Some plans only exist when two people are in the room: a date night, a serious talk about the future, signing an agreement, telling the family. For those, the question is not "is this a good day for me?" but "is this a good day for us?"

Best Time for two asks exactly that. You choose two people and a window of days, and the report scores every day in that window for 20 shared plans, then shows you the strongest days first. The two people can be partners, friends, business partners, siblings, a parent and an adult child: anyone who does something together.

What you can plan for

The 20 shared events are: a romantic date night, a sensual meeting, a proposal or commitment talk, a wedding or ceremony, a trip together, meeting each other's family, moving in together, a serious talk about the future, signing a partnership agreement, launching a joint project, a negotiation between you, pitching together to a client, a money or responsibilities talk, a family reunion, a celebration together, a heart-to-heart conversation, asking for support or a favour, a joint creative or sport activity, clearing the air after a conflict, and reconnecting after time apart.

Some are about love, some about family, and some are plain business. Two founders can use it to choose a day for their pitch, and two cousins can use it to choose a day for the family reunion they keep promising to organise.

One chart for the two of you

The heart of this report is the composite chart. Take the Sun in one birth chart and the Sun in the other, and find the point exactly halfway between them: that is the composite Sun. Do the same for every planet out to Pluto, and, when both birth times are known, for the Ascendant and the Midheaven. The result is a single chart that belongs to neither person. Astrologers read it as the chart of the relationship itself.

Best Time scores the transits to that chart and only to that chart. This is a deliberate choice. Each person's own transits already have their own single-person Best Time, and adding them here would count the same thing twice. So the result describes days that favour the two of you together, not either person alone.

When both birth times are known, the composite chart also has houses: equal houses measured from the composite Ascendant, or whole signs if the first person uses whole sign houses. That lets the report see a planet moving through the composite fourth house, the house of home and family, or the composite seventh, the house of the partnership.

How a day is scored

For each day, the report takes the planets at noon in the first person's time zone and compares them with the composite chart. It looks at the ten planets from the Sun to Pluto and the six main aspects (conjunction, sextile, square, trine, opposition and quincunx). Every transit within orb counts, and each one is weighed for each event: how heavy the transiting planet is, how exact the aspect is, how relevant both planets are to that event, and whether the aspect helps or works against it.

Each event has its own rules. A date night leans on Venus, the Moon and the composite fifth and seventh houses. Moving in together leans on the composite Moon, the bottom of the chart and the fourth house. A serious talk about the future leans on Mercury and Saturn. Signing a partnership agreement leans on Mercury, Saturn and the composite Descendant, the point that stands for the partnership.

Every event also has a few textbook combinations, the ones an astrologer would name first, which earn an extra bonus: Jupiter conjunct the composite Venus for a date night, Jupiter crossing the composite bottom of the chart for moving in, Saturn trine the composite Mercury for an agreement. A few classic warnings cost extra, such as Neptune square the composite Mercury before a serious talk, when words tend to blur.

With known birth times, the composite houses add their part. Finally, a few facts about the sky count for everyone: Mercury, Venus or Mars retrograde, a New or Full Moon, and the sign the Moon is in. Mercury retrograde lowers the score for signing an agreement more than for almost anything else. For reconnecting after time apart, though, Mercury and Venus retrograde count slightly in favour, because looking back is the whole point. And clearing the air after a conflict gets a small lift from Mercury retrograde too.

What the stars mean

The total score of each event on each day becomes one to five stars, and the stars are absolute. They were calibrated on composite charts built from pairs of real charts, over a full year of days, separately for each of the 20 events. One star means a day better than about half of all days, three stars puts it in roughly the top 14%, and five stars means a top 2% day for that event.

So a quiet week looks quiet. If no day in the window reaches three stars for any event, the report says so instead of dressing up the best of a weak week.

What you see

The report opens with the best days: for each event, up to three days in the window that reach at least three stars, strongest events first. Below that is the calendar, day by day, with the events each day favours most.

Choose any event on any day to see why: the transits to the composite chart behind the score, strongest first, with positive values for what helps and negative values for what works against it, the orb and the date each aspect becomes exact. The textbook combinations are marked. The "Reading" button asks the AI astrologer to explain that event on those days, written to the two of you together, using one of your astrologer questions.

The next 7 days are available to everyone. Premium members can also choose the next 30, 90 or 365 days.

Birth times and zodiacs

The composite angles and houses need both birth times. If either one is missing, the report says whose it is, scores the composite planets only, and compares the result with other pairs scored the same way, so the stars stay fair.

If both charts use the same sidereal zodiac, the pair is calculated in that zodiac. If the two charts are set to different zodiacs, they cannot be averaged as they are, so both are brought to the tropical zodiac first, and the report tells you.

How to use it well

Best Time chooses days, not hours, and it describes conditions, not outcomes. A five-star day for a heart-to-heart will not do the listening for you; it suggests the sky is not working against the conversation. A one-star day is not a ban.

It works best as something you look at together, when you have some freedom: three possible weekends for the trip, a flexible fortnight for the talk about money. And when the date is fixed, read the "why" for it. Knowing that Mars is pressing on the composite Moon that day is a good reason to keep the conversation gentle and the schedule light.

Frequently asked questions

Which chart does Best Time for two use?
The composite chart: the midpoints between the two birth charts, read as the chart of the relationship. Only transits to the composite are scored, so each person's own transits are not counted twice.

Can I use it for two people who are not a couple?
Yes. Any two people can be chosen, and several of the 20 events are about family, friendship or work, such as a family reunion, signing a partnership agreement or pitching together to a client.

What if one of us does not know the birth time?
The composite planets are still scored. The composite angles and houses are left out, and the stars are compared with other pairs without both birth times.

Why are the results different from my own Best Time?
Because they read a different chart. Your own Best Time reads your birth chart; this one reads the composite. A day can favour the relationship without standing out for either person alone.

What do five stars mean?
A day in the top 2% for that event, measured against a full year of days across many pairs. Three stars is already roughly the top 14%.

How far ahead can we look?
Everyone can see the next 7 days. Premium members can also look 30, 90 or 365 days ahead.
