Compatibility overview
Fortune smiles on this happy, relaxed combination. Western signs that are two steps apart, as firstwest and secondwest are, bring together truly harmonious energy. There may be limits to how far this combination goes—think teammates more often than soulmates—but this match should not be underestimated. With little rivalry, and a meaningful and dependable trust, this can be a special connection indeed.

Aries and Gemini natives will likely find themselves laughing along together in no time. This match rarely involves extremes, positive or negative. Instead, it represents a secure haven for warmth, humour, and gentle affection. Geminis usually find the energy and idealism of Aries to be genuinely fascinating, while Aries are encouraged and excited by Gemini's infectious enthusiasm.
The respective elements at play here—the Air of Gemini and Fire of Aries—blend harmoniously together. Moreover, the raw energy of Aries' Cardinal modality is beautifully counterbalanced by the contemplative Mutable quality of Gemini. The result is a pairing as efficient as it is enjoyable. Indeed, these two are often amazed by their own productivity together, given how pleasurably time races by.
If there is a qualification, this relationship is perhaps a little too easily taken for granted. With little tension to resolve or heart-pounding urgency, either or both parties may find they shy away from exclusive closeness or commitment. Fortunately, disagreements here are usually resolved quickly. Above all, sympathetic trust is what typifies this energy match, and all manner of family, professional or intimate relationships are likely to prove nourishing and rewarding.

Jackie Chan (4/7/1954, Aries Horse), Maggie Q (5/22/1979, Gemini Sheep) : Actress Maggie Q, star of the action film The Protégé, has been described as a real-life protégé of martial arts and movie legend Jackie Chan. Said Q in 2021, "Observing him and the way he earned not only his career, but his place at the table in Hollywood, was very inspiring. Obviously, he has unique skills. But in addition to that, he’s the hardest-working man I know. For him, it’s never really enough. He’s always striving for excellence."
Nancy McKeon (4/4/1966, Aries Horse), Michael J. Fox (6/9/1961, Gemini Ox) : The actors dated for three years after they met in 1983. "He and I were very private people," McKeon has said. "We didn't tell a lot of people and we kind of kept to ourselves."
Warren Beatty (3/30/1937, Aries Ox), Annette Bening (5/29/1958, Gemini Dog) : For much of his life, Beatty was one of the world's most famous bachelors, but he and Bening have now been married since 1992. Beatty has described: "It didn’t really surprise me. I always felt I wasn’t trying to avoid marriage, I was trying to avoid divorce. I had no doubt when I met Annette that it was time to get married."
Claire Danes (4/12/1979, Aries Sheep), Hugh Dancy (6/19/1975, Gemini Rabbit) : The actors have been married for 12 years and have two children together. Danes described in 2012: "I like marriage. I feel very secure. It helps when you are in love with the person you are married to. I do sometimes look at [Dancy] and think: 'You are really handsome.' He keeps me sane and happy."
Kourtney Kardashian (4/18/1979, Aries Sheep), Scott Disick (5/26/1983, Gemini Pig) : The two media personalities and stars of Keeping Up With the Kardashians were involved in an on-off romantic relationship from 2006 to 2015 and have three children together. Disick said in 2019: "Just because [our children's] mother and I couldn’t make it as a perfect, romantic couple shouldn’t have anything to do with the kids. They don’t deserve our mistakes, so we figured out a way. We still need to be as honest and as good to each other as if we were together. Let’s raise these children together and that’s it."
Eddie Murphy (4/3/1961, Aries Ox), Paige Butcher (6/10/1979, Gemini Sheep) : The comedian/actor and actor have been together since 2012. They have two children together. About maintaining her privacy, Butcher has said: "I’m in a relationship with a celebrity, so I felt like there’s already enough of me out there. I felt like I was giving out too much information [before quitting social media]. I was giving people too much access. I like to keep as much private as possible now."
Herbie Hancock (4/12/1940, Aries Dragon), Miles Davis (5/26/1926, Gemini Tiger) : The two musicians famously collaborated in the late 1960s, when Hancock formed part of what has been called Davis' "Second Great Quintet". Hancock has described: "[Davis] said [hoarse, Miles-ish whisper]: 'I don’t pay you to just play to get applause.' He told us he paid us to experiment on stage. He said: 'I want you to try new things, brand new stuff.' And I told him, some of it’s maybe not going to work, so what about the audience then? He said: 'Don’t worry about it. I got the audience.' He loved being challenged, being stimulated, being thrown a curveball. It’s like playing baseball: he was the homerun king, ready to strike any ball and send it over the stands."

Compatibility overview
In the often polarized teachings of Eastern astrology, the match between the firsteast and secondeast is not usually classified as either very positive or very negative. While the profound differences between these two can cause some destabilizing tensions, there are also some important synergies, capable of yielding a rewarding and happy relationship.

In contrast to Western astrology, the Eastern zodiac often tends towards extremes of positivity or negativity. The combination of Dragon and Sheep, however, exists outside traditional notions of the best and worst matches.
It is true that these signs' respective Trine Families (like the elements in Western astrology)—which for the Dragon includes the Rat and Monkey, and for the Sheep the Rabbit and Pig—are not thought of as particularly harmonious. Indeed, there are some potentially disturbing combinations in this matrix (e.g., Sheep and Rat, or Dragon and Rabbit). There are, however, important affinities between Dragon and Sheep that can help them to build a successful relationship. First and foremost, the Dragon loves the limelight, while the Sheep is an artist to their bones. Hence there can be a natural synergy between the Sheep's comfortable command of abstract ideas and the Dragon's incredible talents for actualization. Also, when Sheep natives are at ease, they are quite capable of being the life of a party, and can revel in displaying their wit and charm. These talents play right into the Dragon's wheelhouse. Expect a Sheep and Dragon pairing to entertain like champions!
It must be said that there is potential for at least occasional tension. Dragon natives are typically larger than life at every hour of the day, and their instinctive methods tend towards brazen assertiveness and high-energy outbursts. The Sheep, on the other hand, can be fretful even in relatively weak cross-currents. Hence in this combination the Sheep may at times be completely overwhelmed, and the Dragon could find themselves vacillating between being overbearing and guilt-ridden. Successful partnerships may be able to offset these risks, however, through their mutual admiration, and by developing clear strategies to foster belonging and security.
In often radically different ways, these signs are both capable of pure brilliance in their chosen fields. By carving out independent spaces where they are comfortable growing in their own distinctive ways, the Dragon and Sheep may be able to unite for periods of great happiness and entertainment.

Reese Witherspoon (3/22/1976, Aries Dragon), Nicole Kidman (6/20/1967, Gemini Sheep) : The two actors are friends who co-starred in the successful series, Big Little Lies (2017-2019). Presenting Kidman with the Tribute Actress Award at the Gotham Awards in 2017, Witherspoon described: "[L]ast year, you guys, I was really lucky. I got the chance to work with [Kidman], finally. I managed also to coerce my line producer to make sure I was in the same makeup trailer with her at all times while she was getting ready so I could ask her anything I wanted to. She was captive for two hours and I asked her a lot of questions...I’ve worked in Hollywood for 25 years and I’ve never seen anyone transform so completely [into their role]...She gives you her whole heart, her whole soul, her whole body. Every side of a character. The light, the dark. She’s unwaveringly passionate. She gives of herself. She stands up for what she believes in and she pushes the envelope with every single role she takes. So there it is, now you know it. She’s a magician."
Carlos Moyá (8/27/1976, Virgo Dragon), Carolina Cerezuela (1/14/1980, Capricorn Sheep) : The professonal tennis player and Spanish actor married in 2011 and have three children together. Cerezuela has described: "For me, the success and wealth of my life has been having what I have always wanted, my family, and being able to dedicate myself to them...[Moya] is achieving wonderful professional successes, but he will tell you that his greatest achievement is always personal. He is very jealous of his privacy, very simple, you will never see him wanting to stand out or acknowledging merit. [translated from Spanish]"
Carice van Houten (9/5/1976, Virgo Dragon), Guy Pearce (10/5/1967, Libra Sheep) : The two actors have been in a relationship since around 2015. They have one child. The couple have avoided discussing their relationship publicly, but in 2016, Pearce posted photos of himself with van Houten and their child, with the caption: "Finally a nice quiet stroll out in the world."
James Coburn (8/31/1928, Virgo Dragon), Paula Murad Coburn (10/31/1955, Scorpio Sheep) : The two actors were married from 1993 until his death in 2002. Together they established the James and Paula Coburn Foundation, dedicated to improving the community through music, art and education. Speaking about their five-storey home in Beverley Hills, California, US, the designer Craig Wright said: "The house is a stage set. It's about their friends and the things they've found on their travels. It's the theater of their life."
Colin Farrell (5/31/1976, Gemini Dragon), Brendan Gleeson (3/29/1955, Aries Sheep) : The two Irish actors became good friends after they co-starred in the film, In Bruges (2008). They later collaborated in The Banshees of Inisherin (2022), with both being nominated for Academy Awards. In a joint interview, Farrell described about their first meeting: "I was sober about a year and a half or something like that...[Gleeson] said, 'Will you have a drink?’… and he went to a mini bar that looked like it hadn’t worked since the ‘50s and he opened it up and he pulled out two bottles of water and he went: ‘I have still or sparkling’. I swear to God, it was the sweetest thing. In that moment, the simplicity of that gesture told me, 'There’s a man that will look after you. There’s a man that will take care of you, there’s a man that considers people'." Gleeson said, "I’ve known a lot of kind men in my life, I’ve been lucky about that. My father was a kind man, and I knew kind friends who were there for you. I don’t find it odd but I knew immediately with [Farrell]. That’s why the friendship lasted. He’s somebody who considers people to an extraordinary degree."
Colin Friels (9/25/1952, Libra Dragon), Judy Davis (4/23/1955, Taurus Sheep) : The two Australian actors have been married since 1984 and have two children together. In 2018, Friels said, "I don't like to be sycophantic, but Judy's wonderful. She's great company, the best friend I've ever had. I love Jude. She's a bewdy."
Herbie Hancock (4/12/1940, Aries Dragon), Joni Mitchell (11/7/1943, Scorpio Sheep) : The two musicians are friends who collaborated on Mitchell's albums, Mingus (1979), and Both Sides Now (2000). Hancock's tribute album, River: The Joni Letters (2007), which comprised mostly Mitchell's compositions and to which she also contributed as a singer, was a surprise winner of the Grammy for Album of the Year in 2008. Mitchell described about their shared background: "We have the same problem from two different approaches. [Hancock] was going too far into pop and I was going too far into jazz. They accused him of commercialism and me like if you do that we're going to lose sales. [With the River album,] I guess Herbie found this challenging to do my music. Harmonically it's wide like jazz, so you got a lot of freedom for choice of notes ... but it's not within the laws of jazz." Hancock said: "[Mitchell] has the courage to express what she really feels and believes in. She's not afraid to openly voice her viewpoint on the crises of the era ... and she does it in such a beautiful and imaginative way. ... And so as a humanitarian, Joni Mitchell really reflects her belief in the dignity of human life and its relationship to our environment."
Courtney Love (7/9/1964, Cancer Dragon), Kurt Cobain (2/20/1967, Pisces Sheep) : The two celebrated rock musicians were famously married for almost two years before Cobain died in 1994. They had one child. In a 1992 interview, Love described: "[Cobain] thought I was too demanding, attention-wise. He thought I was obnoxious. I had to go out of my way to impress him."

Final Words
The Sextile connection between firstwest and secondwest is perhaps the most uniquely joyful and low-maintenance in the Western zodiac, offering both any-kind-of-weather reliability and belly-laughs in spades.

Overall, this is an energy matrix that bodes well for trustworthiness and humor, accentuating the highs, and smoothing quickly over the lows.
