Have you ever felt more confident, cautious, or emotionally invested around one particular person—and wondered why that side of you comes out with them?
A relationship can affect each person differently. What feels reassuring to one person may feel demanding to the other. A shared goal might give one person a sense of purpose while leaving the other questioning how much they are expected to change.
The Marks chart offers an astrological way to explore those individual experiences.
Its central question is: How does this particular relationship affect me?
1. How is a Marks chart created?
The technique was developed by astrologer Bob Marks.
It starts with the couple’s Davison relationship chart, calculated from the midpoint between their birth times and locations. A second Davison chart is then created using one person’s birth data and the couple’s Davison chart.
Repeating that process for the other person produces two separate Marks charts.
Each chart represents one person’s side of the connection. This is why checking whose chart you are viewing matters: Person A’s chart explores the relationship’s effect on Person A, and Person B’s explores its effect on Person B.
