Book Description
What's a composite chart?  It's a chart of the relationship itself, derived from the charts of the couple. It shows what the relationship needs in order to grow, learn and thrive, just as an individual person's chart shows what that person needs.

Our own Seven Paws Press is publishing volume II of the new, revised expanded edition of this synastry  classic, with lots of evolutionary and "cookbook" material. "Cookbook" material means you can look up the meaning of your composite Venus in Pisces or composite Mars in the 10th house, etc. Skymates II is devoted entirely to the composite chart; there's so much information it deserved its own book!



CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 4.0 based on 4 reviews)

Consistent with the Forrests' usual high quality  
The interpretations of the various chart points are spot-on and enlightening; however, I would like to mention that my wife and I, who happened to know the exact time and place of our first meeting (within a few minutes), found the chart constructed for the "birth" of our relationship to be particularly effective. We are less convinced about the "composite" chart constructed from natal position "averaging". If you don't know the time when you both first became aware of each other, you can try the composite chart and see how well it works for you.

Almost 5 stars!  
Very good, as all the books of Steven Forrest. He is excellent. Only 4 stars because I would like to read more about de Transposition Houses (example: My Sun in your 4th house, etc.)

Nice reference  
If you are interested in evolutionary astrology and are not yet advanced enough, not in the mood or simply don't like the style of J. W. Greene "Pluto vol. 2", this is a good way to go.
Unlike the above mentioned work, Skymates has a good reference section and is written mostly as a cookbook.
It will appeal to those that have not yet mastered the subtleties of "Pluto's house and sign projecting through South node house and sign through South node ruler's house and sign..."
Don't get me wrong - I'm one of 'those'.

another winner by steven & jodie forrest!  
i recieved this book last night and spent about 5 hours with it -- its one of those. beautiful. i'd recommend it to everyone. the cookbook material is top notch. insightful enough for advanced astrologers to learn from, yet easy to use for a beginner. (however some basic astrological familiarity is required... if you aren't familiar yet with all the signs, planets, and houses than start with steven forrest's The Inner Sky!! it is so good - you'll LOVE it.) i particularly liked the section on the moon's nodes, which details evolutionary intent based on house and sign. i have not seen a whole chapter on the nodes in any other composite book. i can tell i'll be getting allot of use out of this book... thanks steven and jodie!
