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 Mars and Ringo Starr’s Mars are 0.42 degrees from an exact sextile.
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.

23 of the 35 contacts fall between Sun and Pluto, and all 23 are in the grid. A boxed cell is within one degree. The other 12 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.
John Lennon inner ring, Ringo Starr outer ring, with the contacts inside one degree drawn. 5 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
Mars sextiles Mars at 0.42 degrees, near exact, and it is the steadying contact in the pair: compatible tempo, the same sense of when to push and when to stop. John's Mars also sextiles Ringo's Mercury, and Venus sextiles Venus. Every one of the five engine categories has a live aspect here, which is uncommon, and the overall reading reaches 65.
Why they clash
Three of the six aspects are squares, and they land on the load-bearing bodies. Sun squares Sun at 1.59 degrees, scoring 89. Mercury squares Mercury at 3.36. John's Mars squares Ringo's Venus at 3.26. Identity, speech and desire all meet at right angles, which is why this pair scores highest overall: the engine rewards contact, and hard contact scores above soft. The Venus sextile that might soften it is wide at 3.81 and scores 22, below the floor given to no contact 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 91.6° apart, close enough to feed the identity category 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
24 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 Ringo Starr astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 35 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.42° and 0.63°. 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 conjunction mean between two charts?
A conjunction puts two placements at nearly the same degree, so their energies blend into one signal rather than two. John Lennon and Ringo Starr have 14 conjunction contacts between them, more than any other type.
