Libra and Sagittarius

Compatibility overview

A sometimes untapped treasure of the Western zodiac, the combination of firstwest and secondwest can attract some beautifully relaxed, reliable energy. This is a connection that may seem too uncomplicated for a Hollywood-style romance or hero's quest. Yet at the end of the day, these two usually have each other's backs, come what may. The result can provide each sign with as much pleasure and devotion as any match under the stars.

Being two signs apart around the Western zodiac wheel, Libra and Sagittarius share a Sextile aspect. Right off the bat, this is a calming, mutually reassuring influence, typically as good-humored as it is dependable.

The good news begins with the highly compatible elements. Libra is a quintessential Air sign, typically an indefatigable intellectual with an insatiable appetite for ideas and possibilities. This knits delightfully with Sagittarius' Fire-infused personality, for Sagittarius is a dyed-in-the-wool philosopher, often at their most comfortable dealing with abstract ethical questions, or contemplating the natural world. Indeed, the metaphorical significance of these elements could hardly be more apt, as these signs tend to whip each other into excitement. Libra provides an atmosphere of oxygen-rich enthusiasm and encouragement, while Sagittarius offers burning intensity and dynamism. As friends, colleagues, or lovers, hours will often seem like seconds for a Libra and Sagittarius pairing, as they rise together in crescendoes of eagerness and insight.

The compatibility here is further enhanced by the respective modalities. Libra's Cardinal energy favors beginnings, inceptions, newness in all things. At the other end of the spectrum, Sagittarius is a Mutable sign, far-seeing, with a reflective aptitude for consequences and implications. Collaboration can thus be expected to flow easily, with each sign mostly able to play to their own strengths, while together their efforts coalesce into original and complete creations.

The downside of the Libra/Sagittarius combination really arises from the easygoing character of the relationship. The bond between these two is accessible, relaxed, and peaceful—but it does not necessarily compel or inspire the signs with driving force. Hence these two may find they instinctively prioritize other connections or opportunities rather than each other. Diversions are not likely to breed resentment, but they can mean that windows close which might otherwise have opened onto quite wonderful possibilities.

In the end, whether these two choose a lifelong commitment or just to share the occasional break from the world, chances are their time together will prove delightfully nourishing, secure, and enjoyable.

Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne

Sharon Osbourne (10/9/1952, Libra Dragon), Ozzy Osbourne (12/3/1948, Sagittarius Rat) : The legendary heavy metal musician Ozzy Osbourne (founding member of Black Sabbath) and media personality Sharon Osbourne have been married since 1982. They have three children. Their marriage has been famously turbulent—Ozzy has spoken openly about frequent drug and alcohol use, and was once charged with Sharon's attempted murder after a binge—which contributed to the great success of their reality TV show, The Osbournes (2002-2005). Celebrating their 35-year anniversary in 2017, Sharon wrote: "Thank you Ozzy for 35 crazy & wonderful years. Here's to the next chapter of our lives. Love you more today than yesterday. Always remember: You carry my heart in yours, and it's getting older and needs protecting. Happy Anniversary."

Bradley Whitford (10/10/1959, Libra Pig), Jane Kaczmarek (12/21/1955, Sagittarius Sheep) : The two actors were married for 16 years from 1992. They have three children. They remained amicable after their break-up, with Kaczmarek saying in 2010: "A very wise person said to me, 'Nowadays, you can make a divorce anything you want it to be.' It's absolutely devastating, but then you really have to just drop it and keep going. We were friends for a long time, he's a great father, and we have three terrific kids, so I've made up my mind to make this as good as possible for everybody. We really are like a family living in two different houses."

Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens

Zac Efron (10/18/1987, Libra Rabbit), Vanessa Hudgens (12/14/1988, Sagittarius Dragon) : The two actors both achieved widespread fame following their work together in the successful High School Musical film trilogy (2006-2008). They reportedly dated from 2005 to 2010. Though they have each confirmed they do not stay in regular contact, they have continued to reflect fondly about their relationship. In 2019, Hudgens said, "I could not have been more grateful to have that relationship at the time … It was this massive phenomenon and [all] eyes were on me. And it's just a really weird foreign thing to go through, and by being in a relationship, it kind of kept me stabilized and grounded, and I had someone to lean on who was going through it as well."

Chuck Berry (10/18/1926, Libra Tiger), Keith Richards (12/18/1943, Sagittarius Sheep) : The two musicians shared a complex bond. Richards long admired Berry, at one point saying, "[Berry] was the air I breathed for many years when I was learning guitar." Although Berry once famously punched Richards in the face for touching his guitar backstage, they later collaborated on Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll (1987), a documentary film about two concerts staged to celebrate Berry's 60th birthday. Richards described: "[Berry] was a little prickly, but at the same time, there was a very warm guy underneath that he wasn’t that willing to display. There were other times between us when we’re sitting around and rehearsing, and going, 'Man, you know, between us we got that s— down' – and there would be a beautiful, different feeling."

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness

Hugh Jackman (10/12/1968, Libra Monkey), Deborra-Lee Furness (11/30/1955, Sagittarius Sheep) : The two actors were married from 1996 until 2023, and have two children. Jackman, who is 13 years younger than Furness, posted for their 25th wedding anniversary: "Being married to you, Deb, is as natural as breathing. From nearly the moment we met... I knew our destiny was to be together. In our 25 years, our love has only grown deeper—the fun, excitement, and adventure more exhilarating; the learning even greater. I’m forever grateful to share our love, our life—and, our family together. We’ve only just begun. Deb, I love you with all my heart!"

Bruce Springsteen and Steven Van Zandt

Bruce Springsteen (9/23/1949, Libra Ox), Steven Van Zandt (11/22/1950, Sagittarius Tiger) : The two musicians have been friends since the 1960s, and have collaborated for decades, after Van Zandt joined Springsteen's E Street Band in 1975. Van Zandt shares production credits for Springsteen's classic albums, The River (1980) and Born in the U.S.A (1984). Van Zandt described in 2020: "Our friendship is deeper than any [business or creative issues], and it’s forever. I decided that very early on. Remember, [Springsteen] was a very different person the first 10 years I knew him. He wasn’t the world’s greatest entertainer. He was like one of those grunge guys with long hair that just stares at his shoes. But I got extraordinary strength from finding one other person on the planet that felt the same way I did about rock & roll. You only need one so you don’t think you’re insane and you don’t think you’re a loser by not fitting into society. And I didn’t fit in and he didn’t fit in, and so we kind of had each other there in the beginning."

Pig and Snake

Compatibility overview

In contrast to the usually more equivocal teachings of the Western zodiac, Chinese astrology takes no prisoners when it comes to matches that are considered unfavourable. Sadly, the match between the firsteast and secondeast has a terrible reputation for causing conflict and stress to both parties. There is another side to the coin, however—for, unsettling as it may be, this match is also capable of producing some stunning benefits.

Facing each other across the Chinese zodiac wheel are six Opposite matches, one of which is the combination of the Pig and Snake. Typically for this oppositional energy, it is hard to imagine two personalities with less in common than the seductive Snake and the pure-hearted Pig.

The Snake, gloriously attractive and profoundly philosophical in outlook, can also be calculating and ethically flexible when it comes to advancing their own interests. The Pig, by contrast, is the most trusting and benevolent of all the signs—any form of guile or subterfuge typically causes them distress. Communications between these two thus tend to become inevitably fraught. The Snake may feel as if their sage advice is being ignored, their cherished talents being belittled or wasted. The Pig, on the other hand, may sense either that they are being humiliated or manipulated, or that they are powerless to protect the Snake from being wounded. The potential weaknesses of both signs may thus be magnified, with the Snake becoming envious, conniving, or judgemental, the Pig turning to self-sabotage, over-indulgence, or belligerence.

A particular site of discord for these two is finances, or really any kind of shared resources. Even when relaxed, the Snake tends to be jealously guarded about expenditure. Faced with the carefree indulgences of the Pig, the Snake may have conniptions! The poor stressed Pig, meanwhile, is apt to lose themselves to extravagance or guilt. As strange as it may seem, however, there are some powerful redeeming features to this relationship. Indeed, in terms of ultimate results, this connection can prove every bit as fruitful as the challenges are disturbing. Because each of these signs is so strong in those character traits where the other is weakest, their combined qualities as a duo forms a complete spectrum of energy. Hence any kind of collaboration or association between these two—as difficult as it may be for the Snake and Pig themselves—can be brilliantly impactful.

Even if these two signs struggle to take as much pleasure in the process as they would with other signs, joint enterprises between the Snake and Pig can prove truly, transformationally, life-changing.

David Letterman and Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey (1/29/1954, Aquarius Snake), David Letterman (4/12/1947, Aries Pig) : The pair of legendary talk show hosts shared a long-running tension, beginning with Winfrey's appearance on Late Night with David Letterman (1982-1993). After the two later reconciled, and Letterman appeared on Oprah's Next Chapter (2012—),Winfrey described: "You had asked me before to do [your show] in Chicago...and it was a terrible experience for me. The guy in the audience started yelling, ‘Get her, Dave!’ You were sort of baiting the audience, and there were a bunch of drunk guys down the front. I was trying to like, you know, mitigate the whole thing, and it felt so uncomfortable to me. I didn't want to have that experience again." Also reportedly contributing to the unease between them was Letterman leaving Winfrey with the bill at a restaurant they both happened to be visiting at the same time, Oprah refusing to acknowledge Letterman when they were in the same place, Letterman making fun of Oprah's name when he presented the 2010 Academy Awards ("Oprah? Uma [Thurman]. Uma? Oprah.").

Matthew Weiner (6/29/1965, Cancer Snake), Jon Hamm (3/10/1971, Pisces Pig) : The actor and writer/producer/director established a memorable legacy through their collaboration on the acclaimed TV show, Mad Men (2007-2017). Studio executives at AMC were apparently loath to cast Hamm in the lead role, but Weiner was adamant that he was the best choice. Hamm described later, "I auditioned about seven or eight times and I was just thinking, God, at this point, I've pretty much read every single scene in the pilot to somebody. What do I have to do?" A former SVP at AMC, Christina Wayne, described: "We were like, 'Really? This is the guy you want?' Matt [Weiner] was telling us he just knew it in his gut and he could see it."

Christopher Plummer and Julie Andrews

Julie Andrews (10/1/1935, Libra Pig), Christopher Plummer (12/13/1929, Sagittarius Snake) : The two actors memorably appeared together in The Sound of Music (1965). However, Plummer was less than complimentary about both the film—which he famously called, "The Sound of Mucus"—and acting with his co-star, which he described as, "[L]ike getting hit over the head with a Valentine card."

Simon Cowell (10/7/1959, Libra Pig), Howard Stern (1/12/1954, Capricorn Snake) : The two outspoken media personalities became involved in a heated feud, after Cowell replaced Stern as a judge on America's Got Talent (2006- ) in 2015. When hackers subsequently released internal Sony emails, they apparently revealed that Cowell had lobbied to have Stern fired and to replace him. Stern reportedly said on his radio show in 2019, "Personally would I love to see Simon Cowell [expletive] suck one up his [expletive]. In other words, would I love to see him fall flat on his face...My only beef with [Cowell] is he had a campaign behind my back, which I wouldn't have known if the Koreans hadn't hacked Sony. They exposed these emails he had going, 'We can get rid of Stern and I'll work for so much cheaper.' And by the way, if I had really wanted that job, then I would've been pissed. But I just find him sleazy and he is a liar."

Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards

Denise Richards (2/17/1971, Aquarius Pig), Charlie Sheen (9/3/1965, Virgo Snake) : The two actors were married from 2002 to 2006. They had two children. Their divorce was famously acrimonious, including court proceedings and a custody dispute. Interviewed in 2022, Richards described: "The behind-the-scenes stuff was way worse than what was out there. It was really bad...There is a lot that the public doesn’t know, and you never know what goes on behind closed doors. It was not a good situation...[I asked myself, ] [w]ould I want my daughters to be married to this man? No offense to him, but it’s true. And I think he would take that, he would understand what I’m saying. ... It was very toxic."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The energy between firstwest and secondwest reflects their Sextile aspect—in almost any context, they are likely to be trusted allies, sharing easygoing humor and having each other’s backs through thick and thin. Here, though, the influence on the Chinese zodiac side tells a very different story, for the firsteast and the secondeast are true Opposites, often locked in an explosive cycle of difference and conflict. There is real potential here—the firsteast and secondeast can be wildly successful if they manage to unite in common enterprise—but it may be essential to focus on the peaceable effects of the firstwest/secondwest match to achieve stability.
