Note on this rating: Birth date 1969-07-24 from Wikidata Q40715 (day precision) and the English Wikipedia article. Birth city The Bronx, New York from Wikidata P19. Birth time unknown, so Rodden X and the time is an estimate.
This page compares Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars, the four placements a birth date alone can place. Moon, Ascendant and Midheaven are left out here by design, not by omission, so nothing on this page is scored against a birth time it cannot trust.

No aspect inside orb. Their values neither align nor clash by this measure.
None
Scores rank how close a contact is to exact, not how well two people get along. A high friction score means the two Mars are in tight aspect, which is information, not a warning.
The overlap
Two charts, laid over each other
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars are drawn here, the four placements a birth date alone can place with no birth time required. This is a complete chart of what is known, not a partial chart of what is not.
| Thick line, Mars to Mars | SQUARE 3.21° |
| Thin line, Sun to Venus | SEXTILE 3.67° |
| House ring, not drawn | |
Why they click
Mercury conjunct Mercury gives communication the second-highest score here. A conjunction between two Mercuries describes people who process at a similar speed and reach for similar language, though at 7.43 degrees this one is wide and its influence is broad rather than sharp. Sun sextile Venus adds a warm line between one identity and the other's affection.
Why they clash
Mars square Mars at 3.21 degrees is the tightest aspect present, and friction is the top category as a result. Two drives at a right angle pull crossways on pace and direction. With only three aspects on the board, this is one of the thinnest charts in the corpus, and identity, attraction and values all sit at the floor with no contact at all between the relevant placements.
What each system says
Twelve systems, two people
The Suns are 21.3° apart, outside orb of any aspect, which is why identity reads as an empty channel above.
Rat and Rooster are in neither the trines nor the clashes.

Frequently asked
Are Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 3 cross-aspects, the tightest at 3.21° and 3.67°. Astrology does not score a relationship out of a hundred, and the number on this page counts how much contact two charts make, not how well two people do.
Why isn't there a house ring on the chart above?
At least one of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez doesn't have a curated, non-estimated birth time, so a house placement would be a guess. This page only shows what a birth date alone can place.
What does sextile mean between two charts?
A sextile puts two placements in a supportive relation that usually needs some initiative to activate. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have one sextile between them.
