Trine matches are often said to be the Universe's favorites, the most propitious blend of similarity and difference there can be. Aquarius and Libra are both Air signs, so they share a natural inclination towards conceptual and social matters.
Early conversations are likely to be delightfully convivial. Air signs can be somewhat fickle or acerbic when stressed, but these two kindred spirits should be able to steer effortlessly away from any hints of unpleasantness. Libra's patient judiciousness and wide-eyed enthusiasm are likely to appeal immediately to the intellectual Aquarius. Meanwhile, Aquarius' concern for universal truths will resonate deeply with Libra's lifelong quest to improve their self-knowledge and decision-making. Given an opportunity to grow together, however, these two may discover that the tantalizing possibilities of early meetings were if anything an underestimate of their true potential.
Air signs are accustomed to finding social interaction relatively easy. Yet the modalities here are beautifully aligned. The Cardinal energy of Libra represents the Air element at its most pure, and this eager intellectualism forms a natural complement to Aquarius' Fixed energy, with its focus on achieving real and lasting wisdom. Traits that can cause problems in other contexts, such as the unorthodoxy of Aquarius or the irrepressibility of Libra, will in this relationship not merely be tolerated but hugely appreciated. Indeed, these compatible souls may come to feel as if with each other they can truly be themselves, their connection growing ever stronger the more they surrender to vulnerability and intimacy.
Whatever the context, and whether for brief or enduring periods of time, this connection offers to enrich both parties' lives long into the future.

Olivia Newton-John (9/26/1948, Libra Rat), John Travolta (2/18/1954, Aquarius Horse) : The two actors displayed legendary on-screen chemistry in Grease and developed a lasting friendship. Asked about why they did not become involved romantically, Newton-John explained, "I think it was good, because I think it kept the tension there and the chemistry. It might have been a real disaster had we decided to date, or we had a falling out or something. So, I think it was just as well that it didn’t happen. But we’re still great friends." Travolta has revealed that he advocated for Newton-John to be cast in the role, saying, "There was only one person on this planet I could see as Sandy, and that person was Olivia Newton-John. I told the producers."
Jason Alexander (9/23/1959, Libra Pig), Daena E. Title (2/14/1957, Aquarius Rooster) : The actor and actor/artist have been married since 1981 and have two children together. Alexander has described their courtship, saying, "I had $1000 to my name and for our first date, I wasn’t sure what she would want to do, so I took out all the money from my bank account." They moved in together three weeks later.
Felicia Farr (10/4/1932, Libra Monkey), Jack Lemmon (2/8/1925, Aquarius Ox) : The two actors from Hollywood's Golden Age were married from 1962 until Lemmon's death in 2001. Quoted in Michael Freedland's biography, Jack Lemmon, Lemmon described: "Before I met [Felicia], I never got angry. I was all bottled up, constricted, emotionally. She opened me up. For the first time in my life I could get violently mad and I could feel an attraction that I had never felt for any human being. She is so alive, so open to everything. She drew me out of myself. She made me care—about poverty, about politics, about the rotten air we breathe."
Sacha Baron Cohen (10/13/1971, Libra Pig), Isla Fisher (2/3/1976, Aquarius Dragon) : The actor and actor/comedian were together from around 2001 until 2023. They married in 2010 and have three children. Fisher has described: "Maybe I'm sick and twisted, but I tend to find [Cohen] really funny. He always surprises me in the best possible way. I'm proud of him for taking risks and putting himself out there as an artist. I think once we start censoring everything, well, what will there be left to look forward to?"
Snoop Dogg (10/20/1971, Libra Pig), Dr. Dre (2/18/1965, Aquarius Snake) : The two rappers share a close friendship. They famously collaborated on Dre's debut solo album, The Chronic (1992), which proved to be a catalyst for both of their later successes. Dre described in 2018: "Back in the day, Snoop came to me at a very low point in my life. I had no money for food. I didn't even have furniture in my house...Snoop is always there for me, ready to work, and constantly motivating and pushing me and making me believe I could do it. I mean, I could always hear his voice in my head...I cannot imagine where I'd be in my life if I had not collaborated with Snoop...[We] became family...We always show up for each other no matter what that is. Just imagine having a person like that in your life for almost 30 years."
John Mayer (10/16/1977, Libra Snake), Jennifer Aniston (2/11/1969, Aquarius Monkey) : The actor and musician formed a high-profile couple during the late 2000s and have continued to speak fondly about each other. Aniston has described, "It’s funny when you hit a place in a relationship and you both realise, we maybe need to do something else, but you still really, really love each other. It’s painful...I deeply, deeply care about him; we talk, we adore one another. And that’s where it is." Mayer asked an interviewer, "Have you ever loved somebody, loved her completely, but had to end the relationship for life reasons?"

The essential concept underlying the entire Chinese zodiac is that of the four Trine Families. The Monkey and Dragon, along with their comrade-in-arms the Rat, form one of these special families, making this one of the most auspicious combinations there is.
Here the unifying energy is all about creativity, eagerness, and expressiveness. The Monkey's fabled ingenuity meets a natural kindred spirit in the glorious showmanship of the Dragon. This match is conducive to all kinds of inventiveness and performance, from the inception of brilliant ideas to dazzling actualizations. Just as important as outward achievements, though, is the calming reassurance this pairing can provide for one another. In their own ways, each of these signs is something of a high-wire act—relentlessly capable and captivating, but with potentially greater intensity than calmer or more down-to-earth temperaments are ready for. This relationship can therefore provide a haven, a liberation from the boredom, isolation, or fretfulness that may destabilize these two signs in other contexts.
For many Dragon/Monkey pairings, the only real danger is that the connection between them might feel too easy to be worthy of their prodigious talents. Hopefully the successes they share together provide sufficient reassurance that they have found a rare partnership, worthy of cherishing and protecting, offering a lifetime of delight and security.

Courteney Cox (6/15/1964, Gemini Dragon), Jennifer Aniston (2/11/1969, Aquarius Monkey) : The Friends co-stars developed a close real-life friendship. Aniston, who is godmother to Cox's daughter, has described: "There's absolutely no judgement in Court. You'll never feel scolded. She's extremely fair, ridiculously loyal and fiercely loving. I've slept in her guest bedroom a lot. Without giving away too much of my private stuff, all I can say is she's been there for me through thick and thin."
Emma Stone (11/6/1988, Scorpio Dragon), Ryan Gosling (11/12/1980, Scorpio Monkey) : The two actors share a close friendship, which has produced memorable on-screen chemistry in the films, Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011), Gangsta Squad (2013), and La La Land (2016). Stone has described: "I can't even imagine what my life would be without Ryan. He's so special. It makes me emotional. He's so talented but he's such a great person to work with because he's so collaborative and excited about the process. He's taught me a lot about being really generous." Gosling has said similarly, "It's impossible to describe. [Stone's] everything, all the time. There's nobody like her...Show me someone that wouldn't give it all up for Emma Stone, and I'll show you a liar."
Joseph Campbell (3/26/1904, Aries Dragon), George Lucas (5/14/1944, Taurus Monkey) : The Star Wars director memorably described the mythologist and author of The Hero With a Thousand Faces as "my Yoda", because of Campbell's influence on the story's characterization and structure.

Kirk Douglas (12/9/1916, Sagittarius Dragon), Michael Douglas (9/25/1944, Libra Monkey) : The two actors share one of the most famous father/son relationships in Hollywood history. They appeared together in the film, It Runs in the Family (2003). They faced challenges in their relationship, as when Michael Douglas, as producer, decided against casting his father in the lead role in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975). However, Michael's career was strongly influenced by his father.Kirk once said, "I kept telling [Michael] he should play a villain. So finally he did, in Wall Street, and when he did that wonderful, horrible greed speech, I just [beamed]!" When Kirk died at age 103, Michael said: "To the world, he was a legend, an actor from the golden age of movies who lived well into his golden years, a humanitarian whose commitment to justice and the causes he believed in set a standard for all of us to aspire to. But to me and my brothers Joel and Peter he was simply Dad."
Tracy Chapman (3/30/1964, Aries Dragon), Alice Walker (2/9/1944, Aquarius Monkey) : The author and musician had a two-year affair in the 1990s. Asked why they had kept the relationship quiet, Walker said in 2006: "It was quiet to you maybe but that's because you didn't live in our area [laughing]...My life is not to be somebody else's impact - you know what I mean? And it was delicious and lovely and wonderful and I totally enjoyed it and I was completely in love with her but it was not anybody's business but ours."
Dan Aykroyd (7/1/1952, Cancer Dragon), Carrie Fisher (10/21/1956, Libra Monkey) : The two actors had a love affair and lived together in 1980. After Fisher's death in 2016, Aykroyd wrote: "I gave Carrie a sapphire ring and subsequently in the romance she gave me a Donald Roller Wilson oil painting of a monkey in a blue dress next to a tiny floating pencil, which I kept for years until it began to frighten my children...[She] would say things like:...'You have a jawline, hold your chin up otherwise you look like a tuna.' From then on I would identify myself on the phone as Tuna Neck."
