Print article - Romance and Synastry Astrology – Composite Mars in the Houses

Composite charts are a great synastry tool used by astrologers. They are calculated by taking the mid-way point between each planet and angle in the two people’s natal charts to build a whole new one. They can tell a lot about the relationship and feelings two people will experience together when they meet.

There has been a lot of talk about composite charts in astrological community because they are widely accepted to be such an accurate synastry technique for couples, friends and family members (or anyone else you choose to have an interpersonal relationship with). Many think that the use of midpoints within the chart might be a great reason for their accuracy as midpoints do tend to have a way of showing up in the lives of the native or natives in a physical, material or practical sense.

Mars in the composite chart is all about the ego drive of the two people combined and how well they are likely to get on with each other without bumping into conflict. It will also show the energy levels they have when around one another and how willing they are to succeed together on a day-to-day basis.

What does Mars mean through the houses of the composite chart?

1st House

There’s lots of energy in this relationship so it's important you spend time being active together so you can both express yourselves and immerse yourselves fully into the union. Ego drives are likely to be healthy but there could be some fighting and conflict unless they are expressed in a healthy manner.

2nd House

The 2nd house is the house of resources so your egos within the relationship might be centred around being able to bring material things or money into the relationship. You might both be a little risky where personal finances are concerned so it's important to try to keep risks low while respecting the value in the things you share.

3rd House

You may both be more talkative within this relationship then otherwise and you love to learn together before talking about everything you have learnt. This means there might also be some disagreements but try not to mix them with other 3rd house things such as neighbours and close family members.

4th House

Mars is strengthened in the 4th house as it’s an angular house so this can either work smoothly are against a couple altogether. I would look too to aspects with other planets and the sign Mars is in to see more. You may desire to start a family together or buy a house quickly into the relationship.

5th House

The 5th house is a really good place for Mars to be and the relationship can be a lot of fun. Mars will also need to be fully expressed so you’ll need to give each other space and perhaps the encouragement to be creative in doing this. This is also a great placement for being artistically creative together.

6th House

With Mars here there’s often a strong sense of duty towards things that need to be done and tasks that need to be fulfilled. This is an amazing position for business relationships! It can work for romance but there usually needs to be a common goal towards a practical achievement without dampening the fun.

7th House

Ego drives are strong here. This house of harmony and open enemies means the connection could go either way in that you could adore each other and get on like a house on fire or you could really dislike each other. There could even be a love-hate relationship. You will always know where you stand with each other.

8th House

There may be conflicts arising from the expressions of egos but this should force you to want to make changes and grow from the situation. This is why it's a good placement for long-term relationships, especially when the two are mature enough to reflect and grow. There could be some conflicts around joint finances

9th House

Lots of energy is spent on things that are meaningful to you both regarding your beliefs and philosophies, which is why it's often important that you share the same ones. If you don't you may not see eye to eye and my instead may use your energy trying to convince one another of your own beliefs.

10th House

Following your career path and goals will be very important to you both so you must allow each other the freedom to fully express yourselves in this area. If you get along well you could both progress quite far in the public sphere as Mars here is healthily expressed and strong. Great for business relationship!

11th House

You enjoy spending time I'm in group settings and with friends when you are together. You are likely quite comfortable around others and are generally more open-minded when you are together. This is a great position for sharing and pursuing hopes and dreams, especially when Mars is in harmony.

12th House

Your sense of personal power may be somewhat compromised in this relationship and there could be disagreements based on misunderstandings about each others intentions. Hence, it’s always a good idea to be open and straightforward about your intentions from the get go.
