The interval between signs that are two steps apart in the Western zodiac, like Aquarius and Sagittarius, is called a Sextile. This complementary energy emphasizes relaxation, collaboration, and dependability.
Aquarius and Sagittarius, of course, are both great thinkers—Aquarius a universalist intellectual, Sagittarius a naturalist philosopher. There is a good chance that any discussion will quickly emerge as a free-flowing exchange of ideas, with each sign offering insights the other finds invaluable and enriching. Aquarius' Air element gives them an accepting and enthusiastic character, meaning Fire sign Sagittarius has the oxygen they need to surge forward, unrestricted and liberated. Meanwhile, Sagittarius' Fire naturally rouses Aquarius, giving them purpose, optimism, and excitement.
All forms of collaboration are strongly favored by this match. Aquarius has a Fixed modality, emphasizing productivity and real-world results, which forms a natural segue into Sagittarius' more reflective Mutable modality, with its instinctive concern for consequences and effects. Projects involving these two thus tend not only to exhibit intellectual or philosophical grandeur, but they are also likely to be realized successfully, and to maximize their farseeing potential.
If there is a downside to this match, it is that the breezy, relaxed energy between this pair can sometimes prove unreliable. In truth, this is less a reflection of the Aquarius/Sagittarius connection itself, and more the result of other combinations seeming more fervent or demanding. Sometimes friendship and camaraderie may seem more natural here than Romeo and Juliet-style devotion. More generally, it can be easy for these two to take their natural harmony for granted, and to prioritize more apparently urgent relationships. Whatever the context, however, it may prove advantageous in the long run to give this combination plenty of attention.
Ultimately, Aquarius and Sagittarius share an any-kind-of-weather dependability, and the great affinities between these signs can foster a lasting, warm, and deeply nourishing relationship.

Jamie Lee Curtis (11/22/1958, Sagittarius Dog), Christopher Guest (2/5/1948, Aquarius Pig) : The actor and director have been married for over 36 years and have two children together. Asked about the secret to their relationship, Curtis described: "Don't leave. There's a recovery phrase that says, 'Stay on the bus…the scenery will change.' You think you're having a bad week, but stay on the bus, because one of these days you'll look out the window and it'll be beautiful. I think it can apply to almost anything where you feel unhappy in that moment. I'm not a wild romantic. I'm a realist. I respect him. And I just don't leave."
Sarah Silverman (12/1/1970, Sagittarius Dog), Michael Sheen (2/5/1969, Aquarius Monkey) : The comedian and actor dated for four years before separating in 2017. Sheen described about their break-up: "After the Brexit vote, and the election where Trump became president, we both felt in different ways we wanted to get more involved...We both had very similar drives, and yet to act on those drives pulled us in different directions — because she is American and I’m Welsh. I felt a responsibility to do something, but it did mean coming back here [to the UK], which was difficult for us because we were very important to each other. But we both acknowledge that each of us had to do what we needed to do."
Frank Sinatra (12/12/1915, Sagittarius Rabbit), Mia Farrow (2/9/1945, Aquarius Monkey) : The legendary singer and actor were married between 1966 and 1968, and remained friends until Sinatra's death. Farrow has described Sinatra as "the great love of [her] life", and that she continued seeing him during her 13-year marriage to the director/actor Woody Allen: "[Sinatra] came back, over and over and over and over. I mean, we never really split up."
John Williams (2/8/1932, Aquarius Monkey), Steven Spielberg (12/18/1946, Sagittarius Dog) : The director and composer share perhaps the most famous artistic collaboration of modern history, spanning 50 years and 29 films to date. On first seeing Schindler's List, Williams remarked, "Steven, you need a better composer than I to score this film." To which Spielberg replied, "I know, but they’re all dead." In early 2023, Spielberg said: "In the art form that we’ve both chosen, [Williams] has been the most steadfast brother and collaborator that I’ve ever had in my life. And that’s how I would sum up how much I love [him]."
Jim Morrison (12/8/1943, Sagittarius Sheep), Ray Manzarek (2/12/1939, Aquarius Tiger) : The two musicians were college friends who founded The Doors. Speaking of the development of their music while still a duo at UCLA film school, Manzarek wrote in Light My Fire: My Life with The Doors: "Jim was coming up with more variations and permutations on his lyrics that required more and more invention on the keys from me. I loved it. He was exploding with ideas, and I was constantly pushing myself to try different and more imaginative chord changes…to support and embellish his poetry. We were definitely progressing. The Doors were on their way to creating an important body of work."
Tina Turner (11/26/1939, Sagittarius Rabbit), Erwin Bach (1/24/1956, Aquarius Sheep) : The legendary singer and music producer have been together since 1985 and married since 2013. After a famously toxic marriage to fellow musician Ike Turner, Tina Turner described meeting Bach as follows: "I could have ignored what I felt—I could have listened to the ghost voices in my head telling me that I didn’t look good that day, or that I shouldn't be thinking about romance because it never ends well. Instead, I listened to my heart. I left my comfort zone and made it a priority to get to know Erwin."

The theory of the Chinese zodiac depends primarily on the four Trine Families, similar to the elements in Western astrology. Truth be told, the families of the Dog (with the Horse and Tiger) and the Monkey (with the Dragon and Rat) are not thought of as especially harmonious. In fact there are some difficult matches among this group (e.g., the Dog and Dragon, or the Monkey and Tiger). The Dog and Monkey thus have to depend on their individual characters, rather than the blessings of mystical energy, to make their relationship work.
Happily these two have important values in common. The Dog prides themselves on supporting people and causes they believe are deserving. Given that the Monkey is known around the world for their genius talents and spirited energy, the Dog will tend to be impressed immediately. The Monkey aspires to great feats of imagination and ingenuity, so the Dog's devotion and capacity for hard work can be at once inspiring and grounding. Especially early in the relationship, these areas of compatibility may lead to considerable excitement. Over time, this connection may mature into real emotional depth. For all their gifts, the Monkey is prone to isolation, disappointment, or boredom. The Dog can be a trusted and dependable ally when the going is tough. The Dog, too, is more vulnerable to anxiety than they appear, and the Monkey's charms may prove to be a delightful and supportive distraction.
The tendency of both of these signs to experience depression or stress at times can be a source of tension between them as well. The Dog may be unsettled by the Monkey's rapid changes in mood. If the Monkey's patience is tested, they may look for amusement and inspiration elsewhere, which can make the Dog feel lonely and nervous. Contrasting moral outlooks may also be an issue. The Dog usually adheres to a quite rigid value system, where the Monkey's ethical instincts tend to be as fluid and creative as the rest of their personality. Hence the Dog may find the Monkey sometimes too fickle for comfort. Conversely, the Monkey might see the Dog from time to time as single or closed minded in their thinking. Navigating these challenges may be difficult from time to time, but in the right circumstances these two signs can agree so strongly about the "big picture" that their collaboration remains solid. In that case, this relationship may prove nourishing and effective, long into the future.

Anthony Bourdain (6/25/1956, Cancer Monkey), Roy Choi (2/24/1970, Pisces Dog) : The two celebrity chefs were close friends, with Choi appearing on episodes of Bourdain's series, The Layover (2011-2013), and Parts Unknown (2013-2018). Bourdain wrote about Choi for Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in 2016, "Chef, activist, film producer, restaurateur and author of a superb memoir, L.A. Son: My Life, My City, My Food, Roy Choi has put it all on the line to improve the quality of life for people few others seem to care about. It’s not a pose, it’s not a cause: it’s who he is." Choi described in 2013 about their first meeting, "[W]e connected mid-conversation like we knew each other from an alternate life."
Jennifer Flavin (8/14/1968, Leo Monkey), Sylvester Stallone (7/6/1946, Cancer Dog) : The actor and entrepreneur dated from 1988 to 1994, and later married in 1997. They have three children. In 1991, Stallone said, "When we come together, it is wonderful. When we are separate, there are no strings attached. That’s the way it is. No strings." He famously broke up with Flavin by letter in 1995. In 2021, Stallone described: "I’ve never had more fun. I learned that from my wife... It took me 19 years to realize she’s always right. I realized that women have a knack, at least Jennifer, for making incredibly erudite, wise, smart decisions. I always leap without looking. She always looks and never leaps. She’s incredibly safe. So now finally, I say: 'Honey, you make all the decisions. Done, done, done. I trust you.' I never had that before. Ever."
George Lucas (5/14/1944, Taurus Monkey), Steven Spielberg (12/18/1946, Sagittarius Dog) : The two film-makers are longtime friends and colleagues, who famously collaborated on the Indiana Jones movies. Lucas has described: "I showed [Star Wars] to all of my friends early on, but it was mostly filled with stock footage of old war movies and all kinds of stuff. They saw it and said, 'Poor George. What were you thinking?' Steven [Spielberg] had jumped up, and said, 'This is going to be the biggest movie of all time.' Everybody in the room looked up at Steven and said, ‘Poor Steven.'"
Andy Garcia (4/12/1956, Aries Monkey), Marivi Lorido Garcia (4/19/1958, Aries Dog) : The actor and film producer have been married since 1982 and have four children together. They became engaged before Garcia achieved his significant success as an actor. Garcia has spoken several times about how quickly they formed a strong bond. On one occasion he said, "It was love at first sight. I always knew I would marry [Marivi]." On another, he commented, "I proposed to her on the first date and she said yes."
Elizabeth Taylor (2/27/1932, Pisces Monkey), Shirley MacLaine (4/24/1934, Taurus Dog) : The two iconic actors were lifelong friends, who met in their early 20s. After Taylor died in 2011, Maclaine described: "In recent years, I would go up to Elizabeth's home all the time to make sure she was exercising or I would send someone else to make her get in the pool. She was not a fan of exercise, so most of the time we would end up taking out her jewellery and just looking at it in the sunlight...She was so much more down to earth than you would imagine. I miss her deep, deep humanity – something you don't find very often. And, of course, her humour. We wanted to make fun of the world together. Not to look down on it, though. We just watched."
Adrian Edmondson (1/24/1957, Aquarius Monkey), Jennifer Saunders (7/6/1958, Cancer Dog) : The two comedians/actors first met in a strip club. They have been married since 1985 and have three children together. Edmonson has recounted: "I tried to propose on horseback. Jennifer likes horses so I thought that would be a good idea. The only fault with the plan was that I can’t ride. I didn’t quite fall off, but I didn’t get round to proposing either, until we sat down to dinner."
Ariadna Gil (1/23/1969, Aquarius Monkey), Viggo Mortensen (10/20/1958, Libra Dog) : The two popular actors have famously avoided the limelight but became partners around 2008/2009. Both have children from previous marriages.
T.I. (9/25/1980, Libra Monkey), Lil Wayne (9/27/1982, Libra Dog) : The two rappers collaborated multiple times in the early 2000s, including on the "Swagger Like Us" remix with Kanye West, "We Takin Over" with DJ Khaled, and "Soldier" with Destiny’s Child. After a falling out around 2016, they reconciled to perform together at the Dreamville Festival in 2022. Lil Wayne told the audience, "[W]hen I pulled up, I heard the [expletive] King on stage when I pulled up. Shout out to the [expletive] King T.I. You already know what it is. That’s my real [expletive] brother right there. That’s my [expletive] daughter’s uncle; y’all don’t even understand, man."
