Cross-aspects
Where the two charts actually touch
The overlap
Two charts, laid over each other
Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston's Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Moon are drawn here, along with the house ring and ascendant axis both charts support. This is a complete chart of what is known, not a partial chart of what is not.

Why they click
Venus sextile Mars at 0.03 degrees is effectively exact, the closest contact in this entire set of pairs. Venus and Mars in easy aspect describes attraction that flows rather than fights, and attraction is by far the highest category here as a result. Sun sextile Sun at 3.18 supports it with a compatible sense of identity, and Venus conjunct Mercury adds warmth to how one speaks to the other.
Why they clash
The reverse Venus-Mars contact is a square at 1.39 degrees, so the same pairing of planets runs easy in one direction and hard in the other. That asymmetry is worth noting: what feels effortless from one side meets resistance from the other. Identity sits slightly below the floor, and communication, friction and values all rest on it. Four aspects total, weighted almost entirely into one category.
What each system says
Twelve systems, two people
The Suns are 57.5° apart, close enough to feed the identity category above.
Rabbit and Monkey are in neither the trines nor the clashes.
Guna Milan: 18.5 of 36
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.
18.5 of 36 points
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.
