The overlap

Two charts, laid over each other

John Lennon and George Harrison'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

John's Mercury trines George's Sun at 3.08 degrees, the softest contact in the pair and the one that lets the older man's phrasing land as recognition rather than correction. Communication and attraction are both live categories here, scoring 91 and 83, which is unusually engaged for a reading drawn from four bodies. Whatever passes between these two charts passes strongly. The connection is not faint in any direction.

Why they clash

Mercury squares Mercury at 1.34 degrees, near enough to exact to be a permanent feature of how they talk: two verbal styles at right angles, neither able to soften the other. John's Venus opposes George's Sun at 2.26 and his Mars opposes George's Venus at 3.33, so desire and taste face off across the chart as well. Add John's Sun square George's Mars. Four hard aspects, and identity itself has no direct channel at all.

Guna Milan: 23.5 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.

23.5 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.
