Aries and Pisces

Compatibility overview

These two signs share a minor Semi-Sextile aspect, being next to each other on the zodiac wheel. This curious connection is sometimes likened to real-life “next-door neighbors”. It is easy to assume that people who inhabit similar surrounds must have lots in common, but there is much more to the story here. Indeed, possibly no semi-Sextile combination is as complex as that between firstwest and secondwest!

Because the cycle of the Western zodiac begins with Aries and ends with Pisces, probably no two adjacent signs possess such different characteristics—at least superficially—as these two.

Where Pisces tend to be dreamy, reflective and private, Aries are the zodiac's most dynamic and intense souls. The Semi-Sextile aspect is usually characterized by initial standoffishness, but these two could find themselves running in opposite directions! The respective elements of Fire (Aries) and Water (Pisces) may be a source of particular tension. Aries may see Pisces as depressingly boring and meek, while Pisces can find Aries to be bothersome attention-seekers whose priorities lack real meaning.

If this pair can be persuaded to engage more deeply with one another, however, delightful possibilities could lie in wait. Surprising as it may seem, Aries' Cardinal modality is a lovely match with Pisces' Mutable energy. The key is to tap into Aries' child-like idealism and sense of wonder. If Aries relaxes enough to share the visionary side of their character, this will resonate with Pisces' affinity for the eternal, and many inspiring ideas could spring forth.

It may be more customary to find this combination in successful professional and friendship contexts than intimate relationships. But this combination should not be discounted in any relationship, especially as the Semi-sextile connection is known for its capacity to become ever stronger over time.

Big Sean (3/25/1988, Aries Dragon), Jhené Aiko (3/16/1988, Pisces Dragon) : The rapper and singer/songwriter have been romantically involved since 2016, and have one child. As a duo, they released the album, Twenty88, in 2016. Aiko has described: "When I met Sean, I had a boyfriend and he was showing interest in me, but I was like, I have a boyfriend. But we were friends, it was never, nothing disrespectful ever happened between me and Sean. We were forced to really, really get to know each other on a friendship level, you know what I mean? And to the point where he was even at my brother's funeral. We talk to each other on a friendship level throughout all of my relationship...It just came to a point where it was like, 'I'm single, you're single, we love each other.' We actually already loved each other as people and then it was like, 'Okay, let's just, you know, be together.'"

Hayes MacArthur (4/16/1977, Aries Snake), Ali Larter (2/28/1976, Pisces Dragon) : The two actors began dating in 2005, with Larter saying in 2007 that, "I told my lover after three weeks that I wanted to marry him and that we could do it tomorrow." They eventually exchanged rings in 2007 and married in 2009. They have two children together.

Debbie Reynolds and Elizabeth Taylor

Debbie Reynolds (4/1/1932, Aries Monkey), Elizabeth Taylor (2/27/1932, Pisces Monkey) : The two celebrated actors from Hollywood's Golden Age were friends in their youth. Reynolds explained: "We went to school together on the lot, when [Taylor] was in between films. I was just a beginner, and she and I were not in any manner alike, but we got along very well because I was in awe of going to school with Elizabeth Taylor." Later, they became embroiled in a love triangle, with Reynolds' husband Eddie Fisher having an affair and then marrying Taylor. However, the two women reconciled after their paths crossed on a cruise ship. Reynolds described: "I sent a note to [Taylor] and she sent a note to me in passing, and then we had dinner together...And we just said, 'Let's call it a day.' And we got smashed. And we had a great evening, and stayed friends since then." They later starred together in These Old Broads (2001), written by Reynolds' daughter, Carrie Fisher.

Leonard Nimoy (3/26/1931, Aries Sheep), Susan Bay (3/16/1943, Pisces Sheep) : The two actors were married from 1989 until Nimoy's death in 2015. According to a statement by Nimoy's rabbi after his death, "Leonard shared with me that he had never met a woman like her, never had he loved anyone so dearly and passionately, that she’d saved his life and lifted him from darkness and unhappiness in ways he never thought possible."

George Harrison and Eric Clapton

Eric Clapton (3/30/1945, Aries Rooster), George Harrison (2/25/1943, Pisces Sheep) : The two musicians shared a famously loyal and tumultuous friendship from the 1960s until Harrison's death in 2001. As well as their iconic collaboration on the Beatles' song, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", their work together also included several tracks on each of Harrison's landmark solo albums, All Things Must Pass (1970), and Cloud Nine (1987). Remarkably, Clapton became fixated with Harrison's wife, Pattie Boyd, during the late 1960s; Boyd divorced Harrison in 1977, and married Clapton in 1979. The two guitar-players remained friends, however, with Harrison reportedly referring to Clapton as his "husband-in-law" during Clapton's marriage to Boyd. After Harrison's death, Clapton joined with Harrison's widow, Olivia Harrison, to stage the Concert for George in 2002.

Aretha Franklin (3/25/1942, Aries Horse), Smokey Robinson (2/19/1940, Pisces Dragon) : The two legendary singer/songwriters grew up together in Detroit, and formed a lifelong friendship. After Franklin died in 2018, Robinson described: "I hear piano being played and I hear this little voice singing. I look in and there’s Aretha sitting at the piano singing and playing almost like she sang and played in her adult life. She was probably 5 years old or so and she just had it...Aretha and I were tight. We had a wonderful, wonderful friendship that lasted throughout her entire life. She was my longest friend on earth...We always had a relationship that almost had nothing to do with show business...We very seldom, when we got together, even talked about show business."

Mitt Romney and Ann Romney

Ann Romney (4/16/1949, Aries Ox), Mitt Romney (3/12/1947, Pisces Pig) : The US politician (and 2012 Republican candidate for President) and equestrian/author/philanthropist married in 1969 and have five children together. In a 2012 speech, Ann Romney described: "I read somewhere that Mitt and I have a 'storybook marriage.' Well, in the storybooks I read, there were never long, long, rainy winter afternoons in a house with five boys screaming at once. And those storybooks never seemed to have chapters called MS or Breast Cancer...A storybook marriage? No, not at all. What Mitt Romney and I have is a real marriage."

Sheep and Sheep

Compatibility overview

A pairing between two Sheep natives is a standout match, not just among own-sign matches, but among all matches in the Chinese zodiac. Naturally, the overlap between these personalities results in occasional overfamiliarity. But the Sheep's artistic sensibilities and gentle nature mean they are well-equipped to resolve problems and concentrate on the good things in life—not least each other.

Chinese astrology is built on the foundation of the four Trine Families. The family of the Sheep (which also includes the Pig and Rabbit) is well known for their love of beauty, peace, and coziness. Two Sheep together thus share a bedrock of values that are close to their heart.

Early conversations will likely emphasize the importance of family, as well as artistic subjects of various kinds, for the Sheep is one of the most naturally creative and visionary of all the Chinese zodiac signs. Because they are also highly sensitive to disruptions of one kind or another, two Sheep will also frequently bond over things they don't like. Cruelty, injustice, and ugliness are usually anathema to these idealist souls, and sharing their romantic outlook with a fellow Sheep can be a source of profound existential comfort. Naturally, as time passes, having so much in common can make for close and lasting friendships and professional collaborations, as well as gentle and intimate personal relationships.

A pair of Sheep will have to keep a lookout for the effect of anxiety on their shared lives. Sheep natives can sometimes be just as worried about potential or imagined disturbances as real ones. Without the calming influence of contrary energy, these two might sometimes be guilty of stressing unnecessarily or over-reacting, using a sledgehammer to crush a walnut so to speak. Clear strategies to address paranoia or excessive sensitivity are likely to prove useful. Fortunately, the Sheep personality is adept at seeking out and maintaining the tranquility they need to be at their happiest and most productive.

Two Sheep working together will usually be able to shake off their anxieties quickly and fulfil themselves in the ways they cherish most—with highly original creativity, joyful conversation, and blissful environments. Having such desires in common, there is a strong prospect that in any context, two Sheep will form a lasting and intensely rewarding bond.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban

Nicole Kidman (6/20/1967, Gemini Sheep), Keith Urban (10/26/1967, Scorpio Sheep) : The actor and singer have been married for 15 years and have two children together. Urban has described how he entered rehab for addiction within months of their wedding, saying, "I caused the implosion of my fresh marriage. It survived, but it’s a miracle it did. For the first time in my life, I could shake off the shackles of addiction." Later, speaking of the support Urban provided after the death of her father, Kidman said, "To have my husband to step up in that way, it makes me cry. He’s amazing. I will keep him. I’ll do anything for that man."

Imelda Staunton (1/9/1956, Capricorn Sheep), Mike Leigh (2/20/1943, Pisces Sheep) : The actor and director worked together on the multi-award-winning films, Vera Drake (2004) and Another Year (2010). Staunton described in 2005: "Mike empowers you as an actor. We created together the character of Vera [Drake] from the day she was born. The creative process was long but very fulfilling, because it involved improvisations and extensive research of the whole period...The sessions with Mike are always very personal, one-to-one. During that time, you don’t talk to the other actors at all. You don’t exchange notes about what you're doing, or what they're doing. Each one of us only talks to Mike. My sessions with Mike varied in length, but they were always one-to-one."

Bonnie Wright and Evanna Lynch

Evanna Lynch (8/16/1991, Leo Sheep), Bonnie Wright (2/17/1991, Aquarius Sheep) : The two actors co-starred in the Harry Potter film series, and have gone on to share a friendship based on similar commitments to activism. Promoting an event to publicize Wright's book, Go Gently: Actionable Steps to Nurture Yourself and the Planet (2022), Lynch posted in 2022: "Over the past few years, I’ve been very inspired by Bonnie’s lifestyle and her passion and commitment to sustainability and to making sustainable practices accessible for everyone. I’ve seen her in many different settings gently but consistently advocate for zero-waste facilities, and each time, it jolted me into realising how wasteful and careless of the planet my normal everyday habits become, unless I consciously choose otherwise...I have LOTS of questions for Bonnie!! And I cannot wait to ask them and be part of this conversation on May 10th!"

Jason Momoa (8/1/1979, Leo Sheep), Lisa Bonet (11/16/1967, Scorpio Sheep) : The couple were together for 16 years and married for five. Early in the relationship, they made headlines because of the 12-year age difference—when they met, Momoa was 25, Bonet 37. They have two children together and remain close after separating in 2022. A joint statement issued after the separation described: "We have all felt the squeeze and changes of these transformational times… A revolution is unfolding — and our family is of no exception… feeling and growing from the seismic shifts occurring...The love between us carries on, evolving in ways it wishes to be known and lived. We free each other — to be who we are learning to become…Our devotion unwavering to this sacred life and our Children."

Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner

Leonard Nimoy (3/26/1931, Aries Sheep), William Shatner (3/22/1931, Aries Sheep) : The two actors were close friends who created one of the most iconic on-screen relationships of all time, as Captain Kirk and Spock in the original Star Trek film and TV series. Shatner described in his book, Nimoy, Leonard: My Fifty-Year Friendship With a Remarkable Man (2016) that the pair grew apart later in life, which Shatner has described with great regret: "No, [I never understood why,] and [Nimoy] was my dearest friend. We talked about all kinds of things in the darkness of the limousine, about divorce and children. But something happened, I don’t know what, it was so bizarre. But his daughter told me not long ago: 'He really loved you.' And that moved me to tears."

Barbara Eden (8/23/1931, Virgo Sheep), Larry Hagman (9/21/1931, Virgo Sheep) : The two actors displayed memorable chemistry as the stars of I Dream of Jeannie (1965-1970), in spite of Hagman's famously erratic behavior and alcoholism. They later appeared together on the show, Dallas (1978-1991), and in the play, Love Letters. Eden has said that there was never a romantic relationship between them, although, "We just...we clicked. We had the same rhythm. We’ve got the same truth out of whatever we were doing. I loved him a lot." Eden described that once, when she was upset after an incident on set, Hagman comforted her: "Don't cry, Barbara. That's my act."

Mick Jagger and Keith Richards

Mick Jagger (7/26/1943, Leo Sheep), Keith Richards (12/18/1943, Sagittarius Sheep) : The two founding members of The Rolling Stones knew each other as children, and have shared a lifelong collaboration that is one of the most famous working relationships of all time. Richards described in 2021: "It's almost indescribable. When Mick and I are out there [on stage] working, we both know that, ‘Hey, I'm counting on you.’ And there's a beautiful jousting and also like a support. That's where I feel my friendship with Mick more intensely than at any other time he's on stage. You know, I have his back. He has mine. It's an interesting piece of improvisation goes on every night and it's like, how far do you want to push it? And that's half the fun of it. It's never the same, this show, there's no script."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The semi-Sextile match of firstwest and secondwest contains the seeds of a life-changingly close and supportive collaboration—if they can progress beyond early wariness, for their stark differences are usually apparent immediately. The shared energy of the Chinese zodiac’s firsteast sign may at times bring a lack of excitement or problems resolving disagreements, but these two can usually be relied on to see the world in the same way. Overall, then, this is a relationship with a firm foundation, and significant long-term opportunities for mutual reassurance and reward.
