Famous couples, scored: a compatibility study of 20 pairs

Original Kismana data · updated July 11, 2026

We computed the Kismana harmony score — a 0–100 blend of BaZi element fit, pillar stability, role dynamics, and numerology alignment — for 20 well-known public couples, from their public birth dates alone. Scores range from 58 to 84 (average 70). The headline finding is deliberately deflating: a high score does not predict who stays together. Structural ease is not the same as love, or longevity.

Highlighted bars score 80+. Every score is computed from public birth dates — no birth times used.

• The score doesn't pick the survivors. Kurt Cobain & Courtney Love scored a high 83 and still ended; Barack & Michelle Obama sit at 82 after decades. Structural harmony ≠ outcome.
• Most pairs cluster in the 60s–70s (average 70/100). Extreme scores in either direction are rare — most relationships are neither effortless nor doomed on paper.
• Stability is where couples differ most — a 16-point spread across the set, the widest of the four subscores. It's the axis that most separates an easy pairing from a high-maintenance one.

If a compatibility score could predict whether a couple stays together, the famous ones — endlessly documented — would be where you'd see it. You don't. Pairs with textbook-high structural harmony have split; pairs carrying real friction have lasted a lifetime. That's not a flaw in the math — it's the honest limit of what any chart can do.

So read the score for what it actually is: a map of where a relationship flows and where it grinds. A high score marks the parts that come easily. A low one marks the fault lines worth naming early — a known one is far easier to navigate than a surprise. What you build on that map is the part no birth date decides. Curious where your own pairing falls? It takes two birth dates to find out.
