...Like i said, i'm new with these kind of charts.
In my opinion ...reading/understanding synastry charts should only be attempted by those who are experienced in reading/understanding individual natal charts, MrsW.
____________________​

Assuming that is the case ...you will already be aware of the strengths, weaknesses and challenges revealed by the astrological indicators in the individual charts of both yourself (?) and Brandon ...(which is the first step towards understanding the synastry between the two of you)...
____________________​

Step 2 is to think of his planets as being added to your natal chart ...and your planets as being added to his...

For example ...your Mercury in Virgo/11th is enhanced by his 9th house Virgo Sun+Mercury+Venus+Mars stellium in your 11th ...And his stellium in Virgo/9th is enhanced by your 11th house Virgo Mercury ...[Which influences the thinking of both of you ...for better or worse, richer or poorer and in sickness or in health until death (of the relationship) does you part.
____________________​

Step 3 is to ascertain the aspects made by the planets (and points) in each chart to those in the other ...using orbs that are half of those you use for analysing natal charts ...(because twice as many planets are involved) ...​

For example ...his Moon in Virgo/10th is conjunct your Sun in Virgo/11th ...(but you need to know the exact degree placements of the planets in each chart, in order to correctly identify all the "within-orb" inter-chart aspects)...​
____________________​

Step 4 is to interpret each of the inter-chart aspects identified at step 3 ...bearing in mind that (for example) the influence of your 11th house Virgo Sun on his 10th house Virgo Moon will differ from the influence of his 10th house Virgo Moon on your 11th house Virgo Sun...​
____________________​

Step 5 is to "bring everything together"/synthesise the information gathered in Steps 1-4 ...in the form of a coherent report/comment on the relationship of yoursef and Brandon.​
____________________​

And the final step is generally determined according to who has done the work in steps 1-5 (and/or the recipients awareness of the amount/"value" of the work involved) :-​

1. If it's a professional astrologer who has charged a fee that truly reflects the amount of work involved, the recipient will read the report; file it away carefully and refer to it frequently (as a means of improving the relationship) ...because it's value is reflected in the (necessarily) high fee charged to produce it.​

2. If it's the couple themselves ...the report/comment will be read/understood; filed away carefully and referred to frequently (to improve the relationship) ...because it's value is reflected in the work done by the couple themselves.​

3. If it's a third-party astrologer who charges no fee ...the report/comment will be read; regarded as "interesting" and filed in the bin ...because it has no measurable value to the recipient.​

4. If it's a third-party AW astrology student who charges no fee ...the comment(s) might be read, acknowledged or ignored ...and disappear completely if the OP asks for the thread to be deleted by Moderators.​

Wondering if there is now any point in responding to AW threads.​

To start with it's best to look at the individual needs of each persons chart and how they relate and what they are looking for. Astro.com does have an option composite + natal midpoint method (2) which I find helpful. If you choose to post the synastry bi wheel from astro could you please select the 2nd synastry option as it will put the houses and degrees onto the wheel which is far better for us to evaluate matters....
If you post the synastry chart and realise it doesn’t show the degrees (which we need to look at) you can find the degrees and other information in a separate PDF on the synastry page of astro.com. Look for the link "View the additional tables (PDF)" and click on it to see the additional information. Reading a synastry chart is mainly about reading the aspects between the planets in the two charts. So once you find the PDF, scroll down to the bottom of the page and look in the synastry grid that is there. Unfortunately, you can only see/read these and not save/upload. That’s why I like to see both natal’s and composite. This grid (in my opinion) has too many minor aspects and the orbs are quite wide. I like to use + - max 3’

When looking at a woman’s chart the type of man she would look for is her sun sign and mars traits, plus 7th house planets and house cusp ruler and where that ruler was deposited.
When looking at a mans chart for the type of woman he would look for is his venus and moon sign and then 7th house planets and house cusp ruler and where that ruler was deposited.

Although synastry is a valuable tool with astrology it cannot 'make things happen' even if you have the best synastry in the world unfortunately..

Unfortunately, there is no set formula or signature for marriage or childbirth, although others may disagree, apparently horary and vedic seem confident in this area. There are indicators and potential as there would be with natal, solar return chart but guarantees -- (post 2 & 3 below)

Your chart is a blueprint of your personality, facets and penchants and the whole chart is 'potential' for development. There is nothing guaranteed or fatalistic in charts, I do believe we still do have free will. I also believe we chose our parents and childhood circumstances best suited to learning those Lessons in the best way we can.

I think it's worth bearing in mind that the natal chart, like solar returns is all about 'potential' but as we all know we don't always fulfil that potential do we.

It's like someone saying you can predict death, but with modern medicine and sciences the way they are and the potential to 'die' three times in a life, doesn't mean to say you will does it

I think lots of people have unrealistic expectations about what astrology can and can't do. astrology is an 'art, science and craft' and not clairvoyance either. If there were a formula or signature, don't you think we would ALL be using it?


Predicting marriage and/or having children can be done, but it is not easy, time consuming and intricate. There are lots of things to take into consideration like, secondary progressions, what inter-aspects one chart makes to another, Solar arcs, Solar returns, Transits etc

There is a 'plethora' of information on AW, espec in the 'stickys' at the top of every forum, our Education forum and Recommendations forum to. Plus we have a good search feature,[but not foolproof obviously, so try here first] bit like google using keywords – initially select advanced and try just selecting 'titles' rather than posts or you'll get too many threads. If this doesn’t get results then try google
