Compatibility overview

A sometimes untapped treasure of the Western zodiac, the combination of firstwest and secondwest can attract some beautifully relaxed, reliable energy. This is a connection that may seem too uncomplicated for a Hollywood-style romance or hero's quest. Yet at the end of the day, these two usually have each other's backs, come what may. The result can provide each sign with as much pleasure and devotion as any match under the stars.

Being two signs apart around the Western zodiac wheel, Libra and Sagittarius share a Sextile aspect. Right off the bat, this is a calming, mutually reassuring influence, typically as good-humored as it is dependable.

The good news begins with the highly compatible elements. Libra is a quintessential Air sign, typically an indefatigable intellectual with an insatiable appetite for ideas and possibilities. This knits delightfully with Sagittarius' Fire-infused personality, for Sagittarius is a dyed-in-the-wool philosopher, often at their most comfortable dealing with abstract ethical questions, or contemplating the natural world. Indeed, the metaphorical significance of these elements could hardly be more apt, as these signs tend to whip each other into excitement. Libra provides an atmosphere of oxygen-rich enthusiasm and encouragement, while Sagittarius offers burning intensity and dynamism. As friends, colleagues, or lovers, hours will often seem like seconds for a Libra and Sagittarius pairing, as they rise together in crescendoes of eagerness and insight.

The compatibility here is further enhanced by the respective modalities. Libra's Cardinal energy favors beginnings, inceptions, newness in all things. At the other end of the spectrum, Sagittarius is a Mutable sign, far-seeing, with a reflective aptitude for consequences and implications. Collaboration can thus be expected to flow easily, with each sign mostly able to play to their own strengths, while together their efforts coalesce into original and complete creations.

The downside of the Libra/Sagittarius combination really arises from the easygoing character of the relationship. The bond between these two is accessible, relaxed, and peaceful—but it does not necessarily compel or inspire the signs with driving force. Hence these two may find they instinctively prioritize other connections or opportunities rather than each other. Diversions are not likely to breed resentment, but they can mean that windows close which might otherwise have opened onto quite wonderful possibilities.

In the end, whether these two choose a lifelong commitment or just to share the occasional break from the world, chances are their time together will prove delightfully nourishing, secure, and enjoyable.

Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne

Sharon Osbourne (10/9/1952, Libra Dragon), Ozzy Osbourne (12/3/1948, Sagittarius Rat) : The legendary heavy metal musician Ozzy Osbourne (founding member of Black Sabbath) and media personality Sharon Osbourne have been married since 1982. They have three children. Their marriage has been famously turbulent—Ozzy has spoken openly about frequent drug and alcohol use, and was once charged with Sharon's attempted murder after a binge—which contributed to the great success of their reality TV show, The Osbournes (2002-2005). Celebrating their 35-year anniversary in 2017, Sharon wrote: "Thank you Ozzy for 35 crazy & wonderful years. Here's to the next chapter of our lives. Love you more today than yesterday. Always remember: You carry my heart in yours, and it's getting older and needs protecting. Happy Anniversary."

Bradley Whitford (10/10/1959, Libra Pig), Jane Kaczmarek (12/21/1955, Sagittarius Sheep) : The two actors were married for 16 years from 1992. They have three children. They remained amicable after their break-up, with Kaczmarek saying in 2010: "A very wise person said to me, 'Nowadays, you can make a divorce anything you want it to be.' It's absolutely devastating, but then you really have to just drop it and keep going. We were friends for a long time, he's a great father, and we have three terrific kids, so I've made up my mind to make this as good as possible for everybody. We really are like a family living in two different houses."

Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens

Zac Efron (10/18/1987, Libra Rabbit), Vanessa Hudgens (12/14/1988, Sagittarius Dragon) : The two actors both achieved widespread fame following their work together in the successful High School Musical film trilogy (2006-2008). They reportedly dated from 2005 to 2010. Though they have each confirmed they do not stay in regular contact, they have continued to reflect fondly about their relationship. In 2019, Hudgens said, "I could not have been more grateful to have that relationship at the time … It was this massive phenomenon and [all] eyes were on me. And it's just a really weird foreign thing to go through, and by being in a relationship, it kind of kept me stabilized and grounded, and I had someone to lean on who was going through it as well."

Chuck Berry (10/18/1926, Libra Tiger), Keith Richards (12/18/1943, Sagittarius Sheep) : The two musicians shared a complex bond. Richards long admired Berry, at one point saying, "[Berry] was the air I breathed for many years when I was learning guitar." Although Berry once famously punched Richards in the face for touching his guitar backstage, they later collaborated on Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll (1987), a documentary film about two concerts staged to celebrate Berry's 60th birthday. Richards described: "[Berry] was a little prickly, but at the same time, there was a very warm guy underneath that he wasn’t that willing to display. There were other times between us when we’re sitting around and rehearsing, and going, 'Man, you know, between us we got that s— down' – and there would be a beautiful, different feeling."

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness

Hugh Jackman (10/12/1968, Libra Monkey), Deborra-Lee Furness (11/30/1955, Sagittarius Sheep) : The two actors were married from 1996 until 2023, and have two children. Jackman, who is 13 years younger than Furness, posted for their 25th wedding anniversary: "Being married to you, Deb, is as natural as breathing. From nearly the moment we met... I knew our destiny was to be together. In our 25 years, our love has only grown deeper—the fun, excitement, and adventure more exhilarating; the learning even greater. I’m forever grateful to share our love, our life—and, our family together. We’ve only just begun. Deb, I love you with all my heart!"

Bruce Springsteen and Steven Van Zandt

Bruce Springsteen (9/23/1949, Libra Ox), Steven Van Zandt (11/22/1950, Sagittarius Tiger) : The two musicians have been friends since the 1960s, and have collaborated for decades, after Van Zandt joined Springsteen's E Street Band in 1975. Van Zandt shares production credits for Springsteen's classic albums, The River (1980) and Born in the U.S.A (1984). Van Zandt described in 2020: "Our friendship is deeper than any [business or creative issues], and it’s forever. I decided that very early on. Remember, [Springsteen] was a very different person the first 10 years I knew him. He wasn’t the world’s greatest entertainer. He was like one of those grunge guys with long hair that just stares at his shoes. But I got extraordinary strength from finding one other person on the planet that felt the same way I did about rock & roll. You only need one so you don’t think you’re insane and you don’t think you’re a loser by not fitting into society. And I didn’t fit in and he didn’t fit in, and so we kind of had each other there in the beginning."

The essential concept underlying the entire Chinese zodiac is that of the four Trine Families. The Monkey and Dragon, along with their comrade-in-arms the Rat, form one of these special families, making this one of the most auspicious combinations there is.

Here the unifying energy is all about creativity, eagerness, and expressiveness. The Monkey's fabled ingenuity meets a natural kindred spirit in the glorious showmanship of the Dragon. This match is conducive to all kinds of inventiveness and performance, from the inception of brilliant ideas to dazzling actualizations. Just as important as outward achievements, though, is the calming reassurance this pairing can provide for one another. In their own ways, each of these signs is something of a high-wire act—relentlessly capable and captivating, but with potentially greater intensity than calmer or more down-to-earth temperaments are ready for. This relationship can therefore provide a haven, a liberation from the boredom, isolation, or fretfulness that may destabilize these two signs in other contexts.

For many Dragon/Monkey pairings, the only real danger is that the connection between them might feel too easy to be worthy of their prodigious talents. Hopefully the successes they share together provide sufficient reassurance that they have found a rare partnership, worthy of cherishing and protecting, offering a lifetime of delight and security.

Niemi has said that, "The first time Buddy [Swayze] and I danced together was at a school exhibition...I looked in his eyes, it was like everything came alive."

Courteney Cox (6/15/1964, Gemini Dragon), Jennifer Aniston (2/11/1969, Aquarius Monkey) : The Friends co-stars developed a close real-life friendship. Aniston, who is godmother to Cox's daughter, has described: "There's absolutely no judgement in Court. You'll never feel scolded. She's extremely fair, ridiculously loyal and fiercely loving. I've slept in her guest bedroom a lot. Without giving away too much of my private stuff, all I can say is she's been there for me through thick and thin."

Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone

Emma Stone (11/6/1988, Scorpio Dragon), Ryan Gosling (11/12/1980, Scorpio Monkey) : The two actors share a close friendship, which has produced memorable on-screen chemistry in the films, Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011), Gangsta Squad (2013), and La La Land (2016). Stone has described: "I can't even imagine what my life would be without Ryan. He's so special. It makes me emotional. He's so talented but he's such a great person to work with because he's so collaborative and excited about the process. He's taught me a lot about being really generous." Gosling has said similarly, "It's impossible to describe. [Stone's] everything, all the time. There's nobody like her...Show me someone that wouldn't give it all up for Emma Stone, and I'll show you a liar."

Joseph Campbell (3/26/1904, Aries Dragon), George Lucas (5/14/1944, Taurus Monkey) : The Star Wars director memorably described the mythologist and author of The Hero With a Thousand Faces as "my Yoda", because of Campbell's influence on the story's characterization and structure. The two developed a strong friendship, with Lucas instrumental in developing Campbell's TV series The Power of Myth.

Kirk Douglas and Michael Douglas

Kirk Douglas (12/9/1916, Sagittarius Dragon), Michael Douglas (9/25/1944, Libra Monkey) : The two actors share one of the most famous father/son relationships in Hollywood history. They appeared together in the film, It Runs in the Family (2003). They faced challenges in their relationship, as when Michael Douglas, as producer, decided against casting his father in the lead role in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975). However, Michael's career was strongly influenced by his father.Kirk once said, "I kept telling [Michael] he should play a villain. So finally he did, in Wall Street, and when he did that wonderful, horrible greed speech, I just [beamed]!" When Kirk died at age 103, Michael said: "To the world, he was a legend, an actor from the golden age of movies who lived well into his golden years, a humanitarian whose commitment to justice and the causes he believed in set a standard for all of us to aspire to. But to me and my brothers Joel and Peter he was simply Dad."

Tracy Chapman (3/30/1964, Aries Dragon), Alice Walker (2/9/1944, Aquarius Monkey) : The author and musician had a two-year affair in the 1990s. Asked why they had kept the relationship quiet, Walker said in 2006: "It was quiet to you maybe but that's because you didn't live in our area [laughing]...My life is not to be somebody else's impact - you know what I mean? And it was delicious and lovely and wonderful and I totally enjoyed it and I was completely in love with her but it was not anybody's business but ours."

Dan Aykroyd (7/1/1952, Cancer Dragon), Carrie Fisher (10/21/1956, Libra Monkey) : The two actors had a love affair and lived together in 1980. After Fisher's death in 2016, Aykroyd wrote: "I gave Carrie a sapphire ring and subsequently in the romance she gave me a Donald Roller Wilson oil painting of a monkey in a blue dress next to a tiny floating pencil, which I kept for years until it began to frighten my children...[She] would say things like:...'You have a jawline, hold your chin up otherwise you look like a tuna.' From then on I would identify myself on the phone as Tuna Neck."

Final Words

The Sextile connection between firstwest and secondwest is one of the true gifts in Western astrology—a dependable, highly enjoyable match whose only real weakness is that its hassle-free camaraderie might seem to be missing some excitement or importance. Here, though, the magic between the firsteast and secondeast is harder to overlook, for these are born allies, who naturally provide each other with security, inspiration, and affection. In all, this is a simply brilliant foundation for any relationship.
