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
Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham'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
Sun trines Sun, wide at 4.78 degrees but the only same-body contact the pair has. It reads as a shared basic register: similar instincts about how to occupy a room, similar pacing. Stevie's Sun also trines Lindsey's Mercury, so his way of putting things sits easily with how she sees herself. Both links are soft and both are loose. The easy part of this pairing is the part that never needed discussing.
Why they clash
Stevie's Venus squares Lindsey's Sun at 0.22 degrees and his Mercury at 0.70, two hard angles close enough to exact that they behave like fixed features rather than passing tension. What she values sits at a right angle both to who he is and to how he talks. Because there is no Venus to Venus contact and no Mars to Mars contact, nothing offsets it: the squares have no counterweight in shared taste or shared drive, and every category except identity floors at the baseline.
What each system says
Twelve systems, two people
The Suns are 124.8° apart, close enough to feed the identity category above.
Rat and Ox are in neither the trines nor the clashes.
Guna Milan: 16.5 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.
16.5 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.

Exact, and all soft
Read the relationship as one chart
This page compares Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars, because those are the four that a birth date alone can place. With no hard contact between the two, a composite chart, the midpoint of both, often reads clean.
