Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak compatibility

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
Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak'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.
| Thin line, Mercury to Mercury | QUINCUNX 0.39° |
| Thick line, Mars to Mars | OPPOSITION 1.51° |

Why they click
Values read 86 and attraction 66. Sun trines Mars at 5.15 degrees, the one easy angle in the synastry, and Mercury reaches Mercury at 0.39, the tightest contact here by a wide margin. Seven contacts drawn from four bodies is close to the maximum the engine can find, and the overall reading of 66 is earned on that volume rather than on any single aspect.
Why they clash
All three same-planet contacts are hard ones. Mars opposes Mars at 1.51 degrees, Venus opposes Venus at 2.88, and Mercury meets Mercury at a quincunx of 0.39. Friction reads 92, the strongest single category in the pairing and near the top of the scale. Two charts can face each other on every axis they hold in common and still be doing the same work, which is what a high score measures here: how much contact there is, not how comfortable it is.
What each system says
Twelve systems, two people
The Suns are 162.7° apart, outside orb of any aspect, which is why identity reads as an empty channel above.
Goat and Tiger are in neither the trines nor the clashes.
Guna Milan: 25 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.
25 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 history
Shared life events
Apple founded
Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne established Apple Computer as a partnership. Wozniak had designed the Apple I and demonstrated it at the Homebrew Computer Club; Jobs proposed selling it as a finished board rather than as plans.Source ↗

Frequently asked
Are Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak astrologically compatible?
Their charts make 7 cross-aspects, the tightest at 0.39° and 1.51°. 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 opposition mean between two charts?
An opposition puts two placements directly across the chart, a pull between two poles that has to be balanced rather than resolved. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak have 3 opposition contacts between them, more than any other type.
Tight contact, mixed valence

This page compares Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars, because those are the four that a birth date alone can place. The synastry calculator runs all ten bodies against each other.
