Question
Hi LeLonni,

I wondered whether the composite or natal chart is the most valuable in understanding synastry? My DOB: 23 Nov 1965 11.48am Bolton UK and I want to make the comparisons with 3 Sept 1954 5.30PM Bolton, UK and 16 July 1966 1.20AM Bolton, UK.  I am also curious about the composite sun placement in the 8th house with the first person and the seventh house with the second person.

In addition, I have a child with unaspected Venus in Libra 5th House born 12 Aug 1994 5.28AM, Bolton UK .  Can you give any general advice on this placement bearing in mind I have a well aspected Venus as his mother?

Many thanks for any help.

Lesley

Answer
I personally use natal charts, with a composite chart as a confirmation.  To me the energy interaction between individuals is best shown by the natal chart, but that does not mean combining charts doesn't work.  The eighth house is all about creating change, often through crisis, how that works will be shown by the aspects involved, as well as how the personal energy plays out.
Unaspected planets are planets that have a difficulty expressing themselves.  your planets will not in general help or hinder in regards to their positive or difficult energy, what does help is a planet of yours affecting his natal chart by aspect.  Unaspected planets can get help as they progress through the chart.  Right now his Venus is at 21 Libra so its making several contacts and has for the past few years, encourage him to tap into that energy.
