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
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards'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
Attraction reads 95, near the top of the scale. Every pairing of their personal planets crosses in both directions at once: Mercury and Venus, Venus and Mars, Mercury and Mars each meet from both sides. Venus sextiles Venus at 2.31 degrees on top of that, and Mars trines Mercury at 2.33. Seven contacts from four bodies is close to the maximum this engine can find.
Why they clash
The mutual contacts are not uniformly soft. Mercury squares Venus at 0.35 degrees, the tightest aspect in the pairing, while the return trip is a trine at 0.96. Mars opposes Venus at 0.95 and Venus squares Mars at 5.17. So the same two planets meet twice at opposite temperaments, easy one way and hard the other. Identity, communication and friction all read 30, which puts everything these charts have into the exchange itself.
What each system says
Twelve systems, two people
The Suns are 143.2° apart, outside orb of any aspect, which is why identity reads as an empty channel above.
Goat and Goat are in neither the trines nor the clashes.
Guna Milan: 21 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.
21 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.

Shared life events
Jagger and Richards meet again on Dartford railway station
The two had been at primary school together in Dartford and lost touch. They met again on platform two, where Richards noticed the Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters records Jagger was carrying. The conversation that followed led to the band.Source ↗
