Note on this rating: Birth certificate (collector: Lois Rodden); corroborated across independent astrological data sites.
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
Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson'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 is the top category, carried by Venus trine Mercury at 0.79 degrees and a pair of reciprocal trines between Sun and Mercury. Mars conjunct Mars at 2.51 adds a matched pace, two people who move at the same speed and want to spend their energy similarly. Seven aspects makes this one of the denser charts here, and much of that density runs through easy angles.
Why they clash
Venus square Venus at 0.93 degrees is the tightest aspect present and the sharpest. Taste and affection meeting at a right angle inside a chart that otherwise agrees so broadly is a specific kind of friction: alignment on what matters, disagreement on how it should feel. Mars opposite Venus adds a second hard note. Friction scores high as a result, and identity and communication both rest at the floor.
What each system says
Twelve systems, two people
The Suns are 105.8° apart, outside orb of any aspect, which is why identity reads as an empty channel above.
Monkey and Monkey 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.
