Compatibility
Libra Rabbit and Virgo Pig

The slow-burn energy that gradually draws firstwest and secondwest together in spite of their differences enjoys a rare opportunity to blossom here, supported by the superb pairing of the firsteast with the secondeast.

Libra and Virgo

Compatibility overview

As adjacent signs in the Western zodiac, firstwest and secondwest have traditionally had a somewhat dubious reputation. Orthodox thinking has been that they are like stereotypical real-life neighbors—respectful but nervous, and wary of getting too close. Give this relationship time, however, and the skeptics could be proved very wrong. Beneath the surface, there is ample scope for an enduring and nourishing bond.

Signs that are next to each other around the Western zodiac wheel form a Semi-Sextile interval. This connection is one of only two minor influences (with the Quincunx), which means that the energy is softer, less determinative, than with other matches. Hence from the beginning Libra and Virgo typically share a freedom that is partly liberating, and partly lacking in direction.

Semi-Sextile energy has a reputation for hesitancy and standoffishness. Certainly the elements here can be a source of ambivalence. Libra, an Air sign through and through, tends to be highly intellectual, fascinated by all things cerebral. Sometimes accused of indecisiveness, Libra's raison d'être is to leave no conceptual stone unturned. They tend to become quite cross if forced into any course of action they think is premature, or that they have not had time to reflect upon from multiple perspectives. Virgo, on the other hand, tends to espouse the values of determination, stability, and certainty that are the hallmarks of their Earth element. While they excel at organization and structure, Virgos can be uncomfortable with anything they perceive as over-thinking that might impede the steady momentum of progress. In this combination, Libra may struggle with what they perceive as the rigidity of Virgo, as if they are being locked in to ways of being that are too restrictive or narrow. Virgo, on the other hand, can find the breadth and energy of Libra's thinking disconcerting and confusing. It may seem hard for Virgo to establish the kind of firm foothold they need to make progress.

Given time to develop, however, this match has the hidden weapon of deeply compatible modalities. Libra's Cardinal energy is not surprisingly concentrated on beginnings. Libra typically loves nothing more than to brainstorm, to initiate and create. As well as being infectiously enthusiastic, they can be brilliantly original. This complements perfectly Virgo's Mutable energy, with its intrinsic concern for consequences, implications, and after-effects. Virgo's reflective approach to structure and organization can thus guide and control Libra's more effervescent brand of intellectual exploration, helping them to avoid procrastination or time-wasting. Libra's spirited and expansive mental explorations, meanwhile, can prevent Virgo becoming too dour or inflexible. Collaborations here can thus prove marvelously creative, and are likely to be successfully realized.

Some independence to counter the challenging elements will probably benefit this pairing. Libra and Virgo are both known for being moody from time to time, so conflicts could feel serious, even if they prove relatively fleeting. The great promise of this Semi-Sextile connection, though, is how it can build in strength over time. Given the time and space they need to blossom, this pairing could achieve terrific successes, and forge a very warm and dependable bond.

Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith

Jada Pinkett Smith (9/18/1971, Virgo Pig), Will Smith (9/25/1968, Libra Monkey) : The two actors have been married since 1997 and have two children together. They have attracted publicity owing to an acknowledged "open" relationship. In 2021, Will Smith was quoted as saying, "The freedoms that we’ve given one another and the unconditional support, to me, is the highest definition of love."

Leonard Bernstein (8/25/1918, Virgo Horse), Jerome Robbins (10/11/1918, Libra Horse) : Composer/conductor/pianist Bernstein and choreographer/dancer Robbins were longtime collaborators, whose work together included the musical, West Side Story (first produced on Broadway in 1957), and the ballets, Fancy Free (first produced in New York in 1944), and Dybbuk (first produced in New York in 1974). Bernstein once described, "I remember all my collaborations with Jerry in terms of one tactile bodily feeling, which is his hands on my shoulders, composing with his hands on my shoulders. This may be metaphorical but it’s the way I remember it. I can feel him standing behind me saying, yes, now just about four more beats there . . . yes, that’s it."

Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Justin Mikita

Justin Mikita (9/10/1985, Virgo Ox), Jesse Tyler Ferguson (10/22/1975, Libra Rabbit) : The two actors have been married since 2013, and have one child. Describing how they first met, at the gym in the early days of Ferguson's role in Modern Family (2009-2020), Ferguson said, "I was taken by how handsome he was and how sweet. I started asking questions about him, and I think he was sort of thrown off by that and ran away from me." The couple went on to launch the non-profit organization, Tie the Knot, raising money for LGBTQ causes.

Peter Falk (9/16/1927, Virgo Rabbit), Shera Danese (10/9/1949, Libra Ox) : The two actors were married from 1977 until Falk's death in 2011, from Alzheimer's. Danese appeared in Falk's iconic series, Columbo (1968–1978, 1989–2003) more than any other guest star. Falk once said about their early relationship, "[Danese] wasn’t interested. I kept at it. She conceded to a hello over a cocktail." Despite a reputation for conflict—the couple were apparently known a the "Fighting Falks", and Falk was a famous drinker and womanizer—they ultimately remained together. Danese once described: "We went through a really hard spell. I don’t know why but we didn’t agree on anything. Then, we made concessions, we accepted the bad habits of the other."

Lenny Henry and Dawn French

Lenny Henry (8/29/1958, Virgo Dog), Dawn French (10/11/1957, Libra Rooster) : The two British actor/comedians were married from 1984 until 2010. They had one adopted child together. Henry described about their early relationship in 2022, "I was yearning for something more substantial, but I just didn’t know what that was...A massive light bulb went off over my head. I was compelled by [French]. We talked about everything... performance, politics (my family voted Labour, but I hadn’t really connected with the whys of it until I met Dawn), family, relationships, food, the future. Even at the worst of times we used humour as sword and shield. My mind was at last tuned in, focused and functioning as an equal in a relationship. In other words, I was in love." In 2017, Henry said, "Remarkably, we seem to have shifted with relative ease from a 25-year marriage to a lasting friendship. I am amazed by us. There is no war, we’ve turned out to be the best of friends. There were lots of good years but one tricky last year."

Nick Cave (9/22/1957, Virgo Rooster), PJ Harvey (10/9/1969, Libra Rooster) : The two musicians dated in the mid-1990s, and collaborated on the recording, "Henry Lee" (1996). Cave has acknowledged their break-up as a strong influence on the acclaimed album, The Boatman's Call (1997), which marked a shift for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds away from punk rock towards more sombre, piano-based music. Cave wrote about the break-up between him and Harvey in 2019: "Deep down I suspected that drugs might have been a problem between us, but there were other things too. I still had a certain amount of work to do on my understanding of the concept of monogamy, and Polly had her own issues, I suspect, but I think at the end of the day it came down to the fact that we were both fiercely creative people, each too self-absorbed to ever be able to inhabit the same space in any truly meaningful way. We were like two lost matching suitcases, on a carousel going nowhere...[N]ever one to waste a good crisis, I set about completing The Boatman’s Call."

The Rabbit and Pig is one of the most special matches in the entire Chinese zodiac. At its core, Chinese astrology is based on four Trine Families, like the elements in the Western zodiac. The family that includes the Pig and Rabbit—along with their close ally, the Sheep—is the gentlest, most peaceable of the four.

Chances are, these two will sense a delicious calmness fall over them as soon as they meet. The Rabbit's idealistic, artistic temperament tends to feel immediately encouraged and supported by the abundantly generous Pig. The Pig is likely to sense from the beginning that the Rabbit's motives are pure and kind, and that the Pig's trusting nature will never be taken advantage of.

This combination naturally emphasises aesthetics, goodness and compassion—everything that is beautiful in the world. Hence as a duo they will be motivated towards conflict resolution, creative expression, and sensual experience. The vices that can arise for these two souls in other contexts—self-sabotage or irritability for the Pig; fearfulness or isolation for the Rabbit—are mercifully rare or absent when they are together. Instead, this relationship is deeply protective and nurturing.

While the Pig/Rabbit combination is known to contribute a sense of harmony to many families, it is equally true that these two can contribute their magical, family-like energy to any setting where they are welcome and comfortable.

Francis Ford Coppola and Sofia Coppola

Francis Ford Coppola (4/7/1939, Aries Rabbit), Sofia Coppola (5/14/1971, Taurus Pig) : The father and daughter are both celebrated film directors. Sofia Coppola has described: "I’m proud to be his daughter..I learned to have balls from him, and integrity. But I have a body of work now, and it has its own identity. He’s a great master, but I’m happy to carve out my own way of working."

Zach Braff (4/6/1975, Aries Rabbit), Florence Pugh (1/3/1996, Capricorn Pig) : The actor and actor/director dated and lived together during 2019 to 2022, after they met working together on the short film directed by Braff, It Takes Time to Get There. The two traded affectionate birthday messages, with Pugh writing in April 2021: "It's this magical person[']s birthday...His need to make people laugh and smile is never ending, his constant generosity and love for others is infectious, his creativity and ability to put real and honest words onto the page inspires many and all who's around him." Braff wrote in January 2022, "Happy birthday to this beautiful human being. I am so lucky to know you. And the world is so lucky they get to witness your incredible talent."

Phoebe Cates (7/16/1963, Cancer Rabbit), Kevin Kline (10/24/1947, Scorpio Pig) : The two actors have been married since 1989. Kline was quoted in 2002 as saying: "When I first met Phoebe, I remember thinking, She's too happy to be with me. She's too enthusiastic about life….What'll we talk about?"

Lily Tomlin (9/1/1939, Virgo Rabbit), Jane Wagner (2/26/1935, Pisces Pig) : The actor and writer became partners in 1971 and, after 41 years together, married in 2013. Tomlin has described, "[Wagner] expresses how I feel, which I have no ability to do. She can express in words what I feel about the world, about humans, about the struggle that we’re in — and, presumably, not the inevitability of it all, something that I know speaks to other people."

Linda Cardellini and Christina Applegate

Linda Cardellini (6/25/1975, Cancer Rabbit), Christina Applegate (11/25/1971, Sagittarius Pig) : The two actors starred together in the show Dead to Me and became close friends. Cardellini has said: "The trust that we have with each other in life, and on screen, which just happened magically, kind of instantly for us, I’m so grateful for. It’s a gift in my real life and it’s a gift in my professional life. I love when we’re on set together. I couldn’t even hope for a better partner."

Drew Barrymore (2/22/1975, Pisces Rabbit), Tom Green (7/30/1971, Leo Pig) : The actor/media personality and actor/comedian/film-maker were married from 2001-2002, after meeting on the set of Charlie's Angels (2000). In 2021, they reconnected on The Drew Barrymore Show (2020-present), with Barrymore explaining, "We have not seen each other face-to-face, actually, in almost 20 years." Green said on the show, "It's very nice to see you. It does feel weird, though. Not weird in a bad way — weird in a good way. Appreciate it, Drew, so thanks for having me on the show. It's awesome. This is cool. I actually think this is a nice way of reconnecting, actually. It takes a little bit of the pressure off."

Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson

Michael Jordan (2/17/1963, Aquarius Rabbit), Magic Johnson (8/14/1959, Leo Pig) : The two basketball legends developed a supportive friendship when they represented the US as part of the 1992, "Dream Team". Johnson described: "Man, I had some of my fondest memories just hanging out with Michael. We played cards every night against each other. And if I had the upper hand, he wanted to play another hour. [And] another hour. And then he never wants to just beat you. He wants to put his foot on your neck and just...[makes growling sound]. You’re not satisfied with beating me? You want to crush me too? Yup."

Conan O'Brien (4/18/1963, Aries Rabbit), David Letterman (4/12/1947, Aries Pig) : The two late night hosts developed a supportive friendship over many years. In 1994, Letterman famously returned to NBC as O'Brien's guest—after being rejected by the network himself—which gave O'Brien's show a memorable and much-needed boost. Said Letterman on the show, "You guys do an incredible amount of comedy and stuff that is produced that is very high level. The volume and the quality of the stuff just knocks me out. I think you’ve really done a great job to carve out a wonderful identity for yourselves… I think you did a nice job."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

As semi-Sextile neighbors, firstwest and secondwest share a connection that is often vague and standoffish at first, though in spite of their contrasting personalities, there is significant potential for closeness and collaboration over time. Fortunately, in this relationship, the parties have the blessed Trine match of the firsteast and secondeast to support them. Given the time they need, these two could forge a connection as deeply nourishing as it is powerfully strong.
