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
Freddie Mercury’s Mercury and Roger Taylor’s Uranus are 0.06 degrees from an exact sextile.
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.

24 of the 34 contacts fall between Sun and Pluto, and all 24 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, 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.
Freddie Mercury inner ring, Roger Taylor outer ring, with the contacts inside one degree drawn. 4 of them are between Sun and Pluto; the rest involve bodies that are not on either ring.

6 of 34The contacts closest to exact, whichever bodies they involve. 2 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 34Jupiter through Pluto on both sides. Born 3 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
Freddie Mercury's Venus reaches four different bodies in Taylor's chart: his Sun, his Mercury, his Venus and his Mars, which is every planet the engine tracks. The tightest of the four is the Venus to Venus sextile at a degree and a third, and it carries values to 47, the highest reading here.
Why they clash
Identity, communication and friction all return 30, meaning neither pair of Suns, Mercuries nor Marses makes an angle at all. Mercury's own Sun and his Mars sit outside every contact on the page. Six aspects between the charts, and all of them originate from just two of his four planets.
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 39.1° 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.

Moon, Ascendant and Midheaven contacts are not shown for Freddie Mercury, and no house is named — those depend on a birth time recorded to the minute, and this one is an estimate.
Editorial note · Neptune square Sun
Arriving 241 days after the release, Neptune square Sun dissolved artistic boundaries as the track settled into cultural mythos.

Editorial note · Uranus square Sun
Exact 3 days before the release, Uranus square the Sun marked a potent wave of radical nonconformity and shock value for Queen's boldest track.
Frequently asked
Are Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 34 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.06° and 0.18°. 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 Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor 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. Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor have 9 sextile contacts between them, more than any other type.
