The concept underlying the composite horoscope is that of the relationship as a third factor. It is viewed as an independent, self-contained entity. From the horoscopes of the partners, a distinct relationship horoscope is calculated. The composite is like a child that carries the genetic imprints of both parents but has combined them in a completely new way and exists on its own. Two people who are connected create a certain atmosphere. Since the composite contains all the factors of a natal chart, we must approach its interpretation in a more or less similar manner. For example, there is a specific form of communication or a particular type of defense mechanisms. There are special desires and hopes, but also a fundamental drive for survival. All of this can be traced back to the essence of a relationship.
