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
Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo'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
Mars conjunct Mars is the standout. Two people whose drive runs at the same tempo and reaches for the same kind of thing, which shows up as a pair who work rather than rest. Mercury trine Mercury at one and a half degrees supports it: thinking that meets easily, ideas that need little translation. Values scores second highest of the five categories. Where this pairing agrees, it agrees at the level of what the work is for.
Why they clash
Friction is the highest category, and the reason sits next to the Mars conjunction rather than against it. Shared drive with no difference in direction means two people pushing into the same space. Venus opposes Venus and Mars opposes the other Sun, so affection and will both arrive across a gap. Identity and attraction both sit at the floor of the scale, which on a chart this active suggests the pull here is not romantic ease. It is two independent centres of gravity holding position.
What each system says
Twelve systems, two people
The Suns are 153.6° apart, outside orb of any aspect, which is why identity reads as an empty channel above.
Dog and Goat are in neither the trines nor the clashes.

Frequently asked
Are Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 5 cross-aspects, the tightest at 1.51° and 4.69°. 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 Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo 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 opposition mean between two charts?
An opposition puts two placements directly across the chart, a pull between two poles that has to be balanced rather than resolved. Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo have 3 opposition contacts between them, more than any other type.
