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
Diego Rivera’s Sun and Frida Kahlo’s Chiron are 0.32 degrees from an exact sextile.
Diego Rivera’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.

21 of the 31 contacts fall between Sun and Pluto, and all 21 are in the grid. A boxed cell is within one degree. The other 10 contacts involve Chiron and the lunar nodes and are listed below, 1 of them in the tight layer.
A cell is a plain glyph. The aspect it names is a Codex Link in the sentences above.
Diego Rivera inner ring, Frida Kahlo outer ring, with the contacts inside one degree drawn. 2 of them are between Sun and Pluto; the rest involve bodies that are not on either ring.

3 of 31The contacts closest to exact, whichever bodies they involve. 1 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 21 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
Mars conjunct Mars is the standout. Two people whose drive runs at the same tempo and reaches for the same kind of thing, which shows up as a pair who work rather than rest. Mercury trine Mercury at one and a half degrees supports it: thinking that meets easily, ideas that need little translation. Values scores second highest of the five categories. Where this pairing agrees, it agrees at the level of what the work is for.
Why they clash
Friction is the highest category, and the reason sits next to the Mars conjunction rather than against it. Shared drive with no difference in direction means two people pushing into the same space. Venus opposes Venus and Mars opposes the other Sun, so affection and will both arrive across a gap. Identity and attraction both sit at the floor of the scale, which on a chart this active suggests the pull here is not romantic ease. It is two independent centres of gravity holding position.
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 153.6° 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 Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 31 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.32° and 0.6°. 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 Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo 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 opposition mean between two charts?
An opposition puts two placements directly across the chart, a pull between two poles that has to be balanced rather than resolved. Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo have 8 opposition contacts between them, more than any other type.
