The two charts, in brief
In Paulette Goddard's chart the Sun is in Gemini; in Burgess Meredith's chart the Sun is in Scorpio. Both charts have the Moon in Aries. Between them the charts make 13 close angles, 4 of them between personal planets, which with the shared signs give a sky match of 64 out of 100.
Paulette Goddard and Burgess Meredith married in 1944. The marriage ended in 1949. Paulette Goddard died in 1990. Burgess Meredith died in 1997.
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 Paulette and Burgess and to few other pairs. Angles to the Moon are left out where there is no birth time.
Paulette’s Mars trine Burgess’s Mercury
about 2.3° from exact
Burgess's Mercury and Paulette's Mars are at an easy angle, read as ideas that turn into action. What Burgess proposes, Paulette is inclined to start.
Paulette’s Mars trine Burgess’s Sun
about 2.8° from exact
Burgess's Sun and Paulette's Mars work at an easy angle. Paulette's drive is read as backing Burgess's aims instead of competing with them, the signature of two people who get things done together.
Paulette’s Sun opposition Burgess’s Venus
about 2.9° from exact
Paulette's Sun and Burgess's Venus meet at a hard angle. The attraction is read as real but uneven: what Burgess finds lovely is not always what Paulette is proudest of, and the two tastes have to be negotiated.
Paulette’s Mercury opposition Burgess’s Sun
about 6.3° from exact
Burgess's Sun and Paulette'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.
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.

4 more angles link slow planets in both charts. Those are shared by whole generations and are not read here.
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.
