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 Jupiter and Yoko Ono’s Venus are 0.09 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.

23 of the 30 contacts fall between Sun and Pluto, and all 23 are in the grid. A boxed cell is within one degree. The other 7 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.
John Lennon inner ring, Yoko Ono 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.
All 30 contacts, in four layers
Within one degree
5 of 30The 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
8 of 30Jupiter through Pluto on both sides. Born 8 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.

Chiron and the lunar nodes
6 of 30A birth date places these too, and they are not drawn in the grid above. The 1 inside one degree are in the tight layer; these 6 are the rest.

- John Lennon's Venus opposition Yoko Ono's North node
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
Mercury trine Mercury at 0.67 degrees is the tightest contact in this chart and the reason communication is the only category above the floor. A trine that close between two Mercuries describes thinking that arrives at the same place without either party having to explain the route. Sun trine Venus adds an easy warmth alongside it. On this scale the pairing reads as collaborative before it reads as romantic: the meeting point is the work of the mind.
Why they clash
Venus is the awkward planet here. It opposes both the other Sun and the other Mercury, and squares Mercury from the other side. So while the two minds meet easily, affection consistently arrives across a gap or at a hard angle. Identity, attraction, friction and values all sit at the floor of the scale. That combination, one very tight mental contact with nothing else registering, describes a pairing whose centre of gravity sits in shared thinking rather than in ease of feeling.
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 133.1° 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.
The reading
20 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 Yoko Ono astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 30 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.09° and 0.52°. 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 trine mean between two charts?
A trine puts two placements in easy relation, a flow that takes little effort to access. John Lennon and Yoko Ono have 11 trine contacts between them, more than any other type.
