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

Mick Jagger’s Uranus and Keith Richards’s North node are 0.26 degrees from an exact sextile.

Sextile · Soft · orb 0.26° · tightest of 43 contacts

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.

30 of the 43 contacts fall between Sun and Pluto, and all 30 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.

Shared generation

Jupiter through Pluto on both sides. Born 4 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

Attraction reads 95, near the top of the scale. Every pairing of their personal planets crosses in both directions at once: Mercury and Venus, Venus and Mars, Mercury and Mars each meet from both sides. Venus sextiles Venus at 2.31 degrees on top of that, and Mars trines Mercury at 2.33. Seven contacts from four bodies is close to the maximum this engine can find.

Why they clash

The mutual contacts are not uniformly soft. Mercury squares Venus at 0.35 degrees, the tightest aspect in the pairing, while the return trip is a trine at 0.96. Mars opposes Venus at 0.95 and Venus squares Mars at 5.17. So the same two planets meet twice at opposite temperaments, easy one way and hard the other. Identity, communication and friction all read 30, which puts everything these charts have into the exchange itself.

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.

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

Varna0 of 1
Vashya1 of 2
Tara3 of 3
Yoni2 of 4
Graha Maitri0 of 5
Gana0 of 6
Bhakoot7 of 7
Nadi8 of 8

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 Mick Jagger and Keith Richards astrologically compatible?

Their charts make 43 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.26° and 0.35°. 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. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards have 15 conjunction contacts between them, more than any other type.
