When Capricorn and Aries find themselves paired together, peace and tranquility may be far from anyone's mind! This is a whirlwind combination, where even mundane subjects can provoke intense debate.
On the face of it, there is little favourable about this energy. Capricorn's solid Earth element is generally hard to reconcile with Aries' more ephemeral Fire. Further, these are both Cardinal signs, so each is accustomed to being the initiator of any project—there is no mixing of modalities, which can be more naturally conducive to teamwork. As a result, Capricorn's patience and capacity for hard work may strike Aries as boring, even stifling. Conversely, Aries' brand of ambitious idealism could seem wild and profligate to the usually steady Capricorn.
However, while the unsettling edge of this relationship can initially make the parties annoyed, even angry, it can just as easily manifest as a kind of mystified admiration or sexual attraction. In fact, the most likely effect is a combination of bewilderment and chemistry. Over time, the ambiguous character of this match may prove its greatest strength. Capricorn and Aries are both, in radically different ways, famously capable of achievement, and of securing and wielding power.
The watchword for Square relationships like this is growth. If these two can learn to accommodate their contrasting instincts and channel them for mutual gain, then it would be unwise to bet against them achieving, indeed exceeding, any goal they set their minds to.

Brad Hall (3/21/1958, Aries Dog), Julia Louis-Dreyfus (1/13/1961, Capricorn Rat) : The two actors have been married since 1987 and have two children. Describing how they worked together on the short film, Picture Paris (2012), Louis-Dreyfus said: "The reality is that we really collaborate on everything. And we have worked with each other a number of times in the past, but this was particularly elevating and thrilling because we were calling the shots. We both felt like we were back in Chicago doing theater — like we were 25 or 30 years ago. We were our bosses then, and if he was happy and I was happy, we’d move on together. This had a very indie feeling and I loved it. It was a very exhilarating experience."
Jim Parsons (3/24/1973, Aries Ox), Todd Spiewak (1/19/1977, Capricorn Dragon) : The actor and producer have been in a romantic partnership for around 20 years, and also run a production company together. For years the prospect of them marrying was a topic of talk show and press speculation, and in 2014 Parsons posted a statement denying a report in The National Enquirer that the two were engaged. They eventually married in 2017. Speaking about the relationship, Parsons described in 2013: "I've never considered my relationship with Todd to be an act of activism. Rather simply, it's an act of love, coffee in the morning, going to work, washing the clothes, taking the dogs [out] — a regular life, boring love."
Emma Thompson (4/15/1959, Aries Pig), Anthony Hopkins (12/31/1937, Capricorn Ox) : The two British actors are good friends who have collaborated multiple times, including in the films, Remains of the Day (1993), Howard's End (1992), and King Lear (2018). Thompson described in 2018: "I’m fearless now. I was doing King Lear with Tony Hopkins and he said, 'Isn’t it great? I can do absolutely anything now.' That’s how I feel...[Hopkins] watches and listens and he’s completely without defenses or any internal systems that might get in the way. He’s not protecting himself. You know that you can do anything and what will come back from him has nothing to do with the actor and everything to do with the part. He’s remarkable in that way."
Eddie Murphy (4/3/1961, Aries Ox), Nicole Mitchell Murphy (1/5/1968, Capricorn Sheep) : The actor/comedian and model were married from 1993 to 2006 and have five children together. They began their relationship in the late 1980s, although separated briefly in 1990, during which time Eddie Murphy fathered a child with casting director Tamara Hood.
Elton John (3/25/1947, Aries Pig), Rod Stewart (1/10/1945, Capricorn Monkey) : The two celebrated UK singers have shared a famously contrary relationship, going back to Stewart's cover of the Elton/Bernie Taupin song, 'Country Comfort' in 1970, about which Elton said: "[Stewart] couldn’t have got further from the original if he’d sung 'The Camptown Races'!" During the 1980s, Elton playfully shot down a blimp promoting a forthcoming tour by Stewart. In 2019, things turned more serious for a time, after Stewart accused Elton's farewell tour of "money-grabbing". Stewart later explained: "I was a bit spiteful when he announced his tour. I regret it, I really do regret it. So we’re mates again now. I do love him. We’ve always been fierce enemies, as you know, through the years, but it’s always been at a playful level. But we had the worst row, like a married couple. It went on forever."
Mackenzie Scott (4/7/1970, Aries Dog), Jeff Bezos (1/12/1964, Capricorn Rabbit) : The author and Amazon founder were married from 1993 to 2019 and had four children together. Shortly after they announced their separation, it emerged that Bezos had been the victim of an extortion attempt about an affair with Lauren Sanchez, a former news anchor. In the 1990s, Bezos and Scott shared adjacent offices at a hedge fund office in New York, before Bezos developed his idea to sell books over the internet, and the couple moved to Seattle. Scott described in 2013: "I have no business sense whatsoever, but I saw how excited [Bezos] was...Jeff is the opposite of me. He likes to meet people. He’s a very social guy. Cocktail parties for me can be nerve-racking. The brevity of conversations, the number of them—it’s not my sweet spot."

The essential structure of the Chinese zodiac builds on the four Trine Families. While each sign enjoys very favourable energy with members of their own family, they also have a special Soulmate connection with one sign from their kindred Trine Family. It is this enchanting Soulmate energy that unites the Dog and Rabbit.
The special affinity between these signs can be expected to reveal itself quickly. The Dog prides themselves above all on their values, their sense of right and wrong, and their appreciation for all that is deserving and beautiful. The Rabbit's brand of sensitive idealism, with their gift for aesthetic expression, thus shoots straight to the Dog's heart. On the other hand, the Rabbit can be easily disturbed by drama, showiness, or guile. The plainspoken, trustworthy directness of the Dog will be putting the Rabbit at ease before either has said a word.
Hence this combination is naturally conducive to respect and intimacy from the beginning. As the relationship grows, the potential for supportiveness and mutual progress is virtually unlimited. The Dog's usually forthright persona masks a surprisingly anxious interior life, which the Rabbit's gentle energy soothes, directly and indirectly, whenever they are around. This liberates the Dog to do what they do best—apply their near-infinite capacity for hard work and commitment to the causes that are most important to them. For the Rabbit's part, in other company they may be too overawed or intimidated to fulfil their talents. But the Dog's earnestness and belief in them can provide all the self-confidence they need to prosper.
These two will need to be mindful that their Soulmate energy is something of a high-wire act. It may be enticing and dependable in small doses, but it needs time and dedication to maintain in an enduring close relationship. Conflicting allegiances or distractions can cause real heartbreak here. However, whatever the context, if both parties are able to invest in the relationship appropriately, the instinctive tenderness and admiration that characterizes the Dog/Rabbit pairing can produce one of the Chinese zodiac's most special bonds, as delightful as it is inspirational and productive.

Johnny Depp (6/9/1963, Gemini Rabbit), Tim Burton (8/25/1958, Virgo Dog) : The actor and director are long term collaborators who have made films together for over three decades, including Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Alice in Wonderland, and Sleepy Hollow. Reflecting on their relationship, Burton has said, "You don't get that many times in your life where you just connect with somebody and it's really simple...it's just there."
Harley Quinn Smith (6/26/1999, Cancer Rabbit), Kevin Smith (8/2/1970, Leo Dog) : The director and actor/podcaster are a famous father/daughter duo who also collaborate together. The proud dad has told reporters, "[Harley] is amazing...we've been writing together which is so much fun because that's make pretend, right? So you get to play again, which is a rare gift for a parent now." Harley has also described how they work together: "It's crazy because he'll say something and I'll finish a sentence and then he'll be like, 'Yes! Or I'll say something that he's thinking and he'll be like, 'high-five!' And that's it, we're just good creative partners because we have the same brain."
Samira Wiley (4/15/1987, Aries Rabbit), Lauren Morelli (7/22/1982, Cancer Dog) : The actor and writer married in 2017 and have one child together. They first met on the set of Orange is the New Black, while Morelli was married to a man. Wiley described the early development of their relationship in 2018, saying, "I remember those first months with her, trying to figure out her journey with her own sexuality. Feeling like she picked me as the person she was going to talk to about all of it. And it wasn’t sexual, it was just like a friend. There was something deeply intimate about that, whether there was sexual tension there or not. The deep intimacy of being two people talking about the core of who we are. Talking about our journeys."
Andrew Ridgeley (1/26/1963, Aquarius Rabbit), George Michael (6/25/1963, Cancer Rabbit) : The two musicians were schoolboy friends who, as the pop duo Wham!, achieved massive success together. They remained friends after Michael embarked on a solo career. In Ridgeley's memoir, Wham! George Michael and Me, he described how Michael was plagued by self-doubt during the recording of what became the platinum-selling solo album Faith, and Ridgeley gave him this advice: "If he were to stand any chance of finding happiness, he would have to fulfill his talent. He didn’t have a choice. The only thing for him to do next was claim his place as the greatest singer-songwriter of his generation."
Pattie Mallette (4/2/1975, Aries Rabbit), Justin Bieber (3/1/1994, Pisces Dog) : The celebrated musician was born when his mother was 18 and raised by her as a single parent. Mallette later described the troubles of her youth and how she and Bieber achieved success in a memoir, Nowhere but Up: The Story of Justin Bieber's Mom. After a period of separation during a difficult time for the young superstar, they have reconnected. Bieber has explained, "I was distant because I was ashamed. I never wanted my mom to be disappointed in me and I knew she was....She's an amazing woman and I love her." Mallette has posted on social media, "I'm so proud of the amazing young man you are, and the young man you are becoming. None of us are perfect and never will be...I admire your character and integrity. You are maturing beautifully and wise beyond your years."
Conan O'Brien (4/18/1963, Aries Rabbit), Sarah Silverman (12/1/1970, Sagittarius Dog) : This late show host and comedian have played an important role in their respective careers. Reflecting on when they first sat down for an on-air interview 28 years earlier when Silverman was just 22-years-old and starting out, Silverman told O'Brien, "I love your show so much. I do. I love it so much. I mean, the first time I ever was recognized on the street was from your show. Because you’d always have me on. I’ve been on your show for so many years. I grew up on your show. I honestly feel like my whole death reel could just be clips from your show [and] I’d be happy.” O’Brien jokingly responded, "I say aim higher."
Frank Sinatra (12/12/1915, Sagittarius Rabbit), Ava Gardner (12/24/1922, Capricorn Dog) : The legendary musican/actor and actor were married for 6 years but their relationship spanned decades, and they remained friends until Gardner's death in 1990. Sinatra reportedly always kept a photo of Gardner taped to his dressing room mirrors, and a friend of Gardner has claimed that the actress had told her "that she never loved another man as much as she loved Frank."

Final Words
firstwest and secondwest share a sometimes harsh Square connection. Chances are, disagreements will occur frequently, and be stubbornly difficult to resolve. Yet this confrontational energy can be an almost unparalleled source of personal growth and self-knowledge. In this pairing, the potential benefits of the Square may prove especially accessible—the prized Soulmate connection of firsteast and secondeast offers almost infinite scope for nourishment and closeness. Soulmate energy is demanding, so these two will need to give each other plenty of attention to avoid the Square energy on the Western side taking over and causing bickering or resentment. But if these two are sufficiently available for one another, the riches could be incalculable.
