Synastry Chart Overlays...In a synastry chart overlay, one person’s natal birth chart is literally layered on top of another person’s with one person's chart going on the outside and the other’s on the inside. The resulting combined chart shows how the person on the outside affects the person on the inside. The charts are superimposed to line up the signs. Pisces goes on top of Pisces, Aries on top of Aries, etc. This is a great visual tool to see what each person gives to the other as far as signs, elements, and planets as well as which houses are affected. |
Synastry chart overlays are a fascinating way to visualize how two people affect one another.

We Affect Each Other...
The primary force at work in synastry chart overlays is the influence of the outer person on the inner person. Although this is the primary force at work, the effect of one chart on another is not a one-way street. The outer person feels how they affect the inner person. There is a perpetual need for balance in every person. Every person is born with their own natal chart which never changes. The planets are in constant motion and the natal chart is constantly being triggered by these planets transiting their natal chart. People come into our lives and trigger and pull on aspects of our natal chart, but the chart is fixed. It is never going to change. As people come into our lives, we feel the effects they have on us and on our chart. The triggering of certain houses, and the influence of other people’s signs on our chart can either feel good, bad, or indifferent. It will feel good if these planets and signs help balance our natal chart by filling in gaps or weak spots. We can feel how another person can strengthen or weaken us by what they contribute to our chart.

Angelina's Mars, Jupiter and moon fall into Brad's fourth house.
These placements make family life paramount. Mars gives an intensity to the fourth house, making family a goal. The moon here creates a warm caring atmosphere and Jupiter makes the fourth house expansive with desires for large homes filled with people, activity, and openness. Brad's natal Jupiter is also in his fourth house. Two Jupiters in the fourth house gives a sense of grandness to home life. There is a strong desire to have a large family, a large home, and to keep things light and fun.
Angelina's sun and Mercury fall into Brad's seventh house.
These are excellent placements. The sun in seventh house makes a relationship exciting and makes the relationship itself invigorating. Mercury in the seventh house of a synastry chart opens a couple to discussing relationship issues and gives them an ability to detach emotionally from the relationship in order to discuss things without letting emotions cloud the picture.
Angelina's Saturn and Venus fall into Brad's eighth house.
Saturn here makes intimacy a serious subject. Issues of give and take in the relationship are taken seriously. Saturn makes a person likely to sacrifice willingly for another person and to also expect their partner to sacrifice willingly for them. Venus here is a nice balance to Saturn as Venus adds a soft touch to Saturn's serious nature. This makes the give and take of the eighth house more light and natural, turning it into a pleasurable experience rather than one of obligation as Saturn has a tendency to do. |
