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.

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
John Lennon and George Harrison's Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Moon are drawn here, along with the house ring and ascendant axis both charts support. This is a complete chart of what is known, not a partial chart of what is not.

Why they click
John's Mercury trines George's Sun at 3.08 degrees, the softest contact in the pair and the one that lets the older man's phrasing land as recognition rather than correction. Communication and attraction are both live categories here, scoring 91 and 83, which is unusually engaged for a reading drawn from four bodies. Whatever passes between these two charts passes strongly. The connection is not faint in any direction.
Why they clash
Mercury squares Mercury at 1.34 degrees, near enough to exact to be a permanent feature of how they talk: two verbal styles at right angles, neither able to soften the other. John's Venus opposes George's Sun at 2.26 and his Mars opposes George's Venus at 3.33, so desire and taste face off across the chart as well. Add John's Sun square George's Mars. Four hard aspects, and identity itself has no direct channel at all.
What each system says
Twelve systems, two people
The Suns are 139.2° apart, outside orb of any aspect, which is why identity reads as an empty channel above.
Dragon and Goat are in neither the trines nor the clashes.

Frequently asked
Are John Lennon and George Harrison astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 6 cross-aspects, the tightest at 1.34° and 2.26°. 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.
What does square mean between two charts?
A square puts two placements at a right angle, generating friction that tends to force action. John Lennon and George Harrison have 2 square contacts between them, more than any other type.
