Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung compatibility

The original source is unknown. No recorded verification, so houses and the rising sign are not shown.
Note on this rating: Rectified from an approximate time; treat the ascendant as uncertain.
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
Sigmund Freud’s Mars and Carl Jung’s Sun are 0.06 degrees from an exact sextile.
Carl Jung’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 35 contacts fall between Sun and Pluto, and all 26 are in the grid. A boxed cell is within one degree. The other 9 contacts involve Chiron and the lunar nodes and are listed below, 3 of them in the tight layer.
A cell is a plain glyph. The aspect it names is a Codex Link in the sentences above.
Sigmund Freud inner ring, Carl Jung outer ring, with the contacts inside one degree drawn. 3 of them are between Sun and Pluto; the rest involve bodies that are not on either ring.

6 of 35The contacts closest to exact, whichever bodies they involve. 3 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
7 of 35Jupiter through Pluto on both sides. Born 19 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
Freud's Mars sextiles Jung's Sun at 0.06 degrees, about as close to exact as an aspect gets. His drive meets the younger man's identity at an easy angle: encouragement that arrives as recognition. Freud's Sun sextiles Jung's Venus at 1.17 and his Mercury at 2.56, so three separate soft contacts run from Freud's chart into Jung's. All four aspects in the pair are soft. Nothing here is abrasive.
Why they clash
For two men whose entire association was conversation, there is no Mercury to Mercury contact at all. No Sun to Sun either, no Venus to Venus, no Mars to Mars. Every category sits at or just under the no-contact baseline, and the highest, attraction at 28, is a wide Venus trine Mars that scores below the floor. The traffic is one-directional: Freud's planets reach Jung's, and almost nothing returns. A pairing with no hard aspects also has no structure for disagreement.
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 77° 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 Carl Jung, and no house is named — those depend on a birth time recorded to the minute, and this one is an estimate.
Editorial note · Pluto opposition Mars
Four days after their initial meeting, Pluto opposing Mars signaled an intense, catalytic collision of two formidable psychological wills.
Frequently asked
Are Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 35 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.06° and 0.12°. 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 Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung 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. Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung have 8 sextile contacts between them, more than any other type.
