Western Zodiac

Sagittarius and Capricorn

Compatibility overview

Adjacent signs the Western zodiac, like firstwest and secondwest, have quite a poor reputation in classical astrology. Orthodox approaches say that, like many real-life neighbors, they are wary of each other and prefer to remain at a distance. However, while it can take some time for these two to warm to each other, in fact this connection has great promise, especially for creative enterprises and emotional support.

Signs that are next to each other around the Western zodiac wheel, like Capricorn and Sagittarius, share a Semi-sextile aspect. This is one of only two minor aspects (with the Quincunx), so from the beginning the energy is gentler than other influences, and somewhat lacking in clarity.

These two signs often do not gravitate strongly when they first meet. Capricorn, with their aptitude for understanding and wielding power, tends to be focused on society and social relations. The philosophical Sagittarius, on the other hand, usually occupies a more abstract, less human-focused perspective. Capricorn's element is Earth, a grounding influence that gives them patience, self-discipline, and forthrightness. This can be difficult to reconcile with Sagittarius' Fire, a more variable energy that means Sagittarians vacillate between extremes of intensity and indifference. Early contacts between these two are thus often like ships passing in the night. If they register with each other at all, they may respectfully but noncommittally move on. Given time, however, the initial standoffishness between Capricorn and Sagittarius can prove short-lived.

Capricorn is a Cardinal modality sign, a pure energy that means they are always at the beginning of their projects. This matches superbly with Sagittarius' Mutable modality, for they are always at the end, always wondering what next?. Over time, Capricorn may open their mind to Sagittarius' forceful energy and philosophical depth, and see Sagittarius as a key ally in achieving their own ambitions. Sagittarius may realize how Capricorn's social skills can help them focus on and share their philosophical quests about humankind and the natural world.

Revealing these hidden potentialities may open a door to touching intimacy, respect, and emotional dependability. Creative outputs may be especially exciting, given the contrasting personalities combined with their collaborative potential. Preserving key elements of independence will likely prove important, given the essential differences here.

There is every chance that, if the door to this relationship can be opened, it will develop from strength to strength into a lasting and profoundly rewarding connection.

Judi Dench (12/9/1934, Sagittarius Dog), Maggie Smith (12/28/1934, Capricorn Dog) : The two Dames and Oscar-winning British actors have been friends since they appeared on stage together in 1958. In 2002, Smith described: "Judi’s the most tremendous friend.

In Tea With Mussolini, again we just laughed, we played Scrabble, we drank prosecco and behaved very badly again.

Sarah Paulson (12/17/1974, Sagittarius Tiger), Holland Taylor (1/14/1943, Capricorn Horse) : The two actors met at a party in 2005 and began dating ten years later in 2015. Paulson has said about the origins of the relationship: "It's a long story. We met a very, very long time ago. I was with someone else; she was, too. We sort of breezed by one another, and then started following each other on Twitter…" More recently, Paulson described in relation to the couple's 30-year age difference: "[T]here is a lot of hate in this world, and a lot of good can come from quote-unquote normalizing something for people who don't see it as normal. Our relationship represents a certain amount of hope and risk. Maybe there's something brave in it. Maybe it encourages others to make brave choices. What else can I say? We love each other."

Arthur C. Clarke (12/16/1917, Sagittarius Snake), Isaac Asimov (1/2/1920, Capricorn Sheep) : The two great writers shared a famously amicable yet playfully competitive relationship.

Horse and Horse

Compatibility overview

This is a high-intensity match, by turns exhilarating, inspiring, competitive, furious, and admiring. Two Horse signs will have plenty in common when it comes to ambition, commitment, and honor. But the Horse's freewheeling style demands plenty of independence and attention all to itself. Effective strategies for calmness and sharing are a must, if this match is to realize its potential for a rewarding bond.

Chinese astrology relies at heart on the concept of the four Trine Families. The family of the Horse (with the Dog and Tiger) is associated with humanitarian ambition—a powerful drive to achieve success, but without compromising a sense of integrity or generosity of spirit.

Two Horses will likely recognize in each other a kindred resolution to achieve great things, especially in ways that attract attention. Mutual admiration, probably tinged with envy, is highly likely. The Horse loves to take center-stage, and is a natural in fields like performing arts, sports, or politics. Mentoring, inspiring, collaborating—any kind of shared endeavor that means these two can spur each other to greater accomplishments will exert a powerful attraction for them both. Verbal and physical encounters can be expected to go a mile a minute, as if the two Horse natives are in a race to impact each other and those around them. To be sure, this much aspirational energy can sometimes be hard to handle.

All own-sign matches struggle with a lack of balance. For two Horses, it can be especially difficult at times to truly work together or take turns. When two signs are so closely allied in their hearts' desires, and so instinctively energized and independent, they need to watch that their magnetism does not turn to repulsion. Fortunately, the respect here usually runs very deep. Strategies that promote calmness and sharing may be necessary, but they can also come quite naturally. The Horse is capable of attractively self-deprecating humor, and often finds time alone nourishing rather than lonely. Such techniques may be invaluable for this match.

With care and restraint, the best qualities of this combination can produce a dependable and warm relationship, which pushes both parties ahead on their respective quests for success.

Andrew Rannells and Tuc Watkins (click for attribution/s)

Andrew Rannells (8/23/1978, Virgo Horse), Tuc Watkins (9/2/1966, Virgo Horse) : The two actors have been together since they acted together in the Broadway production of The Boys in the Band in 2019. About announcing their relationship on Instagram, Watkins described: "I just couldn’t not talk about it anymore. It was just out of excitement. It was just joy. You’re always a little trepidatious to put things that are intimate about your life out there for the world to see, but I just couldn't help it anymore just because I liked him so darn much."

Margot Robbie (7/2/1990, Cancer Horse), Tom Ackerley (6/13/1990, Gemini Horse) : The actor and film producer have been together since 2014 and married in 2016. Robbie has described: "We were friends for so long. I was always in love with him, but I thought, 'Oh, he would never love me back. Don't make it weird, Margot. Don't be stupid and tell him that you like him. And then it happened, and I was like, 'Of course we're together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.'"

Harrison Ford and Sean Connery (click for attribution/s)

Harrison Ford (7/13/1942, Cancer Horse), Sean Connery (8/25/1930, Virgo Horse) : The two actors memorably played father and son in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, despite an age difference of only 12 years. Ford joked, "I am so much younger-looking than I really am, and he’s so much older-looking than he is. But if you ask him, he’ll say he acted it." Although the younger actor had nothing but praise for Connery's contribution: "It was amazing for me in how far [Connery] got into the script and went after exploiting opportunities for character. His suggestions to George [Lucas] at the writing stage really gave the character and the picture a lot more complexity and value than it had in the original screenplay."

James Franco (4/19/1978, Aries Horse), Tyrese Gibson (12/30/1978, Capricorn Horse) : The two actors starred together in the 2006 film, Annapolis. Gibson has expressed frustration about the experience, saying: "James Franco is a Method actor. I respect Method actors, but he never snapped out of character. Whenever we'd have to get in the ring for boxing scenes, and even during practice, the dude was full-on hitting me. I was always like, 'James, lighten up, man. We're just practicing.' He never lightened up."

Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles (click for attribution/s)

Aretha Franklin (3/25/1942, Aries Horse), Ray Charles (9/23/1930, Libra Horse) : The two legendary soul musicians met for the first time in 1971, during a three-night run of shows by Franklin at the Fillmore East theater in New York. The performances have been hailed by Rolling Stone at number 12 on their list of the greatest concerts in the last 50 years. The magazine described: "On the last night, Franklin pulled Ray Charles out of the crowd. Though they’d just met that day, the two traded piano and vocal parts on an epic 19-minute version of 'Spirit in the Dark.' 'She turned the thing into church,” Charles said later. 'I mean, she’s on fire.'"

Helmut Kohl (4/3/1930, Aries Horse), Angela Merkel (7/17/1954, Cancer Horse) : The two German Chancellors once shared a close mentorship, with Kohl famously referring to Merkel as his "Mädchen" or "girl". However, they never reconciled after a rift led to Merkel taking over leadership of their Christian Democrats party. Kohl later described Merkel as the "traitor general" and accused her of "destroying my Europe".
