A composite chart can make you more aware of potential problems in your relationship, so you can work together to overcome them.

If you don’t know your time of birth, it’s totally fine to leave it out. The calculator will still generate a useful composite chart.

A synastry chart won’t show you the dynamics or shared values of the relationship, since the information it gives just deals with the individuals. You might have also heard of a bi-wheel compatibility chart. To make this chart, you print off each person’s birth chart and stack them on top of each other to look for similarities. It won’t combine the energies of the chart as a composite chart does, but it can give you an idea of how you two work together.
