David Bowie and Iman compatibility: Capricorn and Leo
Married from 1992 until 2016
Sky match
75
out of 100
The two charts, in brief
In David Bowie's chart the Sun is in Capricorn; in Iman's chart the Sun is in Leo. Between them the charts make 22 close angles, 8 of them between personal planets, which give a sky match of 75 out of 100.
David Bowie and Iman married in 1992, and the marriage lasted until David Bowie's death in 2016.
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 David Bowie and Iman and to few other pairs. Angles to the Moon are left out where there is no birth time.
