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 Ringo Starr'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.

| Thick line, Sun to Sun | SQUARE 1.59° |

Why they click
Mars sextiles Mars at 0.42 degrees, near exact, and it is the steadying contact in the pair: compatible tempo, the same sense of when to push and when to stop. John's Mars also sextiles Ringo's Mercury, and Venus sextiles Venus. Every one of the five engine categories has a live aspect here, which is uncommon, and the overall reading reaches 65.
Why they clash
Three of the six aspects are squares, and they land on the load-bearing bodies. Sun squares Sun at 1.59 degrees, scoring 89. Mercury squares Mercury at 3.36. John's Mars squares Ringo's Venus at 3.26. Identity, speech and desire all meet at right angles, which is why this pair scores highest overall: the engine rewards contact, and hard contact scores above soft. The Venus sextile that might soften it is wide at 3.81 and scores 22, below the floor given to no contact at all.

Frequently asked
Are John Lennon and Ringo Starr astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 6 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.42° and 1.59°. 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 Ringo Starr have 3 square contacts between them, more than any other type.
