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
Brad Pitt’s North node and Gwyneth Paltrow’s Mercury are 0.26 degrees from an exact square.
Both birth times are exact, so the Moon joins Sun through Pluto on both axes, and every contact also carries the house it falls in on the other person’s chart. The ascendant axis and the house ring are drawn.

20 of the 31 contacts fall between Sun and Pluto, and all 20 are in the grid. A boxed cell is within one degree. The other 11 contacts involve Chiron and the lunar nodes and are listed below, 4 of them in the tight layer.
A cell is a plain glyph. The aspect it names is a Codex Link in the sentences above.
Brad Pitt inner ring, Gwyneth Paltrow outer ring, with the contacts inside one degree drawn. 0 of them are between Sun and Pluto; the rest involve bodies that are not on either ring.

Within one degree
4 of 31The contacts closest to exact, whichever bodies they involve. 4 of these are Chiron or lunar node contacts, so they are named here and are not in the grid above. Tightest first, which is the only order that holds for every pair.

Shared generation
4 of 31Jupiter through Pluto on both sides. Born 9 years 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
Communication is the highest category, and two trines carry what ease exists here: Sun trine Venus and Venus trine Mars, both wide but real. Seven aspects is a dense chart, so these two charts touch at many points even though most of those points are hard angles rather than soft ones.
Why they clash
Mars square Mercury at 0.58 degrees is the tightest contact and the most pointed: drive meeting thinking at a right angle, close to exact. Around it sit Sun square Mars, Mars square Sun, Mercury square Mercury and a Venus quincunx Venus. Five hard angles out of seven. Identity, friction and values all rest at or just below the floor, so the density of contact is not translating into any category the engine reads as strong.
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 80.9° 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.
The reading
14.5 of 36
Two things stated plainly rather than left silent: Varna and Vashya use a directional rule from traditional bride/groom roles, applied here in the order the two people are listed on this page rather than assigning either role. Bhakoot dosha's most common cancellation, matching rashi lords, is applied; Nadi dosha carries no cancellation here, though same-nakshatra-different-pada is sometimes cited elsewhere as easing it. Mangal (Kuja) dosha is a separate check and isn't part of this reading.

Frequently asked
Are Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 31 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.26° 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.
What does square mean between two charts?
A square puts two placements at a right angle, generating friction that tends to force action. Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow have 11 square contacts between them, more than any other type.
