Lesson Overview: Learning To Compare & Contrast

In the last three lessons, we learned to look at individual charts to deepen our self-understanding. We used the3-Part Puzzle technique, linking custom keyphrases, to put together a rough portrait of ourselves (and probably ourfriends, relatives, coworkers and romantic interests!).

In Lessons 2 and 3, we isolated specic planets and houses to examine prosperity and love. The Prosperity Planets& Houses revealed clues to career path and life purpose. The Love Planets & Houses showed what we need from arelationship or prospective partner.

In this lesson, we take our learning a step further and study the interplay between TWO charts. After all, we dontlive in a bubble. We need to coexist with all types of peoplenot always an easy task! This is where astrologycomes in especially handy. This week, learn the tricks to getting along with anyone...even that person.

Heres what well learn in Lesson 4:

1. The 2 Types of Relationship ChartsThere are two ways of studying the interplay of two charts. The combined (composite) method or thecomparison (synastry) method. In this lesson, well look at both types of charts.

2. The Distance and Aspects (Angles) Between The Planets Are your Love Planets an easy or a challenging distance from your partners? Do you and that difcult client haveclashing Mars or Mercury signs? In The Secret of Distance, we reveal a system for understanding how to nd your

sweet spot and where you might rub each other the wrong way. By understanding this, you can direct your energytoward the benecial parts of your relationship, and avoid stepping in the same pitfalls or pushing each others but-tons.

2 Types of Relationship Charts: Combine or Compare?

Here are the 2 types of relationship charts well study in Lesson 4:

1. Combined Method (Composite) Where 2 Become 1

In any pairing, we believe there are three entities involved: you, the other person, and the relationship itself. Whetherits a romantic coupling, a friendship, joint business venture, or a creative collaboration, when two people unite, therelationship takes on a life and personality of its own.

A composite chart is a special chart thats created by nding the exact midpoint between each planet in your chart andeach planet in another persons chart. In other words, it represents the middle ground between the two of you. Where

do your signs intersect, or meet in the middle?

You could think of the composite chart as a care and feeding manual for your relationship. Just like your individualcharts, your relationship has a sun sign, moon sign, North and South node. What unique needs must be tended to inorder to keep your union thriving? The composite-midpoint chart can reveal this!

We use the incredible (and for the time being free) tools of astro.com for running composite-midpoint charts. We alsorecommend the incredible SolarFire software from alabe.com.

Step-by-step instructions for how to run a composite chart using astro.com are included in the Appendix atthe end of this lesson.

2. Comparison Method (Synastry) Side-by-Side Snapshot

The comparison method is a side-by-side comparison of two charts. These are always called synastry charts. Theres somuch to study here that we cant possibly cover it all in this class. But well touch on some of the essential comparisonsin the second half of the lesson. The distance between your planets and another persons can tell you so much abouthow youll relate. For example, if you have an Aries moon and your partners moon is in Gemini, your moon signsform a sextile angle. Sounds pretty juicy already, doesnt it? Well explain what the heck that means and a lot more intodays lesson.

PART 1. Combined/Composite Charts When we combine two charts, what were really doing is averaging the planets between the two of them. You inputboth peoples data (we use Astro.com for thisstep-by-step instructions included in this lesson). Then, the handy

software calculates the midpoint between all of your planets, spitting out a single composite (or combined) chart thatcaptures the essence of this relationship. Its like your charts mated and had a baby...or something like that!

The composite method creates a third chart one thats a blend between the two charts being studied. Many peoplebelieve that relationships are like a third person (theres you, me and the relationship, as the saying goes). The com-posite chart shows the spiritual potentialand the challengesof joining forces with another person.

The results can often be surprising! For example, lets say one persons Sun is in Aquarius and the others Sun is in Sagit-tarius. These are both free-spirited, easygoing signs on their own. However, if we do a composite chart, theres a goodchance they might average out to have a composite Sun in Capricorn, which is the sign right in between Sagittarius and

Aquarius on the zodiac wheel. So while you might be party animals on your own, together you adopt the hardworking,goal-oriented traits of a Capricorn. Who knew the esta would zzle out so fast?

(Note: the averaging takes into account the zodiac sign degrees of each planet. So if one persons Sun is at a very late orearly degree of a zodiac sign, that will denitely impact the composite charts results.)

The Brangelina Chart:Their Sun Q is in compassionate, charitable Pisces c in the 6th house of service

Their Moon W is in dreamy, romantic Pisces c in the 5th house love

Their Venus R is in marriage-minded Libra j in the daring, adventurous 1st house

Their North Node { is in traditional, giving Virgo h in the benevolent 12th house

Their South Node } is in soulful-fantasy-driven Pisces c , which is also the sign of clandestine affairs.

No wonder their relationship got off to such a tabloid-worthy startand no wonder they couldnt keep theirhands off of each other on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

PART 2. Comparison/Synastry ChartsIn comparison charts, we compare the planets in your chart and the other persons chart. We lay the charts side-by-side and analyze where, for example, the moon in your chart is versus the moon in someone elses chart.

The relationship between these two planets in question can determine your interpersonal dynamics. Will you getalong smoothly or need to compromise? Below, our recommended planets to observe for various relationships:

Planets for LOVE Comparison:My Moon W Your Moon W What do we both need to feel safe?My Venus R Your Venus R What attracts us/turns us on?My Mars T Your Mars T Are we sexually compatible?My North Node { Your North Node { What are our life lessons?My South Node } Your South Node } What is our karma?

Planets for WORK/CAREER Comparison:My Sun Q Your Sun Q What is our basic purpose/essence?My Mercury E Your Mercury E Do we think the same or differently?

How do we communicate?My Mars T Your Mars T How our drives work together

My Jupiter Y Your Jupiter Y Will we be lucky or risk-takers together? Where can we grow together?

My Saturn U Your Saturn U Where do we stie or support each other? Where are we challenged? What rules are needed?My Pluto P Your Pluto P What kind of power struggles/dynamics do we have?My North Node { Your North Node { What are our learning curves?My South Node } Your South Node } What are our natural strengths & abilities?

1 Sign ApartSEMISEXTILE(30 angle)

FrictionDifferences

Two planets that are a sign apart have nothing incommon. However, like next-door neighbors withtotally different styles of decorating, they can learnfrom each otheras long as they dont invadeeach others turf. Inconjunct planets wont coex-ist easily, but they can act as ambassadors andteachers for each other.

This friendly, easygoing aspect doesnt movemountains, but it adds a nice touch. Two planetsthat are sextile are like best friends who let eachother shine, and work together easily.

TensionPower StrugglesCompromise

In this aspect, two planets form a harsh 90-degreeangle. The energy is like a tug o war, lled withdynamic tension, competition and the ultimateneed for compromise. Square planets are likefrenemies, on-and-off friends who can also beexciting rivalsand dueling divas!

Lucky triangle! The owy trine angle brings effort-

less ease between two planets. A trine generallyoccurs between two planets of the same element(re, earth, air or water). Trines show harmony,but also where we can get a little lazy whenthings come too easily to us.

Just like the semisextile (1 sign apart), two quin-cunx planets have nothing in common. Theres aneed to bring together two vastly different ener-gies that can have little in common. Each willneed to adjust or adapt to the others unfamiliar,even alien, style of doing things.

Opposites attractand repel! Two planets inopposite signs can make a great team. However,they will need to balance their strengths to avoidpolarizing each other.

Orbs: Measuring Degrees Between The Planets The distance (measured in degrees) between two planets is called an ORB. The smaller the degree between twoplanets, the closer together they areand the more likely they are to blend their energy.

Examplelets compare the Moon signs between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: Brad Pitt has Moon W at 22 degrees Capricorn z Angelina Jolie has Moon W at 13 degrees Aries a

To calculate the orb between their moons, we subtract the degrees of one moon from another. 22 degrees (Brad) -13 degrees (Angelina) = 9 degrees.

If we look at our secret of distance guide, their Moon signs are 3 signs apart. This is also known as a SQUARE, theangle that represents friction, conict and dynamic tension.

Well, they did fall in love while lming a movie where they played husband-wife assassins trying to kill each other(hello, square!). However, the 9-degree orb between their moons lessens the intensity of the square in their real rela-tionship. They may still feel the effects of the square, but perhaps more in a sexy, playful way than a tense one.

When Is An Orb An Aspect? When two planets are within an orb of 0 to 5 degrees (stricter astrologers only an orb of 0 to 3 degrees), they are saidto ofcially form an aspect. In other words, theyre close enough together to interact in a meaningful way. The closerthe planets are in their orb, the more powerfully they work together (or against each other!). Its like living or workingin close quarters with another personor being neighbors versus living in different countries Two people who share anofce or home have to deal with each others personalitieseither irritating each other, or blending their strengths.

Wide Versus Tight Orbs: Astro-jargon: An orb of greater than 5 degrees is often called a wide orb. An orb of 0-1 degrees can be called a tight orb.

In the example below, Brad and Angelinas moons are 9 degrees apart, a relatively wide orb.

CASE STUDY: BrangelinaBrad Pitt has moon at 22degrees, Angelinas is 13

degrees Aries. Though theyare a SQUARE in distance,the wide orb of 9 degreeslessens any stressful impactthat a square can present.
