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."

Compatibility overview

This inconsistent but sometimes delightful match is capable of some terrific results. The firsteast and secondeast are not blessed with strongly favorable energy, but neither are they prone to serious conflict.

The Eastern zodiac's four Trine Families work in similar ways to the elements in Western astrology. The families of the Rat (with the Dragon and Monkey) and Rabbit (with the Pig and Sheep) attract some challenging energy, and some of the matches between them can be very troublesome (e.g., the Rat and Sheep, or the Rabbit and Dragon). The Rat and Rabbit themselves, however, share some deeply meaningful affinities. The Rat's highly social nature, tactical thinking, and judiciousness with information can align beautifully with the Rabbit's innate love of peace and diplomacy. Relationships between these two signs often emphasize trust and a quite innocent outlook, for they are both likely to want only the best for each other and their larger communities. Creative pursuits, especially involving humour and the written word, are also strongly favored. The Rat's proficiency with language is legendary, while the Rabbit possesses a deeply artistic soul. Collaborations can be as witty and clever as they are aesthetically profound.

Problems between these two are less likely to explode than to develop gradually. The Rat's nature tends towards secretive strategizing, where the Rabbit is more open and sensitive. The Rat is often at their best under pressure or in the company of strong personalities, and they can be quite angry when provoked, whereas the Rabbit has little stamina for drama or confrontation of any kind. It can be especially hard for these two signs to deal with problems. With neither wanting to hurt the other's feelings, they can find themselves bearing a heavy load of unexpressed uncertainty, arguing around in circles, or simply avoiding each other.

Overall, it may be important for the Rabbit and Rat to appreciate their innate differences, and to direct their shared attention to areas where they most strongly agree. For with care and self-knowledge, this can be a beautifully warm and creative foundation for a relationship.

Jennifer Garner and Judy Greer

Jennifer Garner (4/17/1972, Aries Rat), Judy Greer (7/20/1975, Cancer Rabbit) : The two actors appeared together in 13 going on 30 in 2004 and have continued a strong friendship. Greer made a speech when Garner was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and Garner starred in Greer's directorial debut, A Happening of Monumental Proportions. Greer has described: "It's really important that you give your friendships some attention. It's important when you love someone to give that relationship attention. Sometimes you're going to talk a lot and sometimes you're not going to talk much and that has to be OK. I always feel like with [Garner], it's always very easy with her. We can talk a lot or we can go a long time without talking. It's always really easy. And she's just like that."

Josh Duhamel (11/14/1972, Scorpio Rat), Fergie (3/27/1975, Aries Rabbit) : The singer and model/actor became a couple in 2007. They were married from 2009 to 2019 and had one child together. In 2012, speaking on Oprah about tabloid rumors during their marriage, Fergie described how the couple attended "a lot of therapy": "When you go through difficult times, it really makes you stronger as a unit. Our love today is a deeper love." Duchamel added: "I'm actually happy that all that happened because we wouldn't be as strong as we are now; we wouldn't be as happy as we are now. In a lot of ways it made me straighten my ass out."

Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Pitt

Gwyneth Paltrow (9/27/1972, Libra Rat), Brad Pitt (12/18/1963, Sagittarius Rabbit) : The two actors were one of the world's highest profile couples when they dated between 1994 and 1997. Paltrow later recounted how Pitt confronted Harvey Weinstein after the infamous producer made an unwelcome advance towards her. "It was like the equivalent of [Pitt] throwing [Weinstein] against the wall...It was so fantastic because what he did was, he leveraged his fame and power to protect me at a time when I didn’t have fame or power yet...Harvey was never inappropriate with me again. Ever."

Stuart Townsend (12/15/1972, Sagittarius Rat), Charlize Theron (8/7/1975, Leo Rabbit) : The two actors were a couple for nine years, with each describing their relationship as akin to marriage, and surprised many observers when they split in 2010. During their time together, Theron described: "I've been in love before. But have I ever been with somebody who I really, truly felt had my back and was my best friend? No, not until Stuart." After their split, she described trying to mend the relationship: "It was sinking, and I had to give it a fight. I really wanted to try and make it work. That was the priority. I wouldn't do it any different way." Townsend said in 2013: "We had a great time, we had a great adventure, that's all I can say."

50 Cent and Eminem

50 Cent (7/6/1975, Cancer Rabbit), Eminem (10/17/1972, Libra Rat) : The two rappers are among the most famous hip-hop artists of all time. They have long been collaborators and friends, since Eminem signed 50 Cent after hearing his Guess Who's Back mixtape in 2002. In 2014, 50 Cent described: "Hip Hop is Black music, without question, and, unfortunately for some people, it's tough to accept that you have a White artist that does it better than Black artists. It is what it is. You can get like whoever you think is the best Black artist and stand them face-to-face in a room with Em, and he will eat that [guy] alive."

Billy Crystal (3/14/1948, Pisces Rat), Robin Williams (7/21/1951, Cancer Rabbit) : The two comedians/actors were friends from their youth in the 1970s until Williams' death in 2014. Crystal has described: "[Williams was a] lonely kid, a kid on his own a lot, inventing characters, inventing whole worlds and as he grew, it got more complete and easier for him to get to...[Williams' depression is] really stuff I don't talk about. Incredibly difficult times. You know, friends trusting each other with the darkest of secrets that I'll keep that way...[During interviews] [h]e always looked to me to bring him back to earth and I could take him in a different direction and it took me a while to figure out how to counter-punch and score my own points, you know… it was a privilege to trade blows with him."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The Sextile connection between firstwest and secondwest is perhaps the most uniquely joyful and low-maintenance in the Western zodiac, offering both any-kind-of-weather reliability and belly-laughs in spades. This injects welcome lightness to the dynamic between the firsteast and secondeast in this relationship, two signs who often admire and care about each other greatly, but can also experience a sense of not being fully appreciated or understood. Overall, this is an energy matrix that bodes well for trustworthiness and humor, accentuating the highs, and smoothing quickly over the lows.
