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."

SZA and Doja Cat

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."

Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet

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."

Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani

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."

Compatibility overview

Chinese astrology can be unforgiving about matches considered to attract challenging energy. Unfortunately for the firsteast and the secondeast, these two have a difficult reputation for tension, miscommunication, and conflict. This energy will need to be carefully managed.

Among all the combinations in the Chinese zodiac, the six Adversary pairings along the fourth degree axis are the most notorious for unstable energy. The Monkey and Pig are one of these.

The Monkey's defining characteristics are their ingenuity and energy, where the Pig's heart is trusting and faithful. A meeting between these signs can bring forth tensions between openness and guile, dependability and inconstancy, or naivety and manipulation. The Pig may feel as if they are powerless to avoid being made fun of or tripped up. The Monkey may find it impossible not to seem like they are taking advantage of the Pig, even if quite unintentionally.

Undesirable traits may surface for both signs. The Monkey could be prone to deceitfulness, conceit, or power-plays. The Pig could seem disengaged, slothful, or overindulgent. The particular challenge of this Adversary energy is that it is more indirect than direct, so antagonism is more likely to fester than erupt. Dispute resolution can be especially challenging in this context, as both the Monkey and Pig may have the impression that whatever they say, however well-intended, just makes things worse. No astrological energy is insurmountable, of course. Collaborations that capture the contrasting instincts of the Monkey and Pig may be quite fascinating.

With self-awareness and acceptance, counterbalancing positive energy on the Western side, or effective compartmentalization, it may be possible to forge a fulfilling relationship in spite of the troubling undercurrents of this energy.

Danny Trejo (5/16/1944, Taurus Monkey), Edward James Olmos (2/24/1947, Pisces Pig) : Actor Trejo was at one time associated with actor/director Olmos' directorial debut, American Me, about the Mexican mafia. Trejo refused to be involved after he read the script and later asserted that the film caused the deaths of ten people: "I couldn't believe how casual [Olmos] was about details that were so critical...Olmos was like a kid playing with a grenade, thinking the whole time it was a sparkler."

Robert Vaughn (11/22/1932, Sagittarius Monkey), Matthew Vaughn (3/7/1971, Pisces Pig) : The English filmmaker known professionally as Matthew Vaughn grew up thinking that his father was the actor Robert Vaughn. In what a news report referred to as "hideous timing", Robert Vaughn revealed publicly that he was not Matthew's biological father shortly before Matthew's marriage to model/actress Claudia Schiffer in 2002. Matthew has since changed his official name to Matthew de Vere Drummond.

Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer

Michael Douglas (9/25/1944, Libra Monkey), Val Kilmer (12/31/1959, Capricorn Pig) : The two actors were co-stars in The Ghost and the Darkness in 1996. In 2016, Douglas made public statements that Kilmer was battling cancer, which at the time Kilmer denied, saying, "Michael Douglas wrote me a nice note apologizing for suggesting to the press overseas, I wasn't doing too well and was grateful to hear I am doing well." Kilmer has since documented his experience of cancer in a memoir, I'm Your Huckleberry. He referred to Douglas' disclosure on Reddit in 2017, saying: "He was probably trying to help me 'cause press probably asked where I was these days, and I did have a healing of cancer."

Jennifer Aniston (2/11/1969, Aquarius Monkey), Tig Notaro (3/24/1971, Aries Pig) : The two actors starred together in First Ladies, a fictional movie about the first lesbian president of the United States. In an interview between them, Aniston said: "I think it’s incredible to be the first to play something of any kind, but especially a female president who happens to be gay. I think it’s long overdue." Notaro replied: "It is long overdue. People have been waiting a long time to see me and you in a presidential romantic comedy."

Barbara Hershey and Naveen Andrews

Naveen Andrews (1/17/1969, Capricorn Monkey), Barbara Hershey (2/5/1948, Aquarius Pig) : The two actors were together for 12 years, in spite of Hershey being 21 years older. During 2005 they separated briefly, and Andrews fathered a child with another woman. Hershey described Andrews by saying, "Naveen is full of contradictions. He's truly well-read, yet he's very street. He kind of gives off this quality of danger at times, and yet he's very vulnerable. He's extremely serious and he's very funny."

Thom Yorke (10/7/1968, Libra Monkey), Jonny Greenwood (11/5/1971, Scorpio Pig) : The two musicians have been members of Radiohead since 1985 and also recently teamed up for the collaboration The Smile. Greenwood has described how he joined Radiohead: "The rest of the band were basically friends. So it was me following them around and begging them to let me be in their band for two or three years. And they finally let me in on the harmonica, actually, and then the keyboards, and finally the guitar."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The neighborly semi-Sextile connection between firstwest and secondwest usually needs some time to see past their differences and initial nervousness, although in the long term they have quite wonderful potential for support and tenderness. Admittedly, in this case the firsteast and secondeast combination presents a difficult obstacle, often contributing a serious lack of sympathy or understanding. Yet semi-Sextile energy is nothing if not a quiet achiever. With determination and careful strategizing, these two may find that long-term dependability, nourishment, and reward prove less difficult to achieve than they first thought.
