Oppositions almost everywhere, and a shared compass that holds anyway.

Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow compatibility

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 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.

The overlap
Two charts, laid over each other
Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow'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, Venus to Venus | OPPOSITION 0.95° |
| Thin line, Sun to Mercury | QUINCUNX 2.25° |
| House ring, not drawn | |
Why they click
Values score highest of the five categories here, and identity is close behind. The chart contact that carries it is Venus opposite Venus at under one degree, which is about as tight as this engine measures. An opposition is not a clash so much as a facing: two people standing at either end of the same axis, wanting the same thing from opposite positions. Sun opposite Sun repeats the pattern at the level of identity. Where a square would grind, an opposition tends to hold a couple in view of each other.
Why they clash
The two lowest categories are communication and attraction, and the aspect list explains why: almost every contact is an opposition or a quincunx, and there is very little that simply flows. Mercury opposes both Sun and Venus, so information travels across a gap rather than along a shared wavelength. The single trine, Venus to Mars, is the one place the chart offers ease. On this scale that reads as a bond built on alignment of purpose rather than on easy daily conversation.
What each system says
Twelve systems, two people
The Suns are 175.8° apart, close enough to feed the identity category above.
Dog 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 Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 7 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.95° and 2.25°. 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 Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow 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 opposition mean between two charts?
An opposition puts two placements directly across the chart, a pull between two poles that has to be balanced rather than resolved. Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow have 5 opposition contacts between them, more than any other type.
