Compatibility
Pisces Dragon and Pisces Dog

The own-sign match of firstwest and secondwest gives this relationship a foothold on solid ground, which may help to stabilize the combative but impactful energy between the firsteast and the secondeast.

Compatibility overview

Perhaps the most quiet of achievers. Pisces is a somewhat contradictory sign, with strong inclinations towards both intimacy and seclusion. Two Pisces together may discover a level of closeness and shared experience they never imagined might be possible.

Matches between natives of the same sign can sometimes feel as if they have too much in common. There can be a certain lack of excitement, a sense—conscious or unconscious—that there is a lack of balance, an excess of Yin, not enough Yang.

Fortunately for Pisces, though, their sign is intrinsically characterized by duality, as symbolized by the image of fish swimming in opposing directions. In the right circumstances, it is possible for these two to achieve a rare balance for two supposedly similar souls, taking full advantage of their extremely harmonious shared element of Water. They may find themselves alternating between more expressive and more unspoken communications, between lead and supportive roles in the relationship. The intimate, dreamy nature of this sign means they often attribute great (greatest, even) significance to close interpersonal relationships. So it is hardly surprising that two Pisces can develop a powerful bond, even if need be without regular contact, their shared sensibilities echoing across great distances in space or time.

Of course, there is always the possibility these two will allow each other so much freedom that they end up growing apart. Classically, the Mutable modality of Pisces is perhaps more likely to achieve reliable balance with Cardinal or Fixed signs. An influence from the Chinese zodiac that lends some practicality to this superabundance of dreamy, ethereal Piscean energy could only be helpful, for example. But given regular opportunities to share their highly compatible abstract values, there is beautiful depth here, and both parties may be richly rewarded and nourished—not to mention astonished—to find such a gentle kindred soul as a fellow Pisces.

Daniel Craig (3/2/1968, Pisces Monkey), Rachel Weisz (3/7/1970, Pisces Dog) : The two actors have been married since 2011. In 2019, Weisz explained why they have a lower public profile than some other celebrity couples: "I’m very happy being married, very, very happy. I really take my hat off to [other movie stars who make their 'coupledom' part of their brand]. But Daniel and I are really similar. We just literally don’t know how to do that. We’re just really crap at talking about our private lives."

Boyd explained later: "It was really fabulous in the beginning. We were both so young, we were able to go out, hang out, play, I introduced him to my friends...We had a wonderful time. He’d go off on tour and I’d hang out with my friends, while we all waited for George to come back. He was really the sweetest guy."

Benny Blanco and Justin Bieber

Benny Blanco (3/8/1988, Pisces Dragon), Justin Bieber (3/1/1994, Pisces Dog) : The two artists have collaborated multiple times as singer and writer/producer, including on the tracks, "Eenie Meenie" (2010), "Somebody to Love" (2010), "Love Yourself" (2015), and "Cold Water" (2016). The song, "Lonely" (2020), marked the first time Blanco is also co-credited as an artist. Blanco described: "[Bieber and I have] been working since 2009. I have seen this kid in every state. There have been times that were really good in the studio. There have been times that were not so good in the studio. We grow and learn in the best and worst times. He’s a good dude with a good heart. That’s essential to me. He’s also got one of the best pop voices, ever. He’s insane...[With 'Lonely',] I think we just got closer...If you’re hanging with him on the regular...you’re seeing things up close. You’re part of his life. You’re right next to him. You’re rehearsing an acoustic performance and he’s crying. This is another level. He’s opening up to me. We’re having deep conversations together; I don’t think that many people get to have those with Justin Bieber. We were already boys together. This song is us being brothers and shit...When you’re both the artists, you’re exposing yourselves. You both have to be really open. You both have to be 100% yourself."

Kate Mara (2/27/1983, Pisces Pig), Jamie Bell (3/14/1986, Pisces Tiger) : The two actors married in 2017. Said Mara in 2018, "I'm very protective of our marriage. All the traveling we both have to do for work can make it hard, but we have a rule that we will never go longer than two weeks without seeing each other. Even if we have to spend all day traveling to have just 24 hours together, it's worth it in order to have a strong relationship."

Dragon and Dog

Compatibility overview

Chinese astrologers are well known for unflinching assessments of relationships they believe do not attract good fortune. That is certainly the case with the match between Dog and Dragon, one of the six famous Opposites. In short, this relationship has a notorious reputation for hostility and tension. Nevertheless, there is more to the story here, as the prospects are by no means exclusively bad.

The infamous reputation of the Opposite matches in the Chinese zodiac stems from the directly opposed energy between them. Negative traits tend to be constantly amplified. In the case of the Dog and Dragon, the faithful Dog is apt to get caught between fawning infatuation and deep-seated anxiety. The Dragon is likely to exploit cruelty and criticism to get the attention they crave.

Probably the greatest problem is the potential lack of respect. The Dog's well-earned reputation for hard work and loyalty may seem wasteful and weak in the eyes of the proud Dragon. Meanwhile, the Dragon's incomparable flare and drive could strike the Dog as lacking substance—as well as ignoring, even bullying, those less fortunate.

When these two find themselves in partnership, whatever the context, it can be helpful to keep these essential differences in mind. Ultimately, they each supply universal energy that the other does not have. While perhaps unsympathetic as between them, the result can be awesomely powerful. This is a pairing that can dominate social, business, or political circles, sporting arenas, indeed the world at large. But they are likely to need a range of more congenial allies, too, if they are to maintain patience with one another for an extended length of time.

Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump

Vladimir Putin (10/7/1952, Libra Dragon), Donald Trump (6/14/1946, Gemini Dog) : The relationship between President Trump of the US and President Putin of Russia was a source of much fascination during the former's term in the Oval Office. In the US, the apparent friendliness between the two—historically unprecedented between Russian and American leaders—drew criticism from Democrats and even some Republicans.

Harvey Weinstein (3/19/1952, Pisces Dragon), Steven Spielberg (12/18/1946, Sagittarius Dog) : The celebrated film director and now-infamous producer already shared a fraught relationship long before Weinstein's conviction as a sex offender. The tension between them resulted in two competing movie projects about the kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara, as well as a confrontation over Shakespeare in Love defeating Saving Private Ryan for the 1999 Best Picture Oscar. "When I saw Spielberg later, I don’t think it was a lovefest," Weinstein said about the incident. "That was a tough one."

Jeb Bush and George W. Bush

Jeb Bush (2/11/1953, Aquarius Dragon), George W. Bush (7/6/1946, Cancer Dog) : The two brothers, part of the Bush political dynasty and respectively a former US President and Governor of Florida, have famously shared a fractious but formally supportive relationship. A cousin described in a published memoir that, "When they were young, Jeb was just somebody for George to torture."

Orlando Bloom (1/13/1977, Capricorn Dragon), Justin Bieber (3/1/1994, Pisces Dog) : The singer and actor made headlines after an altercation between them in Ibiza, Spain. Footage of the event appeared to show Bloom throwing a chair at Bieber.

Nicki Minaj and Rihanna

Rihanna (2/20/1988, Pisces Dragon), Nicki Minaj (12/8/1982, Sagittarius Dog) : These two legendary entertainers collaborated together on tracks including "Fly" and "Raining Men" in 2010. After years of a rumoured feud and apparently unfollowing each other on social media, they reunited in 2021.

Chelsea Noble (12/4/1964, Sagittarius Dragon), Kirk Cameron (10/12/1970, Libra Dog) : The two actors married in 1991 and have six children (four of whom are adopted). They met on the set of the TV show, Growing Pains (1985-1992). They have since starred together in films including A Little Piece of Heaven (1991) and Mercy Rule (2014), and several times Noble has played an uncredited "kissing double", as Cameron is an Evangelical Christian who refuses to kiss a woman who is not his wife. Noble has described: "We've learned that we have to be respectful fo each other's need for personal space. On the set, we have separate dressing rooms, and sometimes that's where we find personal time. Because of our friendship, we can say 'I need a little space' or 'I need some time alone,' and we respect that, instead of taking it personally...Instead of taking our frustrations out on each other, we've learned how to best work through things. We don't walk away from each other, or run to separate work places. We face each other and work things out."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The own-sign combination of firstwest and secondwest means these two may be able to rely on a shared outlook for much of the time, though they will need to watch out for the kinds of overfamiliarity and contestation that are inevitable with a lack of balancing energy. The real challenge for these two, however, will be managing the ferocious oppositional energy of firsteast and secondeast, which can be as unsettling as it is powerful.
