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
Paul McCartney and George Harrison'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, Venus to Mars | TRINE 2.79° |
| Thin line, Mars to Venus | TRINE 3.14° |

Why they click
Venus trines Mars at 2.79 degrees and Mars trines Venus at 3.14, a matched pair of trines running both directions between the same two planets. Reciprocal contacts like these are the most balanced thing in this synastry, and they put attraction at 41 while the other categories stay flat.
Why they clash
Four of the six contacts involve one chart's Mars, including an opposition to Mercury at 7.42 degrees and a quincunx to Sun at 3. Sun also squares Venus at 3.04. With drive touching nearly everything and communication reading at the floor of 30, this is a pairing that moves before it discusses.
What each system says
Twelve systems, two people
The Suns are 110.8° apart, outside orb of any aspect, which is why identity reads as an empty channel above.
Horse and Goat are in neither the trines nor the clashes.

Frequently asked
Are Paul McCartney and George Harrison astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 6 cross-aspects, the tightest at 2.79° and 3.14°. 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 Paul McCartney and George Harrison 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 quincunx mean between two charts?
A quincunx puts two placements at an awkward angle with no easy geometric relation, an adjustment rather than a flow or a clash. Paul McCartney and George Harrison have 2 quincunx contacts between them, more than any other type.
