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.

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.

Douglas Emhoff and Kamala Harris

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 and Michael Douglas

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 and Joy Behar

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$AP Rocky and A$AP Ferg

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."

Snake and Horse

Compatibility overview

Compatibility in Chinese astrology is often seen as fairly black and white. For firsteast and secondeast, however, the picture is more complicated. There is some underlying tension, which can lead to arguments, miscommunication, or sometimes a sense of isolation. Yet this match is equally conducive to admiration and warmth. With plenty of space and effective communication, a lasting, nourishing, and pleasurable bond is well within reach.

Similar to the elements in Western astrology, the Chinese zodiac depends on four Trine Families. The families of the Horse (with the Dog and Tiger) and Snake (with the Ox and Rooster) have a somewhat fractious relationship. Indeed, some of the combinations among this group are notoriously difficult (e.g., the Horse and Ox, or the Snake and Tiger). Fortunately for the Horse and Snake, they can avoid the most troubling aspects of this surrounding energy. This gives them plenty of scope to find common ground.

There is a good chance these two will appear together in public or have some element of performance involved in their relationship. The swashbuckling Horse is a quintessential entertainer, but the Snake too usually has powerful charisma, and sex appeal is one of their most defining characteristics. Mutual physical attraction is thus a hallmark of many Horse/Snake pairings. Abstract ideas and debates are also likely to figure prominently here. The Horse is an intrinsically ethical creature, at least in terms of their own personal standards, while the Snake is the most famously philosophical of all the Chinese signs. Where they agree, these two signs will make a formidable argumentative team.

Tensions are perhaps most likely to arise around aspirations and the demands of the relationship. The Horse is one of the most independent-minded signs, and may be unsympathetic to the Snake's desire for flattery, closeness, and occasional jealousy. The Snake's other-worldly ability to manoeuvre social situations may sometimes seem manipulative or morally dubious to the high-minded Horse, which the sensitive Snake may find quite soul-destroying. Overall, the Snake tends to be more pragmatic and business-oriented than the Horse, which can pose a risk to their mutual respect in intimate settings.

With sensitivity to the kinds of challenges this relationship will inevitably pose, there is a great deal of potential for warmth and support between these two signs, which can result in a lasting and impactful bond.

Gayle King and Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey (1/29/1954, Aquarius Snake), Gayle King (12/28/1954, Capricorn Horse) : The iconic talk show host and television personality have been close friends since the mid-1970s. When Winfrey interviewed King for the first time in 2020, King described: "The secret to me is trust. I trust you totally, even if I disagree with you, I still trust you. I have this joke with Oprah where people say, I found my best friend with my husband...I say to Oprah, ‘If you ever walked in and caught me with Stedman, you should not be mad, you should take me to the mental institution. Don’t be mad, I need help!’ But I mean, we’re honest with each other and trust each other and actually are very like-minded."

Ron Eldard (2/20/1965, Pisces Snake), Julianna Margulies (6/8/1966, Gemini Horse) : After originally meeting at an acting class in the early 90s, the two actors reunited on the set of ER and were together for over 10 years. Margulies described their background and plans to work together in 2002: "Ron and I had met in acting class in 1991. We were great friends. Ron has seen me at my worst and most dejected...Doing movies together is a no-brainer, but the thought of acting opposite Ron on stage is intimidating...He's so breathtaking on stage, but I want to give it a try. Ron says he wants to direct me in a play."

Paul and Linda McCartney

Linda McCartney (9/24/1941, Libra Snake), Paul McCartney (6/18/1942, Gemini Horse) : The musician and photographer were married from 1969 until Linda McCartney's death in 1998. They adopted Linda's child from a previous relationship and had three children together. They also played together in the band Wings. McCartney has described: "We were very up and down, quite funky compared to the eventual image of '25 years of married bliss! Aren't they lucky for people in showbiz?' But we are. You get this picture of us swanning along in a little rowboat managing to avoid the white water, but we were right in the middle of that white water, man, so it's even more miraculous that we made it. But we did."

Dina Eastwood (7/11/1965, Cancer Snake), Clint Eastwood (5/31/1930, Gemini Horse) : The celebrated actor/director and news anchor were married between 1996 and 2014. In a 2007 interview, Dina Eastwood described: "Being married to Clint is almost a full-time job, just trying to keep up with him...Breaks are great for every marriage. The longest we go [apart] is maybe 10 days. When you travel with Clint, it’s a one-week trip and three cities. He works from the second we arrive until the second we leave... I love that he’s so conscientious about nature...He’s one of those people who takes bugs outside....I wonder if it’s because he gets so much attention from humans, and I think he’s self-conscious about getting so much attention, that I wonder if he fixates on animals because he gets to give all the attention."

Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson

Daniel Radcliffe (7/23/1989, Leo Snake), Emma Watson (4/15/1990, Aries Horse) : The two actors grew up together filming the Harry Potter series of films, and have compared their relationship to close siblings. Radcliffe described: "Oh, God. We used to argue about everything. Religion. Politics. I remember one of the big arguments we had on the fourth film – [Watson and I] didn’t speak to each other for a couple of days – was about… She was arguing about the Latin language, that nobody knows what it sounds like, what a Latin accent should be. And I was like, 'Yeah, but it’s still spoken a lot in the Catholic church.'...[It] got totally out of hand. She was furious; I was livid. I certainly would advise anyone, if you’re going to debate with her, know your [expletive."

Paul Simon (10/13/1941, Libra Snake), Edie Brickell (3/10/1966, Pisces Horse) : The two musicians wed in 1992 and have three children together. Brickell has described how she saw Simon watching her while she performed on Saturday Night Live: "Even though I'd performed the song hundreds of times in clubs, he made me forget how the song went when I looked at him. We can show the kids the tape and say, 'Look, that's when we first laid eyes on each other.'"

Chris Rock and Jerry Seinfeld

Chris Rock (2/7/1965, Aquarius Snake), Jerry Seinfeld (4/29/1954, Taurus Horse) : The two comedians have famously been friends for decades. During a 2011 HBO comedy special, they debated how much new material comedians should use in their live shows. Rock said: "See, this is the eternal argument between [Seinfeld] and I. We've been having this discussion for literally our whole relationship...I like a whole new show...It's a completely new body of work. And that's the way I look at it. Here's the new stuff." Seinfeld countered: "When I go see somebody work, I don't want to see your new hour...I want to see the act... Every year I get rid of, I don't know, 10 or 20% percent and I add...So, every five years or four years... I don't know. I don't really keep track of it. But I do feel like there are those core things [that should be maintained over time]."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

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.
