Note on this rating: From memory/autobiography (collector: Lois Rodden); corroborated across independent astrological data sites.
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
Michael Jackson’s Mars and Prince’s Jupiter are 0.10 degrees from an exact quincunx.
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.

31 of the 47 contacts fall between Sun and Pluto, and all 31 are in the grid. A boxed cell is within one degree. The other 16 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.
Michael Jackson inner ring, Prince 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.
All 47 contacts, in four layers
Within one degree
8 of 47The 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
8 of 47Jupiter through Pluto on both sides. Born 3 months 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.

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
Venus sextiles Sun at 0.39 degrees and Sun trines Venus at 1.69, two tight soft contacts running in opposite directions between the same two planets. Each chart's warmth reaches the other's identity, which is a real and specific thing even in a synastry this quiet.
Why they clash
Three contacts in total, and every one of the five categories reads at the floor of 30. Sun squares Mercury at 2.05 degrees is the only hard angle. Two charts born under three months apart share a great deal of sky by default, and sharing sky is not the same as making contact.
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 79.5° 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
21 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 Michael Jackson and Prince astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 47 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.1° and 1.97°. 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. Michael Jackson and Prince have 13 conjunction contacts between them, more than any other type.
