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 (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.
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?"
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 the heart of the Chinese zodiac lie four Trine Families, akin to the shared elements in Western astrology. One such family comprises the Monkey and Rat (along with their close ally, the Dragon). The binding energy between these two signs emphasises brilliant ingenuity, endless enthusiasm, and a keen appetite for achievement.
Early meetings are likely to be rollicking affairs, overflowing with witty repartee and lively adventures. The Monkey, who in other company is frequently bored, will probably be fascinated by the Rat's keen powers of observation and sparkling sense of humour—not to mention energy reserves almost on a par with their own! The Rat, meanwhile, whose personality usually seems more subtle than the Monkey's but is in truth similarly intense, usually finds the Monkey to be a simply marvellous creation, an ideal blend of giftedness, hilarity, and irrepressible energy. Sexual hijinks are strongly favoured, but wickedly entertaining banter and fun is likely in any context.
Given time and suitable circumstances, the bond between these two will tend to grow stronger and deeper. The Monkey may come to value enormously just how shrewd and insightful the Rat can be in strategizing for the future. The Rat will learn that the Monkey is as committed to actualization and accomplishment as they are a genius in developing conceptual ideas. There is potential for great emotional support here, too. The Rat, who can be guarded and secretive in some company, is likely to discover they do not need to be so cagy with their natural confidant, the Monkey. The Monkey's often temperamental soul will tend to be less prone to disturbance and more easily reassured when the soothing attentions of the Rat are nearby.
In all, this relationship offers a brilliant mixture of inspiration, delight, and comfort, making it one of the Eastern zodiac's absolute best.

Cameron Diaz (8/30/1972, Virgo Rat), Justin Timberlake (1/31/1981, Aquarius Monkey) : The famous actor and musician/actor had a romantic relationship between 2003 and 2007 and have maintained a friendly relationship since, working on and promoting the films Shrek the Third and Bad Teacher. Reflecting on their attraction despite a nine-year age gap, Diaz stated, "It's not like this is the first time in the history of human relationships that people were drawn to one another because of who they are, not what age they are."
Kris Kristofferson (6/22/1936, Cancer Rat), Johnny Cash (2/26/1932, Pisces Monkey) : The two musicians and fellow members of the country supergroup the Highwaymen first met in the 1960s.

[Cash] shook hands with me and he changed my life. I knew I was right where I belonged...He was a poet and an artist unlike anyone I have ever known...Johnny Cash never disappointed me.

David Duchovny (8/7/1960, Leo Rat), Gillian Anderson (8/9/1968, Leo Monkey) : These two actors rose to fame as partners in the cult television show The X-Files.

Anderson described in 2020: "People know we are good friends now and that we’ve found our way into an adult friendship. But there is something that will always remain between us, a kinetic energy that is tangible when you see us in a room together."
Normani (5/31/1996, Gemini Rat), Cardi B (10/11/1992, Libra Monkey) : The singer and rapper collaborated on the acclaimed song, "Wild Side" (2021), which for Normani marked a return from a two-year hiatus. Normani described: "[Cardi B] brought such light to this experience and to me after not releasing for the last two years. I feel like she’s given me comfort and provided a safe space for me. Cardi has great energy and is such a genuine spirit. She really put her all into this record, and I feel like it’s hard to come across people that understand your vision the way you do. She even put her input into the artwork concept for 'Wild Side' too. We had so much fun on-set and she made it the easiest experience ever."
Jennifer Grey (3/26/1960, Aries Rat), Joel Grey (4/11/1932, Aries Monkey) : This actor and Broadway legend are a famous daughter/father duo.

About Jennifer and their relationship, Joel has said, "She’s so connected to me in the best sense, and to everybody that she’s close to. She’s such an artist and she’s such a heart-filled person."
