| Composite Charts, Davison and Coalescent charts |
| The Composite chart represents the relationship
between two individuals based on their combined (composite) midpoints. The Composite chart
is composed of the combined near midpoints for each planet in the two charts. In other
words, the zodiac position for the planet Mars in each chart is found and the midpoint
between them determined. This midpoint is then entered into the composite chart as the
position for Mars. This procedure is followed for all planets. The resulting chart is the
composite chart for the two individuals. Win*Star can calculate two types of Composite chart... |

| ...the Midpoint-Cusp version | ...and the Derived-Cusp version: | ||
| In the first, the midpoint cusps from both natal
charts are used to determine the planetary positions. In the derived version, the house
positions are derived using the midpoint MC and the latitude of the chosen location. This
is like looking up the MC (10th house cusp) in a Table of Houses and copying the rest of
the cusps for the birth latitude. If you choose the Derived cusps, Win*Star asks for the
location. You can find its latitude by clicking on the "Atlas" button. The
latitude of the current city of residence is normally used in the calculation of the
composite chart. In both charts the planets' sign positions remain exactly the same, but
you can see that the Ascendant has changed almost nine degrees. These same charts can be displayed in a two-wheel chart (on one form) for easy comparison of the two different methods.
