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."

Rabbit and Monkey

Compatibility overview

This uneven yet charming match has the potential to bring a good deal of happiness. The firsteast and secondeast are not classically thought of as an ideal match, but their combination does not ring alarm bells either. Instead, these two together summon a gentle, creative, and quite esoteric energy, that in the right circumstances can be very supportive and pleasurable.

The Eastern zodiac is underpinned by four Trine Families. Truth be told, the families of the Monkey (with the Dragon and Rat) and the Rabbit (with the Pig and Sheep) are not known for great harmony, and some of the matches between them have a risky reputation (e.g., the Monkey and Pig, or the Rabbit and Dragon). The Monkey and Rabbit can therefore be expected to experience some uncertainty and miscommunication, and to question each other's priorities from time to time. Fortunately, however, they share some strong synergies that can bring much enjoyment and closeness.

Creativity is a defining attribute for both of these signs. The Monkey's ingenuity and sparkling wit can provide boundless inspiration for the Rabbit's artistic soul, while the Monkey will rarely fail to be impressed by the Rabbit's selfless devotion and natural-born expressive skills. Indeed, the creative instincts of these signs can give the relationship itself a highly original, idiosyncratic quality. These two also have a tendency to be naturally guarded or defensive. The Monkey's lively exterior can mask recurrent feelings of despondency, while the Rabbit's sensitivity means they instinctively shy away from confrontation or drama. With each other, however, both signs may be encouraged to open up more than usual, the Monkey revealing a softer side than they ordinarily reveal, and the Rabbit becoming less inhibited and more socially confident.

There are likely to be limits to this mutual admiration and relaxation, of course. The Monkey is by nature a far less placid, more excitable creature than the Rabbit. Hence the Monkey's appetite for stimulation may destabilize or overwhelm the Rabbit, while the Rabbit's desire for calm could depress or stultify the Monkey. If things get too difficult, the Monkey could find themselves making fun of or taunting the Rabbit, while the Rabbit's escapist tendencies may leave the Monkey neglected or unfulfilled.

Ultimately, while relationships that are more casual or give each party plenty of space often work best here, in any context the creativity, quirkiness, and warmth of this connection can greatly enrich the lives of both signs.

Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill

Mark Hamill (9/25/1951, Libra Rabbit), Carrie Fisher (10/21/1956, Libra Monkey) : The two actors became Hollywood royalty after appearing as Luke and Leia in the original Star Wars trilogy, and they developed a lasting friendship. Hamill described: "I wasn’t her best friend – she had so many friends and I’d go to parties with her and I would be the only one there I’d never heard of. But there was a comfort level that we’d achieved because she knew I wasn’t ever angling for a favour or trying to get her to introduce me to this agent or this director. We became like real siblings over the years."

Rick Rubin (3/10/1963, Pisces Rabbit), Johnny Cash (2/26/1932, Pisces Monkey) : The music producer and country music icon collaborated on the bare-bones acoustic American Recordings series in the 1990s/2000, which led to a significant late-career revival for Cash. Rubin described: "[Cash] didn’t know who I was, but he wanted to understand why I would want to work with him because why would anyone want to work with him? In his mind, he was done. I didn’t convince him. We just sat and talked for a while, and I said, ‘Well, let’s just sit down and play me songs you love, and we’ll figure out what to do.’ He sat in my living room and he just started playing me these songs, most of which I had never heard, old country songs, or old folk songs, and it was magnificent."

Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt (12/18/1963, Sagittarius Rabbit), Jennifer Aniston (2/11/1969, Aquarius Monkey) : The two actors shared one of the most famous marriages in the world between 2000 and 2005—then one of the most famous break-ups, as Pitt began another high-profile relationship with Angelina Jolie shortly afterwards. Asked about Pitt and Jolie appearing in a 60-page photo-spread within months of her own divorce, Aniston described: "I can also imagine Brad having absolutely no clue why people would be appalled by it. Brad is not mean-spirited; he would never intentionally try to rub something in my face. In hindsight, I can see him going, 'Oh—I can see that that was inconsiderate.' But I know Brad. Brad would say, 'That’s art!'. There’s a sensitivity chip that’s missing." Fifteen years later, after the two were photographed chatting amiably in 2020, Aniston commented: "You know, Brad and I are buddies. Like, we're friends and we speak."

Nicolas Cage (1/7/1964, Capricorn Rabbit), Patricia Arquette (4/8/1968, Aries Monkey) : The two actors were married from 1995 to 2001. When Cage initially pursued Arquette in the 1980s, he reportedly asked her to provide a list of valuables he could obtain to prove his devotion—including a J.D. Salinger signature and a "black orchid"—many of which he provided. Nearly a decade later, they encountered one another again and were married within two weeks.

Alicia Keys and Whitney Houston

Whitney Houston (8/9/1963, Leo Rabbit), Alicia Keys (1/25/1981, Aquarius Monkey) : The two singers were close friends, with Houston acting as a mentor for Keys over many years. Speaking at Houston's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020, Keys described their relationship as, "A beautiful friendship that was so genuine, and so sincere. We were kindred spirits and instant sisters." Keys recounted: "When I first met [Houston]...I was still in awe of this crazy world I was newly welcomed into, and she marched right up to me, and she said, 'You are gonna write a song for me.' I couldn’t believe it! Had the greatest voice of all time just demanded that of little ole me? I was shocked and completely overjoyed, and slightly scared."


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.
