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 Mayer and Taylor Swift'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
This is the smoothest aspect list of the set. Sun sextile Sun at 1.38 degrees, Mercury sextile Sun at 0.44, Venus trine Venus, Venus sextile Mars, Mars trine Mars at 1.5. Five of the six contacts are soft angles, and several are tight. Attraction scores highest of the five categories, with Venus trine Venus and Venus sextile Mars both feeding it. On this scale that reads as a pairing where liking each other required very little effort from either side.
Why they clash
Mars opposite Venus is the one hard contact, and at 6.63 degrees it is the widest aspect on the board, so it carries less weight than the tight sextiles around it. Friction still lands mid-scale, which suggests the drive of one meeting the affection of the other is where whatever tension exists collects. Communication sits at the floor with no Mercury-to-Mercury contact at all. Easy chemistry, and no particular channel for talking about it.

Frequently asked
Are John Mayer and Taylor Swift astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 6 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.44° and 1.38°. 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 John Mayer and Taylor Swift 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. John Mayer and Taylor Swift have 3 sextile contacts between them, more than any other type.
