✦ How The Mirror is composed ✦
Two charts read separately, then read together
Each chart treated on its own terms first. Then a six-section synthesis composed by hand because the cross-section cannot be parallelized.
Two parallel Readings
Both individual Readings run the same Master Prompt + deterministic computation pipeline as the standalone Reading. Each person's chart is treated on its own merits before any cross-section work begins. Two complete documents, equal weight.
Composite chart construction
Drawn from the midpoints of every planet pair across both natal charts. The composite is the chart of the third entity that exists when the two of you are in the room together. Composite Sun, Moon, Rising, every planet, every house · same depth as a single natal chart, just for the dyad.
Synastry by aspect, with orb
Every cross-chart aspect tighter than 5 degrees of orb is named with degree of orb stated. Sun-Moon, Venus-Mars, Saturn-everything, Pluto-everything, the lunar nodes touching anyone's chart. Aspect-by-aspect, not vibes-based.
Hand-finished synthesis
The six synthesis sections (cross-numerology, composite, synastry, Soul Contract cross-reading, recurring pattern, what-this-is-for) cannot be templated. The practitioner reads both charts together, holds the convergences and frictions in working memory, and composes the synthesis by hand over 24-48 hours of focused work.
