Signs like Capricorn and Libra, that are three steps apart around the Western zodiac wheel, make a hard 90° angle, known as a Square aspect. This is not a match for the faint of heart.
Square energy is notoriously powerful and demanding. These two are likely to realize quickly that there is little they see eye to eye about. Libra naturally tends to consider every question from every possible angle, whereas Capricorn is defined by their motivation for control. Libra thus tends to resent what they see as Capricorn's attempts to force them into decisions or courses of action, while Capricorn worries that Libra will squander time or potential. Part of the problem stems from the respective elements.
Libra's Air encourages intellectual freedom and exciting new possibilities, where as an Earth sign Capricorn is guided by patience, determination, and predictability. Further, these signs share the same Cardinal modality, which emphasizes beginnings and inception. With little to balance this pure, initiating energy, and such differing instincts, these signs can both feel as if joint initiatives are doomed to fail at the first hurdle. This can bring out the worst in both signs, making Libra ill-tempered and indecisive, and Capricorn morose and inflexible.
On the positive side, the magic of Square energy is that it is essentially constructive. For all the tension between Capricorn and Libra, they can also be strongly drawn to one another—intellectually, personally, or sexually. They can also achieve greater self-knowledge and confidence than in just about any other combination. A Square match has a devil's advocate-like quality, as if every motivation is being tested to see how valuable or worthwhile it really is.
Ultimately, whether Capricorn and Libra move beyond their connection or sustain it together, the energy is fundamentally advantageous, with both signs likely to achieve a clarity about themselves and their aspirations they never thought possible.

Kim Kardashian (10/21/1980, Libra Monkey), Ray J (1/17/1981, Capricorn Monkey) : The media personality and singer/actor were a couple between 2002 and 2006. The relationship has attracted significant ongoing attention because of a sex tape released in 2007. In 2022, Ray J. reportedly criticized Kardashian, saying, "I've sat in the shadows for over 14 years allowing the Kardashians to use my name, to abuse my name, make billions of dollars over a decade-and-a-half talking about a topic I've never really spoken about. I've never leaked anything. I have never leaked a sex tape in my life...She's always had all the tapes...Once I pitched the idea to her, just playing around a little bit, that's when she jumped on the idea, talked to her mom and it was out of my hands from there."
Jeff Goldblum (10/22/1952, Libra Dragon), Emilie Livingston (1/4/1983, Capricorn Dog) : The actor and dancer have been married since 2014 and have two children together. In 2018, Livingston posted to Instagram: "Some people like to play games and play hard to get but we were just honest and aware from day one and took our relationship day by day until I had to express my feelings of wanting a family with HIM and to share the rest of my life with his beautiful soul! That was a scary day, opening myself up completely...we just kept talking about it together and with our therapist until we decided that it was the right thing to do! Ladies stay true to yourself, have fun but when it stops being fun be honest with yourself and your mate and be open to discussions that may be uncomfortable at first but worth releasing in a calm and safe environment!!! I love this man with ALL of my heart! ♥️ Thank you universe 🙏🏻"
Annie Leibovitz (10/2/1949, Libra Ox), Susan Sontag (1/16/1933, Capricorn Monkey) : The photographer and writer were in a relationship for 15 years. Liebovitz has described: "Words like 'companion' and 'partner' were not in our vocabulary. We were two people who helped each other through our lives. The closest word is still 'friend'." About her decision to have children, Liebovitz said: "I think [Sontag] wanted me to herself. I think she didn't think I was serious enough. 'Let's talk about it when you're serious about it,' she would say. And I made a decision myself to have children and then she was very supportive. But it took me making my own decision. She loved [Liebovitz's daughter] Sarah. She just loved Sarah.
Sting (10/2/1951, Libra Rabbit), Trudie Styler (1/6/1954, Capricorn Snake) : The musician and actor/film producer have been married since 1992 and have four children. Their relationship began with scandal, as Sting lived next door to Styler with his previous wife, who was also Styler's best friend. In 2006, Styler described: "I don't know how happy I was when I met Sting. I always had this difficulty of not really knowing who I was. But I'm happy now. I don't look back - it sounds a bit New Age and wanky, but I prefer to look forward. I know where I came from and I hope I don't take anything for granted."
Marcello Mastroianni (9/28/1924, Libra Rat), Faye Dunaway (1/14/1941, Capricorn Dragon) : The two actors famously lived together in the late 1960s, despite Mastroianni being married at the time. Dunaway wrote in 1995, "There are days when I look back on those years with Marcello and have moments of real regret. There is that one piece of me that thinks that had we married, we might be married still. It was one of our fantasies, that we would grow old together. He thought we would be like Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn, a love kept secret for a lifetime. Private and only belonging to the two of us."
John Lennon (10/9/1940, Libra Dragon), Phil Spector (12/26/1939, Capricorn Rabbit) : The musician and music producer (who was later convicted of murder and died in prison) collaborated extensively, including on the landmark Imagine album. Lennon described: "[Spector's] got a tremendous ego. He considers the artist like a film director considers actors, just pieces of garbage… canned goods that you bring on and wheel off. He’d like to bury the artist and so the production is the main thing. But we didn’t allow him to do that to us. So on that level it was very good, because we used what we considered is his amazing ear for pop music and sound, without letting it become [deep voice] ‘Spector’."

Compatibility overview
Fair warning, Chinese astrology is known to take no prisoners when it comes to combinations believed to attract challenging energy. The match between firsteast and secondeast is famously oppositional, a clash between refinement and flamboyance that can produce all manner of tensions. It's not all bad news for this pair, however. Under the right conditions, struggles can yield important benefits for this original "odd couple".

The match between Rabbit and Rooster is one of the six notorious Opposite combinations, where signs are directly opposed across the Chinese zodiac wheel. These pairings are classically associated with jarring confrontation and enduring instability.
In this case, the celebrated bravado and perseverance of the Rooster runs headlong into the Rabbit's uniquely sensitive refinement. The poor Rabbit, easily over-awed by the Rooster's in-your-face attitude, may feel endlessly wounded by apparent slights or heartlessness, causing them to run for cover at every available opportunity. The Rooster, meanwhile, is likely to feel as if they have to constantly walk on eggshells due to what they perceive as the Rabbit being thin-skinned and precious. Hence this combination can easily aggravate the weaknesses of both signs. Direct or indirect confrontations may lead to the Rooster becoming increasingly self-absorbed and brash, while the Rabbit sinks ever deeper into bouts of isolation or maudlin depression.
With Opposite matches in the Chinese zodiac, however, there is always an upside. In any joint venture, each of these two oppositional signs supplies an abundance of energy in precisely the area where the other is most lacking. Thus, if the Rabbit's aesthetic values can be channelled alongside the Rooster's enterprising spirit, there may be potentially fantastic prospects for success. Any kind of collaboration, association, even public conflict, is capable of attracting wild levels of attention. Sometimes, these two can be so different in their instincts they may tend to be dismissive of one another's successes.
With positive energy on the Western side, or highly-evolved self-knowledge, these two signs can come together in spite of everything to achieve other-worldly triumphs.

Quentin Tarantino (3/27/1963, Aries Rabbit), Spike Lee (3/20/1957, Pisces Rooster) : A feud between the two celebrated film-makers reportedly dates back to Tarantino's 1997 film, Jackie Brown, which Lee argued made gratuitous use of the N-word. Following the release of Django Unchained in 2012, Lee tweeted (using characteristic capitalization): "American Slavery Was Not A Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western. It Was A Holocaust. My Ancestors Are Slaves. Stolen From Africa. I Will Honor Them."
Les Paul (6/9/1915, Gemini Rabbit), Leo Fender (8/10/1909, Leo Rooster) : The competition between these famous inventors has been credited with inspiring the most important electric guitars in history, the Gibson Les Paul and Leo Fender's Telecaster and Stratocaster. After having an opportunity to play Fender's new sold body guitar, Les Paul reportedly told an executive at Gibson's parent company, "[I]f you don't do something, Fender will rule the world."
Maria Sharapova (4/19/1987, Aries Rabbit), Serena Williams (9/26/1981, Libra Rooster) : The intense competitiveness between these two famous former world No. 1 tennis players has been described by some as a feud. Reflecting on their on and off court relationship, Sharapova has commented, "Serena and I should be friends; we have the same passion. But we are not. I think, to some extent, we have driven each other. Maybe that’s what it takes. Only when you have that intense antagonism can you find the strength to finish her off. Who knows?"
Saul Bellow (6/10/1915, Gemini Rabbit), Philip Roth (3/19/1933, Pisces Rooster) : These famous writers shared a mutual respect, with the older and more established writer, Bellow, mentoring the younger prodigy, Roth. After Roth's last ever interview, the interviewer Asaf Galay reported that, "[Roth said] he missed arguing with [Bellow] at the table, but that Bellow was not a good friend. He said something like: 'He wouldn’t be the first guy whose companionship I’d seek out in the afterlife'."
Lauryn Hill (5/26/1975, Gemini Rabbit), Wyclef Jean (10/17/1969, Libra Rooster) : The two musicians were members of the band The Fugees and had a tumultuous affair during which both were involved with other people. In his memoir, Purpose: An Immigrant's Story, Jean describes the intense attraction between him and Hill as well as a relationship that was toxic. He writes: "You can hear the tension in the music, all of that impossible love...It was like we knew it wasn’t going to work from the start, but we couldn’t shy away...The way we related we couldn’t sustain because it was this whirlwind of creativity, this success, this performance."
50 Cent (7/6/1975, Cancer Rabbit), Jay-Z (12/4/1969, Sagittarius Rooster) : These two famous rappers have known each other for many years and were involved in a famous beef in 2009. 50 Cent has since described their relationship as strictly "business": "We are in the same business. We are not necessarily friends. We don’t call each other for no reason. It’s not like we have something against each other to make us enemies. Me and Jay will use each other. Repeatedly. For energy."

Final Words
The Square combination of firstwest and secondwest may sometimes wonder if there is anything they agree about at all, yet this potent connection also offers rare opportunities for both signs to crystallize who they are and what they want out of life, and to cultivate greater self-awareness, patience and generosity in communicating. On the Chinese zodiac side, the energy between the firsteast and secondeast is similarly powerful and conflictive—though again there are countervailing positives, as few combinations can summon such a spectacular and impactful coalescence of energy. It may take a supreme effort to maintain this ferocious connection over the long term, but for as long as it endures, this is a recipe for a blazing, unforgettable relationship.
