Get your information together such as birth date, place of birth, and possibly time of birth (otherwise use 12 A.M.) of yourself and the people you are going to compare.

Go Here to get the longitude and latitude of exactly where the birth town is located

Go Here to get your Time Zone + or - Information

Go here to insert your information and get completed charts. (For the time use the military time method like 1:00 P.M. is 13:00 hours and 11:59 P.M. is 23:59 hours)

Take another look at Joan Quigley's information and cross reference the information you have gathered on the different people by comparing the signs in each chart:

To further clarify some confusing things you will see: There are various ways of putting the planets into different houses as with using the Placidus system or the Equinox system,(there are more systems than these) etc. What this means is that each system places your planets into the houses using its own method. Circle or not, the planets distances between themselves is calculable whether the earth is spinning in a circle (Placidus method) or in a pear shape (Equinox method). Picture the atmosphere around the earth that the earth is spinning in. This is where the houses are located, of course. One method says that area is divided equally into 12 houses (Placidus) and the other says the Earth is pear shaped and so the houses vary in size (Equinox). Okay, so this is important if we want to know what houses are affected by what planets. Each house, there are 12 of them, represents a different aspect of life such as how we handle our individuality, our money, our relatives, etc. Right now that's not where we are going. We do not need to be concerned with the houses for now because we are not doing 'pinhead precision' astrological charting. We are concerned about comparing our own planets in the different signs with someone else's planets in the different signs. We can use the Placidus system which divides the heavens that we are working with into 12 houses using the circle theory. The Placidus system works well enough and that is why a lot of astrologers use it. I agree. However, whatever system you pull up in the tools, make sure you use the same system to do all of your work or your comparisons will be off due to the nature of the differences in the systems.

Additionally: After compiling the information you will see the areas where you do not touch bases at all with the other person. No one's chart is in perfect harmony with anyone else's. However, if there are no major 'contact' points between the two charts it does not mean you cannot have a friendship with the person; just simply that it cannot honestly go deeper than friendship as in a mutual respect.

Hopefully I have introduced you to a new outlook on life that will prove enlightening for you. There is much, much more involved with this subject and how to interpret all this is the key. It can be a very time consuming and very intense subject to deal with. However, the lightest aspect of it is the composite charting in my estimation.

Unfortunately, Joan Quigley's "Astrology for Adults" book is a bit outdated due to the fact that her charting information ends around 1959,(I think it was), even if you could get it right now. However, it was very excellent and was the book that involved me with astrology in the beginning. The best part of it for the purpose needed here, I have copied for you.
