Compatibility
Pisces Pig and Sagittarius Snake

As combative and intense as any relationship under the sun—yet there may be critical benefits here, as firstwest and secondwest offer rare prospects for personal growth, and the firsteast and secondeast can provide extraordinary achievements and social impact.

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

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

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

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

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."

Pig and Snake

Compatibility overview

In contrast to the usually more equivocal teachings of the Western zodiac, Chinese astrology takes no prisoners when it comes to matches that are considered unfavourable. Sadly, the match between the firsteast and secondeast has a terrible reputation for causing conflict and stress to both parties. There is another side to the coin, however—for, unsettling as it may be, this match is also capable of producing some stunning benefits.

Facing each other across the Chinese zodiac wheel are six Opposite matches, one of which is the combination of the Pig and Snake. Typically for this oppositional energy, it is hard to imagine two personalities with less in common than the seductive Snake and the pure-hearted Pig.

The Snake, gloriously attractive and profoundly philosophical in outlook, can also be calculating and ethically flexible when it comes to advancing their own interests. The Pig, by contrast, is the most trusting and benevolent of all the signs—any form of guile or subterfuge typically causes them distress. Communications between these two thus tend to become inevitably fraught. The Snake may feel as if their sage advice is being ignored, their cherished talents being belittled or wasted. The Pig, on the other hand, may sense either that they are being humiliated or manipulated, or that they are powerless to protect the Snake from being wounded. The potential weaknesses of both signs may thus be magnified, with the Snake becoming envious, conniving, or judgemental, the Pig turning to self-sabotage, over-indulgence, or belligerence.

A particular site of discord for these two is finances, or really any kind of shared resources. Even when relaxed, the Snake tends to be jealously guarded about expenditure. Faced with the carefree indulgences of the Pig, the Snake may have conniptions! The poor stressed Pig, meanwhile, is apt to lose themselves to extravagance or guilt. As strange as it may seem, however, there are some powerful redeeming features to this relationship. Indeed, in terms of ultimate results, this connection can prove every bit as fruitful as the challenges are disturbing. Because each of these signs is so strong in those character traits where the other is weakest, their combined qualities as a duo forms a complete spectrum of energy. Hence any kind of collaboration or association between these two—as difficult as it may be for the Snake and Pig themselves—can be brilliantly impactful.

Even if these two signs struggle to take as much pleasure in the process as they would with other signs, joint enterprises between the Snake and Pig can prove truly, transformationally, life-changing.

David Letterman and Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey (1/29/1954, Aquarius Snake), David Letterman (4/12/1947, Aries Pig) : The pair of legendary talk show hosts shared a long-running tension, beginning with Winfrey's appearance on Late Night with David Letterman (1982-1993). After the two later reconciled, and Letterman appeared on Oprah's Next Chapter (2012—),Winfrey described: "You had asked me before to do [your show] in Chicago...and it was a terrible experience for me. The guy in the audience started yelling, ‘Get her, Dave!’ You were sort of baiting the audience, and there were a bunch of drunk guys down the front. I was trying to like, you know, mitigate the whole thing, and it felt so uncomfortable to me. I didn't want to have that experience again." Also reportedly contributing to the unease between them was Letterman leaving Winfrey with the bill at a restaurant they both happened to be visiting at the same time, Oprah refusing to acknowledge Letterman when they were in the same place, Letterman making fun of Oprah's name when he presented the 2010 Academy Awards ("Oprah? Uma [Thurman]. Uma? Oprah.").

Matthew Weiner (6/29/1965, Cancer Snake), Jon Hamm (3/10/1971, Pisces Pig) : The actor and writer/producer/director established a memorable legacy through their collaboration on the acclaimed TV show, Mad Men (2007-2017). Studio executives at AMC were apparently loath to cast Hamm in the lead role, but Weiner was adamant that he was the best choice. Hamm described later, "I auditioned about seven or eight times and I was just thinking, God, at this point, I've pretty much read every single scene in the pilot to somebody. What do I have to do?" A former SVP at AMC, Christina Wayne, described: "We were like, 'Really? This is the guy you want?' Matt [Weiner] was telling us he just knew it in his gut and he could see it."

Christopher Plummer and Julie Andrews

Julie Andrews (10/1/1935, Libra Pig), Christopher Plummer (12/13/1929, Sagittarius Snake) : The two actors memorably appeared together in The Sound of Music (1965). However, Plummer was less than complimentary about both the film—which he famously called, "The Sound of Mucus"—and acting with his co-star, which he described as, "[L]ike getting hit over the head with a Valentine card."

Simon Cowell (10/7/1959, Libra Pig), Howard Stern (1/12/1954, Capricorn Snake) : The two outspoken media personalities became involved in a heated feud, after Cowell replaced Stern as a judge on America's Got Talent (2006- ) in 2015. When hackers subsequently released internal Sony emails, they apparently revealed that Cowell had lobbied to have Stern fired and to replace him. Stern reportedly said on his radio show in 2019, "Personally would I love to see Simon Cowell [expletive] suck one up his [expletive]. In other words, would I love to see him fall flat on his face...My only beef with [Cowell] is he had a campaign behind my back, which I wouldn't have known if the Koreans hadn't hacked Sony. They exposed these emails he had going, 'We can get rid of Stern and I'll work for so much cheaper.' And by the way, if I had really wanted that job, then I would've been pissed. But I just find him sleazy and he is a liar."

Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards

Denise Richards (2/17/1971, Aquarius Pig), Charlie Sheen (9/3/1965, Virgo Snake) : The two actors were married from 2002 to 2006. They had two children. Their divorce was famously acrimonious, including court proceedings and a custody dispute. Interviewed in 2022, Richards described: "The behind-the-scenes stuff was way worse than what was out there. It was really bad...There is a lot that the public doesn’t know, and you never know what goes on behind closed doors. It was not a good situation...[I asked myself, ] [w]ould I want my daughters to be married to this man? No offense to him, but it’s true. And I think he would take that, he would understand what I’m saying. ... It was very toxic."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The Square combination of firstwest and secondwest may sometimes wonder if there is anything they agree about at all, yet this potent connection also offers rare opportunities for both signs to crystallize who they are and what they want out of life, and to cultivate greater self-awareness, patience and generosity in communicating. On the Chinese zodiac side, the energy between the firsteast and secondeast is similarly powerful and conflictive—though again there are countervailing positives, as few combinations can summon such a spectacular and impactful coalescence of energy. It may take a supreme effort to maintain this ferocious connection over the long term, but for as long as it endures, this is a recipe for a blazing, unforgettable relationship.
