Mars lands on the Sun at half a degree, and Mercury sextiles Mars at a fifth.

Note on this rating: Birth date 1952-10-22 from Wikidata Q106706 (day precision) and the English Wikipedia article. Birth city West Homestead, Pennsylvania from Wikidata P19. Birth time unknown, so Rodden X and the time is an estimate.
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.
Cross-aspects
Where the two charts actually touch
Category shape
Five categories, one chart each
Identity
SUN × SUN
No aspect inside orb. Their core identities read independently of each other here.
None
Communication
MERCURY × MERCURY
No aspect inside orb. This engine finds no direct communication channel between them.
None
Attraction
VENUS × MARS
No aspect inside orb. Neither Venus reaches the other's Mars within orb.
None
Friction
MARS × MARS
No aspect inside orb. No built-in friction point shows up between the two Mars placements.
None
Values
VENUS × VENUS
No aspect inside orb. Their values neither align nor clash by this measure.
None
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
Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum'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.
| Thin line, Mercury to Mars | SEXTILE 0.20° |
| Thick line, Mars to Sun | CONJUNCTION 0.54° |
| House ring, not drawn | |
Why they click
Two contacts here are unusually precise. Mars conjunct Sun sits at 0.54 degrees, one person's drive landing directly on the other's identity, and Mercury sextile Mars at 0.2 degrees is closer still. Venus trine Mercury at 2.94 adds an easy line between affection and thinking. For a four-aspect chart the precision is notable even though the breadth is not.
Why they clash
Every category sits at the floor of the scale. Sun square Mercury is the one hard angle, and at 4.74 degrees it is the widest aspect present. What holds this chart back is absence rather than conflict: no Sun-to-Sun contact, no Venus-to-Venus, no Mars-to-Mars. Both birth times are estimates, so the engine has no angles or houses to work with and is scoring on planetary aspects alone.
What each system says
Twelve systems, two people
The Suns are 112.2° apart, outside orb of any aspect, which is why identity reads as an empty channel above.
Goat and Dragon are in neither the trines nor the clashes.
Frequently asked
Are Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 4 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.2° and 0.54°. 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 Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum 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 square mean between two charts?
A square puts two placements at a right angle, generating friction that tends to force action. Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum have one square between them.

This page compares Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars, because those are the four that a birth date alone can place. The synastry calculator runs all ten bodies against each other.
