The original source is unknown. No recorded verification, so houses and the rising sign are not shown.
Note on this rating: Rectified from an approximate time; treat the ascendant as uncertain.
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
Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung'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
Freud's Mars sextiles Jung's Sun at 0.06 degrees, about as close to exact as an aspect gets. His drive meets the younger man's identity at an easy angle: encouragement that arrives as recognition. Freud's Sun sextiles Jung's Venus at 1.17 and his Mercury at 2.56, so three separate soft contacts run from Freud's chart into Jung's. All four aspects in the pair are soft. Nothing here is abrasive.
Why they clash
For two men whose entire association was conversation, there is no Mercury to Mercury contact at all. No Sun to Sun either, no Venus to Venus, no Mars to Mars. Every category sits at or just under the no-contact baseline, and the highest, attraction at 28, is a wide Venus trine Mars that scores below the floor. The traffic is one-directional: Freud's planets reach Jung's, and almost nothing returns. A pairing with no hard aspects also has no structure for disagreement.
What each system says
Twelve systems, two people
The Suns are 77° apart, outside orb of any aspect, which is why identity reads as an empty channel above.
Dragon and Pig 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.

Moon, Ascendant and Midheaven contacts are not shown for Carl Jung, and no house is named — those depend on a birth time recorded to the minute, and this one is an estimate.
Editorial note · Pluto opposition Mars
Four days after their initial meeting, Pluto opposing Mars signaled an intense, catalytic collision of two formidable psychological wills.
Frequently asked
Are Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 4 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.06° and 1.17°. 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 Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung 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. Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung have 3 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.
