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 Jupiter and Taylor Swift’s Jupiter are 0.14 degrees from an exact opposition.

Opposition · Hard · orb 0.14° · tightest of 37 contacts

Taylor Swift’s birth time is not exact, so the Moon is not scored and the ascendant axis and house ring are not drawn for either chart. Sun through Pluto move at most about two degrees in a day, so every contact below is the same whatever the time.

Sun through Pluto, one chart on each axis

Katy Perry ↓ × Taylor Swift →

26 of the 37 contacts fall between Sun and Pluto, and all 26 are in the grid. A boxed cell is within one degree. The other 11 contacts involve Chiron and the lunar nodes and are listed below, 3 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, Taylor Swift outer ring, with the contacts inside one degree drawn. 6 of them are between Sun and Pluto; the rest involve bodies that are not on either ring.

Within one degree

9 of 37

The contacts closest to exact, whichever bodies they involve. 3 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

7 of 37

Jupiter through Pluto on both sides. Born 5 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.

  • Katy Perry's Mercury square Taylor Swift's North node5.97° · Hard
  • Katy Perry's Jupiter opposition Taylor Swift's Chiron7.23° · Hard

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 sextiles Mercury at 3.46 degrees and Mars conjoins Mercury at 5.88. Both are wide, and both are the only supportive structure available. Communication reads 25, which sits below the engine's no-contact floor even though a real Mercury contact is present.

Why they clash

Sun squares Venus at 0.57 degrees, the tightest contact in the synastry and the one hard angle in it. Three contacts total and an overall reading of 29, which sits below the floor of 30 that the engine returns when it detects nothing at all. What it finds here is precision without breadth.

What each system says

Frequently asked

Are Katy Perry and Taylor Swift astrologically compatible?

Their charts make 37 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.14° and 0.17°. 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 Katy Perry 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 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 Taylor Swift have 11 conjunction contacts between them, more than any other type.
