No birth time on record, so houses and the rising sign are not shown.
Note on this rating: Date and birthplace confirmed independently via Wikidata (P569/P19, precision to the day) and English Wikipedia. No reliable birth time is on public record, so none is asserted here.
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
Stan Laurel’s Mars and Oliver Hardy’s Saturn are 0.20 degrees from an exact sextile.
Neither birth time here is exact, so the Moon is not scored against anything and the ascendant axis and house ring are not drawn. Sun through Pluto move at most about two degrees in a day, so every contact below is the same whatever the time. This is the whole of what a birth date can place, not a sample of it.

35 of the 46 contacts fall between Sun and Pluto, and all 35 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, 1 of them in the tight layer.
A cell is a plain glyph. The aspect it names is a Codex Link in the sentences above.
Stan Laurel inner ring, Oliver Hardy 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.

Shared generation

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
This is close to the busiest cross-chart the engine can produce: ten aspects across four bodies, with every planet in each chart touching something in the other. Attraction reads 81 on Laurel's Mars squaring Hardy's Venus, and friction 79 on the two Marses meeting within four and a half degrees.
Why they clash
Volume is not the same as weight. Identity reads 22, values 24 and communication 39, all three on quincunxes, and the first two sit below the 30 the engine returns when it finds nothing at all. A quincunx allows only three degrees before it stops counting, so a contact two and a half degrees wide is nearly out of range even while it still shows on the page.
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 147.1° apart, close enough to feed the identity category 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.

Frequently asked
Are Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 46 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.2° and 0.22°. 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 Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy 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 quincunx mean between two charts?
A quincunx puts two placements at an awkward angle with no easy geometric relation, an adjustment rather than a flow or a clash. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy have 11 quincunx contacts between them, more than any other type.
