Trine matches are often said to be the Universe's favorites, the most propitious blend of similarity and difference there can be. Aquarius and Libra are both Air signs, so they share a natural inclination towards conceptual and social matters.

Early conversations are likely to be delightfully convivial. Air signs can be somewhat fickle or acerbic when stressed, but these two kindred spirits should be able to steer effortlessly away from any hints of unpleasantness. Libra's patient judiciousness and wide-eyed enthusiasm are likely to appeal immediately to the intellectual Aquarius. Meanwhile, Aquarius' concern for universal truths will resonate deeply with Libra's lifelong quest to improve their self-knowledge and decision-making. Given an opportunity to grow together, however, these two may discover that the tantalizing possibilities of early meetings were if anything an underestimate of their true potential.

Air signs are accustomed to finding social interaction relatively easy. Yet the modalities here are beautifully aligned. The Cardinal energy of Libra represents the Air element at its most pure, and this eager intellectualism forms a natural complement to Aquarius' Fixed energy, with its focus on achieving real and lasting wisdom. Traits that can cause problems in other contexts, such as the unorthodoxy of Aquarius or the irrepressibility of Libra, will in this relationship not merely be tolerated but hugely appreciated. Indeed, these compatible souls may come to feel as if with each other they can truly be themselves, their connection growing ever stronger the more they surrender to vulnerability and intimacy.

Whatever the context, and whether for brief or enduring periods of time, this connection offers to enrich both parties' lives long into the future.

Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta

Olivia Newton-John (9/26/1948, Libra Rat), John Travolta (2/18/1954, Aquarius Horse) : The two actors displayed legendary on-screen chemistry in Grease and developed a lasting friendship. Asked about why they did not become involved romantically, Newton-John explained, "I think it was good, because I think it kept the tension there and the chemistry. It might have been a real disaster had we decided to date, or we had a falling out or something. So, I think it was just as well that it didn’t happen. But we’re still great friends." Travolta has revealed that he advocated for Newton-John to be cast in the role, saying, "There was only one person on this planet I could see as Sandy, and that person was Olivia Newton-John. I told the producers."

Jason Alexander (9/23/1959, Libra Pig), Daena E. Title (2/14/1957, Aquarius Rooster) : The actor and actor/artist have been married since 1981 and have two children together. Alexander has described their courtship, saying, "I had $1000 to my name and for our first date, I wasn’t sure what she would want to do, so I took out all the money from my bank account." They moved in together three weeks later.

Jack Lemmon and Felicia Farr

Felicia Farr (10/4/1932, Libra Monkey), Jack Lemmon (2/8/1925, Aquarius Ox) : The two actors from Hollywood's Golden Age were married from 1962 until Lemmon's death in 2001. Quoted in Michael Freedland's biography, Jack Lemmon, Lemmon described: "Before I met [Felicia], I never got angry. I was all bottled up, constricted, emotionally. She opened me up. For the first time in my life I could get violently mad and I could feel an attraction that I had never felt for any human being. She is so alive, so open to everything. She drew me out of myself. She made me care—about poverty, about politics, about the rotten air we breathe."

Sacha Baron Cohen (10/13/1971, Libra Pig), Isla Fisher (2/3/1976, Aquarius Dragon) : The actor and actor/comedian were together from around 2001 until 2023. They married in 2010 and have three children. Fisher has described: "Maybe I'm sick and twisted, but I tend to find [Cohen] really funny. He always surprises me in the best possible way. I'm proud of him for taking risks and putting himself out there as an artist. I think once we start censoring everything, well, what will there be left to look forward to?"

Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg

Snoop Dogg (10/20/1971, Libra Pig), Dr. Dre (2/18/1965, Aquarius Snake) : The two rappers share a close friendship. They famously collaborated on Dre's debut solo album, The Chronic (1992), which proved to be a catalyst for both of their later successes. Dre described in 2018: "Back in the day, Snoop came to me at a very low point in my life. I had no money for food. I didn't even have furniture in my house...Snoop is always there for me, ready to work, and constantly motivating and pushing me and making me believe I could do it. I mean, I could always hear his voice in my head...I cannot imagine where I'd be in my life if I had not collaborated with Snoop...[We] became family...We always show up for each other no matter what that is. Just imagine having a person like that in your life for almost 30 years."

John Mayer (10/16/1977, Libra Snake), Jennifer Aniston (2/11/1969, Aquarius Monkey) : The actor and musician formed a high-profile couple during the late 2000s and have continued to speak fondly about each other. Aniston has described, "It’s funny when you hit a place in a relationship and you both realise, we maybe need to do something else, but you still really, really love each other. It’s painful...I deeply, deeply care about him; we talk, we adore one another. And that’s where it is." Mayer asked an interviewer, "Have you ever loved somebody, loved her completely, but had to end the relationship for life reasons?"

At its heart, Chinese astrology is about four Trine Families. One such family comprises the Ox and Snake (with their close ally the Rooster). The energy that unites these two emphasises determination, perseverance, and sharp acumen.

The Ox is likely to be deeply impressed by the Snake's philosophical outlook, and being typically self-assured, the Ox is comfortable allowing themselves to be seduced by the Snake's other-worldly allure. The Snake, meanwhile, is instinctively drawn to the sense of security and strength of will that defines the Ox. Hence these two are natural partners, the Ox's legendary stubbornness interweaving beautifully with the Snake's patience and occasional guile. Together, they share deeply-held values around the importance of home, privacy, and duty. Indeed, as a pair they might occasionally be accused of a certain inflexibility, given the strength of their shared convictions, which other signs with less forceful energy may find challenging to navigate.

The ability of the Ox and Snake to work as a team, calmly anticipating and evaluating opportunities, then driving success with incredible reserves of physical and intellectual power, is perhaps unrivalled in all of astrology. As good as this relationship is in times of plenty, it is often even stronger in the face of adversity—which may be its greatest quality of all.

George Clooney has described: "The truth was I met this amazing woman, and she took my breath away. She was brilliant and funny and beautiful and kind. I was sort of swept off my feet."

Nas (9/14/1973, Virgo Ox), Dr. Dre (2/18/1965, Aquarius Snake) : Collaborations between these two Hip-Hop greats have been credited with helping to ease tensions during the East Coast/West Coast rap rivalry during the 1990s.

Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell

Finneas O'Connell (7/30/1997, Leo Ox), Billie Eilish (12/18/2001, Sagittarius Snake) : The singer/songwriter and singer/songwriter/producer are sister and brother. The two have collaborated extensively, notably on Eilish's hugely successful and multi-award-winning albums When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019) and Happier Than Ever (2021). In a joint interview, Connell described: "Then we were like, 'Let’s make some songs,' that kind of casual thing turned into this more serious thing, and so we had this excuse to see each other all the time. Most of the people that I’m closest to have a really close relationship with their siblings — I think that’s why I identify with them — but they just have no excuse to see them...And so I think that’s the other thing that has cemented our closeness, is just we have this excuse. It’s part of the reason I love going on tour with Billie — I have this excuse to get to spend months at a time with her." Eilish said, "We bicker so much, you would not believe it...Since we were babies, we fight all the time like siblings do. We’re so annoyed by each other and infuriated by things. But we also get along really well, and literally, no one on the earth makes me laugh the way that Finneas does. [O'CONNELL: Likewise]. I think that that part is probably the part that people say they don’t have with their siblings, which makes me sad because it’s the most amazing part of my life."

Sam Peckinpah (2/21/1925, Pisces Ox), Begoña Palacios (12/28/1941, Capricorn Snake) : The Mexican actor and famously troubled US director were married and divorced three times. Their daughter Lupita recalled, "They were so in love with each other but they were two people who couldn't be together but couldn't be separate. There was a lot of passion and love between them. She lived in the past and agonised about losing him. My mother always respected my father very much and she always told me great and beautiful things about him."

Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle

Dave Chappelle (8/24/1973, Virgo Ox), Chris Rock (2/7/1965, Aquarius Snake) : The two comedians are good friends who have expressed mutual admiration and appeared together on stage multiple times. Rock has described: "There was like a couple shows that were just me and Dave on stage for like two hours. He would call up my road manager, like, 'I'm coming.' ...I just love Dave, and I look at it like [Jean-Michel] Basquiat and [Andy] Warhol and we’re just collaborating."

Heidi Klum (6/1/1973, Gemini Ox), Tom Kaulitz (9/1/1989, Virgo Snake) : The model/entertainer/businesswoman and musician married in 2019. Kaulitz is Klum's third husband, and she has four children from previous relationships. She has described: "For the first time, [in Kaulitz] I have a partner who I can discuss everything with. Someone who shares duties that we all have in our life."

Jeff Bridges (12/4/1949, Sagittarius Ox), Beau Bridges (12/9/1941, Sagittarius Snake) : The two brothers are both screen actors, part of a dynasty with father Lloyd Bridges. In 2014, they appeared on stage together at a sold-out event entitled, "Beau and Jeff: A Tale of Two Bridges". Jeff has described their relationship and shared profession by saying, "It’s not a competition. It’s like we’re on the same team."
