This page compares Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars, the four placements a birth date alone can place. Moon, Ascendant and Midheaven are left out here by design, not by omission, so nothing on this page is scored against a birth time it cannot trust.
Cross-aspects
Where the two charts actually touch
The overlap
Two charts, laid over each other
Beyoncé and JAY-Z's Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars are drawn here, the four placements a birth date alone can place with no birth time required. This is a complete chart of what is known, not a partial chart of what is not.
| Thick line, Sun to Sun | SQUARE 0.57° |
| Thin line, Venus to Mars | TRINE 0.73° |
| House ring, not drawn | |
Why they click
Venus does most of the work here and does it in both directions: Venus trine Mars at 0.73 degrees, Mars trine Venus at 2.43, Venus sextile Mercury at 0.96, Mercury sextile Venus at 3.78. Affection reaching drive and thinking from each side, all at soft angles. Attraction scores second highest of the five. What that describes is a mutual warmth that flows rather than one person carrying it.
Why they clash
Identity is the top category, and it rests on Sun square Sun at 0.57 degrees. A square that tight between two Suns is a permanent charge: two people who cannot be indifferent to each other and cannot easily merge either. Communication, friction and values all sit at the floor, with no Mercury-to-Mercury contact at all. The chart concentrates almost everything into personal charge and mutual affection, and registers very little elsewhere.
What each system says
Twelve systems, two people
The Suns are 89.4° apart, close enough to feed the identity category above.
Rooster and Rooster 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.
Guna Milan needs an exact birth time for both people. The Moon changes nakshatra roughly once a day, so an estimated time can place the whole reading in the wrong one, and at least one birth time here isn't exact.

Frequently asked
Are Beyoncé and JAY-Z astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 5 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.57° and 0.73°. 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 Beyoncé and JAY-Z 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. Beyoncé and JAY-Z have 2 sextile contacts between them, more than any other type.

Read the relationship as one chart
This page compares Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars, because those are the four that a birth date alone can place. With no hard contact between the two, a composite chart, the midpoint of both, often reads clean.
