Synastry House Overlays
A house overlay asks which house of one person receives a planet from the other; reversing chart order changes the statement. Scope is explicit.
Overview
A Venus falls in B’s 7th, while B Venus falls in A’s 3rd; the two directions are not interchangeable. This is the worked result for Synastry House Overlays; it remains conditional and does not turn geometry or timing into a verdict. The comparison method is explicit: Use the receiving chart’s chosen house system and reliable angles, record planet, house, cusp distance, and direction, then compare the reciprocal overlay.

Definition and exact scope
A house overlay asks which house of one person receives a planet from the other; reversing chart order changes the statement.
Calculation or decision rule
Use the receiving chart’s chosen house system and reliable angles, record planet, house, cusp distance, and direction, then compare the reciprocal overlay. The receipt retains the chosen input record, reference frame, tolerance, and version, then identifies the first step where an independent recalculation diverges.
Worked case and illustrative near miss
B 7th-house span 8°♊–5°♋; A ♀ at 12°♊; A 3rd-house span contains B ♀. A Venus falls in B’s 7th, while B Venus falls in A’s 3rd; the two directions are not interchangeable.
Illustrative near miss; does not qualify: Saying “Venus in the 7th” without naming whose Venus and whose house.
School, model, and context variants
If either birth time is unknown, angle and house overlays may be unusable; sign placement cannot silently substitute for a house.
Product, safety, and verification boundary
OpenFate connects Synastry House Overlays only to the two-chart compatibility flow and natal evidence; it does not score destiny or guarantee a relationship result. Synastry House Overlays preserves contrary observations and uncertainty. It cannot replace consent, professional help, location research, or a person’s account.
