Western Zodiac
Aries and Leo
Compatibility overview
This is simply a treasure of a match. Traditionally, the most compatible signs in the Western zodiac are the Trine combinations, four signs apart. One such pairing is that between the two Fire signs, Aries and Leo. Given favourable circumstances, this pair can share a rare bond, lighting the lives of each other and those around them with dazzling, majestic energy.
Aries and Leo - Relationship Horoscope
The combination of Aries and Leo is one of the most celebrated in the entire Western zodiac. Fire might accurately be described as an all-or-nothing element: either dwindling into wisps of smoke, or rising to a glorious blaze. Separately, Aries and Leo can sometimes feel as if they are too much for situations and people, as if they need to restrain themselves to avoid seeming overly bold or ambitious. What a joy it is for each of them to find a match where they can let themselves be free!
Together, these twin Fire signs are truly each other's equal. Aries' Cardinal modality contributes pure idealism and adventurism, the energy of any project in its earliest and most inspiring phase. Leo's complementary Fixed modality offers the steadying, mature influence necessary to translate the visionary aspects of the Fire element into tangible, real-world glories.
No relationship is without complexities, but a pairing between Aries and Leo is close as the Western zodiac provides to a guarantee of happiness, pleasure, and triumph.

But Steve and I made each other laugh, and we’re clowns, so that’s a big seductive element.

Stockton described in 2022: "I felt there was something magical. [Malone] read my mind. He caught everything. He finished everything. He had all my work ethic and then some. He loved the game. Just one thing after another. Just kind of bond, bond, bond, bond to where now he is literally inseparable for me as a brother...[T]here’s nothing I wouldn’t do for Karl Malone, and I think he feels the same way."

Chinese Zodiac
Dog and Dog
Compatibility overview
The combination of two souls born in the year of the Dog can be one of the best own-sign matches in the Chinese zodiac. The inevitable over-familiarity that arises between natives of the same sign means this connection probably won't be all smooth sailing. But the synergies between these devoted signs, especially their capacity and respect for work, provide a strong foundation for a lasting and successful relationship.
Dog and Dog - Relationship Horoscope
Own-sign matches in the Chinese zodiac necessarily involve members of the same Trine Family (like the elements in Western astrology). For the Dog (whose family also includes the Horse and Tiger), their family's binding energy is at once aspirational and honorable. This provides a relationship between Dog natives with a strong foundation from the beginning.
These two are likely to bond immediately over a shared sense of high ambition, and a conviction never to compromise their values. They will admire each other's plainspokenness, their talents for speaking and performing in front of an audience, and their impressive physical capabilities (for the Dog is usually a very physically-oriented sign). Perhaps the greatest synergy between two Dog natives is their instinctive support for underdog people and causes. Those born in this year can be strongly humanitarian in their instincts. Any group that is disenfranchised or discriminated against by the upper echelons of society can attract their earnest and committed support, and it would be no surprise for two Dog natives to unite in support of an activist or political cause.
A problem for all own-sign matches is that they can suffer from a lack of counterbalancing energy, which may give rise to a somewhat fatiguing sameness. Ironically, this can be an especially conspicuous problem for two Dog natives, precisely because the affinities between them are so strong. Of course, people the same age inevitably mix together, and Dog souls often enter very close relationships with one another when they are still young. Problems of over-familiarity can thus surface while they are relatively immature. Not all relationships recover, of course, but happily the Dog is very capable of applying their prodigious work ethic to resolving disputes or establishing a new regime. Many successful Dog/Dog relationships can thus have a phoenix-like quality of reconfiguration over time.
Whatever changes eventuate or patterns ultimately work best, this relationship can prove to be a true blessing for the parties themselves and their wider social circle, as the high ambitions of both Dog natives are translated into a shared and deeply fulfilling actuality.

Melania Trump (4/26/1970, Taurus Dog), Donald Trump (6/14/1946, Gemini Dog) : The 45th US President and First Lady married in 2005 and have one child. Speaking at the time of their engagement in 2004, Donald Trump said: "We're together five years, and these five years for whatever reasons have been my most successful. I have to imagine [Melania] had something to do with that."
Joanna Lumley (5/1/1946, Taurus Dog), Jennifer Saunders (7/6/1958, Cancer Dog) : The actor/comedian/screenwriter and actor/author/model formed a strong friendship, and showed memorable chemistry, when they collaborated on the TV show, Absolutely Fabulous (1992-2012). Saunders has said: "I think what happened was that we got on and we just had such a good laugh." Lumley has described: "[Saunders] spent more time shopping for cast presents than she did on rehearsing...[She is] [e]asily one of my favourite people of all time."
Judy Garland (6/10/1922, Gemini Dog), Liza Minnelli (3/12/1946, Pisces Dog) : The two actor/singers shared one of the most famous mother/daughter relationships in entertainment history. Minelli has described: "I remember Mama saying, 'Now don’t get upset because of the way they may compare you to me because you’re an entertainer too.' I said, 'Oh, I won’t.' And then she reads something where they compared me to her. She said, 'How dare they? You’re your own woman. Dammit! Can’t they see?' And she’d throw it down in the trash. She was wonderful and so overprotective. She tried saving us from any of the stuff that other people said, except the great stuff."
Gary Oldman (3/21/1958, Aries Dog), David Bowie (1/8/1947, Capricorn Dog) : The legendary musician and acclaimed actor were friends for over 25 years. In 1995, they recorded a duet of Bowie’s song, "You’ve Been Around", and in 2013, Oldman appeared in a controversial video for Bowie's single, "The Next Day". Oldman described in 2014: "We got on really well. [Bowie] comes from the same part of the world as I do. I didn’t want anything from him, he didn’t want anything from me...I see him less as 'David Bowie' and more as Dave from Brixton and I’m Gary from New Cross. I was a fan of his music and I still am. We’re just mates."
Susan Sarandon (10/4/1946, Libra Dog), Tim Robbins (10/16/1958, Libra Dog) : The two actors were romantic partners from 1988 until 2009, and had two children. The pair were much admired for the durability of their relationship as high-profile celebrities, especially given the 12-year age difference, and for their activism to promote liberal progressive views. Sarandon said during their time together: "I won't marry because I am too afraid of taking [Robbins] for granted or him taking me for granted – maybe it will be a good excuse for a party when I am 80."
Kate Bush (7/30/1958, Leo Dog), David Gilmour (3/6/1946, Pisces Dog) : The two musicians shared a close connection early in Bush's singing career, when the Pink Floyd guitarist discovered Bush as a fifteen-year-old. Gilmour has described: "[Bush's] unusual vocal style and sound, I thought it was unlikely that record companies, A&R people would get it...So, after some various tryouts, I decided to employ a full studio in London...I chose two or three songs out of about 50 that she had, and I didn’t spend a long time choosing, I just sort of thought we’ll have one nice slow one, one sort of medium temperature, one like this… we’ll do those to releasable level so that they weren’t demos, so that they were actually properly ready-to-go tracks. I thought that was the best way to take her to the record companies to convince them."
Lil Wayne (9/27/1982, Libra Dog), Nicki Minaj (12/8/1982, Sagittarius Dog) : The two rap legends share a longstanding close and mentoring friendship. Wayne is credited with having discovered Minaj, after he signed her to his Young Money Entertainment label early in her career. Minaj has described: "Because [Wayne] works so [expletive] hard, he shows me that no matter how hot you think you are, you can’t stop. You have to keep that chokehold on the game because there’s always somebody itching and ready to take your spot. He works like it’s his first day on the job and I love that about him."
