Description
Discover how to compare the charts of two individuals using the composite technique, as detailed by renowned astrologer Robert Hand!
Robert Hand has written an important reference book that is much needed in the astrological community. Until the appearance of Planets in Composite no astrologer had written a definitive work about human relationships. Why? Perhaps because the customary technique, called synastry, was just too complicated and unreliable.
Instead, Planets in Composite details Robert Hand's development of the composite technique, which combines two individual charts into a composite third chart-- a chart of the relationship itself. This gives the astrologer a single chart to interpret, rather than two as in the synastry method.
Planets in Composite contains an explanation of the composite technique, chapters on casting and reading the horoscope, five case studies illustrating the use and validity of composite charts, plus twelve chapters of delineations. These include delineations for all of the planets in each house and every major aspect (conjunction, sextile, square, trine and opposition), comprising 374 total interpretations, all thumb-indexed for easy reference. 41 delineations of the Moon's nodes are also included.
Planets in Composite was the first major textbook to use the composite technique, and is the most complete astrology book ever written about human relationships.
