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.

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.

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."

Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock

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."

The Rabbit and Sheep are one of the most magical pairings in the Chinese zodiac.

A central element of Chinese astrology is the four Trine Families into which the twelve signs divide. One of these consists of the Rabbit and Sheep (along with their most generous ally, the Pig). These signs are bound together by a mutual love of aesthetic beauty, relaxation, and empathy. In the company of some other signs, they can both be quite easily overwhelmed, given their profound sensitivity to perceived ugliness, noise or aggression. But together, they will tend to lose themselves quickly in a wonderful atmosphere of tranquility.

The Sheep will likely be fascinated by the Rabbit's abundant skills and deeply romantic sensibility. Instinctively secure in the Rabbit's company, the Sheep is apt to unleash a true charm offensive, delighting and reassuring the gentle Rabbit. Perhaps no other sign is as capable of expressing pure hypnotic joy as the Sheep when they are at ease! While early exchanges are likely to have a flirtatious quality even in entirely chaste surroundings, the closer these two become, the more likely they are to realise the powerful creative potential of their shared energy. For these two signs are artists in their marrow.

As a pair, the Rabbit and Sheep are capable of expressing their shared aesthetic with extraordinary elegance and refinement, whether in professional projects or in building a home and life together. Given the freedom and peace they need, the results will almost certainly be breathtaking.

Angelina Jolie (6/4/1975, Gemini Rabbit), Billy Bob Thornton (8/4/1955, Leo Sheep) : The two actors shared a high-profile relationship when they were married from 2000 to 2003. They were known for eccentric displays of affection, which included wearing vials of each other's blood, and Jolie gifting Thornton a pair of matching burial plots. In the foreword to Thornton's book, The Billy Bob Tapes: A Cave Full of Ghosts (2012), Jolie wrote: "Through the years I’ve known Billy I’ve learned that not only was he as interesting, as truly original, as had been told to me, but that he was also so much more…Some people walk through life able to quiet the voices in their heads. He can’t. And I, and everyone else who knows him well, we love him for it. I know one thing: the world would certainly be a hell of a lot more dull if that man weren’t in it."

Michael Jordan (2/17/1963, Aquarius Rabbit), Yvette Prieto (3/26/1979, Aries Sheep) : The legenday basketballer and model married in 2013. They have two children, twins born in 2014.

Aside from her beauty, which is obvious, she is loving, simple and very good person."

Paul Sorvino (4/13/1939, Aries Rabbit), Mira Sorvino (9/28/1967, Libra Sheep) : The two actors were father and daughter. In accepting her Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1996, for Mighty Aphrodite (1995), Mira said, "When you give me this award you honor my father Paul Sorvino who taught me everything I know about acting." Writing about her speech later, Mira described: "My love for my father has only continued to grow since this moment. All the love in my heart! He is the most loving father, the most brilliant actor, the most beautiful operatic tenor, the most talented visual artist—the wisest and most human advice giver, & best Grandpa ever!!"

Dermot Mulroney (10/31/1963, Scorpio Rabbit), Julia Roberts (10/28/1967, Scorpio Sheep) : The two actors are good friends, who worked together on the films, My Best Friend's Wedding (1997), and August: Osage County (2013). Mulroney described in 2016: "It doesn't always happen with every person that you love and work with -- you kind of go your separate ways. But we, against all odds, managed to maintain a great close friendship...[Roberts is] just one of the most genuine friends I have. She's a really generous person—great sense of humor and really caring. Great family, and she's been a good friend and role model for me."

Steve Jobs and Laurene Powell Jobs

Laurene Powell Jobs (11/6/1963, Scorpio Rabbit), Steve Jobs (2/24/1955, Pisces Sheep) : The two entrepreneurs were married from 1991 until Jobs' death in 2011. They had three children. Laurene Jobs described in 2020: "I can talk about him for hours. I met Steve when I was 25 years old. And from the day we met, we were together for 22 years. So he influenced everything. I grew up with him. Just like anyone that you share your life with, there’s an exchange and a robustness. We had a very, very beautiful and rich connection. We talked a lot, for hours every day. To pull out any one way in which he affected my worldview is impossible, because I have integrated so much of him."

Sidney Poitier (2/20/1927, Pisces Rabbit), Joanna Shimkus (10/30/1943, Scorpio Sheep) : The two actors were married from 1976 until Poitier died in 2022. Shimkus described in 1998: "I guess we were just destined to be [together]...It could be that we lead a very quiet life. It could be that it's just the way it is, I don't really know. But I never really did see him as a Black man. I mean, I know he is Black, but I just saw him as a man, and he was just a wonderful person. An amazing human being...The thing that attracted me to him the most, I think, is his integrity and his honesty [and] his loyalty to his family. He's just an amazing human being. He's just a good, good, good person. And he's cute too, yes! And he was especially gorgeous then. He still is too now, but he was very, very attractive then."

Mac Miller and Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar (6/17/1987, Gemini Rabbit), Mac Miller (1/19/1992, Capricorn Sheep) : The two rappers were friends who collaborated on songs including, "Fight the Feeling" (2012), and "God is Fair, Sexy Nasty" (2016). Speaking after Miller died tragically at age 26, Lamar described: "All in all that’s the type of person he was — just a good dude. Always made you feel good, just a great energy to have around...Great musician. Great writer. He just always had a smile on his face...No matter what he was going through, he didn’t make you feel sorry for him, you know? He was strong about it —always kept a smile on his face because he wanted you to smile, too. And that’s just something I always loved, you know, no matter whatever personal issues, he gave you that energy. He gave you that energy. It wasn’t no misery loves company with him, you know? He showed a smile and then you gave that smile right back. It made you feel good. So forever we’re gonna remember the life and we’re gonna remember that smile. Celebrate. Mac Miller. Love."

Final Words

The Sextile connection between firstwest and secondwest is one of the true gifts in Western astrology—a dependable, highly enjoyable match whose only real weakness is that its hassle-free camaraderie might seem to be missing some excitement or importance. Here, though, the magic between the firsteast and secondeast is harder to overlook, for these are born allies, who naturally provide each other with security, inspiration, and affection. In all, this is a simply brilliant foundation for any relationship.
