Birth data: X

No birth time on record, so houses and the rising sign are not shown.

Note on this rating: Date and birthplace confirmed independently via Wikidata (P569/P19, precision to the day) and English Wikipedia. No reliable birth time is on public record, so none is asserted here.

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

Bonnie Parker’s Jupiter and Clyde Barrow’s Uranus are 0.45 degrees from an exact square.

Square · Hard · orb 0.45° · tightest of 40 contacts

Neither birth time here is exact, so the Moon is not scored against anything and the ascendant axis and house ring are not drawn. Sun through Pluto move at most about two degrees in a day, so every contact below is the same whatever the time. This is the whole of what a birth date can place, not a sample of it.

28 of the 40 contacts fall between Sun and Pluto, and all 28 are in the grid. A boxed cell is within one degree. The other 12 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.

Bonnie Parker inner ring, Clyde Barrow outer ring, with the contacts inside one degree drawn. 5 of them are between Sun and Pluto; the rest involve bodies that are not on either ring.

Shared generation

Jupiter through Pluto on both sides. Born 19 months apart, these two have their outer planets in nearly the same degrees, so anyone born near them shares most of this group. Listed because it is real, kept apart because it says little about the pair.

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

Values score highest of the five categories here, and identity is close behind. The chart contact that carries it is Venus opposite Venus at under one degree, which is about as tight as this engine measures. An opposition is not a clash so much as a facing: two people standing at either end of the same axis, wanting the same thing from opposite positions. Sun opposite Sun repeats the pattern at the level of identity. Where a square would grind, an opposition tends to hold a couple in view of each other.

Why they clash

The two lowest categories are communication and attraction, and the aspect list explains why: almost every contact is an opposition or a quincunx, and there is very little that simply flows. Mercury opposes both Sun and Venus, so information travels across a gap rather than along a shared wavelength. The single trine, Venus to Mars, is the one place the chart offers ease. On this scale that reads as a bond built on alignment of purpose rather than on easy daily conversation.

What each system says

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 Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow astrologically compatible?

Their charts make 40 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.45° and 0.63°. 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 Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow 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. Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow have 11 trine contacts between them, more than any other type.
