Values
VENUS × VENUS
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
Brian May and Roger Taylor'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.

Why they click
Brian May's Sun sits within seven degrees of Taylor's Sun and within six and a quarter of Taylor's Mercury. Those are the only two contacts between these charts, and both run from the same planet. Identity reads 65, on the wider of the pair.
Why they clash
Four of the five categories return 30, the figure the engine gives when the two planets in question make no angle at all. May's Mercury, Venus and Mars reach nothing in the other chart, and neither Taylor's Venus nor his Mars is touched. This is about as thin as a reading gets while still having contact.
What each system says
Twelve systems, two people

Frequently asked
Are Brian May and Roger Taylor astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 2 cross-aspects, the tightest at 6.19° and 6.98°. 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 Brian May and Roger Taylor 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 conjunction mean between two charts?
A conjunction puts two placements at nearly the same degree, so their energies blend into one signal rather than two. Brian May and Roger Taylor have 2 conjunction contacts between them, more than any other type.
Minimal contact
See what a wider lens finds
This page compares Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars, because those are the four that a birth date alone can place. With this few cross-aspects between the two, a midpoint chart is often the more informative object.
