No birth time on record, so houses and the rising sign are not shown.
Note on this rating: Birth date 1965-08-13 from Wikidata Q3020857 (day precision). The English Wikipedia article gives no birth date, so this is a single-source date. Birth city Sacramento, California from Wikidata P19. Birth time unknown, so Rodden X and the time is an estimate.
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
Robert Downey Jr.’s North node and Deborah Falconer’s Saturn are 0.09 degrees from an exact square.
Deborah Falconer’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.

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
Three trines carry this chart. Mercury trine Sun at 0.65 degrees is the tightest and the clearest: one person's way of thinking meeting the other's identity with no resistance at all. Mercury trine Mercury at 3.41 extends that to how the two of them think generally, and Sun trine Sun adds a compatible basic temperament underneath. Communication is the only category that lifts off the floor.
Why they clash
Identity scores below the floor, the lowest reading in this corpus, despite the Sun trine, because at 5.8 degrees that contact is wide and carries little weight. Mercury also takes a quincunx from Venus and an opposition from Mars, so the same planet doing all the useful work is also absorbing all the strain. Attraction, friction and values sit at the floor with no Venus-to-Venus and no Mars-to-Mars contact anywhere.
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 125.8° apart, close enough to feed the identity category above.
Snake and Snake are in neither the trines nor the clashes.
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.

Frequently asked
Are Robert Downey Jr. and Deborah Falconer astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 55 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.09° and 0.82°. 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 Robert Downey Jr. and Deborah Falconer 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 square mean between two charts?
A square puts two placements at a right angle, generating friction that tends to force action. Robert Downey Jr. and Deborah Falconer have 12 square contacts between them, more than any other type.
