Compatibility
Pisces Dog and Sagittarius Rooster

It may appear to be something of an energy minefield, but there is real potential here—provided the famously disagreeable combination of firstwest and secondwest fulfills its potential for life-changing personal growth, and the precarious firsteast and secondeast match is carefully controlled.

Western Zodiac

Pisces and Sagittarius

Compatibility overview

This match is at once explosive and enriching. As a Square connection, which occurs when Western signs are three steps apart on the zodiac wheel, the relationship between firstwest and secondwest attracts remarkably intense energy. Chances are, this influence will involve some important challenges, but it can also prove enormously beneficial.

Beware the Square! Though somewhat tongue-in-cheek, the idea that a warning may be necessary for the combination of Pisces and Sagittarius is not completely out of place. For there is no shortage of head-to-head confrontation in this supercharged pairing.

Classical approaches to astrology identify some serious headwinds here. The respective elements—the Fire of Sagittarius, the Water of Pisces—are generally regarded as one of the least compatible mixtures. Both signs share the somewhat elusive Mutable modality, so there is none of the balancing influence that Cardinal and Fixed signs offer these two in other combinations. Pisces, being typically dreamy, gentle, and polite, are likely to struggle with Sagittarius' sometimes brusque, even disdainful, manner of delivery. Sagittarius can be exceptionally driven, and may at times disapprove of Pisces as flaky, overly meek, or prone to wasting their time. However, while Pisces can seem idealistic to the point of fragility, they are usually loath to compromise on their commitment to beauty and propriety. Some of Sagittarius' requirements may thus seem to be more trouble than they're worth.

As surprising as it may seem, however, given all these tensions, there is also much to be gained here. Sagittarius has been called the most philosophical of the Western signs, and there is a powerful synergy between their instinctive and all-encompassing command of ethics and Pisces' innate sense of oneness with the universe. As ever, opposite personalities can share intense attraction, and while these two may challenge and confuse each other, they may equally share a kind of mystified admiration. Perhaps most importantly, there is a quality of "partner stand ups" to this relationship. By forcing each other to confront what is most important in their lives, their respective identities can rise together, building mutual and independent strength.

It's not an easy road for these two, by any means, but it may ultimately prove a long and rewarding one.

Frank Sinatra and Quincy Jones (click for attribution/s)

Frank Sinatra (12/12/1915, Sagittarius Rabbit), Quincy Jones (3/14/1933, Pisces Rooster) : The legendary singer and the composer/arranger/producer were friends who collaborated on several occasions, including on the albums, It Might as Well Be Swing (1964), Sinatra at the Sands (1966), and L.A. Is My Lady (1984). In his autobiography, Q: The Autobiography of Quincy Jones (2001), Jones described: "Frank was my style. He was hip, straight up and straight ahead, and, above all, a monster musician. I loved him, man, I admit it, I loved him as much as anyone else I ever worked with, because there was no gray to the man. It was either black or white: If he loved you, there was nothing in the world he wouldn’t do for you. If he didn’t like you, shame on your ass…Frank led me into a new world. A land of dreams, high living—anything you felt like doin’, whatever, with whomever, whenever you felt like doin’ it—and making the music we both loved."

Milla Jovovich (12/17/1975, Sagittarius Rabbit), Luc Besson (3/18/1959, Pisces Pig) : The actor and director were married from 1997 to 1999, and famously collaborated on the films, The Fifth Element (1997), and The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (1999). Jovovich has described: "Luc had cast me as the perfect woman [in The Fifth Element]. That felt wonderful in itself, but then when I saw how he had filmed me in the movie, I knew he loved me as much as I loved him...The movie [Joan of Arc] did not break us up. Luc and my personal life never got entangled in our professional life. If we could make movies 365 days a year, we would still be together. Luc and I have this unique creative connection. We did get married. But we're not together anymore in that sort of particular context. We're best friends, apart from being together or not. He loves me, I love him."

Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber (click for attribution/s)

Hailey Bieber (11/22/1996, Sagittarius Rat), Justin Bieber (3/1/1994, Pisces Dog) : The musician and model/media personality first dated in 2016, and after a hiatus reconciled and married during 2018/2019. In 2019, Justin Bieber explained: "Fighting is good. Doesn't the Bible talk about righteous anger? We don't want to lose each other. We don't want to say the wrong thing, and so we've been struggling with not expressing our emotions, which has been driving me absolutely crazy because I just need to express myself, and it's been really difficult to get her to say what she feels."

Paula Patton (12/5/1975, Sagittarius Rabbit), Robin Thicke (3/10/1977, Pisces Snake) : The actor and singer were married between 2005 and 2015, and have a son together. Thicke has described how their relationship has established an equilibrium after an at times acrimonious divorce: "There's so much emotion when you first break up, and there's so much stuff that spills over...But time heals those wounds, and she's an incredible person. Once you can put yourself second, your son rises to the top and you go, 'It's not about us anymore.' We're very lucky the way everything has worked out."

William H. Macy and Felicity Huffman (click for attribution/s)

Felicity Huffman (12/9/1962, Sagittarius Tiger), William H. Macy (3/13/1950, Pisces Tiger) : The two actors married in 1997, after 15 years of dating on-and-off. They have two children. Describing her decision to marry, Huffman said: "I was finally smart enough to go, 'I'm going to marry this guy or really lose him for good.' … I knew I couldn’t say no. It was the work I had to do in order to bring myself to the marriage and then the work that I did to be able to trust another person and see what comes out of that comfort and that safety. I was able to blossom out of that."

Ray Romano (12/21/1957, Sagittarius Rooster), Anna Romano (2/24/1963, Pisces Rabbit) : The successful comedian and actor/cinematographer met while working together as bank tellers and married in 1987—before Ray Romano committed full-time to comedy in 1990. They have four children together. Speaking humorously about their marriage, Ray said in 1997, "I talk a lot about being married and being tired and not having sex. She’s fine with it. Whenever she has a problem, I tell her to go cry on a bag of money."

Ozuna and Anuel AA (click for attribution/s)

Anuel AA (11/26/1992, Sagittarius Monkey), Ozuna (3/13/1992, Pisces Monkey) : The two singer/rappers have collaborated multiple times, including the chart-topping songs, "China" (2019), "Baila Baila Baila Remix" (2019), and "Adicto" (2019), and the album, Los Dioses (2021). In a joint interview, Ozuna said: "Someone has to sing about the pretty things in life, but someone has to sing about the ugly things, too — what you live when you come from where we came from." Anuel AA explained: "I did music for the street, and Ozuna was commercial. But because we started working together so much, we evolved. Ozuna began to make music for the street, and the street responded. And I started to do more commercial music, and the people in that world responded. We’ve had ups and downs, but we’ve never turned our backs on each other."

Dog and Rooster

Compatibility overview

Chinese astrology is far less equivocal about matches considered to attract bad energy than its Western counterpart. Unfortunately, the combination of firsteast and secondeast is one of the six notorious Adversary pairings, which generally have the worst reputation of any in the Chinese zodiac.

The six Adversary matches along the fourth degree axis are well known for their potentially unstable energy. In the case of the Dog and Rooster, the earnest diligence of the Dog runs headlong into the Rooster's endless enterprise and panache.

If the sensibility of the Dog is captured in a single concept, it is their love and support for the underdog, for causes that are undervalued and neglected by society at large. The Rooster is almost incapable of fulfilling this description. Rooster natives tend to be larger than life from the moment of first impact, fashionable to the hilt, with energy to burn. Hence these two will likely clash from the beginning. In the eyes of the Dog, the Rooster may appear to be all pomp and no substance—a noisy, posing, and superficial distraction from people and projects that are truly deserving. For the Rooster, meanwhile, the Dog can be an interminably boring worrywart, a judgemental handbrake on the kinds of expansive enterprise that make life worth living.

Initial friction can become especially damaging over time. As a duo, these two will tend to take turns at being hypercritical, overanxious, wounded and bitter, or patronizingly antagonistic—oftentimes all at once. The hallmark of this energy is that hostility is more indirect than direct. Fury is thus more likely to fester than explode, and instability can persist without ever building to a direct confrontation. Attempts to defuse the tension are likely to achieve little more than rehashing the same old disputes, so contrary are the instincts of these conflicting personalities.

As ever in astrology, success is not foreclosed by such troublesome energy. But strongly positive influences on the Western side, or sophisticated strategies for conflict resolution, may be necessary for these two to find happiness together.

Madonna and Mariah Carey (click for attribution/s)

Mariah Carey (3/27/1969, Aries Rooster), Madonna (8/16/1958, Leo Dog) : A longstanding feud between the two music superstars has seen them exchange harsh criticisms. Said Madonna, "We have to realize that the same country that acquitted O.J. is the same country that...buys Mariah Carey records. It's this homogeneity. But it's got nothing to do with art." Carey responded, "I really haven't paid attention to Madonna since I was in seventh or eighth grade when she used to be popular."

Tucker Carlson (5/16/1969, Taurus Rooster), Donald Trump (6/14/1946, Gemini Dog) : The 45th US President and media personality had appeared to have a supportive relationship, with Carlson being described in 2020 as, "[P]erhaps the highest-profile proponent of 'Trumpism'." However, private messages revealed in early 2023 revealed Carlson's antipathy towards Trump. Carlson's messages included: "All of [Trump's business ventures] fail. What he’s good at is destroying things. He’s the undisputed world champion of that."; "We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can’t wait...I hate him passionately."; and "[Trump's] a demonic force, a destroyer. But he’s not going to destroy us. I’ve been thinking about this every day for four years."

Prince William and Meghan Markle (click for attribution/s)

Meghan Markle (8/4/1981, Leo Rooster), Prince William (6/21/1982, Cancer Dog) : The complex relationship between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry and other members of the British royal family, particularly Harry's brother Prince William and his wife Princess Catherine, has become one of the most famous feuds of all time. During the Netflix documentary series, Harry & Meghan, Markle spoke about a senior aide to William who gave unfavourable evidence in a lawsuit she brought against an English tabloid. "It's your brother," Markle said to Harry on screen. "Not gonna say anything about your brother, but it's so obvious."

Quincy Jones (3/14/1933, Pisces Rooster), Michael Jackson (8/29/1958, Virgo Dog) : The producer and musician collaborated on the celebrated albums Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad. Since Jackson's death, Jones has been outspoken in his criticisms of the "King of Pop", saying, "Michael stole a lot of stuff. He stole a lot of songs...The notes don’t lie, man. He was as Machiavellian as they come. Greedy, man. Greedy."

Priscilla and Elvis Presley (click for attribution/s)

Priscilla Presley (5/24/1945, Gemini Rooster), Elvis Presley (1/8/1935, Capricorn Dog) : The musician dubbed "The King of Rock and Roll" and the actor/businesswoman met when Priscilla was 14. They later had a famously troubled marriage. Both reportedly had multiple affairs. Priscilla described how Elvis stopped being attracted to her after their daughter was born, as he "had a hard time dealing with me being a mother and the little girl that I was to him", and referred to herself as "Elvis’ living doll, to fashion as he pleased."

Errol Flynn (6/20/1909, Gemini Rooster), David Niven (3/1/1910, Pisces Dog) : The two actors from Hollywood's golden age were frequent co-stars and lived together for a time. Niven's memoirs included seriously unflattering descriptions of Flynn. "The great thing about Errol," Niven wrote, "was you always knew exactly where you stood with him because he always let you down."

Minnie Driver (1/31/1970, Aquarius Rooster), Matt Damon (10/8/1970, Libra Dog) : The two actors were a high-profile celebrity couple after they began dating while co-starring in Good Will Hunting. Driver has claimed that Damon effectively broke up with her by announcing on Oprah that he was single: "It seemed like a good forum for him to announce to the world that we were no longer together, which I found fantastically inappropriate. Of course, he was busy declaring his love for me on David Letterman a month previously."

Final Words

The Square energy between firstwest and secondwest is perhaps as contrary as any in the Western zodiac. However, while it may sometimes feel as if there is nothing these two cannot disagree about, their disputations can yield great positives, offering rare insight into their individual identities, and producing lifelong benefits. In this case, the greater challenge may be navigating the disturbing energy of the firsteast and secondeast, one of the Chinese zodiac’s most notorious combinations. Clear communication, independent roles in the relationship, and encouraging sensitivity wherever possible may be important for these two, if they are to maximize the available prospects for successful collaboration and affection.
