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
Katy Perry’s Mars and Orlando Bloom’s Pluto are 0.23 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.

22 of the 35 contacts fall between Sun and Pluto, and all 22 are in the grid. A boxed cell is within one degree. The other 13 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.
Katy Perry inner ring, Orlando Bloom 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.

Within one degree
6 of 35The contacts closest to exact, whichever bodies they involve. 2 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.

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
Values scores highest here, and the aspects behind it run through Mercury: sextile to the other Mercury, trine to Venus, sextile to Mars. One chart's way of thinking reaches three separate points in the other at easy angles, which is a broad and cooperative signal. Mars conjunct Mars sits alongside it, describing two people whose pace and appetite for action are closely matched. Together those read as a pairing that agrees readily on what to do and when.
Why they clash
Friction is the second-highest category, and the Mars conjunction is doing double duty. Matched drive means no natural division of labour, so both push at once. Venus square Venus is the sharper note: affection and taste meeting at a hard angle, which tends to show up as disagreement about what is pleasant rather than about what is important. Communication scores lowest of the five, so the working alignment is not backed by an easy channel for discussing 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 80.7° 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 Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 35 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.23° and 0.34°. 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. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have 10 conjunction contacts between them, more than any other type.
