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
Beyoncé’s Neptune and JAY-Z’s Mercury are 0.33 degrees from an exact conjunction.
JAY-Z’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 43 contacts fall between Sun and Pluto, and all 26 are in the grid. A boxed cell is within one degree. The other 17 contacts involve Chiron and the lunar nodes and are listed below, 2 of them in the tight layer.
A cell is a plain glyph. The aspect it names is a Codex Link in the sentences above.

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
Venus does most of the work here and does it in both directions: Venus trine Mars at 0.73 degrees, Mars trine Venus at 2.43, Venus sextile Mercury at 0.96, Mercury sextile Venus at 3.78. Affection reaching drive and thinking from each side, all at soft angles. Attraction scores second highest of the five. What that describes is a mutual warmth that flows rather than one person carrying it.
Why they clash
Identity is the top category, and it rests on Sun square Sun at 0.57 degrees. A square that tight between two Suns is a permanent charge: two people who cannot be indifferent to each other and cannot easily merge either. Communication, friction and values all sit at the floor, with no Mercury-to-Mercury contact at all. The chart concentrates almost everything into personal charge and mutual affection, and registers very little elsewhere.
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 89.4° apart, close enough to feed the identity category 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 Beyoncé and JAY-Z astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 43 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.33° and 0.38°. 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 Beyoncé and JAY-Z 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 trine mean between two charts?
A trine puts two placements in easy relation, a flow that takes little effort to access. Beyoncé and JAY-Z have 10 trine contacts between them, more than any other type.
