Despite the many differences, a key synergy between the Western and Chinese zodiacs is the prized role of Trine combinations. In both systems, signs that are four steps apart are considered especially fortunate. One of the the Trine matches most revered in Western astrology is that between Aries and Sagittarius.

These are two Fire signs, an element which gives this pairing extremely passionate and dynamic energy. Aries' enthusiasm and ambition, combined with their pure-hearted idealism, will usually hold a visceral appeal for the wise and dedicated Sagittarius. Sagittarius' depth of vision and philosophical outlook will similarly resonate with Aries, filling them with a sense of freedom and possibility. The compatibility here exists on a fundamental, existential plane. Aries is, after all, the most child-like of all the signs, where Sagittarius emphasises a beyond-human conception of harmony between all living things. Thus, while these two can amuse each other no end, and will likely enjoy any kind of intimate attention, the essence of their connection is more abstract or spiritual than physical.

These two signs are natural collaborators. Aries' Cardinal modality is always beginning, always in the process of invention, while Sagittarius is a Mutable sign, ever reflecting on effects, consequences, and implications. This balance helps these signs work together effortlessly on any project, ensuring that shared outcomes reflect their compatible essential values. The difficulties they face elsewhere may also be less obtrusive with each other. Sagittarius tends to be very understanding of Aries' furious intensity and obliviousness to risk, while Aries is usually unperturbed by Sagittarius' potential to be overbearing or to overcommit themselves.

No relationship is perfect, and sometimes easy relationships are hard to prioritize over difficult ones—as the saying goes, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. In the right circumstances, however, the Aries/Sagittarius match can be a true gem, providing nourishment and dependability capable of lasting a lifetime.

Leslie Mann and Judd Apatow

Leslie Mann (3/26/1972, Aries Rat), Judd Apatow (12/6/1967, Sagittarius Sheep) : Actor Mann and film-maker/actor Apatow have been married since 1997, and have two children. They are frequent collaborators, and have worked together on films including, The Cable Guy (1996), The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005), Knocked Up (2007), Funny People (2009), This is 40 (2012), and The Bubble (2022). In 2013, Apatow described: "We like working together. We probably get along much better than one would assume during the creative process. What makes [our marriage] work is we’re always trying to do better and understand each other. We’re both complicated people, but we want it to work and we love each other."

David E. Kelley (4/4/1956, Aries Monkey), Mandy Patinkin (11/30/1952, Sagittarius Dragon) : The actor and writer/producer collaborated on the award-winning TV series Chicago Hope. Speaking about his decision to return after initially leaving in the second season, Patinkin said: "I love my relationship with [Kelley] and the things that he says and the moral tales that he puts forth in the scripts. And the way he uses [Patinkin's character] Geiger as a voice for that learning of morality and in some cases the teaching of morality...I love living my day putting in front of my face and in front of my eyes songs and words that mean something to me and that are the kinds of ideas that I want in front of my face. And that's what David writes and that's what the character, I feel, both learns and delivers. So that's why I wanted to come back — it's a character I love."

Bruce Lee and Linda Lee Cadwell

Linda Lee Cadwell (3/21/1945, Aries Rooster), Bruce Lee (11/27/1940, Sagittarius Dragon) : The martial arts legend/actor and author were married from 1964 to 1973 and had two children. In Cadwell's bestseller, Bruce Lee: The Man Only I Knew, she wrote about their first date: "I was totally captivated by his magnetism and the energy which flowed from him; yet I cannot honestly say that I abruptly fell in love with Bruce that very night…the whole relationship was a gradual and maturing process which continued right through our whole marriage. Bruce used to say, 'Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.'"

Ewan McGregor (3/31/1971, Aries Pig), Mary Elizabeth Winstead (11/28/1984, Sagittarius Rat) : The actors worked together on Fargo and began a relationship. They have a child born in 2021. Speaking about Winstead joining the Star Wars universe in Ahsoka, Macgregor (who has played the character Obi Wan Kenobi multiple times) described: "She doesn't need any advice from me, but it was kind of cool that when it came up and she was starting to think about it — we thought it was amazing to both be in this world together … It's something that will [always] be with us. It's not something that ever goes away."

Fred Armisen and Natasha Lyonne

Natasha Lyonne (4/4/1979, Aries Sheep), Fred Armisen (12/4/1966, Sagittarius Horse) : The two actors were a couple from 2014 until 2022. About their break-up, Lyon described in characteristic wry style: "I had been living [in LA] with Fred [Armisen] and during COVID I honestly think we broke up because I wanted a swimming pool. We love each other just about as much as two people can love each other and we’re still talking all the time, but Freddy doesn’t like a swimming pool. It might seem like a mundane reason for a breakup, but during that pandemic, you’ve got to get your laps."

Anita Pallenberg (4/6/1942, Aries Horse), Keith Richards (12/18/1943, Sagittarius Sheep) : The musician/founding member of The Rolling Stones and actor were a couple throughout the 1970s and had three children together. After the intensity and excesses of their partnership, they continued a supportive friendship until Pallenberg's death in 2017. Richards has described how Pallenberg transformed his confidence and helped shape his iconic style: "Anita had a huge influence on the style of the times. She could put anything together and look good. I would wake up and put on what was lying around. Sometimes it was mine, and sometimes it was the old lady's, but we were exactly the same size, so it didn't matter."

Jake Gyllenhaal and Reece Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon (3/22/1976, Aries Dragon), Jake Gyllenhaal (12/19/1980, Sagittarius Monkey) : The two superstar actors had a relationship between 2007 and 2009. Witherspoon described at the time how the couple spent their weekends at her farmhouse outside Los Angeles: "We have chickens and we grow cucumbers and tomatoes. Jake's a great cook, he does a lot." Gyllenhaal said later: "[Witherspoon] is, as I would say about most of the women who I'm close friends with or had relationships in my life, one of the smartest, strongest, people I've ever met."

Compatibility according to the Chinese zodiac depends first and foremost on the four Trine Families. As well as the Trine matches themselves, each sign has a cherished Soulmate match, comprised of a member of their kindred family. The Tiger (whose family consists of the Dog and Horse) and Pig (whose family is made up of the Rabbit and Sheep) share such this Soulmate energy.

The key to understanding Soulmate energy is that each sign has a particular sensitivity and admiration for the most authentic qualities of the other. Even across a crowded room, the Pig will often pick up on the majestic impulses of the Tiger, typically at once humanitarian and ambitious. The Tiger is equally apt to notice the Pig's infinite generosity and often underestimated, yet potentially prodigious, intellectual and physical capabilities. There is also a distinctly affirming and protective quality to this heartfelt match. The Tiger may feel as if it is their natural-born responsibility to shield the Pig from their tendencies towards naivety and over-indulgence. The Pig—who usually brings a beautifully selfless quality to most of their relationships—is often perfectly attuned to, and comfortable guarding against, the Tiger's predisposition towards risk-taking or over-committing themselves. Perhaps most important of all is the simple joy that these two can share, delighting in each other's company, and taking greater pleasure in the other's happiness than their own.

Of course, Soulmate energy is no free ride. The connection between the Pig and Tiger tends to demand commitment and respect. Even in professional settings, both parties could wind up bruised, even deeply hurt, if for whatever reason the other sign is unwilling or unable to match their admiration or devotion. Other relationships, with perhaps less abundant potential, may ultimately prove more resistant to competing priorities or disappointment.

However, if these two can carve out the space they need to work closely together, or to explore and care for each other as intimates, the sky really is the limit for this wonderful pairing.

Bernie Taupin and Elton John

Bernie Taupin (5/22/1950, Gemini Tiger), Elton John (3/25/1947, Aries Pig) : Acclaimed singer/songwriter Elton and lyricist Taupin have shared a 50-year songwriting collaboration that is one of the most successful partnerships of all time. Taupin described in 2019: "When we started it out it was really just me and him...I’d like to think I’ve been someone who can’t be ruffled by the insanity of [Elton's] career—and that I’ve always been there as the soft pillow to fall on in times of need...If we’ve weathered the storm now for over 50 years and have been able to maintain this extraordinary bond with each other, I don’t think there’s anything on god’s green earth that could separate us now."

Stephanie Allynne (9/19/1986, Virgo Tiger), Tig Notaro (3/24/1971, Aries Pig) : Comedian Notaro and actor Allynne married in 2015. They have two children, twins born in 2016. Allynne described in 2015: "I had not dated women before, and I think when we first started spending time with each other, I was so into Tig and I was falling in love with her and I didn't know how to identify it because I thought I was straight. I kept gravitating toward her and wanting to spend time with her, and then in the process of recognizing that in myself, I was like, 'Oh my god, I am fully in love with this person.' It kind of blew my mind in terms of sexual orientation, where you're like, 'I'm this way, and it's black-and-white.' I look back and go, 'God, I closed the door that I had no idea what was behind it.'"

Sofia Coppola and Bill Murray

Bill Murray (9/21/1950, Virgo Tiger), Sofia Coppola (5/14/1971, Taurus Pig) : The director and actor have collaborated multiple times, including the films, Lost in Translation (2003)—for which they both received Academy Award nominations—A Very Murray Christmas (2015), and On the Rocks (2020). Speaking about Lost in Translation, Coppola described: "It was about when you have a connection with someone. You never know. When you encounter someone you can instantly be hit by a look or a sense of humor. It was something that’s romantic without a sexual or real relationship. It does not mean he could actually be with you, but you could still have something of that bittersweet aspect. It’s the best way to connect with someone...[Murray's] so smart. He got what that character was looking for. We didn’t talk about it. He showed up and knew the tone of it. He found it as we went. He just got it. I feel a connection with him, in that he understands what I’m trying to do."

John Slattery (8/13/1962, Leo Tiger), Talia Balsam (3/5/1959, Pisces Pig) : The two actors have been married since 1998, and have one child. They played husband and wife, Roger and Mona Sterling, in the series, Mad Men (2007-2015), and also appeared together in the film, Return (2011). Slattery described in 2019, "I just found the right person, you know, I lucked out. I guess marry someone you like. We get along well, we always have, and I guess being in show business, some people say it’s difficult. I don’t know. We understand the rhythms of this life, which aren’t easy sometimes and there’s insecurity. You’re not sure where you’re going to be. So I don’t know. I got lucky."

Emma Thompson and Emilia Clarke

Emilia Clarke (10/23/1986, Scorpio Tiger), Emma Thompson (4/15/1959, Aries Pig) : The two actors formed a close friendship when they collaborated on the film, Last Christmas (2019), which was co-written by Thompson. Clarke described: "I remember just looking at [Thompson] and being like, 'Just let me know if I mess it up.' She was like, 'What!' Gets me in this huge hug, and is like, 'I’ll do nothing of the sort. You’re going to be fine.' That was the dynamic from there on out. She just supported us in [this] magical way. I hadn’t met her before [the film] but I had been pretty obsessed with her my whole life. When I met her, she exceeded all of my expectations...I’ve had the good fortune of going to visit her and [her husband] Greg’s house in Scotland. They love a good sauna. You jump into their stream, you get freezing cold, and then you jump back in the sauna, and then get back in the stream. It was me, Emma, and Greg in the nude in a sauna, jumping back and forth and shrieking…it was a dream."

Jeff Garlin (6/5/1962, Gemini Tiger), Larry David (7/2/1947, Cancer Pig) : The two comedians have famously become close friends through their collaboration on the show, Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000-present). Garlin described in 2011: "We discovered our connection during the audition process for the initial Curb special, and it felt instantly like we'd worked together our entire lives. I don't know why we have this relationship, but we do. Maybe we were slaves together in an earlier life. And in Curb Your Enthusiasm we were doing what we did and not having a clue whether people would get it or like it. The fact that it's gone on to be a big success, I am shocked. Because it truly was something that was organic, that we did to make ourselves laugh."

Tony Bennett and Amy Winehouse

Tony Bennett (8/3/1926, Leo Tiger), Amy Winehouse (9/14/1983, Virgo Pig) : The two singers collaborated on the song, "Body and Soul", from Bennett's Grammy-winning album, Duets II (2011). The song was Bennett's first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for 45 years, and proved to be Winehouse's last recording. In Bennett's autobiography, Just Getting Started (2016), he wrote: "Should I have told [Winehouse] that I'd contended a little bit with [drugs and alcohol] myself and knew how you can fall into a bad cycle, but I also knew that you could bring yourself back? Would it have made a difference if someone she considered an idol had said to her something like, 'You're my idol. You are a once-in-a-lifetime talent. Please don't take that from the world.' [Maybe I should have said: ] Walk away from it all, if you like. Just live. Please."
