler to progressed Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, or Neptune
Progressed Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, Neptune in hard aspect to planet in the progressed 7th house
I personally love looking at the progressed chart on its own, as it paints a picture of the present and gives us a lot of insight into upcoming events.
Natal to progressed aspects are also very important to consider, as they also offer great insights and information.
Examples of what to look for in the natal-to-progressed chart (this is not an exhaustive list):
Hard aspects between the natal Descendant and progressed Saturn Uranus, Pluto, or Neptune (for example, progressed Saturn conjunct natal Descendant)
Progressed Descendant in hard aspect to natal Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, Neptune
Hard aspects from natal 7th house ruler to progressed Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, or Neptune
Progressed Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, Neptune in hard aspect to planet in the natal 7th house

Do get a better idea of what will happen on April 8th, think back to last year’s solar eclipse in Aries on April 20th 2023 – what happened during that time? Themes related to that eclipse will be reviewed or replayed at this eclipse.
Jupiter and Uranus are conjunct in your 3rd house of siblings, communication, and learning on April 20th. During this period, you will feel very intellectually stimulated and curious about the world around you. This would be a great time to kick off a new writing project or educational courses. This is also a wonderful time to journal, for there is potential for ingenious insights and progressive ideas. This aspect can also bring a pleasant surprise regarding your siblings, cousins or neighbours.
Finally, there is a full moon in Scorpio on April 23rd, which falls in your 9th house of travel and beliefs. . The full moon is also square Pluto, which is transiting your 12th house. During this full moon, you may experience deep and powerful transformations related to your philosophies and worldview. At this time, you feel compelled to shed your old beliefs in favor of a new way of looking at the world. This full moon may indicate transformative experiences abroad and an intensified curiosity about other cultures.
I believe progressions are one of the best ways to predict life changes. Analyzing your natal-to-progressed and progressed-to-progressed aspects offer valuable insight into how your life will unfold over time.
But what about relationships?
In addition to natal synastry, you should also look into natal-to-progressed and progressed-to-progressed synastry to anticipate the future of your relationship. In fact, it is very common to see a strong progression to your partner’s chart, or vice-versa, when you begin a relationship with them. Keep reading to learn more about progressed synastry.
How do you calculate progressed synastry?
I do not have fancy software, so I have always compared charts manually.
First, I go to astro.com and take a screenshot of my and my partner’s natal and progressed charts. Then, I look at the degree of my natal planets (one by one) and compare them to the degrees of my partner’s progressed planets. For example, if my natal Venus is at 23 degrees Capricorn, I’ll check if my partner has any progressed planets at 23 degrees, then check what aspect it makes to my Venus.
I repeat the same process for my progressed chart to my partner’s natal chart, as well as my progressed chart to his progressed chart.

What does the research say?
According to research by Paul Westran, the onset of relationships are generally marked by the following synastry progressions (within 2 degrees):
Most common: Sun conjunct, trine, opposite Venus (progressed-progressed, progressed-natal, natal-progressed)
Mars conjunct, trine, opposite Venus (progressed-progressed, progressed-natal)
He also found that relationships wax and wane when these progressions go in or out of orb.
What else should we consider?
Other Venus progressions
In my experience, it is important to track how each person’s progressed Venus aspects the other person’s natal or progressed planets. Venus is the sign of love, after all. Its progressions to another person’s chart can give you clues as to how your relationship will progress.
I broke up with my ex boyfriend when my progressed Venus was about a degree away from a square to his natal Pluto. A year later, when my progressed Venus made an exact square to his natal Pluto, he reappeared in my life. For several months, he repeatedly called and texted me, begging to get back together. I held my ground, but was shocked at how obsessed he had become after a year of not talking.
The 5th and 7th house ruler
One person’s natal or progressed 5th or 7th house ruler in aspect to another person’s natal or progressed planets or angles can signal the beginning (or ending) of a relationship. The 5th house ruler represents romance, while the 7th house ruler represents the marriage partner, so it makes sense that as these rulers progress and make aspects to another’s progressed and natal planets, changes to the relationship may occur.
For example, I began a relationship with my progressed Mercury (my 7th house ruler) was conjunct my partner’s progressed Uranus. It was exactly conjunct, to the minute, when he asked me out. In Uranus fashion, this was a sudden and unexpected romantic development for me. When our relationship ended, my progressed Mercury was exactly conjunct his progressed Saturn, to the minute.
My sister and her husband have a very powerful progression in their chart: his progressed Jupiter, the ruler of his 1st house, is sextile her natal Saturn, the ruler of her 7th house. Because his progressed Jupiter is currently retrograde, it has been progressing very slowly over the years, so the Jupiter-Saturn connection they share has been in aspect since they met, and will continue for a long while.
Angles
Westran did not have the birth data for every chart he studied, and he mentioned that angles (particularly the Descendant) should be considered in progressed synastry analysis. Progressed planets to natal angles or progressed angles to progressed or natal planets are indicative of feelings of love and admiration for another.
For example, one my my ex boyfriend’s progressed Venus was exactly conjunct my natal Descendant when we met. We broke up, but my feelings for him did not dissapate until his Venus was out of orb (his progressed Venus was retrograde and in my 6th house when we broke up).
Vertex
In my personal experience, progressions to the Vertex in synastry is a very powerful aspect. If you are in love with someone, and their progressed planet is near your progressed or natal Vertex, it is a sign the relationship is fated and you will learn many lessons from each other.
For example, I began a 4-year long relationship with a man whose Venus was a degree away from my natal Vertex. We ended up breaking up when his Venus went out of orb of my Venus, and when my progressed Mars squared his natal Uranus.
Overall, it is important to look at all progressions, especially those involving Venus, the 5th house ruler, the 7th house ruler, the angles, and the Vertex. These progressions will give you clues as to how the relationship might ‘play out’ over time.
The composite chart is an extremely insightful tool in astrology compatibility analysis. However, it can be difficult to determine the marriage potential of a relationship when you do not know what to look for!
I’ve studied many composite charts of married couples and have noticed some patterns I’d like to share with you.
Keep in mind: One aspect or placement will not determine whether or not you will marry someone; the full Composite chart must be analyzed.
Having 3 or more planets conjunct in your composite chart is very powerful. The most powerful are conjunctions involving the composite Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury and Mars.
The stellium is even more powerful when it is aspected by outer planets. I favor easy aspects from Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto to the composite stellium, but I see hard aspects just as often in the composite charts of married couples.
With hard aspects, the couple will face more challenges in their relationship, but the relationship can still be long lasting and committed.
Do you need a stellium in a composite chart for marriage?No; I’d say stelliums are ideal, but I’ve seen plenty of composite charts of married couples with more ‘spaced out’ planets (though, they usually have at least a couple of conjunctions). Other placements and aspects can certainly indicate marriage, as described below.
The ruler of the seventh house is a very important planet to analyze in the composite chart. The seventh house represents formalized commitment, and gives clues in regards to the longevity of a relationship.
To determine your Composite 7th house ruler, check out the chart below:
If your Composite 1st house is in Aries, the 7th house ruler is Venus
If your Composite 1st house is in Taurus, the 7th house ruler is Pluto
If your Composite 1st house is in Gemini, the 7th house ruler is Jupiter
If your Composite 1st house is in Cancer, the 7th house ruler is Saturn
If your Composite 1st house is in Leo, the 7th house ruler is Uranus
If your Composite 1st house is in Virgo, the 7th house ruler is Neptune
If your Composite 1st house is in Libra, the 7th house ruler is Mars
If your Composite 1st house is in Scorpio, the 7th house ruler is Venus
If your Composite 1st house is in Sagittarius, the 7th house ruler is Mercury
If your Composite 1st house is in Capricorn, the 7th house ruler is the Moon
If your Composite 1st house is in Aquarius, the 7th house ruler is the Sun
If your Composite 1st house is in Pisces, the 7th house ruler is Mercury
A well-aspected seventh house ruler can indicate a relationship in which both partners are very committed to the relationship.
Here are some aspects I’ve commonly seen in the charts of married couples:
Ruler of composite 7th house conjunct, sextile or trine the ruler of the composite 1st house
Ruler of composite 7th house conjunct, sextile or trine composite Juno
Ruler of composite 7th house conjunct, sextile or trine composite planets (especially Sun, Moon, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn)
Ruler of composite 7th house conjunct the composite Angles (AC, DC, MC, IC)
Ruler of composite 7th house conjunct composite Vertex
Ruler of the composite 7th house conjunct composite North or south node
Ruler of the composite 7th house in Libra
Do you need a well-aspected 7th house ruler for marriage? In my opinion, YES! The 7th house ruler represents your love and commitment towards each other. The Composite 7th house ruler in square aspect to Saturn, for example, can indicate difficulty formalizing your commitment. A square from Composite Uranus to the Composite 7th house ruler can indicate an on-off, unpredictable relationship. A trine from Composite Saturn, on the other hand, can indicate longevity in the relationship, as well as formalized commitment (if the rest of the chart agrees).
The 5th house represents love, romance, dating, and creativity, so Composite planets in this house (especially Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter) indicates a fun and dynamic relationship. There may be a strong desire to have children together, as well. Be sure to analyze the ruler of the Composite 5th house to determine whether babies are in the cards for you and your partner!
The 7th house represents commitment and partnership, so Composite planets in this house (especially Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn) can indicate a powerful connection. In this relationship, the couple feels like a ‘team’, and enjoy being around each other.
5th house and 7th house placements alone do not guarantee marriage, but they are nice additions and can increase the attraction and feeling of unity between the couple.
Libra Planets
Some of the longest lasting relationships I’ve seen have Composite inner planets in the sign of Libra.
Libra is the sign of love and partnership, as well as fairness, cooperation and harmony. When a couple has their composite Inner plants in Libra, they are natural partners for each other and find it easy to commit to one another. Being together just feels ‘right’.
I personally know 3 couples with challenging Composite charts, but they come across as the perfect couples and have stayed together for many years. What they all have in common is Composite stelliums in Libra (and their 7th house rulers were well aspected).
Placements to look out for:
Composite Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and/or North Node in Libra
The Vertex is often referred to as the ‘point of Fate,’ so it is usually powerfully placed in the charts of married couples. It points to couples who are ‘meant to be’.
Common composite Vertex aspects in the charts of married couples:
Composite Vertex conjunct Descendant
Composite Vertex in the seventh house (especially if conjunct or opposite a Composite planet)
Composite Vertex conjunct the ruler of the Composite house 1, 4, 5, or 7
Composite Vertex conjunct or opposite North Node
Composite Vertex conjunct Composite Juno, especially if in the 7th house
Composite to natal chart comparison
Comparing each persons natal chart to the Composite chart is a valuable tool in relationship analysis. It is important that both partners have strong inter-aspects with the Composite Chart to ensure mutual commitment.
Here are a few examples of Composite-to-natal aspects you should look out for:
Composite Chart planets conjunct natal angles
Composite Chart angles conjunct natal planets
Composite Chart North Node conjunct or opposite natal planets and angles (and vice versa)
Composite Chart Vertex conjunct or opposite natal planets and angles (and vice versa)
Conjunctions and oppositions between natal planets and Composite planets
House overlays to 1st, 4th, 5th, 7th, and 8th houses (Composite planets in Natal houses, and Natal planets in Composite houses)
This is not an exhaustive list, and I will continue to add to it as I discover more important aspects and placements.
A question I’m often asked is: who feels what in a house overlay in synastry?
Meaning: if my Sun is in your 7th house, for example, who feels the energy most? Does the planet person feel the connection more, or is it the house person who feels it most? Keep reading to find out!
How does the house person feel?
Each of the 12 astrological houses represent different areas of your life, and how you approach these areas of our life. The way you approach each area of your life will take on a different tone, depending on the sign on the cusp.
For example, someone with Capricorn on the cusp of the 2nd house may have a responsible and mature attitude towards money; in other words, they spend money like a Capricorn. Someone with Sagittarius on the cusp of the 7th house may have more of a carefree attitude towards relationships; they approach relationships like a Sagittarius. Someone with Cancer on the cusp of the 3rd house may be defensive and emotional in their communication.
(Of course, your attitudes and approaches to the areas represented by these houses are influenced by planets falling in these houses, as well as house rulers.)
When someone’s planet falls in one of your houses, they bring the energy of that planet into the area of your life. It is as though you are going through a transit of your partner’s planet to your house when you are with them.
If someone’s planets fall into your:
1st house: the planet person impacts your personality, identity, and self-expression. 1st house overlays bring attraction, and you likely feel ‘seen’ by the planet person.
2nd house: the planet person influences your attitude towards money, self worth, and values. This overlay relates to security and possessiveness in the relationship.
3rd house: the planet person impacts intellectual interests, learning, and communication. 3rd house overlays generally suggest shared intellectual interests and mental connection.
4th house: the planet person influences your home, family and roots. This overlay can indicate deep emotional bonds, security, and nurturing.
5th house: the planet person influences your attitude towards fun, romance, dating, creativity and children. This overlay invokes feelings of joy and passion, as well as fun and creativity.
6th house: the planet person influences your health, work, and daily routines. This overlay suggests responsibility, support, and improvement within the partnership.
7th house: the planet person impacts partnership, sharing and cooperation. This overlay indicates a strong connection based on balance and collaboration.
8th house: the planet person impacts intimacy, transformation, and shared resources. 8th house overlays point to deep emotional and transformational bonds, intimacy, as well as power struggles.
9th house: the planet person impacts your beliefs, philosophy, and higher education. This overlay points to a sense of adventure and exploration.
10th house: the planet person impacts career, public image, and ambition. This overlay points to achieving success and public recognition together.
11th house: the planet person influences your friends, groups/clubs, and long-term goals. This overlay points to shared interests, groups and community.
12th house: the planet person influences your realm of dreams, spirituality and isolation. This overlay indicates a deep emotional and spiritual connection.
Here are a few examples:
If your Venus is in my 4th house, you bring beauty and peace (Venus) to my home and family life (4th house). You might help me redecorate my home to make my space more visually appealing. You might help me repair broken relationships with family members. I find myself wanting to spend more time at home because of the love you bring into this area of my life. The Venus person is comfortable being at home with you.
If your Mars is in my 8th house, you bring your energy and drive (Mars) to my realm of sex, intimacy and death (8th house). You bring out an intense side of me, and I may have strong feelings of attraction (or even repulsion) towards you. I can feel the heaviness of our interactions and cannot help but feel very curious about you. I may even feel a strong sexual attraction to you, and may feel out of control when we are together.
If your Saturn is in my 1st house, you bring structure (Saturn) to the way I present myself outwardly (1st house). I may feel repressed or self-conscious in your presence. Around you, I present myself in a more mature, austere and responsible manner. In some ways, I might feel that I cannot be fully ‘myself’ around you, for I fear your disapproval.
You might assume the house person is the one who feels the energy most of all. It makes sense, given that the house person’s house is being illuminated by the planet person’s energy, but I do not believe this is entirely true.
How does the planet person feel?
The energy of the planet will ‘play out’ in your partner’s house, either consciously or subconsciously. The planet person feels drawn to the qualities represented by their partner’s house. This is because their planet feels ‘at home’ in this part of your life.
Each planet expresses a different energy, as described below:
The Sun illuminates the house is touches in another person’s chart. The Sun person feels they can ‘be themselves’ with the house person in the area represented by that house.
The Moon represents emotions, family and home. It also points to where the couple may experience the most ups and downs in their relationship. The Moon person generally brings emotional support and nurturing to the house person in the area the house represents.
Mercury represents communication, ideas, and short-term travel. The Mercury person will like to talk to the house person about subjects connected to that house
Venus represents partnership, harmony, beauty and style. The Venus person expresses love, beauty and cooperation in the house it occupies in synastry
Mars represents action, drive, and sexual energy. The Mars person brings energy, drive and conflict to the house it occupies in synastry
Jupiter represents luck, abundance, and faith. The Jupiter person brings positivity and gifts to the house it occupies in synastry
Saturn represents responsibility, stability, and maturity. The Saturn person brings a somber, ‘grown-up’, critical energy to the house it occupies in synastry
Uranus represents revolution, rebellion and instability. The Uranus person brings an unpredictable, exciting energy to the house it occupies in synastry
Neptune represents dreams, spirituality and illusions. The Neptune person brings a dreamy, impractical, and perhaps confusing energy to the house it occupies in synastry
Pluto represents transformation, death and rebirth. The Pluto person brings intensity, control and power struggles to the house it represents in synastry
For example, if my Sun falls in your 2nd house, your attitudes towards finances(2nd house) jives with my core personality (Sun). I show my personality most brilliantly when we are talking about money or finances, and may even take an active interest in how you manage your money. I feel like I can ‘be myself’ with you when we are discussing financial matters.
If my Moon falls in your 7th house, your approach to partnership and relationships is in line with my emotional nature. In this relationship, I want to share my feelings with you. I feel safe to share my feelings about my family and past with you. I also highly admire the way you relate to others and your charm.
If my Venus is in your 4th house, I express my love for you by creating a beautiful and loving home for you. I want to help you create harmony in your home and family life. This is the area I feel most compelled to show my love to you. I admire the way you approach home and family life, and likely get along with your family. You provide me a safe and nurturing space to express my love and affection.
If my Saturn is in your 1st house, I find the way you express and present yourself (1st house) triggers my insecurities and fears. Regardless, I feel a strong bond and responsibility towards you.
How is the planet aspected in natal and synastry?
If the planet person’s planet is negatively aspected in their own natal chart or in synastry, these issues will ‘play out’ in the house it overlays in another person’s chart. This is why seemingly ‘good’ house overlays can play out negatively between the couple.
For example, my ex had his Moon is my 7th house. He was very sensitive to my feelings and moods, and liked sharing his feelings with me. However, his natal Moon is opposite his Saturn and Uranus, so my relationship with him was full of insecurity and unpredictability, which mostly came from his side.
How the planet is aspected in synastry is also very important. If your Venus is in my 5th house, you bring fun and pleasure into my life. However, if my Saturn is square your Venus, you might see me as a wet blanket; you want to have fun with me, but you may find me boring or stuffy.
In House Synastry, who feels it more?
Both people feel the impact of a house overlay, but in different ways. The house person feels the effects of the planet person illuminating the area of their life. The planet person, however, feels the effects they bring out of the house person. For example, if your Mercury is in my 8th house, you will like to talk to me about deep matters. In turn, when I want to talk about deep matters, I go to you.
The impact also largely depends on how the planet is aspected in synastry, so make sure to assess aspects thoroughly.
For this reason, when it comes to relationships and marriage, having 4th, 5th and 7th house overlays are known for being very positive and mutually beneficial. If your Venus is in my 7th house, your planet of love and affection is ‘at home’ in my house of partnerships and marriage. You identify with the way I relate to others and feel comfortable in a partnership with me. As the house person, I feel attracted to, and enjoy spending time with you.
