↓ Below: all 40 contacts named, with orbs
No birth time on record, so houses and the rising sign are not shown.
Note on this rating: Birth date 1969-07-24 from Wikidata Q40715 (day precision) and the English Wikipedia article. Birth city The Bronx, New York from Wikidata P19. Birth time unknown, so Rodden X and the time is an estimate.
This page compares the nine bodies a birth date alone can place, Sun through Pluto, and lists the Chiron and lunar node contacts alongside them. The Moon is drawn as the span it could have moved through and is scored in nothing here; the ascendant axis and the house ring are left out by design, not by omission, so nothing on this page is scored against a birth time it cannot trust.
The overlap
Where the two charts touch
Ben Affleck’s Sun and Jennifer Lopez’s North node are 0.21 degrees from an exact quincunx.
Jennifer Lopez’s birth time is not exact, so the Moon is not scored and the ascendant axis and house ring are not drawn for either chart. Sun through Pluto move at most about two degrees in a day, so every contact below is the same whatever the time.

26 of the 40 contacts fall between Sun and Pluto, and all 26 are in the grid. A boxed cell is within one degree. The other 14 contacts involve Chiron and the lunar nodes and are listed below, 3 of them in the tight layer.
A cell is a plain glyph. The aspect it names is a Codex Link in the sentences above.
Ben Affleck inner ring, Jennifer Lopez outer ring, with the contacts inside one degree drawn. 7 of them are between Sun and Pluto; the rest involve bodies that are not on either ring.

Trines and sextiles are soft, squares, oppositions and quincunxes hard. A conjunction depends on which two bodies meet, so it carries no tone here.
Why they click
Mercury conjunct Mercury gives communication the second-highest score here. A conjunction between two Mercuries describes people who process at a similar speed and reach for similar language, though at 7.43 degrees this one is wide and its influence is broad rather than sharp. Sun sextile Venus adds a warm line between one identity and the other's affection.
Why they clash
Mars square Mars at 3.21 degrees is the tightest aspect present, and friction is the top category as a result. Two drives at a right angle pull crossways on pace and direction. With only three aspects on the board, this is one of the thinnest charts in the corpus, and identity, attraction and values all sit at the floor with no contact at all between the relevant placements.
What each system says
Twelve systems, two people
This is what comparing two charts system by system looks like: the same birth data on both sides, read against each other one system at a time.
The Suns are 21.3° apart, outside orb of any aspect, which is why identity reads as an empty channel above.
A second tradition
Guna Milan (Ashtakoot)
Guna Milan is the compatibility method used in Vedic matchmaking, traditionally consulted before an arranged marriage. It scores eight factors between two Moon placements on a 36-point scale, shown here as what this one tradition reads: not a verdict, and not averaged with the Western reading above, which may disagree.

Frequently asked
Are Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 40 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.21° and 0.31°. 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 Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez 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. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have 10 sextile contacts between them, more than any other type.
