The interval between signs that are two steps apart in the Western zodiac, like Aquarius and Sagittarius, is called a Sextile. This complementary energy emphasizes relaxation, collaboration, and dependability.

Aquarius and Sagittarius, of course, are both great thinkers—Aquarius a universalist intellectual, Sagittarius a naturalist philosopher. There is a good chance that any discussion will quickly emerge as a free-flowing exchange of ideas, with each sign offering insights the other finds invaluable and enriching. Aquarius' Air element gives them an accepting and enthusiastic character, meaning Fire sign Sagittarius has the oxygen they need to surge forward, unrestricted and liberated. Meanwhile, Sagittarius' Fire naturally rouses Aquarius, giving them purpose, optimism, and excitement.

All forms of collaboration are strongly favored by this match. Aquarius has a Fixed modality, emphasizing productivity and real-world results, which forms a natural segue into Sagittarius' more reflective Mutable modality, with its instinctive concern for consequences and effects. Projects involving these two thus tend not only to exhibit intellectual or philosophical grandeur, but they are also likely to be realized successfully, and to maximize their farseeing potential.

If there is a downside to this match, it is that the breezy, relaxed energy between this pair can sometimes prove unreliable. In truth, this is less a reflection of the Aquarius/Sagittarius connection itself, and more the result of other combinations seeming more fervent or demanding. Sometimes friendship and camaraderie may seem more natural here than Romeo and Juliet-style devotion. More generally, it can be easy for these two to take their natural harmony for granted, and to prioritize more apparently urgent relationships. Whatever the context, however, it may prove advantageous in the long run to give this combination plenty of attention.

Ultimately, Aquarius and Sagittarius share an any-kind-of-weather dependability, and the great affinities between these signs can foster a lasting, warm, and deeply nourishing relationship.

Jamie Lee Curtis (11/22/1958, Sagittarius Dog), Christopher Guest (2/5/1948, Aquarius Pig) : The actor and director have been married for over 36 years and have two children together. Asked about the secret to their relationship, Curtis described: "Don't leave. There's a recovery phrase that says, 'Stay on the bus…the scenery will change.' You think you're having a bad week, but stay on the bus, because one of these days you'll look out the window and it'll be beautiful. I think it can apply to almost anything where you feel unhappy in that moment. I'm not a wild romantic. I'm a realist. I respect him. And I just don't leave."

Sarah Silverman (12/1/1970, Sagittarius Dog), Michael Sheen (2/5/1969, Aquarius Monkey) : The comedian and actor dated for four years before separating in 2017. Sheen described about their break-up: "After the Brexit vote, and the election where Trump became president, we both felt in different ways we wanted to get more involved...We both had very similar drives, and yet to act on those drives pulled us in different directions — because she is American and I’m Welsh. I felt a responsibility to do something, but it did mean coming back here [to the UK], which was difficult for us because we were very important to each other. But we both acknowledge that each of us had to do what we needed to do."

Frank Sinatra and Mia Farrow

Frank Sinatra (12/12/1915, Sagittarius Rabbit), Mia Farrow (2/9/1945, Aquarius Monkey) : The legendary singer and actor were married between 1966 and 1968, and remained friends until Sinatra's death. Farrow has described Sinatra as "the great love of [her] life", and that she continued seeing him during her 13-year marriage to the director/actor Woody Allen: "[Sinatra] came back, over and over and over and over. I mean, we never really split up."

John Williams (2/8/1932, Aquarius Monkey), Steven Spielberg (12/18/1946, Sagittarius Dog) : The director and composer share perhaps the most famous artistic collaboration of modern history, spanning 50 years and 29 films to date. On first seeing Schindler's List, Williams remarked, "Steven, you need a better composer than I to score this film." To which Spielberg replied, "I know, but they’re all dead." In early 2023, Spielberg said: "In the art form that we’ve both chosen, [Williams] has been the most steadfast brother and collaborator that I’ve ever had in my life. And that’s how I would sum up how much I love [him]."

Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek

Jim Morrison (12/8/1943, Sagittarius Sheep), Ray Manzarek (2/12/1939, Aquarius Tiger) : The two musicians were college friends who founded The Doors. Speaking of the development of their music while still a duo at UCLA film school, Manzarek wrote in Light My Fire: My Life with The Doors: "Jim was coming up with more variations and permutations on his lyrics that required more and more invention on the keys from me. I loved it. He was exploding with ideas, and I was constantly pushing myself to try different and more imaginative chord changes…to support and embellish his poetry. We were definitely progressing. The Doors were on their way to creating an important body of work."

Tina Turner (11/26/1939, Sagittarius Rabbit), Erwin Bach (1/24/1956, Aquarius Sheep) : The legendary singer and music producer have been together since 1985 and married since 2013. After a famously toxic marriage to fellow musician Ike Turner, Tina Turner described meeting Bach as follows: "I could have ignored what I felt—I could have listened to the ghost voices in my head telling me that I didn’t look good that day, or that I shouldn't be thinking about romance because it never ends well. Instead, I listened to my heart. I left my comfort zone and made it a priority to get to know Erwin."

The Horse and Tiger pairing is a truly wonderful energy match, attracting both inspirational and profoundly stabilising energy in the Chinese zodiac.

The central concept underlying Chinese astrology is the four Trine Families. One of these families includes the Horse and Tiger (with their kindred spirit, the Dog). This family is bound together by spirited, righteous energy. They are driven to succeed, and willing to make all kinds of sacrifices to achieve their goals, yet they also aspire to noble values of egalitarianism and service to others. Early contacts between the Horse and Tiger thus often represent a true meeting of minds. Horse natives are rarely shy about putting their prodigious talents on show—their pioneering brand of razzle-dazzle will likely captivate the Tiger from first sight. Even quieter Tiger souls have a commanding presence, and their noble pronouncements tend to immediately impress and attract the freewheeling Horse.

As these two get to know each other better, the real magic can potentially take hold. The Horse and Tiger are each defined by an essential inner contradiction. They are dyed-in-the-wool independents, reluctant to defer to anyone else's vision or authority, yet they also feel forever incomplete without a trusted partner or inner circle. The great compatibility between the Horse and Tiger means that somehow their respective needs for autonomy bring them together instead of wedging them apart. These two can comfortably spend time at a distance, or intensely challenge or confront one another, and the connection between them will only grow stronger as a result. Indeed, as is typical for Trine Family matches like this one, it is the evergreen nature of this combination that sometimes represents its greatest risk. For this kind of precious connection can sometimes seem too natural, too effortless, to be worthy of total commitment.

If the Horse and Tiger trust and invest in the power of their shared energy, then whatever the context, their relationship can be a once-in-a-lifetime source of belonging, adventure, and potency.

Salma Hayek and François-Henri Pinault

François-Henri Pinault (5/28/1962, Gemini Tiger), Salma Hayek (9/2/1966, Virgo Horse) : The actor and business entrepreneur had a daughter together in 2007 and have been married since 2009. In 2021, Hayek was quoted as saying, "When there is conflict, we put all the energy in solving the problem - never finding who to blame or 'You should have done this or that.' No, all our energy goes into: 'How do we solve this?'"

Pauletta Washington (9/28/1950, Libra Tiger), Denzel Washington (12/28/1954, Capricorn Horse) : Married since 1983, the Washingtons have four children together. Denzel Washington has described: "The difference between a house and a home, it’s a big difference. You can buy a house, but that doesn’t make it a home—and not to say a man can’t make a home a home, but my wife has made our house a home, and raised these beautiful kids, and protected them and sacrificed for them. She did the heavy lifting."

Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner

Christine Baumgartner (3/4/1974, Pisces Tiger), Kevin Costner (1/18/1955, Capricorn Horse) : The actor and model/designer were together from around 2000 until Baumgartner surprised many by filing for divorce in 2023. They married in 2004 and have three children. Costner said in 2018, "Fear kept me from marrying Christine. I woke up and thought, Am I going to lose a beautiful woman who is willing to be with me to my very last breath because I am afraid to say yes to a child? That’s all it took. Sometimes you learn the thing you’re most afraid of will save your life."

Rande Gerber (4/27/1962, Taurus Tiger), Cindy Crawford (2/20/1966, Pisces Horse) : The supermodel and business entrepreneur have been married since 1998 and have two children together. Gerber has said about the relationship, "We started as friends and we remained friends. You have to just keep that friendship and fun in the relationship."

Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson

Robert Pattinson (5/13/1986, Taurus Tiger), Kristen Stewart (4/9/1990, Aries Horse) : The two actors became household names as stars of the Twilight film series. They dated between around 2009 to 2013, and for a time were one of the most famous celebrity couples in the world. Stewart continues to speak positively about Pattinson and their relationship. She has described: "When me and Rob were together, we did not have an example to go by. So much was taken from us that, in trying to control one aspect, we were just like, 'No, we will never talk about it. Never. Because it’s ours.'"

Jackie Sandler(9/24/1974, Libra Tiger), Adam Sandler (9/9/1966, Virgo Horse) : The two actors have been married since 2003 and have two daughters together. About his critically-acclaimed performance in the film Uncut Gems (2019), Adam Sandler said: "My badass wife, she gave me the balls to take the part. I was scared and she said, 'Go [expletive] do that and you can do that [expletive]' and we rehearsed together all the time."

Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder

Stevie Wonder (5/13/1950, Taurus Tiger), Aretha Franklin (3/25/1942, Aries Horse) : The two celebrated musicians shared a longtime close friendship. After Franklin died in 2018, Wonder described visiting during her final days: "[Franklin] wasn't able to speak back, but her family felt that she could hear me, and so I just said all the things that I've always said and told her to say hello to my sister [Renee Hardaway] that I lost this year as well...She was just consistently a great human being, and she always — even with whatever turmoil may have been happening in her life, even through her illness — she did not put that on anybody else. She believed, I think that most of all she was doing God's work, and she was. She brought joy to others' lives, and she will — her voice and the essence of her will long [out]live all of us that are here right now."

Kirstie Alley (1/12/1951, Capricorn Tiger), John Travolta (2/18/1954, Aquarius Horse) : The two actors starred memorably in the Look Who's Talking films and formed a close friendship. Alley described later: "I almost ran off and married John. I did love him, I still love him. If I hadn’t been married I would’ve gone and married him and I would’ve been in an airplane because he has his own plane…He's a very generous person. He's very interested. If you ever talk to John, and this is genuine with him, you will become the most interesting thing that he's ever met in his life."

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.
