What Is Synastry?

Synastry is the branch of astrology that examines how two people's birth charts interact. When you overlay one person's chart on top of another's, the planets from one chart form aspects to the planets in the other — and these inter-chart aspects reveal the nature of the relationship: its strengths, its challenges, its karmic purpose, and its potential.

A synastry reading looks at which planets from Person A's chart aspect which planets from Person B's chart, and what those connections mean. A Venus-Mars conjunction between two charts, for example, indicates powerful romantic and physical attraction. A Saturn-Sun square might indicate one person feeling restricted or judged by the other.

The composite chart is a different but complementary technique: instead of overlaying two charts, you calculate the midpoints between each pair of planets to create a single chart that represents the relationship itself as an entity. The composite chart shows the relationship's purpose, strengths, and challenges as a whole.

Sun conjunct Sun

powerful

You share the same core identity and life purpose. There is an immediate sense of recognition — like looking in a mirror. This can be deeply validating or intensely competitive.

Friction, competition, and potential conflict. You may clash over how to take action or what to pursue. This aspect requires conscious effort to channel the energy constructively rather than combatively.
