Western Zodiac
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.
Libra and Libra - Relationship Horoscope
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.

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 (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 (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$AP Ferg (10/20/1988, Libra Dragon), A$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."

Rat and Pig
Compatibility overview
The best and worst matches in the Chinese zodiac tend to hog the limelight, but the often rewarding combination of the firsteast and the secondeast fits more into the gray area in between. These two may sometimes make each other nervous, but they also have the potential to share significant mutual admiration, and can form lengthy and deeply enjoyable attachments.
Rat and Pig - Relationship Horoscope
The four Trine Families that shape compatibility in Chinese zodiac divide naturally into two streams. The Pig and the Rat are from different streams. Their respective families—which for the Pig includes the Rabbit and Sheep, and for the Rat, the Dragon and Monkey—tend to approach each other somewhat warily. But while there are some notoriously challenging matches in this larger group (such as the Pig and Monkey, or the Rat and Sheep), the Pig and Rat themselves escape the really challenging aspects of this surrounding atmosphere. In fact, they often feel profound respect and fondness for each other.
They are too of the most gregarious signs, the Pig generous to a fault and the Rat endlessly charming and fascinated by people, so in social settings they can be expected to establish rapport and friendliness quickly. They also each have a tendency to be underestimated, at least in terms of their commitment and resourcefulness. The Pig may seem lazy on occasion, but they are dynamite when the chips are down or there is an occasion they need to rise to. The Rat might seem superficial or flighty to those who do not know them well, but their insightfulness and determination can be as powerfully effective as anyone's. Hence these two can often find each other very relatable and impressive, in the way they each achieve high visibility, yet the true abundance of their talents hides in plain sight.
The underlying tensions of their dynamic are likely to surface around information or resources. The Pig is probably the most trustworthy and naive of all the Chinese zodiac signs, while the Rat may well be the cagiest. Hence the Pig could find the Rat to be frustratingly withholding or hard to read, while the Rat may be horrified by the Pig's lack of strategic guile or worldliness. The Pig also tends to be magnanimous at every turn, where the Rat is instinctively far more calculating—managing shared endeavors could prove frequently stressful for both.
Over time, it can perhaps be expected that these two will operate quite independently in the relationship, uniting now and then to share friendly banter and admiration. The prospects of success should not be discounted, though—these are two of the luckiest signs there are, and together they may attract incredible fortune and joy.

Brad Paisley (10/28/1972, Scorpio Rat), Kimberly Williams-Paisley (9/14/1971, Virgo Pig) : The musician and actor have been married since 2003 and have two children. Williams-Paisley has described how the couple commemorate each wedding anniversary by recording their "greatest hits" of the past year: "We record the meaningful moments, the best laughs. That's a big part of our relationship—focusing on the laughter and keeping a sense of play." Paisley has said: "A lot of married couples would rather do anything but spend the evening together. That's not the case in our house."
Paul Dano (6/19/1984, Gemini Rat), Zoe Kazan (9/9/1983, Virgo Pig) : The two actors have been in a relationship since 2007, and have two children. They have collaborated on the films, Meek's Cutoff (2010), Ruby Sparks (2012, written by Kazan), and Wildlife (2018, written by Dano and Kazan, and directed by Dano). In a 2012 interview, Kazan described: "You can’t pick and choose a person. It’s not ‘choose your own adventure.’ You kind of have to take the whole package. And that’s something that I’ve really felt in my relationship with Paul, and in other relationships. Loving someone wholly, loving someone for themselves, loving someone for all the parts of them is how you grow and become an adult person...[Love] becomes all about choice — choosing to love someone, choosing not to cheat on them. It becomes this long series of choices, and that’s actually where your mettle as a person is tested."
Kate Jackson (10/29/1948, Scorpio Rat), Farrah Fawcett (2/2/1947, Aquarius Pig) : The two actors co-starred memorably in the original series of Charlie's Angels (1976-1981). After Fawcett died in 2009, Jackson recalled: "[At the first Hollywood party I went to] I was almost blinded by the most gorgeous, magnificent, glorious girl about my age...I thought, ‘Oh God, I better go home and, you know, be a teacher or something.' She was so funny, and we had the best time that [first] year that she did Charlie’s Angels because we got into the habit of just sort of ad-libbing on camera and trying to make the other one laugh, or doing something unexpected...When the first year of Charlie’s Angels ended, our friendship didn’t. It just grew stronger and closer through the years...I think that is the reason the show worked. I think it’s even better than the movies because we truly cared about each other and still do. It was a pleasure and a privilege."
Emily Baldoni (10/18/1984, Libra Rat), Justin Baldoni (1/24/1984, Aquarius Pig) : The two actors have been married since 2013 and have two children. Emily Baldoni described during quarantine in 2020: "You cannot run away anymore. You can't go off to work and get distracted. You can’t go and have a coffee with a friend and get distracted. You're in it. So we're forced to look at the things that maybe before we were not willing to look at...Really what's helping us survive this without major meltdowns is that we can speak to each other, we know how to listen to each other and we've created a safe space to have these conversations."
Jeremiah Brent (11/24/1984, Sagittarius Rat), Nate Berkus (9/17/1971, Virgo Pig) : The two interior designers/television personalities married in 2014 and have two children. Brent described about their first outing, going furniture shopping: "I was sitting in a brown leather chair and we were just talking. And I remember thinking to myself, oh God, what is this? This is not what I thought it was. There was something about him that, in his presence, I just felt so safe."
Kenneth Branagh (12/10/1960, Sagittarius Rat), Emma Thompson (4/15/1959, Aries Pig) : The two actors were married from 1989 to 1995. Thompson described their early relationship by saying, "[Branagh] was incandescent with ambition and performance energy. Like two mating lobsters, we clashed claws." They collaborated on films including Henry V (1989), Dead Again (1991), and Much Ado About Nothing (1993). Their marriage ended in scandal, when Branagh began a relationship with actor Helena Bonham Carter during the making of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994). Thompson said later, "I was utterly, utterly blind to the fact that he had relationships with other women on set. What I learned was how easy it is to be blinded by your own desire to deceive yourself."
Eminem (10/17/1972, Libra Rat), Snoop Dogg (10/20/1971, Libra Pig) : The two legendary rappers have shared a longstanding close and at times competitive friendship. In 2021, Snoop apologized for comments that led Eminem to respond in his song, 'Zeus', "I’m used to people knocking me/But just not in my camp… Last thing I need is Snoop dogging me." Snoop described: "You got to understand we really love each other. So we don’t want the public to put a spin on something that’s not even that serious…. And we truly respect each other. So we wanted to get an understanding behind closed doors… We’re brothers, man...And that’s what it is when you make records with people that you love and family. It’s competitive, but it’s competitive for the right reasons to bring the best out of each other." The pair have since performed together at the Super Bowl and VMAs.

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.
