The two charts, in brief
In Clark Gable's chart the Sun is in Aquarius; in Carole Lombard's chart the Sun is in Libra. Between them the charts make 25 close angles, 7 of them between personal planets, which give a sky match of 72 out of 100.
Clark Gable and Carole Lombard married in 1939, and the marriage lasted until Carole Lombard's death in 1942. Clark Gable died in 1960.
The sky match counts the close angles between two charts, gives most weight to the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars, and adds a little for a shared Sun, Moon or rising sign. Where StarMap has no verified birth time the chart is cast for midday and the Moon's angles are not counted, so the figure is approximate. It says nothing about whether a relationship lasts.
Where their personal planets meet
Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars move quickly, so these angles belong to Clark and Carole and to few other pairs. Angles to the Moon are left out where there is no birth time.
Clark’s Sun trine Carole’s Sun
about 1.2° from exact
The two Suns stand at an easy angle, which is read as basic goodwill: Clark and Carole can each be fully themselves without the other feeling crowded. It is a quiet asset, and like most quiet assets it goes unnoticed until it is missing.
Clark’s Mars sextile Carole’s Mercury
about 1.7° from exact
Carole's Mercury and Clark's Mars are at an easy angle, read as ideas that turn into action. What Carole proposes, Clark is inclined to start.
Clark’s Moon square Carole’s Sun
about 2.3° from exact
Carole's Sun presses on Clark's Moon. That is read as one person's direction rubbing against the other's need for comfort, a pairing that has to say aloud what each of them needs instead of assuming it.
Clark’s Sun square Carole’s Mercury
about 3.5° from exact
Clark's Sun and Carole's Mercury are at cross angles, which astrologers read as a gap between what one person means and what the other hears. The remedy in the tradition is plain: say it twice, in different words.
Clark’s Mercury trine Carole’s Sun
about 6.3° from exact
Carole's Sun and Clark's Mercury are at an easy angle: Clark is read as following how Carole sees themselves and having useful things to say about it. It is the signature of two people who talk easily.
Clark’s Venus square Carole’s Sun
about 6.8° from exact
Carole's Sun and Clark's Venus meet at a hard angle. The attraction is read as real but uneven: what Clark finds lovely is not always what Carole is proudest of, and the two tastes have to be negotiated.
Clark’s Moon trine Carole’s Mercury
about 7.0° from exact
Clark's Moon and Carole's Mercury are at an easy angle, read as feelings that are simple to talk about. Carole is taken to listen in a way that Clark finds settling.
Personal planets and slow ones
One person's quick planet against the other's slow one. The slow planet's place is shared by everyone born around the same time; the meeting is particular to the pair.
Clark’s North Node square Carole’s Venus
about 0.8° from exact
Clark's North Node is at a hard angle to Carole's Venus, read as Carole's way of showing affection pulling across the path the Node describes for Clark.
Clark’s Neptune square Carole’s Mars
about 1.0° from exact
Clark's Neptune is at a hard angle to Carole's Mars, read as a blur: what Clark imagines about Carole's drive and what is there can differ.
Clark’s North Node sextile Carole’s Mars
about 1.4° from exact
Clark's North Node is at an easy angle to Carole's Mars, read as Carole's drive helping Clark along the path the Node describes.
Clark’s Neptune sextile Carole’s Venus
about 1.6° from exact
Clark's Neptune is at an easy angle to Carole's Venus, read as imagination shared: Clark is taken to lend Carole's way of showing affection some poetry.
Clark’s Moon conjunction Carole’s Neptune
about 1.7° from exact

Clark’s Saturn square Carole’s Sun
about 1.8° from exact
Clark's Saturn is at a hard angle to Carole's Sun. The tradition reads Clark as seeming to judge or slow Carole's sense of self, a contact it treats as demanding and durable.

Relationship data from Wikidata, stated as Wikidata records it. Birth dates and places from Wikidata; birth times, where StarMap has one, from Astro-Databank with their Rodden rating. Positions are computed with the astronomy-engine ephemeris and checked against Swiss Ephemeris. The readings describe what an angle is traditionally taken to mean and are written by StarMap for reflection and entertainment, not as statements about the two people’s private lives.
