Sources conflict on the birth time. No recorded verification, so houses and the rising sign are not shown.
Note on this rating: Birth time 05:26, Rodden DD (conflicting or unverified sources) via astrotheme.com (John_Mayer). Treat houses and angles as unavailable; read planets and aspects only.
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 Mayer’s North node and Taylor Swift’s Chiron are 0.20 degrees from an exact square.
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.

22 of the 37 contacts fall between Sun and Pluto, and all 22 are in the grid. A boxed cell is within one degree. The other 15 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 Mayer inner ring, Taylor Swift 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.

7 of 37The contacts closest to exact, whichever bodies they involve. 4 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

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
This is the smoothest aspect list of the set. Sun sextile Sun at 1.38 degrees, Mercury sextile Sun at 0.44, Venus trine Venus, Venus sextile Mars, Mars trine Mars at 1.5. Five of the six contacts are soft angles, and several are tight. Attraction scores highest of the five categories, with Venus trine Venus and Venus sextile Mars both feeding it. On this scale that reads as a pairing where liking each other required very little effort from either side.
Why they clash
Mars opposite Venus is the one hard contact, and at 6.63 degrees it is the widest aspect on the board, so it carries less weight than the tight sextiles around it. Friction still lands mid-scale, which suggests the drive of one meeting the affection of the other is where whatever tension exists collects. Communication sits at the floor with no Mercury-to-Mercury contact at all. Easy chemistry, and no particular channel for talking about it.
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 58.6° 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.

Frequently asked
Are John Mayer and Taylor Swift astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 37 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.2° and 0.41°. 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 John Mayer and Taylor Swift 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 trine mean between two charts?
A trine puts two placements in easy relation, a flow that takes little effort to access. John Mayer and Taylor Swift have 10 trine contacts between them, more than any other type.
