Note on this rating: Birth certificate (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
Tom Hanks’s Uranus and Rita Wilson’s Saturn are 0.01 degrees from an exact trine.
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.

29 of the 40 contacts fall between Sun and Pluto, and all 29 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, 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.

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
Values is the top category, carried by Venus trine Mercury at 0.79 degrees and a pair of reciprocal trines between Sun and Mercury. Mars conjunct Mars at 2.51 adds a matched pace, two people who move at the same speed and want to spend their energy similarly. Seven aspects makes this one of the denser charts here, and much of that density runs through easy angles.
Why they clash
Venus square Venus at 0.93 degrees is the tightest aspect present and the sharpest. Taste and affection meeting at a right angle inside a chart that otherwise agrees so broadly is a specific kind of friction: alignment on what matters, disagreement on how it should feel. Mars opposite Venus adds a second hard note. Friction scores high as a result, and identity and communication both rest at the floor.
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 105.8° 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
25 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 Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 40 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.01° and 0.05°. 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. Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have 11 conjunction contacts between them, more than any other type.
