Compatibility overview

This calm and supportive energy is one of the treasures of the Western zodiac. The combination of firstwest and secondwest has an understated quality, usually more in the manner of a trusted confidant than Romeo and Juliet. However, the energy these two share has boundless potential for encouragement, kindness, and reliability.

An interval of two steps around the Western zodiac wheel, as there is between Capricorn and Pisces, forms a Sextile connection. This famously relaxed, nurturing energy means these two typically enjoy a shared freedom from tension or constraints from the very beginning.

Capricorn's patient commitment to achieve mastery in their chosen field holds a visceral appeal for the wise, sensitive Pisces. Capricorn's intuition for power means they have a rare appreciation for the diplomatic and caring side of Pisces' nature, as well as the depth of insight and hard work Pisces can provide when they are comfortable. The elements here—Earth for Capricorn and Water for Pisces—are reliably harmonious, lending themselves to natural dependence and co-existence. The modalities are equally compatible. Capricorn is a Cardinal sign, an always-beginning energy synonymous with ideas and projects at their most pure and formative, while Pisces' Mutable nature brings a reflective emphasis on consequences, effects, and implications. Hence these two are extremely effective collaborators. In an easygoing atmosphere balancing good humor with comfortable silences, Capricorn contributes perseverance and astuteness, while Pisces brings perception and empathy.

Predictably for a Sextile coupling, both these signs usually retain a strong sense of their individual identity. This is often a relationship that these two can return to as regularly or infrequently as they choose, safe in the knowledge that the warmth and encouragement they share will be just as dependable as ever. In fact, if there is a qualification for Capricorn and Pisces, it is that the energy between them can be too relaxed at times. Affection here is more gently protective than intense or passionate, meaning this connection can sometimes be taken for granted or not prioritized. Capricorn and Pisces may find the very lack of pressure between them causes them to take a back seat in each other's lives, even when that might not be the path most conducive to their shared happiness.

On the plus side, the natural flexibility of this energy means it is capable of narrowing or widening as circumstances require. In whatever context, and however much or little time these two signs spend together, there is every chance the dependable qualities of reassurance, motivation, and tenderness will enrich both of their lives.

Cheryl Howard (12/23/1953, Capricorn Snake), Ron Howard (3/1/1954, Pisces Horse) : The actor/director and actor met in high school. They have been married since 1975 and have four children. Howard has described: "People say, ‘How’d you do it?’ There’s no technique. There’s no tactic other than communication is really important. You have to learn to communicate and have difficult conversations in constructive ways. Beyond that, there’s an element of luck because people either grow together or they don’t and I don’t think you can force that."

Rod Stewart (1/10/1945, Capricorn Monkey), Penny Lancaster (3/15/1971, Pisces Pig) : The singer and model have been married for 14 years and have two children. Stewart has described: "Intimacy is the most important thing in a relationship. Don't take it for granted. I'm not talking about sex, but a kiss and a cuddle and a hold. Penny and I do that every morning. We hug each other — sometimes in bed, sometimes out of bed, all throughout the day. It's a wonderful relationship."

Cary and Jennifer Grant

Cary Grant (1/18/1904, Capricorn Rabbit), Jennifer Grant (2/26/1966, Pisces Horse) : The two actors were father and daughter. At one time one of the most famous actors in the world, Cary Grant famously retired from acting in 1966, after Jennifer was born, to devote himself to her upbringing. In her book, Good Stuff: A Reminiscence of My Father, Cary Grant, Jennifer describes: "To me, [my father] was like a marvelous painting. All the art historians wish to break down the motives, and the scheme, and so on. I would rather know, as I do, his essence. I believe that at the heart of a person lies passion. For the last twenty years of his life, I was given the extraordinary privilege to experience the full, vital passion of his heart. Dad used the expression 'good stuff' to declare happiness or, as one of his friends put it, he said it when pleased with the nature of things. He said it a lot. He had a happy way of life. His life was 'good stuff.'"

Mary Tyler Moore (12/29/1936, Capricorn Rat), Bernadette Peters (2/28/1948, Pisces Rat) : The two actors were close friends before Moore's death in 2017. Together, they co-founded Broadway Barks, an annual dog and cat adoption event benefiting New York City animal shelters and adoption agencies. About vacationing together, Peters described: "Mary was always the planner. Mary was always the one who would say, ‘We wanna go to the Bahamas, and we're gonna swim with the dolphins.' She was the one that always came up with the ideas and the adventures and things to do. Life was precious to her, and she knew if she kept moving that was healthy for her."

Niki Lauda and Lewis Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton (1/7/1985, Capricorn Rat), Niki Lauda (2/22/1949, Pisces Ox) : The two Formula One world champions became close friends, after Lauda was instrumental in luring Hamilton to drive for his Mercedes team in 2013. Speaking after Lauda's death in 2019, Hamilton described: "I just so miss talking to the dude, I miss his texts, the videos we shared. I still have them. I’ve kept them and still revisit them. Without his support I probably wouldn’t have made the switch to come to this team...That’s what he was best at – support and being real...To have someone talking to the [Formula One] board who understands and empathises how difficult it is to deliver weekend after weekend, when you make a mistake. That is where he was such a great pillar for me...When he took his hat off [in salute to an achievement in the car] or he goes like this [the finger/thumb gesture indicating something very close to a skirting disaster limit], you knew it was real, that you’d really done something. I miss him a lot."

James Earl Jones (1/17/1931, Capricorn Horse), Cecilia Hart (2/19/1948, Pisces Rat) : The two actors were married from 1982 until Hart's death in 2016, and had one child together. Receiving a Lifetime Achievement award at the Tony awards in 2017, Jones said: "I want to thank my wife Ceci for being such a wonderful companion in my life and in my work. And for being the great coproducer of our son Flynn and for being so dazzling on the red carpet."

Lou Reed and David Bowie

David Bowie (1/8/1947, Capricorn Dog), Lou Reed (3/2/1942, Pisces Horse) : The two legendary musicians were friends who collaborated multiple times, including when Bowie co-produced (with Mick Ronson) Reed's landmark album, Transformer. Reed described in 2004: "How can I remember my first impression of David Bowie? That’s really… [smiles] Okay… I mean, David and I are friends to this day. He’s very smart and very, very talented, and I met him in New York and thought, ‘This guy would be a fun guy to work with; we could really bring something to the dance.’"

Compatibility overview

In terms of sheer quantity of energy, this combination is the most blazing and abundant in the Chinese zodiac. To be sure, there can only be one sun in the sky. But if these two can somehow bring their combined dynamism under control, they can forge a mightily close and impactful bond.

Naturally, matches between natives of the same Chinese zodiac sign involve the same Trine Family. Like the elements in Western astrology, this means that the relationship begins on a sure footing from the outset. The family of the Dragon—which also includes the Monkey and Rat—emphasizes creativity, enthusiasm, and expression. And the Dragon is the most expressive sign of all, blessed with such a commanding presence they are destined to be the center of attention, whether they like it or not.

Two Dragons together will thus most likely share immediately an understanding of what it is like to inspire awe in others, for better and worse. They will respect each other's eternal passion for performance and desire for impact. They will sympathize with the other's loneliness, knowing the isolation that can result from—through no real fault of their own—tending to outface and overwhelm less intense signs.

There are, of course, drawbacks to having so much in common. The absence of contrary, balancing energy is something all own-sign astrological matches have to deal with. For two Dragons, each will be accustomed to being the star of the show; sharing the limelight may sometimes require playing an unfamiliar supporting role. There is also the Dragon's instinct for independence to contend with. The Dragon is by nature a quintessential "rolling stone". A pair of Dragons may shine blindingly bright together but find they roam too freely when apart. Sensitivity is not the Dragon's strongest suit, so they may not pick up on the growing distance between them until it is already too late.

None of these potential tensions is insurmountable, however. If the relationship between two Dragons becomes the true source of their attention, impact, and reward, then the affinities and emotional understanding they share can provide incredible sustenance. Dragons simply do not do things by halves. If two Dragons forge a successful relationship—whether professional, familial, or intimate—then they are likely to be no less astonishing together than they are individually.

A$AP Rocky and Rihanna

Rihanna (2/20/1988, Pisces Dragon), A$AP Rocky (10/3/1988, Libra Dragon) : The musician/businesswoman and rapper/record producer have been friends since at least 2012 and were first romantically linked in 2013. In 2021, they announced publicly they were a couple, and in 2022 Rihanna gave birth to their baby son. Previously a self-confessed ladies' man, A$AP was asked in 2021 what it was like being in a relationship: "So much better. So much better when you got the One. She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones. I think when you know, you know. She's the One."

Lil Dicky (3/15/1988, Pisces Dragon), Benny Blanco (3/8/1988, Pisces Dragon) : The rapper and music producer are close friends who starred memorably together in the show, Dave. Speaking of Lil Dicky's "No Stone Unturned Method" in the recording studio, Blanco has described: "[Lil Dicky's] the worst person I've ever been in the studio with. But also the best person."

Dionne Warwick and Burt Bacharach

Burt Bacharach (5/12/1928, Taurus Dragon), Dionne Warwick (12/12/1940, Sagittarius Dragon) : The songwriter and singer shared an iconic collaboration (with lyricist Hal David), recording 33 hits between 1962 and 1971, including "I Say A Little Prayer" and "Walk on By". Though they fell out in the 1970s, they reconciled in 1985 to record a version of "That's What Friends Are For". Warwick described at the time: "We realized we were more than just friends. We were family. Time has a way of giving people the opportunity to grow and understand ... Working with Burt is not a bit different from how it used to be. He expects me to deliver and I can. He knows what I'm going to do before I do it, and the same with me. That's how intertwined we've been."

Joss Ackland (2/29/1928, Pisces Dragon), Rosemary Kirkcaldy (1/15/1929, Capricorn Dragon) : The two actors were married for over fifty years until Kirkcaldy's death in 2002. They had seven children and 32 grandchildren. In 2009, Joss Ackland wrote a moving tribute in which he described caring for Kirkcaldy as she suffered from motor neuron disease during her final years and the great bond they shared: "Sixty years ago, less was considerably more: the pleasure of being together, the joy of the first touch, the longing for the unobtainable—and then, when the unobtainable was obtained, more became considerably more. We were soulmates. We loved each other more than we loved ourselves." Ackland also quoted Kirkcaldy's diary entries from the year before she died: "I woke at seven this morning with Joss crying—he'd had a bad dream. We then had a lovely cuddle. I do love Joss so very much. We've had the most wonderful, exciting, romantic life together, and I really don't want to leave my soulmate."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The Sextile match of firstwest and secondwest is one of the most dependable combinations in the Western zodiac, so from the beginning these two will likely share a good-natured and pleasurable connection. This natural camaraderie may be enhanced by the own-sign combination of firsteast and secondeast, which offers plenty of scope for a shared outlook and mutual admiration. There are limitations—the Sextile is sometimes so easy-breezy both signs overlook its potential, while the lack of balance on the Eastern side may at times cramp the relationship or make dispute resolution difficult. On balance, though, these are two kindred spirits, with excellent prospects of providing each other with long-term support, tenderness, and enjoyment.
