Note on this rating: Birth date 1959-02-22 from Wikidata Q207506 (day precision) and the English Wikipedia article. Birth city Yakima, Washington from Wikidata P19. Birth time unknown, so Rodden X and the time is an estimate.
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
Laura Dern and Kyle MacLachlan'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
Mercury is the centre of this chart and it is busy. Mercury conjunct Mercury at 2.63 degrees, Mercury conjunct Sun at 4.38, Venus conjunct Mercury at 3.33. Three conjunctions converging on how these two think and speak, which is why communication scores far above every other category. Mars trine Sun adds an easy line between drive and identity underneath it.
Why they clash
Mercury square Mars at 2.14 is the counterweight: thinking meeting drive at a hard angle, inside a chart otherwise dominated by easy Mercury contacts. Mars quincunx Venus adds a note of permanent adjustment between drive and affection. Identity, friction and values all sit at the floor, so despite six aspects the engine finds real weight in one category only. The connection lives in the talking.
What each system says
Twelve systems, two people
The Suns are 12.4° apart, outside orb of any aspect, which is why identity reads as an empty channel above.
Goat 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.
25.5 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.

Frequently asked
Are Laura Dern and Kyle MacLachlan astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 6 cross-aspects, the tightest at 1.84° and 2.14°. 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.
What does conjunction mean between two charts?
A conjunction puts two placements at nearly the same degree, so their energies blend into one signal rather than two. Laura Dern and Kyle MacLachlan have 3 conjunction contacts between them, more than any other type.
