Libra and Libra

Compatibility overview

The secure and tender connection between two natives of Libra can be one of the most promising shared-energy combinations in the Western zodiac. As ever with own-sign matches, a surplus of some qualities and dearth of others is likely to cause imbalances. But mutual support and camaraderie comes naturally to this contemplative, judicious pairing.

All own-sign combinations in the Western zodiac share the same beneficial element, which for two Libras is the lively, cerebral influence of Air. Right from the start, these two are likely to be attracted by their mutual love of diverse concepts and possibilities.

Two Libra natives will tend to admire greatly each other's enthusiasm, insight, and receptiveness. Libra's favorite time in any project is usually the formative stage, when options are at their most abundant and inchoate, hence for both parties this relationship may transition enticingly from one world of possibility to the next. The fine art of conversation will rarely seem so enjoyable as when they push each other to consider every angle, their extended sessions of intellectual exploration conducted with freedom, generosity, and acceptance, all the while increasing their closeness and mutual admiration.

Of course, own-sign matches must also deal with a shared modality, which in this case is the pure Cardinal energy associated with beginnings and inception. This energy may enhance the immediate sense of kinship between two Libras when they meet, but over time it can also lead to a growing sense of stagnation, of going around in circles rather than making meaningful progress. Without the influence of a balancing modality, dispute resolution might also prove challenging—like all Air signs, Libra has the potential to be bitingly critical or judgmental when frustrated. This pair would be well advised to make a conscious effort to stay nimble and creative, re-inventing aspects of their relationship as and when they feel fatigued, and giving each other space to recover from periods of intense collective brainstorming.

If they do not overwhelm each other, the sense of solidarity two Libras share may ultimately prove their greatest strength, contributing lasting warmth and belonging to their dynamic.

Douglas Emhoff and Kamala Harris

Kamala Harris (10/20/1964, Libra Dragon), Douglas Emhoff (10/13/1964, Libra Dragon) : The 49th Vice President of the US and her entertainment lawyer husband have been married since 2014. Harris is stepmother to Emhoff's two children from a previous marriage. In 2021, Emhoff wrote about campaigning together: "Before long, something clicked. This wasn’t just her work anymore — it was ours. As the campaign took us to different corners of the country, I took notes on what I heard out on the trail and shared them with Kamala over late night meals and stolen moments between events...I found that as I began dipping my toe into Kamala’s world, it brought us even closer together. I realized how much of yourself you leave on the trail, how much these stories weigh on you, and—though I couldn’t imagine it possible before this—I grew to understand and admire who she is and what she’s been able to accomplish even more. She had such a tremendous weight on her shoulders, and we were in a fight for the soul of this nation—together."

John Coltrane (9/23/1926, Libra Tiger), Thelonious Monk (10/10/1917, Libra Snake) : The two legends of jazz music shared a supportive and collaborative friendship. Their work together included the album, Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane (1961), and the live recording, Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall (recorded 1957, released 2005). Coltrane explained in 1960: "Working with Monk brought me close to a musical architect of the highest order. I felt I learned from him in every way—through the senses, theoretically, technically. I would talk to Monk about musical problems and he would sit at the piano and show me the answers just by playing them...[Monk] also got me into the habit of playing long solos on his pieces, playing the same piece for a long time to find new conceptions of solos. It got so I would go as far as possible on one phrase until I ran out of ideas. The harmonies got to be an obsession for me."

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas

Catherine Zeta-Jones (9/25/1969, Libra Rooster), Michael Douglas (9/25/1944, Libra Monkey) : The two actors share one of Hollywood's highest profile relationships. They married in 2000, and have two children. After a much-publicized but brief separation in 2013, they reconciled. Douglas described in 202: "We celebrated our 18th anniversary recently, and besides the genuine love that only continues to grow, I think the fact that we're in the same industry really helps us to understand what is going on...The joy of my marriage with Catherine and having our children at a point in my life where my career had been developed, allowed me much more time to enjoy my family."

Barbara Walters and Joy Behar

Barbara Walters (9/25/1929, Libra Snake), Joy Behar (10/7/1942, Libra Horse) : The two media personalities co-starred on the successful talk show founded by Walters, The View (1997-present). Walters reportedly selected Behar at the outset because, "She’s funny, intelligent and well-informed. I chose Joy because we wanted the show to be entertaining." After Walters died in 2022, Behar said, "[Walters is] very much the role model for a lot of people in showbiz and the news world for sure. She had a work ethic you couldn’t deny. She was always prepared and she was always working on her material. She never went out there and didn’t know what she was doing...She could have a laugh, have fun, tell a dirty joke. She was a lot of fun. We were pals. We’ve had a lot of laughs on camera and off camera."

A$AP Rocky and A$AP Ferg

A$AP Ferg (10/20/1988, Libra Dragon), A$AP Rocky (10/3/1988, Libra Dragon) : The two rappers are two of the highest-profile members of the hip hop collective, A$AP ("Always Strive And Prosper"). They have collaborated multiple times, including on the tracks, "Shabba" (2013), "Ghetto Symphony" (2013), "Work REMIX" (2013), "Hella Hoes" (2014), "New Level" (2015), "Runnin" (2018), and "Pups" (2019). A$AP Ferg described in 2019: "I don’t know everybody’s relationship with Rocky, but I got a real relationship with Rocky...Some people just think we don’t f— with each other sometimes, because they don’t see us together and s—. Like, no, we have a real relationship and s—. Regardless if I was A$AP or not, that’s my brother. That’s my brother... Nobody can’t talk to him about what we’re going through the way I can. Nobody else on the team can really have certain conversations with Rocky except for me, because I’ve experienced certain things on a certain level. Also, nobody on the outside is close enough to talk to Rocky the way I talk to him. So I’m talking to him like, 'You good? How’s the family?' Just everything. His home being invaded, and just, everything...We spend time together, too. I spent time at his crib. We were working out and was chilling for like two weeks together. He came to Harlem and stayed at my crib. He stayed for about a week. We make it happen and I always make sure my brother is good."

Compatibility overview

The match between the firsteast and the secondeast has a lower profile than some other combinations in Chinese astrology, but there is potential for a strong relationship here. Occasional unevenness is likely, with pragmatism advisable from time to time. However, strong mutual respect and compatible work ethics can help to ensure happiness and success.

The theory of the Chinese zodiac depends primarily on the four Trine Families, similar to the elements in Western astrology. Truth be told, the families of the Dog (with the Horse and Tiger) and the Monkey (with the Dragon and Rat) are not thought of as especially harmonious. In fact there are some difficult matches among this group (e.g., the Dog and Dragon, or the Monkey and Tiger). The Dog and Monkey thus have to depend on their individual characters, rather than the blessings of mystical energy, to make their relationship work.

Happily these two have important values in common. The Dog prides themselves on supporting people and causes they believe are deserving. Given that the Monkey is known around the world for their genius talents and spirited energy, the Dog will tend to be impressed immediately. The Monkey aspires to great feats of imagination and ingenuity, so the Dog's devotion and capacity for hard work can be at once inspiring and grounding. Especially early in the relationship, these areas of compatibility may lead to considerable excitement. Over time, this connection may mature into real emotional depth. For all their gifts, the Monkey is prone to isolation, disappointment, or boredom. The Dog can be a trusted and dependable ally when the going is tough. The Dog, too, is more vulnerable to anxiety than they appear, and the Monkey's charms may prove to be a delightful and supportive distraction.

The tendency of both of these signs to experience depression or stress at times can be a source of tension between them as well. The Dog may be unsettled by the Monkey's rapid changes in mood. If the Monkey's patience is tested, they may look for amusement and inspiration elsewhere, which can make the Dog feel lonely and nervous. Contrasting moral outlooks may also be an issue. The Dog usually adheres to a quite rigid value system, where the Monkey's ethical instincts tend to be as fluid and creative as the rest of their personality. Hence the Dog may find the Monkey sometimes too fickle for comfort. Conversely, the Monkey might see the Dog from time to time as single or closed minded in their thinking. Navigating these challenges may be difficult from time to time, but in the right circumstances these two signs can agree so strongly about the "big picture" that their collaboration remains solid. In that case, this relationship may prove nourishing and effective, long into the future.

Anthony Bourdain and Roy Choi

Anthony Bourdain (6/25/1956, Cancer Monkey), Roy Choi (2/24/1970, Pisces Dog) : The two celebrity chefs were close friends, with Choi appearing on episodes of Bourdain's series, The Layover (2011-2013), and Parts Unknown (2013-2018). Bourdain wrote about Choi for Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in 2016, "Chef, activist, film producer, restaurateur and author of a superb memoir, L.A. Son: My Life, My City, My Food, Roy Choi has put it all on the line to improve the quality of life for people few others seem to care about. It’s not a pose, it’s not a cause: it’s who he is." Choi described in 2013 about their first meeting, "[W]e connected mid-conversation like we knew each other from an alternate life."

Jennifer Flavin (8/14/1968, Leo Monkey), Sylvester Stallone (7/6/1946, Cancer Dog) : The actor and entrepreneur dated from 1988 to 1994, and later married in 1997. They have three children. In 1991, Stallone said, "When we come together, it is wonderful. When we are separate, there are no strings attached. That’s the way it is. No strings." He famously broke up with Flavin by letter in 1995. In 2021, Stallone described: "I’ve never had more fun. I learned that from my wife... It took me 19 years to realize she’s always right. I realized that women have a knack, at least Jennifer, for making incredibly erudite, wise, smart decisions. I always leap without looking. She always looks and never leaps. She’s incredibly safe. So now finally, I say: 'Honey, you make all the decisions. Done, done, done. I trust you.' I never had that before. Ever."

George Lucas (5/14/1944, Taurus Monkey), Steven Spielberg (12/18/1946, Sagittarius Dog) : The two film-makers are longtime friends and colleagues, who famously collaborated on the Indiana Jones movies. Lucas has described: "I showed [Star Wars] to all of my friends early on, but it was mostly filled with stock footage of old war movies and all kinds of stuff. They saw it and said, 'Poor George. What were you thinking?' Steven [Spielberg] had jumped up, and said, 'This is going to be the biggest movie of all time.' Everybody in the room looked up at Steven and said, ‘Poor Steven.'"

Andy Garcia (4/12/1956, Aries Monkey), Marivi Lorido Garcia (4/19/1958, Aries Dog) : The actor and film producer have been married since 1982 and have four children together. They became engaged before Garcia achieved his significant success as an actor. Garcia has spoken several times about how quickly they formed a strong bond. On one occasion he said, "It was love at first sight. I always knew I would marry [Marivi]." On another, he commented, "I proposed to her on the first date and she said yes."

Shirley MacLaine and Elizabeth Taylor

Elizabeth Taylor (2/27/1932, Pisces Monkey), Shirley MacLaine (4/24/1934, Taurus Dog) : The two iconic actors were lifelong friends, who met in their early 20s. After Taylor died in 2011, Maclaine described: "In recent years, I would go up to Elizabeth's home all the time to make sure she was exercising or I would send someone else to make her get in the pool. She was not a fan of exercise, so most of the time we would end up taking out her jewellery and just looking at it in the sunlight...She was so much more down to earth than you would imagine. I miss her deep, deep humanity – something you don't find very often. And, of course, her humour. We wanted to make fun of the world together. Not to look down on it, though. We just watched."

Adrian Edmondson (1/24/1957, Aquarius Monkey), Jennifer Saunders (7/6/1958, Cancer Dog) : The two comedians/actors first met in a strip club. They have been married since 1985 and have three children together. Edmonson has recounted: "I tried to propose on horseback. Jennifer likes horses so I thought that would be a good idea. The only fault with the plan was that I can’t ride. I didn’t quite fall off, but I didn’t get round to proposing either, until we sat down to dinner."

Viggo Mortensen and Ariadna Gil

Ariadna Gil (1/23/1969, Aquarius Monkey), Viggo Mortensen (10/20/1958, Libra Dog) : The two popular actors have famously avoided the limelight but became partners around 2008/2009. Both have children from previous marriages.

T.I. (9/25/1980, Libra Monkey), Lil Wayne (9/27/1982, Libra Dog) : The two rappers collaborated multiple times in the early 2000s, including on the "Swagger Like Us" remix with Kanye West, "We Takin Over" with DJ Khaled, and "Soldier" with Destiny’s Child. After a falling out around 2016, they reconciled to perform together at the Dreamville Festival in 2022. Lil Wayne told the audience, "[W]hen I pulled up, I heard the [expletive] King on stage when I pulled up. Shout out to the [expletive] King T.I. You already know what it is. That’s my real [expletive] brother right there. That’s my [expletive] daughter’s uncle; y’all don’t even understand, man."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The combination of two firstwest natives gives this relationship the dependable bedrock of a shared element, even if overfamiliarity sometimes causes a lack of excitement or makes dispute resolution difficult. The energy between the firsteast and secondeast involves perhaps a little more hesitation, but these signs can greatly admire each other, and with sensitivity and respect are likely to forge a supportive and lasting connection.
