Composite and Ruler of personal 7th house?

[cosirose]

Good Afternoon and Happy New Year!
This is my first posting here!

So, though I am still a novice in my understanding of astrology, I was reflecting on the beauty of using both synastry and the composite to get the whole picture of a relationship.

So with what I'm about to ask I'm not asking for a reading...but wondering if my thoughts are accurate and if others might have the same experience...

Can the ruler of the 7th in your personal chart be filled (emotionally) by the sun composite in that sign? I don't even know if that question is clear enough.

My Example: So in the composite of my boyfriend and I, we have Sun Cancer 7'3.

My rising being Capricorn in my own chart, Cancer would then be the 7th house ruler, no? (I think I have this right) So then, could the Cancer energy we have created in our composite fill that for me? It sure feels like it does. His rising is in Aries so, he doesn't traditionally fit it.

Am I on to something here? Or is this a very silly idea I am posing here...


I'd post the charts, but don't know how to do that here.

Warmly,

Hi Cosirose,

Not silly at all.

Our synastry contacts to the composite, as you describe above, can tell us something about how we might respond to the relationship. If the comp sun is in your natal 7th house, then the relationship (comp sun) lights up your 7th (your own experience of personal, socially significant one-to-one relationships.)

This can feel great if you are in touch and happy with your relationship world. If you are not, that is, if you are not creating the kinds of relationships you want, a comp sun in your natal 7th could mean that the relationship with that comp person highlights what isn't right. Do yo see what I mean?

If you have Cancer on the 7th house cusp, we say that the ruler of the 7th is the Moon. Signs reside on cusps but the Planets rule. Look to the ruler of the sign on the descendent, in this case the Cancer, and the ruling planet becomes the ruler of the 7th. In your comp with this person, the Moon also rules the comp sun and as you say, the relationship itself fulfils something in you which in part can be symbolized by the ruler of your 7th and the comp sun being the same.

I would be curious as to how your natal Moon and the comp Moon and your partner's Moon fit in.

We can look at how the comp (the relationship) stimulates us by placing the comp planets around the natal charts, and that is a valid thing to do. You might find parts of you respond quite naturally to the relationship, and other parts not so much.

If, for example, the comp had a strong Uranus component, we might feel that the relationship thrived on sudden insights, unexpected events and thrill. If you, being Saturn ruled (Cap rising), preferred plans and caution to spontaneity and risk, the relationship might feel precarious to you, even though it was in other ways fulfilling.

Do you get the idea?

Can anyone else comment here on how composite sun and house rulerships coincide?

This is an interesting topic.

Thanks!
Kim

hi cosirose,
kim hit the major points, the main in my mind (if i fully grasp the question) being:
This can feel great if you are in touch and happy with your relationship world.
the effect isn't necessarily good or bad, but will affect what's already happening.

but something that should be mentioned: the ruler of the 7th (natally or in a composite) doesn't have to do with emotions. it's with the transaction that relationship is, relationship of all kinds. the balance or imbalance in our dealings with other individuals.
to work with potential emotional impact, we go to the moon in the charts and the sign of cancer. since your example does include cancer on the cusp of the 7th it might seem confusing, but it's only coincidental.

Hello,
Thank you both for your insight! Yes, I hear what you are saying about the moon being the ruler, but don't really understand what you mean. Can you explain further??? So if you look at his moon and my moon in relationship to the ruler of the 7th house, what does that tell you?

Actually I'd love to post our synastry and composite chart, but dont' know how to upload it to this website. If someone could do that it would be great or if someone can tell me how to do it, I will. But, here is our information:

Me
8/29/1974
Santa Barbara, CA
4:16pm
USA

Him
6/7/1975
Goleta, CA
2:02am
USA

I have done a lot of research into our relationship so am now onto trying to understand the deeper nuances that impact our relationship, and in my studying realized how important the composite is on your own chart or at least it seems to be...

And, yes, you will notice if you do the composite chart that there is a great emphasis in the 6th house and yet it doesn't fit us in the traditional sense or an imbalanced relationship or patient/doctor relationship. However, we do the same work (counseling youth) and that is where we met. And I was coming out of an abusive marriage when we met. And I struggle with an illness and he is very loving and helpful with me. And I in return am loving and helpful with is family matters. We have been together for two years this March 2007.

And my moon is Aquarius
his moon Taurus
my rising Capricorn
his rising Aries
and we both have Venus in Leo
We also have a grand trine and a kite
and my node is opposed to his Sun in synastry. So my south node conjuncts his Sun.
his moon in my 4th house
my Saturn in his 4th house
my Venus in his 5th
his sun in my 5th
my Uranus/Pluto in his 7th and this is naturally where his Uranus/Pluto lies
My MC is Libra (ruler of his 7th)
His MC is Capricorn (opposite ruler of my 7th)
And we have a bunch of midpoint connections too.

(I could go on and on here and and I know I said I didn't want a reading but to better undestand what you are both saying I would Love to have more of your ideas and thoughts about the charts!!!!)


Warmly,
Blessings,
