Compatibility
Sagittarius Dog and Pisces Dragon

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.

Sagittarius and Pisces

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."

Dog and Dragon

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 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.
