As different as Western and Chinese astrology are, both share a great appreciation for Trine matches, where signs are four steps apart. In the Western zodiac, one such Trine match comprises the Earth signs, Capricorn and Virgo. The Earth element is associated with stability, patience, and practicality. Right from the get-go, Capricorn and Virgo will often appreciate that they are kindred spirits.

Capricorn's gift for strategy and power dynamics will resonate powerfully with Virgo, just as Virgo's analytical skills and goal-focus are highly desirable to Capricorn. Indeed, the respective abilities here are so compatible that the potential for material or social successes is extraordinary. Capricorn's Cardinal modality, an always-beginning influence that drives Capricorn's continual innovation, blends perfectly with Virgo'sMutable, what-happens-next? energy. Collaborations of all and any kinds are thus highly favored. Not to mention that these two share delightfully compatible senses of humor.

Problems for these signs in other contexts will rarely surface here, and when they do they can usually be dealt with effectively. Virgo's enthusiasm for and adeptness at problem-solving are an excellent tonic for Capricorn's occasional though serious pessimism. Capricorn's social awareness and patience mean Virgo's tendency for inflexibility or brusqueness will usually be short-lived or managed with sensitivity.

In short, this is an ideal combination for any kind of professional, familial, or intimate relationship, capable of providing nourishment and pleasure for a lifetime.

At its heart, Chinese astrology is about four Trine Families. One such family comprises the Ox and Snake (with their close ally the Rooster). The energy that unites these two emphasises determination, perseverance, and sharp acumen.

The Ox is likely to be deeply impressed by the Snake's philosophical outlook, and being typically self-assured, the Ox is comfortable allowing themselves to be seduced by the Snake's other-worldly allure. The Snake, meanwhile, is instinctively drawn to the sense of security and strength of will that defines the Ox. Hence these two are natural partners, the Ox's legendary stubbornness interweaving beautifully with the Snake's patience and occasional guile. Together, they share deeply-held values around the importance of home, privacy, and duty. Indeed, as a pair they might occasionally be accused of a certain inflexibility, given the strength of their shared convictions, which other signs with less forceful energy may find challenging to navigate.

The ability of the Ox and Snake to work as a team, calmly anticipating and evaluating opportunities, then driving success with incredible reserves of physical and intellectual power, is perhaps unrivalled in all of astrology. As good as this relationship is in times of plenty, it is often even stronger in the face of adversity—which may be its greatest quality of all.

Finneas O'Connell (7/30/1997, Leo Ox), Billie Eilish (12/18/2001, Sagittarius Snake) : The singer/songwriter and singer/songwriter/producer are sister and brother. The two have collaborated extensively, notably on Eilish's hugely successful and multi-award-winning albums When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019) and Happier Than Ever (2021). In a joint interview, Connell described: "Then we were like, 'Let’s make some songs,' that kind of casual thing turned into this more serious thing, and so we had this excuse to see each other all the time. Most of the people that I’m closest to have a really close relationship with their siblings — I think that’s why I identify with them — but they just have no excuse to see them...And so I think that’s the other thing that has cemented our closeness, is just we have this excuse. It’s part of the reason I love going on tour with Billie — I have this excuse to get to spend months at a time with her." Eilish said, "We bicker so much, you would not believe it...Since we were babies, we fight all the time like siblings do. We’re so annoyed by each other and infuriated by things. But we also get along really well, and literally, no one on the earth makes me laugh the way that Finneas does. [O'CONNELL: Likewise]. I think that that part is probably the part that people say they don’t have with their siblings, which makes me sad because it’s the most amazing part of my life."

Dave Chappelle (8/24/1973, Virgo Ox), Chris Rock (2/7/1965, Aquarius Snake) : The two comedians are good friends who have expressed mutual admiration and appeared together on stage multiple times. Rock has described: "There was like a couple shows that were just me and Dave on stage for like two hours. He would call up my road manager, like, 'I'm coming.' ...I just love Dave, and I look at it like [Jean-Michel] Basquiat and [Andy] Warhol and we’re just collaborating."

Heidi Klum (6/1/1973, Gemini Ox), Tom Kaulitz (9/1/1989, Virgo Snake) : The model/entertainer/businesswoman and musician married in 2019.
