Libra Rooster and Scorpio Snake

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 Scorpio

Compatibility overview

As a match between adjacent signs around the Western zodiac wheel, the combination of firstwest and secondwest has not always enjoyed the best reputation. Orthodox astrology suggests that these two may be most comfortable remaining at arm's length, much like real-life neighbors who fear that over-familiarity could backfire in the future. With time, however, these two can prove to be highly effective collaborators, capable of developing a close and deeply supportive bond.

The Semi-Sextile connection shared by next-door signs Libra and Scorpio has traditionally attracted some skepticism. For starters, this is a minor aspect—one of only two (with the Quincunx)—meaning the energy is somewhat indeterminate. This can feel powerfully liberating at times, but it can equally contribute a certain aimlessness to the relationship.

The real uncertainty here, however, stems from the respective elements. Libra is a quintessential Air sign, a devoted explorer of intellectual realms. They sample multitudes of ideas with great enthusiasm, seeking out the most diverse sources they can find, and rarely taking concrete action without extraordinary research and reflection. Scorpio, by contrast, is a profoundly emotional creature, a deeply sensitive yet powerful presence who cannot help but experience life as a spectrum of extreme highs and lows. Early interactions between Libra and Scorpio may thus struggle to find common ground. Libra may find Scorpio much too serious, as if Scorpio's legendary sense of humor is too cutting, and Scorpio's moods generally are claustrophobically brooding and depressing. For Scorpio, on the other hand, Libra may seem altogether too flighty and superficial, as if they flit around annoyingly on the surface of life without ever penetrating the real existential substance that is most important.

This kind of initial wariness means many Libra and Scorpio pairings never progress beyond a respectful distance. If these two signs take the time to understand each other better, however, some marvelously surprising results may occur. Libra's pure Cardinal modality, which emphasizes unbridled creativity and new beginnings, complements perfectly Scorpio's Fixed energy, a driving force towards actualization and productiveness. Mutual projects may have to accommodate the signs' different instincts, but in fact Libra and Scorpio are natural collaborators. Their combined output may be highly creative and original, and gain considerable momentum over time. These signs also have much to learn from each other. Libra, for example, may find that in Scorpio's company they take themselves more seriously and are less likely to procrastinate. Scorpio, meanwhile, can enjoy a break from weighty intensity, and enjoy the kind of effortless sociability and enthusiasm Libra is famous for.

Ultimately, these two may never shake a sense of respectful difference, and independent spheres of activity are probably inevitable. Yet the affinities between Libra and Scorpio may contribute eventually to a dependable, warm, and greatly rewarding bond.

Matt Damon (10/8/1970, Libra Dog), Jimmy Kimmel (11/13/1967, Scorpio Sheep) : Actor Damon and talk show host Kimmel have shared a legendary fake "feud" for almost 20 years, verbally jousting with each other on the show, Jimmy Kimmel Live! (2003-present), and at multiple Academy Awards ceremonies. Their relationship began one night in 2005, when Kimmel ended his show by saying, "Apologies to Matt Damon, but we ran out of time." Damon explained in 2021: "I'd never met Jimmy. He literally pulled my name out of thin air one night...He could've said, you know, George [Clooney] ― he could have said somebody else. But he just, for some reason, maybe I had a movie out that week or something, but he just said my name. And it changed the course of both of our lives. We've kept this feud going for, you know, it's gotta be 15 years now. I've had a lot of fun doing it."

Serena Williams (9/26/1981, Libra Rooster), Ciara (10/25/1985, Scorpio Ox) : Singer Ciara and professional tennis legend Williams share a longstanding close friendship. Ciara described in 2022: "I think the key to our friendship is the fact that when we get together it's not about what we do in our professional lives — it's about being free to experience our authentic selves with each other. The world gets to see her passion for tennis when she's on the court, but behind the scenes she carries that same passion and enthusiasm."

SZA and Doja Cat

Doja Cat (10/21/1995, Libra Pig), SZA (11/8/1989, Scorpio Snake) : Singer/songwriter SZA and rapper/singer/songwriter Doja Cat share a supportive friendship. They have collaborated on the tracks, "Kiss Me More" (2021), and "Kill Bill" (2023), with the former winning the Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance in 2021. Interviewing Doja Cat in 2021, SZA described: "I really feel like I relate the most to you because...I always felt like I couldn’t fit into anything. That my music isn’t 'Black enough' with 'Drew Barrymore.' Or I’m doing s— that’s strange. I never felt that as a Black girl, I could make music and be in these realms. You make music in all these other realms and make it sound like it touched my inner mind and spirit. It’s like, you’re exactly who I needed when I was in high school [and] college. I just wanted to feel like it’s ok to be an individual that isn’t really planted but is highly mutable and superfluid. Working with you was literally my dream."

Mira Sorvino (9/28/1967, Libra Sheep), Christopher Backus (10/30/1981, Scorpio Rooster) : The two actors have been married since 2004 and have four children. Sorvino described in 2021: "Date nights kids are absolutely essential when you have four children, because so much of your time is spent parenting. You're next to each other, but you're relating to your kids, rather than to each other. So we'll go on date nights where we'll leave the kids with our trusted, wonderful, amazing nanny. We'll go to a hotel somewhere...or maybe we'll go to Beverly Hills, or Venice Beach, or just someplace out of our zone, and just go to a dinner ... so that we get to be a couple, not a couple with children, just for that moment. That's really important."

Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet (10/5/1975, Libra Rabbit), Leonardo DiCaprio (11/11/1974, Scorpio Tiger) : The two actors share a strong friendship. They famously co-starred in the film, Titanic (1997), and later collaborated again in Revolutionary Road (2008). Winslet described in 2021: "Do you know Leo just turned 47? I turned 21 on that shoot [Titanic], and Leo turned 22...[On hearing that Di Caprio had complained about the arduous Titanic production] I remember! I remember that he was [miserable]! It wasn’t pleasant for any of us, but we were all in it together. Though he had way more days off than I ever bloody did. I guess I was raised to be grateful and just get on with it. I didn’t feel it was my right to be miserable, and if I was miserable I certainly would not have let a journalist know...[About meeting for the first time in three years] I couldn’t stop crying, I’ve known him for half my life! It’s not as if I’ve found myself in New York or he’s been in London and there’s been a chance to have dinner or grab a coffee and a catchup. We haven’t been able to leave our countries. Like so many friendships globally, we’ve missed each other because of Covid. He’s my friend, my really close friend. We’re bonded for life."

Graham Greene (10/2/1904, Libra Dragon), Evelyn Waugh (10/28/1903, Scorpio Rabbit) : The two celebrated British novelists shared a close friendship. Greene wrote in his autobiography, Ways of Escape (1980): "I was for many years puzzled by [Waugh's] reputation for rudeness and cruelty—I must have known him well for nearly a dozen years without seeing any example to justify it. I had even stayed with him several times in the country (a feat regarded as extraordinary by some of his friends) and had seen only an excellent and witty host, one who disguised his own inner torment in drollery rather than disturb his guest...Those who have built Evelyn up as a sort of sacred monster have left out the other side...When I come to die, I shall wish he were beside me, for he would give me no easy comfort."

Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani

Gwen Stefani (10/3/1969, Libra Rooster), Gavin Rossdale (10/30/1965, Scorpio Snake) : The two musicians met and began a long-distance relationship when their respective bands—No Doubt (Stefani) and Bush (Rossdale)—toured together in 1995. They were married from 2002 to 2016, and have three children. While they were together, Rossdale reportedly had affairs with Courtney Love and their children's nanny, discovered he had a 15-year-old lovechild, and admitted an affair with the male singer Marilyn in the 1980s. Stefani once said that No Doubt's album, Rock Steady (2001), was "[A]bout how hard it is having a relationship that's not only long-distance but also between two people in different touring rock bands." In 2020, Rossdale said: "It's a lifetime. I still think [Stefani]'s incredible. It was a lovely 20 years and we have three amazing children. There were a lot of positives, and with time they'll become more and more obvious."

Simply a wonderful match!

The central concept underlying Chinese astrology is that of the four Trine Families. One of these families consists of the Rooster and Snake (along with their most trusted friend, the Ox). Binding these signs together is a spirit of social affairs and commerce—an intuition for reading the tea leaves when it comes to any kind of enterprise or business, and a determination to follow through once opportunities are identified. The Rooster and Snake are likely to catch each other's attention at once.

These are two of the most visually engaging signs in the Chinese zodiac, the Rooster with their fashionista's panache, the Snake with their beguiling, mystical allure. But as soon as they get to talking, they are likely to discover an affinity that goes way deeper than appearances. The Rooster's incomparable flair for understanding social dynamics knits beautifully with the Snake's sixth sense for the philosophical side of human affairs. In no time, these two are likely to be sharing and enhancing each other's insightful commentaries about the state of things, in an atmosphere filled with admiration and enjoyment. Arising out of such interactions, there is a strong prospect of clear and productive direction.

Separately, these two can get overly caught up in themselves—both are prone to conceitedness, after all, and the Rooster's tendency towards self-involvement is matched by the Snake's weakness for somewhat miserly self-indulgence. Together, however, not only will these two usually be able to brush off each other's occasionally difficult traits, but they are likely to powerfully motivate one another to translate their talents into actualization and achievement. Not for nothing is the Rooster celebrated for their extraordinary capacities and resourcefulness, and the Snake too can draw on exceptional powers of commitment and concentration when they free themselves from distraction.

Don't be surprised if these two have each other's backs through thick and thin, nor if their relationship proves an enduring source of brilliant accomplishments and intense enjoyment.

Benjamin Millepied (6/10/1977, Gemini Snake), Natalie Portman (6/9/1981, Gemini Rooster) : The actor and dancer met on the set of the film, Black Swan (2010), for which Portman received an Academy Award. They have been married since 2012 and have two children together. Portman has described: "I met my husband on [the set of Black Swan], so I think I was in, like, dreamland … We had a whole, like, he was teaching me to dance. You know, one of those romantic [stories] … It was definitely exciting and fun. It was beautiful. I don't know about instant. It was like I really got to know him and that was when it seemed like, 'Oh this is the person.'"

Elizabeth Hurley (6/10/1965, Gemini Snake), Shane Warne (9/13/1969, Virgo Rooster) : The actor and cricketer were together in the early 2010s and announced a short-lived engagement in 2011. Warne described later: "I was more in love with Elizabeth than I’d realised I could be. I miss the love we had. My years with Elizabeth were the happiest of my life. I wanted to be better with her."

Jakob Dylan and Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan (5/24/1941, Gemini Snake), Jakob Dylan (12/9/1969, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two musicians are father and son. Wanting to protect the privacy of his legendary father, who in 2016 was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for his songwriting, Jakob Dylan said little about their relationship until 2005. Then, Jakob described: "When I was a kid, he was a god to me for all the right reasons. Other people have put that tag on him in some otherworldly sense. I say it as any kid who admired his dad and had a great relationship with him. He never missed a single Little League game I had. He's collected every home-run ball I ever hit. And he's still affectionate to me. Maybe he doesn't want people to know that. But I'll tell you, because it's my interview."

Kevin James (4/26/1965, Taurus Snake), Ray Romano (12/21/1957, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two comedian/actors lived together before they each achieved success, and later continued to guest-star on each other's long-running TV shows, Everybody Loves Raymond (1996-2005), and The King of Queens (1998-2007). In a joint interview, Romano said: "We bonded over getting turned down for every audition we went on." James added: "We tried to play a lot of golf, because we didn't have a lot of work."

Jay-Z and Kanye West

Kanye West (6/8/1977, Gemini Snake), Jay-Z (12/4/1969, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two rappers are longtime friends who have collaborated on multiple occasions, including the tracks "Otis", "Never Let Me Down", "Izzo (H.O.V.A)", "Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Remix)", "Run This Town", "’03 Bonnie & Clyde", "Clique", "Heart of the City (Ain't No Love)", and "Encore". Although the two have faced challenges in their relationship, Jay-Z described: "That’s my brother, we’re beyond friends. Really, like literally, my little brother is Kanye. And like your little brother, things happen sometimes...It’s like that. That’s still your sibling forever. I’ve watched Kanye from without an album. The thing that I respect about him is that he’s the same person. Like, he interrupted our studio session, stood on a table and started rapping. And we were like, ‘Could you please get down,’ and he was like ‘No, I’m the savior of Chicago!’ He didn’t have a record."

Dr. Dre (2/18/1965, Aquarius Snake), Ice Cube (6/15/1969, Gemini Rooster) : The two founding members of the rap group, NWA, formed a close collaboration and friendship in the 1980s. After a period of disputation after NWA broke up, in 2016 they appeared together on stage for the first time in 27 years. Cube described: "We just went forward. We're gonna always be like that. I don't care if we don't talk to each other for 10 years, when we see each other, it's gonna be like yesterday."

Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres

Oprah Winfrey (1/29/1954, Aquarius Snake), Ellen DeGeneres (1/26/1958, Aquarius Rooster) : The two talk show hosts are close friends, who are also neighbours in Montecito, California. In a 2021 interview, Winfrey told Degeneres: "[Y]ou have shared yourself, the expression of your talent, in a way that has made people feel so much better about themselves all these years, that is what you’ve done, Ellen. It’s so much more than the show...Every single person in your audience who has been touched by you, by your laughter, by your jokes, by your kindness, by your sharing, by your being, that’s your legacy." Degeneres replied: "I love you so much, Oprah. I am, as I say all the time, I am so honored to call you a friend. You are the wisest person I know and I just adore you."


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.
