Compatibility overview

A fiery match, if ever there was one! There are some terrific possibilities here, with so much similar energy at play. All own-sign matches, however, are faced with the over-abundance versus deficit conundrum. This challenge can be keenly felt when two Aries join together, owing to the great potency and sometimes temperamental nature of this sign.

In the Western zodiac, two natives of the same sign always share the same element, which in the case of Aries is Fire. A shared element is always an important gift for a relationship, because it provides an essential bedrock of shared attitudes and values. And Fire, of course, is the most explosively intense element of all. Two Aries will not need to tell each other the kinds of great adventures they think are important—they will already know!

Early meetings between these two are likely to find them swept up in a glorious communion of idealism, aspiration and ambition. Sparks could, almost literally, fly! Sexual attraction is strongly implicated, but strong first impressions of all kinds are likely, as Aries’ ruling planet Mars governs passion and desire, as well as action and conquest. As initial enthusiasm wanes, these two will need to negotiate how to manage their respective demands and drives. A pair of Aries share the Cardinal modality of Fire, so there is none of the softening influence that a mixture of modalities brings to a relationship. Indeed, as the first sign in the zodiac wheel, Aries could be described as the most Cardinal sign, whose compulsion to surge in exciting new directions is the most unbridled.

For two Aries together, questions will inevitably arise around how to manage their respective and ambitions and thirsts for adventure. Can they function as two stars, equally, side-by-side? How will they decide as a duo to prioritize between different projects that seem earth-shatteringly important to each of them? Perceived slights or selfishness could well be met with rage or miserableness. Indeed, the key to harnessing the potential of Aries' shared Fire element may be to establish independent orbits, from which each party can return to enjoying the inspirational aspects of the partnership, without feeling that their own vitality is threatened.

Paul and Nancy Pelosi

Nancy Pelosi (3/26/1940, Aries Dragon), Paul Pelosi (4/15/1940, Aries Dragon) : The first woman elected Speaker of the US House of Representatives and her businessman husband have been married since 1963. They have five children and nine grandchildren. Nancy Pelosi described in 2014: "A successful marriage is a decision. You decide it's going to work. You can't always be there, but you have to be there enough. And you have to make sure you are where you're needed most. Sometimes it's here, sometimes it's there; sometimes it's a tie and you have to prioritize. But it's always a decision. My husband and I met in college. We couldn't have thought of every possible thing back then. But here we are. We just had our 50th wedding anniversary. It's worked.

Eddie Murphy (4/3/1961, Aries Ox), Martin Lawrence (4/16/1965, Aries Snake) : The two actors appeared together in the films Boomerang (1992) and Life (1995). In 2021, Lawrence tweeted a photo of the two in costume, writing: "From driving all night to catch [Murphy's] show as a fan to becoming brothas and puttin in work. Truly an honor." The two have recently engaged in friendly banter about a romance between Murphy's son and Lawrence's daughter, with Murphy saying: "My daughter just got married, and I had to pay — really had to pay. You have to do the same, Martin. Don’t try to switch it up — don’t try to change no s—, do no Hollywood switch. You’re paying for the wedding. If it goes down, Martin is paying. And the wedding better be wonderful."

Lady Gaga and Elton John

Lady Gaga (3/28/1986, Aries Tiger), Elton John (3/25/1947, Aries Pig) : The two legendary singers formed a strong friendship after they performed together at the Grammy awards in 2010, with Lady Gaga later becoming godmother to Elton's two children (with husband David Furnish). Lady Gaga has described: "Elton’s always really challenged me to take care of my artistry and to really take care of myself. And I really, really honor that about him. He is so, so uniquely special. And I cannot tell you how instrumental in my life he’s been to showing me that you can go all the way in life and…be authentic and be you and do good things in the world and take care of yourself and be there. He’s such an inspiration."

Cobie Smulders (4/3/1982, Aries Dog), Taran Killam (4/1/1982, Aries Dog) : The two actors have been married since 2012 and have two children. Smulders described in 2019: "I’m a very lucky woman. This magic happened 14 years ago. We’ve been together since we were 22 years young. We were babies and we survived our 20s together — I don’t know how that’s possible, but we did. It’s crazy."

Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica Parker (3/25/1965, Aries Snake), Matthew Broderick (3/21/1962, Aries Tiger) : These two popular actors have been married since 1997. Said Parker in 2016, "I know this sounds nuts, but we have lives that allow us to be away and come back together."

David Hyde Pierce (4/3/1959, Aries Pig), Brian Hargrove (4/2/1956, Aries Monkey) : The two actors have been together for almost 40 years and married in 2008. Hyde Pierce described: "When Brian and I were first together, we were actors, we had the same agents, and we just ran into each other at auditions. We liked each other. We did not know at that time that either one of us was gay, and we just hung out as best friends. That went on for many months. Eventually, we figured it out. I've always felt that the fact that the relationship was built on friendship first is part of the reason why we've been together for 39 years."

The Rabbit and Pig is one of the most special matches in the entire Chinese zodiac. At its core, Chinese astrology is based on four Trine Families, like the elements in the Western zodiac. The family that includes the Pig and Rabbit—along with their close ally, the Sheep—is the gentlest, most peaceable of the four.

Chances are, these two will sense a delicious calmness fall over them as soon as they meet. The Rabbit's idealistic, artistic temperament tends to feel immediately encouraged and supported by the abundantly generous Pig. The Pig is likely to sense from the beginning that the Rabbit's motives are pure and kind, and that the Pig's trusting nature will never be taken advantage of.

This combination naturally emphasises aesthetics, goodness and compassion—everything that is beautiful in the world. Hence as a duo they will be motivated towards conflict resolution, creative expression, and sensual experience. The vices that can arise for these two souls in other contexts—self-sabotage or irritability for the Pig; fearfulness or isolation for the Rabbit—are mercifully rare or absent when they are together. Instead, this relationship is deeply protective and nurturing.

While the Pig/Rabbit combination is known to contribute a sense of harmony to many families, it is equally true that these two can contribute their magical, family-like energy to any setting where they are welcome and comfortable.

Francis Ford Coppola (4/7/1939, Aries Rabbit), Sofia Coppola (5/14/1971, Taurus Pig) : The father and daughter are both celebrated film directors. Sofia Coppola has described: "I’m proud to be his daughter..I learned to have balls from him, and integrity. But I have a body of work now, and it has its own identity. He’s a great master, but I’m happy to carve out my own way of working."

Zach Braff (4/6/1975, Aries Rabbit), Florence Pugh (1/3/1996, Capricorn Pig) : The actor and actor/director dated and lived together during 2019 to 2022, after they met working together on the short film directed by Braff, It Takes Time to Get There. The two traded affectionate birthday messages, with Pugh writing in April 2021: "It's this magical person[']s birthday...His need to make people laugh and smile is never ending, his constant generosity and love for others is infectious, his creativity and ability to put real and honest words onto the page inspires many and all who's around him." Braff wrote in January 2022, "Happy birthday to this beautiful human being. I am so lucky to know you. And the world is so lucky they get to witness your incredible talent."

Phoebe Cates (7/16/1963, Cancer Rabbit), Kevin Kline (10/24/1947, Scorpio Pig) : The two actors have been married since 1989. Kline was quoted in 2002 as saying: "When I first met Phoebe, I remember thinking, She's too happy to be with me. She's too enthusiastic about life….What'll we talk about?"

Lily Tomlin (9/1/1939, Virgo Rabbit), Jane Wagner (2/26/1935, Pisces Pig) : The actor and writer became partners in 1971 and, after 41 years together, married in 2013. Tomlin has described, "[Wagner] expresses how I feel, which I have no ability to do. She can express in words what I feel about the world, about humans, about the struggle that we’re in — and, presumably, not the inevitability of it all, something that I know speaks to other people."

Linda Cardellini and Christina Applegate

Linda Cardellini (6/25/1975, Cancer Rabbit), Christina Applegate (11/25/1971, Sagittarius Pig) : The two actors starred together in the show Dead to Me and became close friends. Cardellini has said: "The trust that we have with each other in life, and on screen, which just happened magically, kind of instantly for us, I’m so grateful for. It’s a gift in my real life and it’s a gift in my professional life. I love when we’re on set together. I couldn’t even hope for a better partner."

Drew Barrymore (2/22/1975, Pisces Rabbit), Tom Green (7/30/1971, Leo Pig) : The actor/media personality and actor/comedian/film-maker were married from 2001-2002, after meeting on the set of Charlie's Angels (2000). In 2021, they reconnected on The Drew Barrymore Show (2020-present), with Barrymore explaining, "We have not seen each other face-to-face, actually, in almost 20 years." Green said on the show, "It's very nice to see you. It does feel weird, though. Not weird in a bad way — weird in a good way. Appreciate it, Drew, so thanks for having me on the show. It's awesome. This is cool. I actually think this is a nice way of reconnecting, actually. It takes a little bit of the pressure off."

Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson

Michael Jordan (2/17/1963, Aquarius Rabbit), Magic Johnson (8/14/1959, Leo Pig) : The two basketball legends developed a supportive friendship when they represented the US as part of the 1992, "Dream Team". Johnson described: "Man, I had some of my fondest memories just hanging out with Michael. We played cards every night against each other. And if I had the upper hand, he wanted to play another hour. [And] another hour. And then he never wants to just beat you. He wants to put his foot on your neck and just...[makes growling sound]. You’re not satisfied with beating me? You want to crush me too? Yup."

Conan O'Brien (4/18/1963, Aries Rabbit), David Letterman (4/12/1947, Aries Pig) : The two late night hosts developed a supportive friendship over many years. In 1994, Letterman famously returned to NBC as O'Brien's guest—after being rejected by the network himself—which gave O'Brien's show a memorable and much-needed boost. Said Letterman on the show, "You guys do an incredible amount of comedy and stuff that is produced that is very high level. The volume and the quality of the stuff just knocks me out. I think you’ve really done a great job to carve out a wonderful identity for yourselves… I think you did a nice job."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

Own-sign combinations such as firstwest and secondwest have the great blessing of a shared element in their favor. There can be a surplus of common energy, though, which sometimes compromises excitement and or impedes progress. Happily, in this match the Chinese zodiac pairing of firsteast and secondeast contributes a wealth of benefits, including not only thrills and mutual advancement, but also any-kind-of-weather dependability. In all, this is a special match, likely to prove a gift in any context.
