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
Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor'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.

Why they click
Freddie Mercury's Venus reaches four different bodies in Taylor's chart: his Sun, his Mercury, his Venus and his Mars, which is every planet the engine tracks. The tightest of the four is the Venus to Venus sextile at a degree and a third, and it carries values to 47, the highest reading here.
Why they clash
Identity, communication and friction all return 30, meaning neither pair of Suns, Mercuries nor Marses makes an angle at all. Mercury's own Sun and his Mars sit outside every contact on the page. Six aspects between the charts, and all of them originate from just two of his four planets.
What each system says
Twelve systems, two people
The Suns are 39.1° apart, outside orb of any aspect, which is why identity reads as an empty channel above.
Dog and Ox 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.

Editorial note · Uranus square Sun

Frequently asked
Are Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 6 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.75° and 1.31°. 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 Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor 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. Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor have 2 sextile contacts between them, more than any other type.
