Compatibility
Pisces Tiger and Virgo Sheep

Pisces and Virgo

Compatibility overview

Astrology often reveals that the cliché "opposites attract" can cause more problems than solutions. In the case of firstwest and secondwest, however, nothing could be further from the truth. For although this match brings no shortage of disagreements and confrontation, the areas of accord are equally if not more powerful. The result? One of the strongest foundations for a relationship in the entire Western zodiac.

Pisces and Virgo are one of the six famous Opposition matches, where two signs oppose each other diametrically across the zodiac wheel. This energy almost always brings clashes of one kind or another, which are likely to reveal themselves as soon as these signs meet. For one thing, Pisces is probably the most variable of all the signs from one moment to the next. Not for nothing is their sign represented by fishes swimming away from each other! Virgo, by contrast, is usually focused on detailed planning, listing, and organization—changing their mind about something takes quite an effort. The dreamer Pisces is loath to waste time on anything that does not inspire their aesthetic ideals. Virgo, on the other hand, is a stickler for discipline and structure, happy to defer gratification and put their nose to the grindstone.

At the heart of these conflicts is that both signs share a Mutable modality. Mutable energy is reflective, always asking what happens next?, so Pisces and Virgo together can find themselves wandering in directions that are both esoteric, yet starkly different. Even after a relationship lasting many years, these two will have to navigate opposing instincts on many subjects.

So, given all this apparently troublesome energy, how could the Pisces/Virgo combination be regarded as one of the most dependable in Western astrology? The answer is simple. Where these two do agree, the inspirational force of their consensus is basically unrivalled. Imagine a pair of mismatched jigsaw pieces realizing suddenly that on the opposite side they fit together perfectly. When the noise of life quietens, these two can discover that they truly believe in each other and their connection. The respective elements here—Water for Pisces and Earth for Virgo—are delightfully compatible. Hence whether they are in heated agreement or disagreement, the shared momentum of this pairing is usually lifting them upward towards success and happiness. The respective weaknesses are also beautifully ameliorated. Pisces becomes less wishy-washy and more focused, Virgo less domineering and more sensitive. Ultimately, this match can be so much more than the sum of its parts, it may prove a once-in-a-lifetime relationship, in any context whatsoever.

Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed

Gene Simmons (8/25/1949, Virgo Ox), Shannon Tweed (3/10/1957, Pisces Rooster) : The musician (founding member of Kiss) and actress/model have been partners since 1982 and have two children. They were together for 28 years before they married in 2011. Shortly before their marriage, Simmons joked about his reputation as a serial womanizer during a television interview, and Tweed swore at him and walked out. She has described, "You can't change someone, but you can see their potential and hope for the best, if you've got the patience." Simmons seems to have turned over a new leaf; in 2018, he was quoted as saying about the relationship, "For 29 years ... I was a jackass."

Cameron Diaz (8/30/1972, Virgo Rat), Benji Madden (3/11/1979, Pisces Sheep) : The actor and musician have been married since 2015. To celebrate their seventh wedding anniversary, Madden published a statement saying, "The only real challenge we have is making time go slower cause life goes by fast in the happy lane."

Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston

Aaron Paul (8/27/1979, Virgo Sheep), Bryan Cranston (3/7/1956, Pisces Monkey) : The two actors co-starred memorably in Breaking Bad, often acclaimed as one of the best TV shows of all time. They have gone on to co-found the business, Dos Hombres mezcal. Paul described in 2022: "I grew so much as an actor because of [Cranston]...I say it every time I'm with him. I love this man so much. I get so incredibly emotional. He is truly a father figure, an older brother figure, that I just love and adore so much, and the fact we get to kind of be in cahoots again...It's a [expletive] dream. It's truly a dream."

Leonard Bernstein (8/25/1918, Virgo Horse), Felicia Montealegre (3/3/1922, Pisces Dog) : The celebrated classical musician/composer and actor were married from 1951 to 1978 and had three children together. Throughout their relationship, Bernstein pursued relationships with men, which Montealegre openly accepted. She wrote him a letter shortly after the marriage, saying: "[Y]ou are a homosexual and may never change—you don’t admit to the possibility of a double life, but if your peace of mind, your health, your whole nervous system depends on a certain sexual pattern what can you do? ...I am willing to accept you as you are, without being a martyr or sacrificing myself on the L.B. altar. (I happen to love you very much—this may be a disease and if it is what better cure?) Let’s try and see what happens if you are free to do as you like, but without guilt and confession, please!"

Sam Kerr and Kristie Mewis

Sam Kerr (9/10/1993, Virgo Rooster), Kristie Mewis (2/25/1991, Pisces Sheep) : The two international professional footballers have reportedly been in a relationship since 2021. Their careers mean their relationship often has to be long distance—Kerr represents Australia and plays for Chelsea in the UK, while Mewis represents the USA and plays for American club, NJ/NY Gotham FC. In a joint 2023 interview, Kerr described: "We set little milestones and we make time during the week where we’ll watch the same show and FaceTime or have dinner together or something. But it's tough. I think the thing that keeps us going is that we can see an end point...She fully gets it and I get it. So we just support each other. The end point is that we'll eventually live in the same place. It's just after our careers are dust." Mewis said, "I feel like we're each other's breath of fresh air. We get it that we don't want to talk about [soccer]. I just feel like it's a comfort zone thing. If I have a bad game or if I lose I always know that I have her. I think that's something that we always say, we always know in the back of our head that if things go bad or things go wrong, we always have each other."

Claudia Schiffer (8/25/1970, Virgo Dog), Matthew Vaughn (3/7/1971, Pisces Pig) : The supermodel and film director have been married since 2002 and have three children. In 2005, Schiffer described, "I'd never found anyone that perfect and I just thought, oh, there's no perfect man out there. Then I met him. He had everything I wanted in a man. He completely swept me off my feet. We are so similar in many ways. We got on like a house on fire from the minute we met. It was really natural."

Gloria and Emilio Estefan

Gloria Estefan (9/1/1957, Virgo Rooster), Emilio Estefan (3/4/1953, Pisces Snake) : The two musicians have been married since 1978 and have two children together. Gloria Estefan described in 2021, "We're very different, Emilio and I, so it's a good balance. But in the things that really matter — values, priorities, morals, even business—we rarely are on separate sides. We're very much in tune on those things."

Tiger and Sheep

Compatibility overview

It is perhaps not as headline-grabbing as other combinations in the Chinese zodiac, but this respectful and nurturing connection has superb potential. The firsteast and secondeast tend to appreciate deeply each other's talents and attitudes, and together they attract considerable good fortune. Given favorable circumstances, this can be an auspicious pairing in any context.

Like the elements in Western astrology, the four Trine Families that underpin the Chinese zodiac divide naturally into compatible pairs. One such pair comprises the family of the Sheep (with the Pig and Rabbit) and the family of the Tiger (with the Dog and Horse). The Sheep and Tiger thus attract some delightfully harmonious surrounding energy.

The Sheep is a profoundly sensitive soul, as deeply caring and creative as they are easily disturbed, so they are often impressed from the outset by the boldness and self-belief of the Tiger. On the other hand, the Tiger's independence and recklessness often make them feel distant from those around them, so they tend to be drawn immediately to the Sheep's warmth and keen intuition. The more these two get to know one another, the more likely it is that common interests and values will emerge.

These signs share a strong commitment to serving others, the Sheep through their instinctive generosity and love of peace, the Tiger through nobility and sacrifice. And both are motivated by identity-defining idealism. The Sheep usually loves nothing more than to share their gift for exploring and expanding the conceptual horizons of their community, while the Tiger is capable of unbridled commitment to honorable innovation and transformation. These big picture affinities can open a door to abundant pleasure, humor, admiration, and attraction. Indeed, few pairings can match the pure enjoyment these two experience when their shared energy is firing on all cylinders.

The Sheep and Tiger do usually tend to maintain a clear sense of their individual identities, so the potential for closeness may be limited in certain ways. Collaborations often involve separate roles rather than working hand-in-glove. The Tiger's attitudes may sometimes seem dangerous or unrelenting to the more careful Sheep, while the Sheep could at times seem fragile, moody, or inconsistent to the Tiger, whose instincts are usually more direct. Thankfully, this flexible match can usually adapt to whatever form is most conducive to the happiness of both signs.

Irrespective of the context or degree of commitment, this frequently enchanting energy has the potential to provide lasting dependability and fulfillment.

Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak

Steve Wozniak (8/11/1950, Leo Tiger), Steve Jobs (2/24/1955, Pisces Sheep) : The entrepreneur and engineer co-founded Apple Computer, Inc. in 1977. Wozniak has described how, in the early days of their relationship, the pair bonded over their love of electronics and hijinks, "[C]hasing concert paraphernalia, driving around playing pranks, doing the blue boxes [a device to make free phone calls]. We had a lot of fun times." Later, according to Wozniak, they grew distant: "[Jobs] didn’t want to talk about jokes, [or] fun kid things, only business suits on the front of magazines, talking business talk and learning how to speak it...That’s when his personality changed, and he got kind of strict."

Jane Galloway (2/27/1950, Pisces Tiger), David Haig (9/20/1955, Virgo Sheep) : The actor and actor/professional cook married in 2010, after being together for 31 years and having five children. Haig described: "Our two sons still maintain this slightly 1960s idea that it is quite cool to have unmarried parents around, but our three daughters are very into the idea [of a wedding] and so are we, frankly."

Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse

Robert Pattinson (5/13/1986, Taurus Tiger), Suki Waterhouse (1/5/1992, Capricorn Sheep) : The two actors have been together since 2018. In a 2023 interview, Waterhouse described: "I’m shocked that I’m so happy with someone for nearly five years. I’m always incredibly excited when I see his name pop up (on my phone) or even a text, and I think he feels the same about me. We’ve always got so much to say, and I find him hilarious."

Michael Turchin (1/14/1987, Capricorn Tiger), Lance Bass (5/4/1979, Taurus Sheep) : The NSYNC musician and actor/artist have been together since 2011. They married in 2014 and have two children. Interviewed in 2014, Bass described: "Out of all my past relationships, I’ve had no one who could really handle my lifestyle. But Michael understands my crazy life and he fits perfectly into it. He’s the support system that I need." Turchin added: "I started out in my art career a couple of years ago and I think half the success I’ve had is due to the support Lance has given me. He’s just such an incredible person. I couldn’t imagine waking up next to anybody else."

Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster

Jodie Foster (11/19/1962, Scorpio Tiger), Mel Gibson (1/3/1956, Capricorn Sheep) : The two actors met on the set of the movie Maverick (1994), and have been close friends ever since. Foster cast Gibson in the lead role of her film, The Beaver (2011), despite him having ongoing reputational issues. Foster explained: "[Gibson's] so incredibly loving and sensitive, he really is. He is the most loved actor I have ever worked with on a movie. And he's not saintly, and he's got a big mouth, and he'll do gross things your nephew would do. But I knew the minute I met him that I would love him the rest of my life. I know him in a very complex way. He's a real person; he's not a cardboard cutout. I know that he has troubles, and when you love somebody you don't just walk away from them when they are struggling."

Demi Moore (11/11/1962, Scorpio Tiger), Bruce Willis (3/19/1955, Pisces Sheep) : The two actors were married from 1987 until 2000 and had three children together. They have maintained a close friendship since their separation, and their respective families reportedly quarantined together in 2020. During Moore's marriage to Ashton Kutcher (2005-2013), Willis described: "It's generated a lot of interest because everyone can understand resentment and envy in the breakup of a marriage, but they don't understand how I can get along with my ex like that. Demi and I made a choice to put the kids first, and we're really lucky that it turns out we all have fun together."

Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft

Mel Brooks (6/28/1926, Cancer Tiger), Anne Bancroft (9/17/1931, Virgo Sheep) : The two actors were married from 1964 until Bancroft's death in 2005, and had one child. Asked in 2021—at the age of 95—about whether they were truly the opposites they appeared to be, given Bancroft was a serious actor and Brooks a comedian, Brooks described: "There was that whole other side of me that was maybe slightly, you know, well-read, intellectual, emotional and wasn't funny and was serious about life. And there was that whole other side of her, where she - I said, you're like a shortstop in the Yankees. You catch every ball. And you got pepper. You've got such pepper in the infield. And you're so - you're like a Jew mountain comic. And nobody knows that, you know? And they never knew the other side of her. They only - but there was that one side of her that was heavenly. It was sweet. And it was comforting. And it was supportive. And it was, I guess, so lovely, it's indescribable. And I was very, very lucky. And I - if I believed in God, I would thank God every night for giving me Anne Bancroft."

Ben Wallace (9/10/1974, Virgo Tiger), Metta Sandiford-Artest (11/13/1979, Scorpio Sheep) : The two professional basketball players achieved notoriety in 2004, after a confrontation between them expanded into a brawl involving the crowd known as the "Malice at the Palace". However, the two are now on good terms. In 2021, Sandiford-Artest posted a photo of Wallace and him smiling together with the caption: "This duo would beat any duo. Ruled the 2000’s on defense. It’s not debatable." Wallace has described: "I always admired the way Ron Artest played the game and the energy he played with on the defensive end. There was no real beef between us, it was just something that happened."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

This is a brilliant pairing for ambitious ventures and mutual advancement. The Western Opposition energy between firstwest and secondwest may cause these two to fight like cats and dogs, but their equally intense agreements mean this relationship has a pathway to limitless growth. On the Eastern side, the favourable energy surrounding the firsteast and secondeast combination, and the likelihood they will share substantial common ground, provide a foundation for long-lasting, committed collaboration. A true power match!
