Compatibility
Gemini Rabbit and Virgo
Ox
The famously combative firstwest and secondwest combination is capable of yielding profound benefits, even if the often caring and respectful match between the firsteast and secondeast is at times hesitant to provide complete support.

Gemini and Virgo
Compatibility overview
Peace will be just about the last thing on anyone's mind when firstwest and secondwest get together. Challenges and disagreements are more or less inevitable for this combination, yet the positive impacts for their growth as individuals, and often as a duo, are almost unparalleled in the Western zodiac.

Three signs apart around the Western zodiac, Gemini and Virgo form a hard, Square angle of 90°. This energy is at once confrontational and powerful—these two feel differently about almost everything, and they want each other to know it!
Understanding this connection begins with the hard-to-reconcile elements. Gemini is an Air sign: essentially cerebral, changeable, freedom-loving, and famously sharp-tongued. Earth sign Virgo, on the other hand, is known for their patience, determination, and tendency to be fixed in their opinions and judgments. Thus Gemini will often find Virgo's approaches to life dour or stultifying, while Virgo can see Gemini as lacking discipline or endlessly unpredictable. Virgo also usually prides themselves on being plainspoken and direct, while Gemini's brand of communication is more charming and enigmatic. Hence these two may often have difficulty following what the other is saying, or find themselves arguing about how they argue—as well as whatever they were arguing about in the first place. Because they share a Mutable modality, with its emphasis on consequences and effects, there is no balancing influence to soften the tension here, so these signs have little choice but to face it head on.
This match is by no means all negative, however. It may be a cliché, but the notion that opposites attract has particular relevance for Gemini and Virgo—sexual tension is no less likely than other kinds. Perhaps more importantly in the longer term, the true wonder of this Square energy is that, disagreeable though it may be, it is all the time teaching the signs about their truest selves—what they are willing to give up, and what cannot be compromised.
They may not always be able to sustain closeness, but whether in small or lifelong doses, these two can promote a rare and unforgettable transformation in each other's lives.

Carey Mulligan (5/28/1985, Gemini Ox), Zoe Kazan (9/9/1983, Virgo Pig) : Actor Mulligan and writer/actor Kazan are friends who have collaborated on the films, Wildlife (2018), and She Said (2022). Speaking about She Said in 2022, Kazan described: "I think one of the really beautiful things about getting to have a friendship that can also be a working partnership for so long is that you get to appreciate your friend in a whole new way. And the way that Carey conducts herself, the way that she goes into every scene, Carey’s instincts were so unerring on this from the start, and there were so many times when I felt like I have no idea how to approach the scene and talking it through with Carey helped open the door for me. I just felt so lucky every day to get to look into her eyes and have this truth barometer here."
Helena Bonham Carter (5/26/1966, Gemini Horse), Tim Burton (8/25/1958, Virgo Dog) : Actor Bonham Carter and film director Burton were together as a couple for 14 years, and have two children. They collaborated on films including, Corpse Bride (2005), Charlie And The Chocolate Factory (2005), Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (2007), Alice In Wonderland (2010), Dark Shadows (2012), and Alice Through The Looking Glass (2016). They famously lived next door to one another in London during their relationship. Bonham Carter said in 2020, "I never got a free ride with Tim because I was sleeping with him. I was always auditioning. And I gave him two kids and everything!...[About the break-up,] I will say this in the positive sense: I do think there’s a point where people fit for a certain time, sometimes, and if you can, you recognise that you’ve given what you can, and you’re going to stop each other from evolving, and if you can afford it, well…I was reluctant at first, let’s say."
Jerry West (5/28/1938, Gemini Tiger), Kobe Bryant (8/23/1978, Virgo Horse) : Basketball executive and former player/coach West played a key role in drafting Bryant to the LA Lakers, where Bryant became one of the all time legends of US professional sports before his tragic death in 2020. West has spoken of the close bond that developed between them, saying he "loved [Bryant] like a son, I admired his talent." According to West, trash talk was central to their friendship: "We had some unbelievable conversations. I used to tell [Bryant] you foul too much, and you would be out of the game in no time if you are guarding me. I asked him if he's the Black Mamba, and he said yes. I said I'm a mongoose, and they kill every black mamba, and you can look it at Youtube seeing these things fighting, and mongoose wins every time. He said I'm not an ordinary black mamba, and I said I'm not an ordinary mongoose either."
Hit-Boy (5/21/1987, Gemini Rabbit), Nas (9/14/1973, Virgo Ox) : Legendary rapper Nas and singer/songwriter/producer/rapper Hit-Boy share a close and collaborative relationship, with Hit-Boy having produced Nas' last four consecutive albums: King's Disease (2020), King's Disease II (2021), Magic (2021), and King's Disease III (2022). Hit-Boy described in 2020: "We were gelling. I had multiple ideas I set to the side: some beats, some hook ideas. [Nas] was open and in a creative zone. He was ready to hear this s—, ready to build on it. Everything I was playing, he’s having his input and we turned it into something....After the first two or three sessions, [we decided to make the whole King's Disease project]. We’re like, 'Nah this s— gotta be an album, everything we’re making sounds crazy.'...[The pandemic] happened, so it gave us time to really dive into it more: make the production better, make the lyrics better. He took his time with certain verses, it turned into this moment." Nas said in 2021, "I try to make my rhymes count. I try to be very intentional with my words. If I’m thinking too into it, too close to the idea, Hit-Boy is good at bringing me back and giving me ideas and moving me into a new direction. It’s a real collaboration."
Amanda Pays (6/6/1959, Gemini Pig), Corbin Bernsen (9/7/1954, Virgo Horse) : The two actors have been married since 1988, and have four children. In addition to working together on screen—they have acted together in films including, I Know My Son is Alive (1994), Spacejacked (1997), The Santa Trap (2002), and Mary 4 Mayor (2020)—they also collaborate in real estate ventures, and as at 2017 had "flipped" 23 homes. Bernsen described: "When we first got together, I had just finished renovating my first home, purchased during 'L.A. Law.' Amanda walked in the door and immediately said, 'Nice, but everything has to go!' She had her own ideas — great ideas — and being so in love and trusting her, I said, 'Have at it!' She deconstructed all that I had just done, and the result was beautiful. To some degree, we’ve both done this 'yielding' with subsequent homes, respecting each other’s vision."
Ian Fleming (5/28/1908, Gemini Monkey), Sean Connery (8/25/1930, Virgo Horse) : The author Fleming, creator of the iconic fictional secret agent, James Bond, famously did not approve of actor Sean Connery being cast in the role. Fleming once said: "I wanted Bond to be an extremely dull, uninteresting man to whom things happened." Connery said later, "I never got introduced to Fleming until I was well into the movie but I know he was not happy with me as the choice. What was it he called me, or told somebody? That I was an over-developed stunt man. He never said it to me. When I did eventually meet him he was very interesting, erudite and a snob – a real snob. But his company was very good for a limited time for me." Fleming eventually warmed to Connery, even giving the character of Bond Scottish ancestry in later books.

Rabbit and Ox
Compatibility overview
They may often be overlooked, but firsteast and secondeast have the potential share a profoundly rewarding connection. Rather than being instinctively harmonious, these two tend to be drawn to each other's talents and character, so an independent and occasionally fractious dynamic is likely. Even so, there can be great warmth here, and lasting connections between these two may prove a source of great practical and emotional strength.

The four Trine Families that shape compatibility in the Chinese zodiac—much like the elements in Western astrology—divide into two streams. The families of the Ox (with the Rooster and Snake) and the Rabbit (with the Pig and Sheep) are in different streams from each other, which does cause some very challenging matches among this group (e.g., the Ox and Sheep, or the Rabbit and Rooster). Fortunately, the Ox and Rabbit themselves avoid the most troublesome parts of this energy, which opens up many rewarding and enjoyable synergies.
The Rabbit is among the most sensitive and artistic of all signs, and the strong-willed Ox often finds great fulfillment in providing encouragement and protection for their more delicate partner. The Ox's great fortitude and force of personality mean they almost inevitably clash with others on their path to success, so the Rabbit's conciliatory, diplomatic nature is both a natural asset for the relationship, and a source of joy and reassurance for both signs. The lurking friction in the energy here may well surface around issues of power and control.
The Rabbit's artistic spirit means they can be highly resistant to being told what to do, whereas the Ox often sees taking charge as a core part of their mission in life. Thus the Rabbit may feel overborne quite frequently, while the Ox can have the impression that their generosity with time and resources is being spurned. In their heart of hearts, these two probably have quite different ideas about what an ideal relationship looks like—the Ox is instinctively driven towards building secure strongholds where their loved ones can enjoy their protection, while the Rabbit tends to be a much freer spirit, more interested in exploring widely than tying themselves down.
Fortunately, this energy is unlikely to cause long-term feuds, and there is a good chance both signs will come to accept their different value systems with admiring resignation. With suitable understanding, there is ample scope for collaboration and genuine warmth between these two, which can benefit both long into the future.

Heidi Klum (6/1/1973, Gemini Ox), Seal (2/19/1963, Pisces Rabbit) : The model and musician were married from 2005 to 2012, and had three children together. Shortly after they began their relationship, Klum told Seal she was pregnant to her previous boyfriend. Seal described in 2008: "There was a pause of about 10 seconds and I said, 'It doesn't change the way I feel about you because the fact that you are here tells me that you think a lot about me.' People have said I was such a good person, so courageous. I honestly don't see it like that. I was the lucky one." After their break-up, Klum referred to them renewing their vows each year they were married, saying: "I think I got married eight times to Seal. I thought it would be kind of, like, fun. I thought it would be a fest of love. But you know, that doesn't work either. I tried, you can't say I didn't try!"
Stephen Eckelberry (12/8/1961, Sagittarius Ox), Karen Black (7/1/1939, Cancer Rabbit) : The actor/singer/songwriter and director/editor were together from 1983 until Black's death in 2013. They married in 1987 and adopted a daughter. Describing Black's posthumous song anthology, Dreaming of You (1971–1976), Eckelberry said: "When she acted, she was a consummate character actor. She was almost so good as a character actor that it harmed her ability to be a movie star because she was so totally enveloped in the role. So here, you have an opportunity to see the real Karen. The creativity that comes straight from her. It’s not the dialogue of some screenwriter, no matter how good they may be; it’s her own. And that is the greatest thing that comes out of this for me."
Jane Fonda (12/21/1937, Sagittarius Ox), Lily Tomlin (9/1/1939, Virgo Rabbit) : The two actors have been close friends since they starred together in the movie, 9 to 5 (1980). Recently, they co-starred as the leads in the TV show Grace and Frankie (2015-2022). Fonda has described about their relationship: "Male friendships are facing outward, side-by-side, looking out, ‘Oh, look at her boobs,’ ‘God, what a great car.’ Women friendships are face-to-face, and it’s like, ‘Can you help me? I’m really lost,’ and you’ll take me into your arms. We’re not afraid to ask for help, we’re not afraid to express vulnerability [and] we just drill down to soul-level very fast." Tomlin said in 2023: "[Fonda's] always been the ‘take a leap of faith’ girl to me. I just loved her innocence and her need to make everybody OK with it, and do the right thing. And thank God I did do the movie [9 to 5]. It was a blessing."
Louis Armstrong (8/4/1901, Leo Ox), Bing Crosby (5/3/1903, Taurus Rabbit) : The jazz musician/actor and singer/actor shared a friendly relationship as two of the biggest stars in the early twentieth century. Crosby reportedly lobbied for Armstrong to receive prominent billing when they co-starred in the film, Pennies from Heaven (1936), a first for a Black actor in a mainstream movie. They later recorded the album Bing and Satchmo (1960). Although Armstrong famously said, "I’ve never been invited to the home of a movie star – not even Bing’s," Crosby wrote affectionately in the months before Armstrong's death in 1971: "I’m saddened to hear that you have been stricken again, Pops….I think of you often, and I will always recall, with pleasure, the times when we get together for an appearance, or a visit. They’re too infrequent, it seems to me, and when you get back to work, we’ll have to change all this."
Jack Nicholson (4/22/1937, Taurus Ox), Anjelica Huston (7/8/1951, Cancer Rabbit) : The two legendary actors were together for seventeen years until 1990. They co-starred in Prizzi's Honor (1985), for which Huston won an Academy Award. Nicholson continued to see other women during their relationship, and Huston wrote in her memoir, Watch Me (2014): "Occasionally, I’d find a piece of female apparel...or a trinket might get left behind in the soap dish. Sometimes I’d take to wearing the jewelry to see if anybody would come up and claim it, but that never happened." She also described: "There was a profound and devoted sense of loyalty with Jack. If he invested in you, or if he placed his heart with you, it meant something for life. Jack had a very healthy awareness and a self-approbation that you could enjoy with him. He saw the lunacy in situations and was generally at the center of it." In 1980, Nicholson said , "I certainly would say [Huston]’s the love of my life."
Daphna Kastner (4/17/1961, Aries Ox), Harvey Keitel (5/13/1939, Taurus Rabbit) : The two actors married secretly in 2001 and have a son together. Keitel has described how they first met at a party in the 1980s, but after two dinners Kastner turned him down. Seventeen years afterwards, they met again at a party and stayed together: "Seven weeks later, I was going to a film festival in Italy and I asked her to come with me. She said, 'Yes,’ and on the flight, I said, ‘What do you think about getting married?’ She gave a great answer: she said, ‘OK.'"
Gene Simmons (8/25/1949, Virgo Ox), Paul Stanley (1/20/1952, Aquarius Rabbit) : The two musicians and founding members of the band Kiss have been collaborators for over 50 years. Stanley described in 2021: "[W]e're very different, but we certainly share a pride in what we do, a work ethic...Even when things have been tough...we always were family...I'm very, very lucky to have him. And I don't necessarily agree with everything he does. But does anybody?" Simmons said in 2017: "[T]ime is the ultimate judge, and the fact that [Stanley and I have] been together, at this point for over 40 years says volumes. There have been times where I’ve been very angry and resentful — and I’m not saying momentarily — I’m saying for long periods of time. But, in time, everything falls in place and you get a better perspective — hopefully. If you don’t expect from someone what’s not possible, then you won’t be disappointed."

Final Words
firstwest and secondwest share a Square aspect that represents some of the most challenging energy in the Western zodiac—yet even as they struggle to reach agreement together, they can reap far-reaching benefits in terms of individual priorities, growth and direction. Complicating matters here is the combination of the firsteast and secondeast, who may admire and care deeply for one another, but who can also feel instinctively somewhat nervous or distant when together for extended periods. Ultimately, the best aspects of this relationship have terrific potential, and with requisite independence and clear communication, these two may achieve lasting personal growth and solidarity.
