Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love married in 1992, and the marriage lasted until Kurt Cobain's death in 1994.
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 Kurt and Courtney and to few other pairs. Angles to the Moon are left out where there is no birth time.
