Compatibility overview

The combination of firstwest and secondwest is as favorable as any in the Western zodiac. Not only are they likely to share essential qualities and perspectives, but their differences can be beautifully complementary. In whatever arena these two meet, their shared energy provides as strong a foundation as any for collaboration, pleasure, and reliability.

The major synergy between the Western and Chinese zodiacs is the pride of place afforded to Trine matches, where signs are three steps apart. For Gemini and Libra, their Trine connection means they share the element of Air, meaning an emphasis on intellectual and social matters, and a lively, enthusiastic attitude. These two signs are likely to bond almost immediately, appealing to each other with spirited conversation, and a shared fascination with cerebral subjects and witty expression.

Gemini, of course, is the zodiac's great traveler, with a naturally insatiable appetite for ideas, places, and identities. But Libra represents a similar emphasis on the journey rather than the destination, given their instinctive desire to digest all aspects of subjects and pathways before settling on a way forward. Hence this is a connection destined to deepen with every opportunity. Where other signs might find Gemini fickle or Libra procrastinating, together these two will deeply appreciate the brilliant vitality and rich complexity of each other's wide-ranging frames of reference. For Gemini, Libra's broad compass will likely seem invaluable to the kinds of identity-related questions that are most fundamental to their way of seeing the world. For Libra, meanwhile, Gemini's natural preference for ranging across subjects rather than diving deeply means they are rarely forced into decisions or actions they do not feel ready for.

Shared projects—including the relationship itself—derive maximum benefit from the perfectly compatible modalities here. Gemini's Mutable energy, with its emphasis on consequences and implications, operates as a natural extension to the more inception-oriented influence of Libra's Cardinal sign. Few alliances will find such pure joy in simply talking and amusing each other as these two endlessly charming, gregarious souls.

Blessed fortune does not conclusively determine relationship prospects, of course, but under the right conditions this is simply a spectacular combination for pleasurable fulfillment through thick and thin, irrespective of the context.

Paul McCartney and John Lennon

Paul McCartney (6/18/1942, Gemini Horse), John Lennon (10/9/1940, Libra Dragon) : As founding members of The Beatles, the two musicians shared a close friendship, and formed perhaps the most famous songwriting partnership in history. In one of his last interviews, months before his assassination in 1980, Lennon described: "Well, you could say that [McCartney] provided a lightness, an optimism, while I would always go for the sadness, the discords, a certain bluesy edge...Paul had a lot of training, could play a lot of instruments. He'd say, 'Well, why don't you change that there? You've done that note 50 times in the song.' You know, I'll grab a note and ram it home. Then again, I'd be the one to figure out where to go with a song... a story that Paul would start. In a lot of the songs, my stuff is the middle-eight, the bridge...I always had an easier time with lyrics, though Paul is quite a capable lyricist who doesn't think he is... [A] lot of the songs we did eyeball to eyeball."

Cillian Murphy (5/25/1976, Gemini Dragon), Yvonne McGuinness (10/12/1972, Libra Rat) : The actor and artist have been married since 2004 and have two children together. Referring to the play and film Disco Pigs, which he starred in from 1996 to 2001, Murphy described: "That time, making Disco Pigs, was kind of the most important period of my life. The people I met there remain my closest friends...They shaped me in terms of my tastes, in terms of what I wanted to do with my life. And it was around the same time I met my wife. She came on tour with us. It was so exciting, 20 years ago or whatever it was – we were all just kids, trying to find our way – but such a special, special time."

Matthew Koma and Hilary Duff

Matthew Koma (6/2/1987, Gemini Rabbit), Hilary Duff (9/28/1987, Libra Rabbit) : The actor/singer Duff and singer/songwriter Koma have been together since 2016, and married in 2019. They have two children and share custody of Duff's child from a previous relationship. Duff posted in 2020, "Bubba, thanks for forcing me to go on that walk with you today (last year) I love you so much♥️...I will always choose sandwiches and 8 pm bedtimes over fancy date nights …. over and over again. My best friend, lover, and papa bear that cannot be rivaled…it’s always been you."

Laurie Metcalf (6/16/1955, Gemini Sheep), Zoe Perry (9/26/1984, Libra Rat) : The mother and daughter are actors who have also collaborated multiple times, including playing the same character at different ages in the show, Young Sheldon (2017-present). In a joint interview in 2018, Perry described: "For me, just thinking back to the first time we got to share a stage together when we did [The] Other Place [on Broadway, from December 2012 to March 2013] — it was such a lucky experience for me because I know what [Metcalf's] capable of. To get to rehearse with her and experience that side of it with her was just such a treat because she's such a pro and she's also really generous and she's also immensely respectful...I mean, you can't separate your own relationship, but she kind of managed to in a very loving way and I appreciated that." Metcalf said, "I also like the fact that Zoe and I are peers now in what we do...Now I have another peer in the family that I can turn to and get advice from."

Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas

Kathleen Turner (6/19/1954, Gemini Horse), Michael Douglas (9/25/1944, Libra Monkey) : The two actors displayed legendary chemistry when they appeared together in the films, Romancing the Stone (1984), The Jewel of the Nile (1985), and The War of the Roses (1989), and later the TV series, The Kominsky Method (2018-2021). In her memoir, Send Yourself Flowers (2008), Turner recalled about making Romancing the Stone: "For a time, I was sure I was falling in love with Michael. And I think he was falling in love with me. I was certainly inspired to portray [the character] Joan’s accelerated sexual awareness by working with Michael...[But] I saw that Michael wasn’t free to pursue another relationship. We couldn’t keep the romance. But we kept our friendship. Michael always says very nice things about me...as well he should. Michael and I did some very challenging scenes together. The mutual trust and the emotional connection we’ve always had enabled us to take on whatever hair-raising perils were necessary...Oh, yeah, there’s a little competition. Just a touch. Come on, wimp. Yeah. Oh, come on, Michael, I’ll do it. I’ll show you. But oh, God, the laughs."

Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony

Carmelo Anthony (5/29/1984, Gemini Rat), Kevin Durant (9/29/1988, Libra Dragon) : The two NBA basketball stars share a close friendship. Durant described in 2016: "[Anthony's] a real bro. That’s my guy. I’ve looked up to Carmelo since I was 15 years old. I wanted to be Carmelo. And once I got the opportunity to hang around him and get to know him a little deeper, coming into the Draft, I asked him for advice here and there and it just made things… it made the relationship even smoother." Anthony has said, "I’ve always heard that, from people back home...I’ve always heard that KD looked up to me. Now, I look at him as my peer. I don’t look at him as a guy who looked up to me. I respect that. It’s just hard, man, to see, to know, for me to fathom the fact that one of the greatest players in the world looks up to me, even now. It’s crazy — he looks up to me and I respect him and honor him, his game and his work ethic. That’s something that I appreciate about him."

Dragon and Dog

Compatibility overview

Chinese astrologers are well known for unflinching assessments of relationships they believe do not attract good fortune. That is certainly the case with the match between Dog and Dragon, one of the six famous Opposites. In short, this relationship has a notorious reputation for hostility and tension. Nevertheless, there is more to the story here, as the prospects are by no means exclusively bad.

The infamous reputation of the Opposite matches in the Chinese zodiac stems from the directly opposed energy between them. Negative traits tend to be constantly amplified. In the case of the Dog and Dragon, the faithful Dog is apt to get caught between fawning infatuation and deep-seated anxiety. The Dragon is likely to exploit cruelty and criticism to get the attention they crave.

Probably the greatest problem is the potential lack of respect. The Dog's well-earned reputation for hard work and loyalty may seem wasteful and weak in the eyes of the proud Dragon. Meanwhile, the Dragon's incomparable flare and drive could strike the Dog as lacking substance—as well as ignoring, even bullying, those less fortunate.

When these two find themselves in partnership, whatever the context, it can be helpful to keep these essential differences in mind. Ultimately, they each supply universal energy that the other does not have. While perhaps unsympathetic as between them, the result can be awesomely powerful. This is a pairing that can dominate social, business, or political circles, sporting arenas, indeed the world at large. But they are likely to need a range of more congenial allies, too, if they are to maintain patience with one another for an extended length of time.

Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump

Vladimir Putin (10/7/1952, Libra Dragon), Donald Trump (6/14/1946, Gemini Dog) : The relationship between President Trump of the US and President Putin of Russia was a source of much fascination during the former's term in the Oval Office. In the US, the apparent friendliness between the two—historically unprecedented between Russian and American leaders—drew criticism from Democrats and even some Republicans.

Harvey Weinstein (3/19/1952, Pisces Dragon), Steven Spielberg (12/18/1946, Sagittarius Dog) : The celebrated film director and now-infamous producer already shared a fraught relationship long before Weinstein's conviction as a sex offender. The tension between them resulted in two competing movie projects about the kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara, as well as a confrontation over Shakespeare in Love defeating Saving Private Ryan for the 1999 Best Picture Oscar. "When I saw Spielberg later, I don’t think it was a lovefest," Weinstein said about the incident. "That was a tough one."

Jeb Bush and George W. Bush

Jeb Bush (2/11/1953, Aquarius Dragon), George W. Bush (7/6/1946, Cancer Dog) : The two brothers, part of the Bush political dynasty and respectively a former US President and Governor of Florida, have famously shared a fractious but formally supportive relationship. A cousin described in a published memoir that, "When they were young, Jeb was just somebody for George to torture."

Orlando Bloom (1/13/1977, Capricorn Dragon), Justin Bieber (3/1/1994, Pisces Dog) : The singer and actor made headlines after an altercation between them in Ibiza, Spain. Footage of the event appeared to show Bloom throwing a chair at Bieber.

Nicki Minaj and Rihanna

Rihanna (2/20/1988, Pisces Dragon), Nicki Minaj (12/8/1982, Sagittarius Dog) : These two legendary entertainers collaborated together on tracks including "Fly" and "Raining Men" in 2010. After years of a rumoured feud and apparently unfollowing each other on social media, they reunited in 2021.

Chelsea Noble (12/4/1964, Sagittarius Dragon), Kirk Cameron (10/12/1970, Libra Dog) : The two actors married in 1991 and have six children (four of whom are adopted). They met on the set of the TV show, Growing Pains (1985-1992). They have since starred together in films including A Little Piece of Heaven (1991) and Mercy Rule (2014), and several times Noble has played an uncredited "kissing double", as Cameron is an Evangelical Christian who refuses to kiss a woman who is not his wife. Noble has described: "We've learned that we have to be respectful fo each other's need for personal space. On the set, we have separate dressing rooms, and sometimes that's where we find personal time. Because of our friendship, we can say 'I need a little space' or 'I need some time alone,' and we respect that, instead of taking it personally...Instead of taking our frustrations out on each other, we've learned how to best work through things. We don't walk away from each other, or run to separate work places. We face each other and work things out."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The Trine match of firstwest and secondwest is one of the most illustrious in the Western zodiac, a delightfully enriching influence conducive to effortlessly close collaboration and great personal fulfillment. The Chinese zodiac match, however, is a far cry from this natural harmony—firsteast and secondeast share a take-no-prisoners, at times savagely combative opposition, potentially filled with explosive disagreements. The key to this relationship may be channeling the potent firsteast/secondeast combination into arresting and revolutionary achievements—something the Trine energy of firstwest/secondwest may ably equip them to do.
