The combination of Aries and Leo is one of the most celebrated in the entire Western zodiac. Fire might accurately be described as an all-or-nothing element: either dwindling into wisps of smoke, or rising to a glorious blaze. Separately, Aries and Leo can sometimes feel as if they are too much for situations and people, as if they need to restrain themselves to avoid seeming overly bold or ambitious. What a joy it is for each of them to find a match where they can let themselves be free!
Together, these twin Fire signs are truly each other's equal. Aries' Cardinal modality contributes pure idealism and adventurism, the energy of any project in its earliest and most inspiring phase. Leo's complementary Fixed modality offers the steadying, mature influence necessary to translate the visionary aspects of the Fire element into tangible, real-world glories.
No relationship is without complexities, but a pairing between Aries and Leo is close as the Western zodiac provides to a guarantee of happiness, pleasure, and triumph.

Mandy Moore (4/10/1984, Aries Rat), Taylor Goldsmith (8/16/1985, Leo Ox) : The actor and musician married in 2018. In a 2019 Instagram post, Moore wrote, "A year ago I married my favorite person in the world and I still pinch myself over whatever magic brought us into each other’s lives. I am the luckiest for knowing, loving and being loved by you."
Jennifer Garner (4/17/1972, Aries Rat), Ben Affleck (8/15/1972, Leo Rat) : The two actors were married for 13 years from 2005 and had three children together. Said Garner in 2016, "I ran down the beach to him and I would again. You can’t have three babies and so much of what we had. He’s the love of my life. He’s the most brilliant person in any room, the most charismatic, the most generous. He’s just a complicated guy."
Reese Witherspoon (3/22/1976, Aries Dragon), Jim Toth (7/27/1970, Leo Dog) : The actor and talent agent were married from 2011 to 2023, and have a son together. Witherspoon said in 2011, "I got lucky. I did. I got very lucky. He’s so wonderful with the children. I’m very blessed...[U]ntil I got remarried, I don’t think I realized how stressed I was. I feel so much relief. I don’t think I realized how stressed I was being a single parent. It was really, really stressful. It’s not easy on anybody. It’s really traumatic."
Maya Angelou (4/4/1928, Aries Dragon), James Baldwin (8/2/1924, Leo Rat) : The two celebrated writers were close friends for many years. Angelou was famously prompted to begin work on her acclaimed memoir, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, by her publisher telling her an autobiography could not be serious literature. She later described: "I said, ‘Well, hmmm, maybe I’ll try it.’ The truth is that [my publisher] had talked to James Baldwin, my brother friend, and Jimmy told him that ‘if you want Maya Angelou to do something, tell her she can’t do it.’" After the memoir's publication, Baldwin said: "This testimony from a Black sister marks the beginning of a new era in the minds and hearts and lives of all Black men and women."
Martin Short (3/26/1950, Aries Tiger), Steve Martin (8/14/1945, Leo Rooster) : The two actors have collaborated multiple times, from the film Three Amigos (1986) to the TV series Only Murders in the Building (2021-). Short has described: "You know, you make movies and you’re in each other’s lives for a few months, in Yugoslavia or wherever, and then you never see each other again. But Steve and I made each other laugh, and we’re clowns, so that’s a big seductive element. That created a determination to see each other, and then have dinners, and that evolved into taking family vacations together."
Lady Gaga (3/28/1986, Aries Tiger), Tony Bennett (8/3/1926, Leo Tiger) : The two singers memorably recorded two collaborative albums, Cheek to Cheek and Love for Sale (2021). After the latter was nominated for six Grammy awards in 2022, Lady Gaga described: "This album happened because it was Tony's idea and I made him a promise that we would make it and we did. At 95 years old, he has more nominations than ever, I'm so honored to be his companion in music and his friend. Thank you to the public for loving us, we surely love each other, and you. Believe in love and partnership, even with 60 years between us, and Alzheimer's, there is nothing like the magic of music. I love you Tony, and the world loves you too. How could they not?"
John Stockton (3/26/1962, Aries Tiger), Karl Malone (7/24/1963, Leo Rabbit) : The two basketball stars formed one of the most successful duos in NBA history, sharing an 18-year playoff streak with the Utah Jazz and achieving a combined 24 All-Star appearances. Stockton described in 2022: "I felt there was something magical. [Malone] read my mind. He caught everything. He finished everything. He had all my work ethic and then some. He loved the game. Just one thing after another. Just kind of bond, bond, bond, bond to where now he is literally inseparable for me as a brother...[T]here’s nothing I wouldn’t do for Karl Malone, and I think he feels the same way."

Simply a wonderful match!
The central concept underlying Chinese astrology is that of the four Trine Families. One of these families consists of the Rooster and Snake (along with their most trusted friend, the Ox). Binding these signs together is a spirit of social affairs and commerce—an intuition for reading the tea leaves when it comes to any kind of enterprise or business, and a determination to follow through once opportunities are identified. The Rooster and Snake are likely to catch each other's attention at once.
These are two of the most visually engaging signs in the Chinese zodiac, the Rooster with their fashionista's panache, the Snake with their beguiling, mystical allure. But as soon as they get to talking, they are likely to discover an affinity that goes way deeper than appearances. The Rooster's incomparable flair for understanding social dynamics knits beautifully with the Snake's sixth sense for the philosophical side of human affairs. In no time, these two are likely to be sharing and enhancing each other's insightful commentaries about the state of things, in an atmosphere filled with admiration and enjoyment. Arising out of such interactions, there is a strong prospect of clear and productive direction.
Separately, these two can get overly caught up in themselves—both are prone to conceitedness, after all, and the Rooster's tendency towards self-involvement is matched by the Snake's weakness for somewhat miserly self-indulgence. Together, however, not only will these two usually be able to brush off each other's occasionally difficult traits, but they are likely to powerfully motivate one another to translate their talents into actualization and achievement. Not for nothing is the Rooster celebrated for their extraordinary capacities and resourcefulness, and the Snake too can draw on exceptional powers of commitment and concentration when they free themselves from distraction.
Don't be surprised if these two have each other's backs through thick and thin, nor if their relationship proves an enduring source of brilliant accomplishments and intense enjoyment.

Benjamin Millepied (6/10/1977, Gemini Snake), Natalie Portman (6/9/1981, Gemini Rooster) : The actor and dancer met on the set of the film, Black Swan (2010), for which Portman received an Academy Award. They have been married since 2012 and have two children together. Portman has described: "I met my husband on [the set of Black Swan], so I think I was in, like, dreamland … We had a whole, like, he was teaching me to dance. You know, one of those romantic [stories] … It was definitely exciting and fun. It was beautiful. I don't know about instant. It was like I really got to know him and that was when it seemed like, 'Oh this is the person.'"
Elizabeth Hurley (6/10/1965, Gemini Snake), Shane Warne (9/13/1969, Virgo Rooster) : The actor and cricketer were together in the early 2010s and announced a short-lived engagement in 2011. Warne described later: "I was more in love with Elizabeth than I’d realised I could be. I miss the love we had. My years with Elizabeth were the happiest of my life. I wanted to be better with her."
Bob Dylan (5/24/1941, Gemini Snake), Jakob Dylan (12/9/1969, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two musicians are father and son. Wanting to protect the privacy of his legendary father, who in 2016 was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for his songwriting, Jakob Dylan said little about their relationship until 2005. Then, Jakob described: "When I was a kid, he was a god to me for all the right reasons. Other people have put that tag on him in some otherworldly sense. I say it as any kid who admired his dad and had a great relationship with him. He never missed a single Little League game I had. He's collected every home-run ball I ever hit. And he's still affectionate to me. Maybe he doesn't want people to know that. But I'll tell you, because it's my interview."
Kevin James (4/26/1965, Taurus Snake), Ray Romano (12/21/1957, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two comedian/actors lived together before they each achieved success, and later continued to guest-star on each other's long-running TV shows, Everybody Loves Raymond (1996-2005), and The King of Queens (1998-2007). In a joint interview, Romano said: "We bonded over getting turned down for every audition we went on." James added: "We tried to play a lot of golf, because we didn't have a lot of work."
Kanye West (6/8/1977, Gemini Snake), Jay-Z (12/4/1969, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two rappers are longtime friends who have collaborated on multiple occasions, including the tracks "Otis", "Never Let Me Down", "Izzo (H.O.V.A)", "Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Remix)", "Run This Town", "’03 Bonnie & Clyde", "Clique", "Heart of the City (Ain't No Love)", and "Encore". Although the two have faced challenges in their relationship, Jay-Z described: "That’s my brother, we’re beyond friends. Really, like literally, my little brother is Kanye. And like your little brother, things happen sometimes...It’s like that. That’s still your sibling forever. I’ve watched Kanye from without an album. The thing that I respect about him is that he’s the same person. Like, he interrupted our studio session, stood on a table and started rapping. And we were like, ‘Could you please get down,’ and he was like ‘No, I’m the savior of Chicago!’ He didn’t have a record."
Dr. Dre (2/18/1965, Aquarius Snake), Ice Cube (6/15/1969, Gemini Rooster) : The two founding members of the rap group, NWA, formed a close collaboration and friendship in the 1980s. After a period of disputation after NWA broke up, in 2016 they appeared together on stage for the first time in 27 years. Cube described: "We just went forward. We're gonna always be like that. I don't care if we don't talk to each other for 10 years, when we see each other, it's gonna be like yesterday."
Oprah Winfrey (1/29/1954, Aquarius Snake), Ellen DeGeneres (1/26/1958, Aquarius Rooster) : The two talk show hosts are close friends, who are also neighbours in Montecito, California. In a 2021 interview, Winfrey told Degeneres: "[Y]ou have shared yourself, the expression of your talent, in a way that has made people feel so much better about themselves all these years, that is what you’ve done, Ellen. It’s so much more than the show...Every single person in your audience who has been touched by you, by your laughter, by your jokes, by your kindness, by your sharing, by your being, that’s your legacy." Degeneres replied: "I love you so much, Oprah. I am, as I say all the time, I am so honored to call you a friend. You are the wisest person I know and I just adore you."
