Horoscope for Two

There are a number of astrological methods which enable us to view a partnership more effectively. The oldest method is that of horoscope comparison, called synastry. Here, two birth horoscopes are investigated and interpreted on the basis of shared aspects. Composite and Combined Horoscopes, on the other hand, are relatively new.

Robert Hand is considered to be one of the pioneers of composite horoscope research. His comprehensive interpretative work, Planets in Composite, appeared in 1975. We owe the Combined Horoscope to the work of the Viennese astrologer Philip Schiffmann, and independently of him, the Englishman Ronald Davison - the "Horoscope for Two" is based on their research. In the English speaking world the Combined Horoscope is often called the 'Davison Relationship Chart'. Whereas the composite horoscope does not reflect an actual astronomical constellation, the Combined Horoscope unites the birth horoscopes of the partners in space and time, in a new and real constellation. That point in time is determined which lies exactly between the birth dates of the persons involved, while the geographical longitude and latitude are established in the same way.
