Compatibility
Gemini Tiger and Virgo
Snake
It may appear to be something of an energy minefield, but there is real potential here—provided the famously disagreeable combination of firstwest and secondwest fulfills its potential for life-changing personal growth, and the precarious firsteast and secondeast match is carefully controlled.

Western Zodiac
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.

Tiger and Snake
Compatibility overview
Devotees of the Western zodiac are often surprised by how critical Chinese astrologers are of certain energy matches. Nowhere is the Chinese prognosis as bleak as with the Adversary matches along the fourth degree axis. One such pairing is that between Tiger and Snake, an unsettling combination that is likely to test even the most amiable personalities.

An infamous adversarial energy surrounds the pairing between the Tiger and Snake.
A confounding aspect of this combination is that the Tiger and Snake both have strong visual appeal, and both naturally focus on abstract ideals over more everyday concerns. Someone who knows them separately could be forgiven for imagining they might get along famously! Yet appearances here can be quite deceptive. The Tiger's instincts favor speed, action, and decisiveness. The Snake, by contrast, leans towards restraint, patience, and reflection. This essential disconnect tends to produce instability and miscommunication. These two will likely vacillate between recklessness and procrastination, secrecy and tactlessness, miserliness and extravagance.
More challenging still, the conflict here is ambiguous rather than direct. Resentment is more likely to fester than to reveal itself through confrontation. There is a quicksand quality to communication, so even attempts at kindness and resolution can be misconstrued by the receiver, or make the giver feel as if they have surrendered or compromised their true self. Ultimately, for a Tiger and Snake to succeed together will likely require strong counterbalancing energy on the Western side, or highly-developed conflict resolution skills. Otherwise the personal growth of both parties may lead to limiting the relationship's scope, or even abandoning it altogether. If such countering forces are brought to bear, however, there is potential here for harmony, and for the relationship to inspire profound personal growth.

Axl Rose (2/6/1962, Aquarius Tiger), Slash (7/23/1965, Leo Snake) : Before reconciling in 2015, the two founding members of Guns N' Roses were almost as famous for the feud between them as for their legendary collaborations. A lowpoint was Rose saying in 2009 that, "Slash either should not have been in Guns to begin with or should have left after [1988’s GNR Lies]. In a nutshell, personally I consider him a cancer and better removed, avoided — and the less anyone heard of him or his supporters, the better."
Marilyn Monroe (6/1/1926, Gemini Tiger), John F. Kennedy (5/29/1917, Gemini Snake) : Monroe's performance of "Happy Birthday" for John F. Kennedy is one of the most famous events in modern U.S. history. Rumours have abounded of a sexual relationship between the two, but according to reports any such liaison was not especially memorable for either of them. The only known photo of them together shows Kennedy looking down and away.
Megan Fox (5/16/1986, Taurus Tiger), Michael Bay (2/17/1965, Aquarius Snake) : The actor and model Fox starred in the first two Transformers films directed by Bay, but was famously dropped from the third instalment after saying this about the director: "He’s like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad man reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he’s a nightmare to work for…"
Phil Collins (1/30/1951, Aquarius Tiger), Lily Collins (3/18/1989, Pisces Snake) : The celebrated musician and his model/actor daughter seemed to reconcile in 2020 after a well-publicised estrangement. Lily Collins wrote in her autobiographical essays collection, Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me (2017), addressing her father: "We all make choices and, although I don’t excuse some of yours, at the end of the day we can’t rewrite the past. I’m learning how to accept your actions and vocalize how they made me feel. I accept and honor the sadness and anger I felt toward the things you did or didn’t do, did or didn’t give me. I’ve learned a lot and my eyes and heart are wide open."
Rosie O’Donnell (3/21/1962, Aries Tiger), Barbara Walters (9/25/1929, Libra Snake) : The two television personalities, both stars of The View, famously clashed during a dressing room confrontation in January 2007 following a dispute about Donald Trump. O'Donnell has since been quoted as saying, "I said something about her daughter, which I should not have said. But I did...Things that were way too personal to bring up, and I brought them up, and I felt regretful since."
Tom Cruise (7/3/1962, Cancer Tiger), Brooke Shields (5/31/1965, Gemini Snake) : The two actors starred together in the 1981 film, Endless Love. In 2005, Cruise criticized Shields' use of antidepressant medications to treat postpartum depression. She rebuked him: "[C]omments like those made by Tom Cruise are a disservice to mothers everywhere...If any good can come of Mr. Cruise's ridiculous rant, let's hope that it gives much-needed attention to a serious disease."

Final Words
The Square energy between firstwest and secondwest is perhaps as contrary as any in the Western zodiac. However, while it may sometimes feel as if there is nothing these two cannot disagree about, their disputations can yield great positives, offering rare insight into their individual identities, and producing lifelong benefits. In this case, the greater challenge may be navigating the disturbing energy of the firsteast and secondeast, one of the Chinese zodiac’s most notorious combinations. Clear communication, independent roles in the relationship, and encouraging sensitivity wherever possible may be important for these two, if they are to maximize the available prospects for successful collaboration and affection.
