Paul McCartney and George Harrison compatibility

↓ Below: all 45 contacts named, with orbs

Birth data: DD

Sources conflict on the birth time. No recorded verification, so houses and the rising sign are not shown.

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

Paul McCartney’s Saturn and George Harrison’s Sun are 0.31 degrees from an exact square.

Square · Hard · orb 0.31° · tightest of 45 contacts

Paul McCartney’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

Paul McCartney ↓ × George Harrison →

38 of the 45 contacts fall between Sun and Pluto, and all 38 are in the grid. A boxed cell is within one degree. The other 7 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

11 of 45

Jupiter through Pluto on both sides. Born 8 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 trines Mars at 2.79 degrees and Mars trines Venus at 3.14, a matched pair of trines running both directions between the same two planets. Reciprocal contacts like these are the most balanced thing in this synastry, and they put attraction at 41 while the other categories stay flat.

Why they clash

Four of the six contacts involve one chart's Mars, including an opposition to Mercury at 7.42 degrees and a quincunx to Sun at 3. Sun also squares Venus at 3.04. With drive touching nearly everything and communication reading at the floor of 30, this is a pairing that moves before it discusses.

Frequently asked

Are Paul McCartney and George Harrison astrologically compatible?

Their charts make 45 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.31° and 0.31°. 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 Paul McCartney and George Harrison 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 sextile mean between two charts?

A sextile puts two placements in a supportive relation that usually needs some initiative to activate. Paul McCartney and George Harrison have 12 sextile contacts between them, more than any other type.
