Planets in Composite: Analyzing Human Relationships
Select Format
Select Condition 
Book Overview
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.

Great Book for the Layperson
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I found this book to be a fantastic resource for someone such as myself who does not know the technical side of astrological aspects, or how to read the symbols in an astrological chart. When I read: "Composite Moon Trine Composite Jupiter" I didn't have a clue as to what that meant, UNTIL I was able to read what this configuration is all about in the easy-to-understand explanations given in this wonderful book. As astrological aspects in composite charts are important when entering into any type of relationship, be it romantic, business, family, etc., this book is a great help to see how two people will interact with each other on many levels. I can tell you that the composite chart interpretations I was given in this book were all astoundingly accurate. This is a great tribute to the exhaustive knowledge, research, and care that went into this book. Highly recommended!

Planets in Composite

With the exception of Marc Robertson, Robert Hand is the finest Astrologer I've had the privilege to read so far. He uses common sense compiled with the knowledge of Eastern/Western beliefs. His mid-point work and analysis is not only down to earth but very accurate. He includes variables, too, that are exciting to research on your own. His work is something you don't want to put down because you are bored or not getting any satisfaction. When people ask how I understand so much, I tell them. I've been an Astrologer for over 30 years so I know what I'm talking about.
The best on composite charts!

This book will definitely let you know if your spouse or lover is the one for you. Before I got married I bought this book to analyze me and my husband's composite chart. Every explanation that Mr. Hand gave for our composite aspects and planetary and house positions were absolutely correct. I really wanted to know if my husband and I were going to be together for a long time. After reading the book, I'm very secure about my marriage and I am confident that my husband and I will be together for a long time. This book will show you the good and the bad parts about a relationship. I recommend it to anyone who is considering marriage.
