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
John Lennon’s Uranus and George Harrison’s Chiron are 0.03 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.

34 of the 44 contacts fall between Sun and Pluto, and all 34 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, 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.
John Lennon inner ring, George Harrison outer ring, with the contacts inside one degree drawn. 1 of them are between Sun and Pluto; the rest involve bodies that are not on either ring.

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
John's Mercury trines George's Sun at 3.08 degrees, the softest contact in the pair and the one that lets the older man's phrasing land as recognition rather than correction. Communication and attraction are both live categories here, scoring 91 and 83, which is unusually engaged for a reading drawn from four bodies. Whatever passes between these two charts passes strongly. The connection is not faint in any direction.
Why they clash
Mercury squares Mercury at 1.34 degrees, near enough to exact to be a permanent feature of how they talk: two verbal styles at right angles, neither able to soften the other. John's Venus opposes George's Sun at 2.26 and his Mars opposes George's Venus at 3.33, so desire and taste face off across the chart as well. Add John's Sun square George's Mars. Four hard aspects, and identity itself has no direct channel at all.
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 139.2° 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
23.5 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 John Lennon and George Harrison astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 44 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.03° and 0.13°. 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. John Lennon and George Harrison have 11 square contacts between them, more than any other type.
