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
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom'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
Values scores highest here, and the aspects behind it run through Mercury: sextile to the other Mercury, trine to Venus, sextile to Mars. One chart's way of thinking reaches three separate points in the other at easy angles, which is a broad and cooperative signal. Mars conjunct Mars sits alongside it, describing two people whose pace and appetite for action are closely matched. Together those read as a pairing that agrees readily on what to do and when.
Why they clash
Friction is the second-highest category, and the Mars conjunction is doing double duty. Matched drive means no natural division of labour, so both push at once. Venus square Venus is the sharper note: affection and taste meeting at a hard angle, which tends to show up as disagreement about what is pleasant rather than about what is important. Communication scores lowest of the five, so the working alignment is not backed by an easy channel for discussing it.
What each system says
Twelve systems, two people
The Suns are 80.7° apart, outside orb of any aspect, which is why identity reads as an empty channel above.
Rat and Dragon are a trine, one of the four traditional alliance pairs.
