Note on this rating: Birth date 1948-10-06 from Wikidata Q2960346 (day precision) and the English Wikipedia article, which agree. Birth city Belfast from Wikidata P19. Country recorded as United Kingdom: Wikidata's P17 on Belfast returns "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland", the pre-1922 state, which is wrong for a 1948 birth. 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.

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
Sting and Frances Tomelty'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.
| Thick line, Mars to Venus | CONJUNCTION 1.50° |
| Thin line, Venus to Mercury | SEXTILE 2.19° |
| House ring, not drawn | |
Why they click
This scores higher overall than any other pairing in the corpus, and the reason is how much of the chart is in conjunction. Sun meets Sun, Venus meets Venus, and Mars meets the other Venus at 1.5 degrees. Conjunctions merge rather than aspect: identity with identity, taste with taste, drive with affection. Attraction and values both score in the eighties and above, which is unusual. Most pairings light one of those and leave the other at the floor.
Why they clash
Mars square Mars is the counterweight, and at 5.97 degrees it is the widest contact here, so it reads as a background rub rather than a defining contest. Friction still lands mid-scale. Communication sits at the floor with no Mercury-to-Mercury contact at all, so for all the merging this chart does elsewhere, the two of them have no natural channel for talking it through. Strong fusion, thin wiring.
What each system says
Twelve systems, two people
The Suns are 4.8° apart, close enough to feed the identity category above.
Rabbit and Rat are in neither the trines nor the clashes.

Frequently asked
Are Sting and Frances Tomelty astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 5 cross-aspects, the tightest at 1.5° and 2.19°. 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 Sting and Frances Tomelty 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 conjunction mean between two charts?
A conjunction puts two placements at nearly the same degree, so their energies blend into one signal rather than two. Sting and Frances Tomelty have 3 conjunction contacts between them, more than any other type.
