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
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom'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
Values scores highest here, and the aspects behind it run through Mercury: sextile to the other Mercury, trine to Venus, sextile to Mars. One chart's way of thinking reaches three separate points in the other at easy angles, which is a broad and cooperative signal. Mars conjunct Mars sits alongside it, describing two people whose pace and appetite for action are closely matched. Together those read as a pairing that agrees readily on what to do and when.
Why they clash
Friction is the second-highest category, and the Mars conjunction is doing double duty. Matched drive means no natural division of labour, so both push at once. Venus square Venus is the sharper note: affection and taste meeting at a hard angle, which tends to show up as disagreement about what is pleasant rather than about what is important. Communication scores lowest of the five, so the working alignment is not backed by an easy channel for discussing it.
What each system says
Twelve systems, two people
The Suns are 80.7° apart, outside orb of any aspect, which is why identity reads as an empty channel above.
Rat and Dragon are a trine, one of the four traditional alliance pairs.
Guna Milan: 20 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.
20 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.
