Western Zodiac
Libra and Scorpio
Compatibility overview
As a match between adjacent signs around the Western zodiac wheel, the combination of firstwest and secondwest has not always enjoyed the best reputation. Orthodox astrology suggests that these two may be most comfortable remaining at arm's length, much like real-life neighbors who fear that over-familiarity could backfire in the future. With time, however, these two can prove to be highly effective collaborators, capable of developing a close and deeply supportive bond.

The Semi-Sextile connection shared by next-door signs Libra and Scorpio has traditionally attracted some skepticism. For starters, this is a minor aspect—one of only two (with the Quincunx)—meaning the energy is somewhat indeterminate. This can feel powerfully liberating at times, but it can equally contribute a certain aimlessness to the relationship.
The real uncertainty here, however, stems from the respective elements. Libra is a quintessential Air sign, a devoted explorer of intellectual realms. They sample multitudes of ideas with great enthusiasm, seeking out the most diverse sources they can find, and rarely taking concrete action without extraordinary research and reflection. Scorpio, by contrast, is a profoundly emotional creature, a deeply sensitive yet powerful presence who cannot help but experience life as a spectrum of extreme highs and lows. Early interactions between Libra and Scorpio may thus struggle to find common ground. Libra may find Scorpio much too serious, as if Scorpio's legendary sense of humor is too cutting, and Scorpio's moods generally are claustrophobically brooding and depressing. For Scorpio, on the other hand, Libra may seem altogether too flighty and superficial, as if they flit around annoyingly on the surface of life without ever penetrating the real existential substance that is most important.
This kind of initial wariness means many Libra and Scorpio pairings never progress beyond a respectful distance. If these two signs take the time to understand each other better, however, some marvelously surprising results may occur. Libra's pure Cardinal modality, which emphasizes unbridled creativity and new beginnings, complements perfectly Scorpio's Fixed energy, a driving force towards actualization and productiveness. Mutual projects may have to accommodate the signs' different instincts, but in fact Libra and Scorpio are natural collaborators. Their combined output may be highly creative and original, and gain considerable momentum over time. These signs also have much to learn from each other. Libra, for example, may find that in Scorpio's company they take themselves more seriously and are less likely to procrastinate. Scorpio, meanwhile, can enjoy a break from weighty intensity, and enjoy the kind of effortless sociability and enthusiasm Libra is famous for.
Ultimately, these two may never shake a sense of respectful difference, and independent spheres of activity are probably inevitable. Yet the affinities between Libra and Scorpio may contribute eventually to a dependable, warm, and greatly rewarding bond.

Matt Damon (10/8/1970, Libra Dog), Jimmy Kimmel (11/13/1967, Scorpio Sheep) : Actor Damon and talk show host Kimmel have shared a legendary fake "feud" for almost 20 years, verbally jousting with each other on the show, Jimmy Kimmel Live! (2003-present), and at multiple Academy Awards ceremonies. Their relationship began one night in 2005, when Kimmel ended his show by saying, "Apologies to Matt Damon, but we ran out of time." Damon explained in 2021: "I'd never met Jimmy. He literally pulled my name out of thin air one night...He could've said, you know, George [Clooney] ― he could have said somebody else. But he just, for some reason, maybe I had a movie out that week or something, but he just said my name. And it changed the course of both of our lives. We've kept this feud going for, you know, it's gotta be 15 years now. I've had a lot of fun doing it."
Serena Williams (9/26/1981, Libra Rooster), Ciara (10/25/1985, Scorpio Ox) : Singer Ciara and professional tennis legend Williams share a longstanding close friendship. Ciara described in 2022: "I think the key to our friendship is the fact that when we get together it's not about what we do in our professional lives — it's about being free to experience our authentic selves with each other. The world gets to see her passion for tennis when she's on the court, but behind the scenes she carries that same passion and enthusiasm."
Doja Cat (10/21/1995, Libra Pig), SZA (11/8/1989, Scorpio Snake) : Singer/songwriter SZA and rapper/singer/songwriter Doja Cat share a supportive friendship. They have collaborated on the tracks, "Kiss Me More" (2021), and "Kill Bill" (2023), with the former winning the Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance in 2021. Interviewing Doja Cat in 2021, SZA described: "I really feel like I relate the most to you because...I always felt like I couldn’t fit into anything. That my music isn’t 'Black enough' with 'Drew Barrymore.' Or I’m doing s— that’s strange. I never felt that as a Black girl, I could make music and be in these realms. You make music in all these other realms and make it sound like it touched my inner mind and spirit. It’s like, you’re exactly who I needed when I was in high school [and] college. I just wanted to feel like it’s ok to be an individual that isn’t really planted but is highly mutable and superfluid. Working with you was literally my dream."
Mira Sorvino (9/28/1967, Libra Sheep), Christopher Backus (10/30/1981, Scorpio Rooster) : The two actors have been married since 2004 and have four children. Sorvino described in 2021: "Date nights kids are absolutely essential when you have four children, because so much of your time is spent parenting. You're next to each other, but you're relating to your kids, rather than to each other. So we'll go on date nights where we'll leave the kids with our trusted, wonderful, amazing nanny. We'll go to a hotel somewhere...or maybe we'll go to Beverly Hills, or Venice Beach, or just someplace out of our zone, and just go to a dinner ... so that we get to be a couple, not a couple with children, just for that moment. That's really important."
Kate Winslet (10/5/1975, Libra Rabbit), Leonardo DiCaprio (11/11/1974, Scorpio Tiger) : The two actors share a strong friendship. They famously co-starred in the film, Titanic (1997), and later collaborated again in Revolutionary Road (2008). Winslet described in 2021: "Do you know Leo just turned 47? I turned 21 on that shoot [Titanic], and Leo turned 22...[On hearing that Di Caprio had complained about the arduous Titanic production] I remember! I remember that he was [miserable]! It wasn’t pleasant for any of us, but we were all in it together. Though he had way more days off than I ever bloody did. I guess I was raised to be grateful and just get on with it. I didn’t feel it was my right to be miserable, and if I was miserable I certainly would not have let a journalist know...[About meeting for the first time in three years] I couldn’t stop crying, I’ve known him for half my life! It’s not as if I’ve found myself in New York or he’s been in London and there’s been a chance to have dinner or grab a coffee and a catchup. We haven’t been able to leave our countries. Like so many friendships globally, we’ve missed each other because of Covid. He’s my friend, my really close friend. We’re bonded for life."
Graham Greene (10/2/1904, Libra Dragon), Evelyn Waugh (10/28/1903, Scorpio Rabbit) : The two celebrated British novelists shared a close friendship. Greene wrote in his autobiography, Ways of Escape (1980): "I was for many years puzzled by [Waugh's] reputation for rudeness and cruelty—I must have known him well for nearly a dozen years without seeing any example to justify it. I had even stayed with him several times in the country (a feat regarded as extraordinary by some of his friends) and had seen only an excellent and witty host, one who disguised his own inner torment in drollery rather than disturb his guest...Those who have built Evelyn up as a sort of sacred monster have left out the other side...When I come to die, I shall wish he were beside me, for he would give me no easy comfort."
Gwen Stefani (10/3/1969, Libra Rooster), Gavin Rossdale (10/30/1965, Scorpio Snake) : The two musicians met and began a long-distance relationship when their respective bands—No Doubt (Stefani) and Bush (Rossdale)—toured together in 1995. They were married from 2002 to 2016, and have three children. While they were together, Rossdale reportedly had affairs with Courtney Love and their children's nanny, discovered he had a 15-year-old lovechild, and admitted an affair with the male singer Marilyn in the 1980s. Stefani once said that No Doubt's album, Rock Steady (2001), was "[A]bout how hard it is having a relationship that's not only long-distance but also between two people in different touring rock bands." In 2020, Rossdale said: "It's a lifetime. I still think [Stefani]'s incredible. It was a lovely 20 years and we have three amazing children. There were a lot of positives, and with time they'll become more and more obvious."

Just like the elements in Western astrology, the four Trine Families of the Eastern zodiac are often grouped into two compatible pairs. The families of the Dog (with the Horse and Tiger) and Sheep (with the Pig and Rabbit) make up one of these naturally harmonious pairs. Thus, while the specific match of Dog and Sheep may not be singled out as often as it might be, the underlying energy is deeply supportive.
Early in the relationship, these two can expect to find much they agree about. The Dog, always a tireless champion of causes they believe in, admires the Sheep's creative idealism. The Sheep's love of beauty and aspirational outlook mean they appreciate the Dog's worthy devotion and commitment to hard work. As the relationship develops, there is scope for great emotional depth to develop between these two. Both of these signs are prone to considerable agitation, and for many Dog/Sheep matches, their respective anxieties mean that each can provide the other with invaluable warmth and reassurance.
Sometimes, of course, the sensitivities of these signs may cause trouble. The Dog is known for being blunt on occasion, which can be destabilising for the often thin-skinned Sheep. The Sheep tends to be quite unfiltered in expressing their stresses and need for calm, whereas the Dog prides themselves on appearing resilient. Hence the Dog may sometimes feel embarrassed or exposed by the Sheep's flighty displays. These challenges are often better worked around than dwelled on, and successful pairings between these signs are likely to have a strongly productive and collaborative focus. Make no mistake, however, the scope for mutual admiration and emotional connection between these two is profound indeed. The result can be a powerful bond for life.

Joni Mitchell (11/7/1943, Scorpio Sheep), Charles Mingus (4/22/1922, Taurus Dog) : Singer/songwriter Mitchell and bassist/composer Mingus created a daring and unexpected collaboration with Mitchell's album, Mingus (1979), which was recorded during Mingus' final months before he died early in 1979. Mitchell wrote in the liner notes, "The first time I saw [Mingus'] face it shone up at me with a joyous mischief. I liked him immediately. I had come to New York to hear six new songs he had written for me. I was honored! I was curious! It was as if I had been standing by a river – one toe in the water – feeling it out – and Charlie came by and pushed me in – 'sink or Swim' – him laughing at me dog paddling around in the currents of black classical music. Time never ticked so loudly for me as it did this last year. I wanted Charlie to witness the project's completion. He heard every song but one...This was a difficult but challenging project. I was trying to please Charlie and still be true to myself. I cut each song three or four times. I was after something personal – something mutual – something indescribable."
Angus Young (3/31/1955, Aries Sheep), Bon Scott (7/9/1946, Cancer Dog) : Guitarist Young and singer Scott were the two most prominent members of the rock band, AC/DC, before Scott's tragic death in 1980. Young described in 2011: "[Scott was] [p]robably too friendly to a lot of people. He had no airs and graces about him, probably because he was a drummer at heart. When he got into music, that's what he wanted to do. In fact, when he joined the band, he said, 'I want to play drums.' ...[H]e was a good drummer. It showed in his character, because he saw himself as just another member of the band. He didn't have this lead singer attitude of, 'I have to be at the front, all the time. I'm the singer. I'm the star. I get the chicks.'...Sure[, we fed off each other's energy]. He could get you sometimes. Some of the things he did, I would simply say, 'Hey now, there's no way I'm doing that.' He was very gymnastic for some reason, perhaps because of the way he was built, and he could easily climb up a P.A. tower and jump off it -- and he’d usually try and drag me with him! He’d be going, 'Jump! Now!' My knees would be shaking and I’d say, 'You’ve got to give me a few seconds to get my nerve up, man.'"
Philip Seymour Hoffman (7/23/1967, Leo Sheep), Paul Thomas Anderson (6/26/1970, Cancer Dog) : The actor and director collaborated on multiple occasions. Although Anderson has said he "knew what love at first sight was" after seeing Hoffman on screen in Scent of a Woman (1992), for many years he cast Hoffman in minor character roles—in Hard Eight (1996), Boogie Nights (1997), Magnolia (1999), and Punch-Drunk Love (2002)—before Hoffman's Oscar-nominated supporting performance in The Master (2012). Anderson has described: "Believe me, when I was a kid, you sort of draw out movie cameras and sets, at like 8 or 9 years old, and nowhere in it did I draw anything that looked like [Hoffman], you know. [Laughs] I thought like Cary Grant would be in my movie or Harrison Ford, but something happened when I saw him."
Blue Hamilton (11/27/1979, Sagittarius Sheep), Matt Dallas (10/21/1982, Libra Dog) : The actor and record producer have been married since 2015 and share two children together. They have become prominent advocates for the foster to adopt program in the US. Dallas has explained: "Early on in our relationship, we both were so career focused living here in Los Angeles. When we moved to Phoenix full time, we both realized we were missing a child in our family...[O]nce we learned that there is about 20,000 kids in Arizona’s foster system... once we started reading the stories of all these kids… learning how so many of them age out of the foster system, and so many of them go on to not even have families; it is really heart-breaking. We just knew that we were going to foster and adopt."
Iman (7/25/1955, Leo Sheep), David Bowie (1/8/1947, Capricorn Dog) : The model and legendary musician were married from 1992 until his death in 2016 and shared a daughter together. Speaking in 2021, Iman described: "I still feel married. Someone a few years ago referred to David as my late husband and I said 'No, he's not my late husband. He's my husband.' Through my memory, my love lives."
Rose Byrne (7/24/1979, Leo Sheep), Seth Rogen (4/15/1982, Aries Dog) : The two actors share a strong friendship, and have worked together multiple times, including the films Neighbors (2014) and Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (2016), and the series, Platonic (2023). Describing their collaboration on Platonic, Byrne said: "[The show] lives and dies on the friendship and the chemistry of the two people. And I knew that it had to be Seth [to play her longtime platonic friend in the show]. And it just was a question of whether he would or not, and convince him, but he was immediately on board, so it was wonderful...The dynamic is just intuitive. And we realized that day one, like, ‘Oh, yeah, all right. We can do these things, but we can't do these things.’ It was an opportunity to discover different ways [from the Neighbors films] to find the comedy."
Georg Stanford Brown (6/24/1943, Cancer Sheep), Tyne Daly (2/21/1946, Pisces Dog) : The two actors were married for 24 years, from 1966 to 1990. Asked about their "interracial" marriage in 1985, Daly was quoted as saying, "I gave up categories a long time ago. In fact, when we did [our daughter] Alyxandra's birth certificate, under 'race,' we put 'human'; under 'sex' we put 'yes'; and under ethnic origin we put 'citizen of the world.' I have a good and interesting marriage that has gone on for quite some time and he's an interesting fellow and we have some fascinating young children."
