Although Western and Chinese astrology are fundamentally different, a key synergy between them is the pre-eminence of Trine combinations—signs that are four steps apart. In the Western zodiac, one such celebrated Trine match is the pairing of Leo and Sagittarius.
These signs share the element of Fire, the most intense, dynamic, and passionate of the elements. Leo's honor, ambition, and relentless pursuit of justice will appeal from the outset to Sagittarius' far-seeing, philosophical outlook. Sagittarius' commitment to idealism and harmony with the natural world will similarly inspire and resonate with Leo, who prides themselves on their integrity and love of beauty. In other company, these signs can both be somewhat overwhelming, such is the force of their personalities and the unapologetic strength of their convictions. How gloriously inspiring it can be, then, for them to discover in each other a like-minded compulsion to strive for the highest standards of endeavour, above all else.
Mutual enthusiasm, exhilaration, and admiration are all indicated early in this relationship. Over time, Leo and Sagittarius may find that their potential for collaboration and emotional support expand exponentially. Leo's Fixed modality, with its emphasis on productivity and achievement, forms a perfect transition into the reflective, Mutable energy of Sagittarius. Relations between these two thus conform to a natural cycle of realization to contemplation. Shared projects are likely to be completed fully and successfully, and then to serve as a platform for further stirring opportunities. Potential problems for these signs—vanity or disdainfulness for Leo, belligerence or overcommitment for Sagittarius—can usually be corrected by the generosity and encouragement of their shared connection.
There is no such thing as perfection in human relationships, of course, and challenging energy on the Chinese side could always throw a spanner into the works. However, irrespective of context, this is a justifiably prized connection, as promising as any in the Western zodiac.

Jennifer Lawrence (8/15/1990, Leo Horse), Nicholas Hoult (12/7/1989, Sagittarius Snake) : The two actors became a high-profile couple after they started dating while co-starring in X-Men: First Class in 2010. They broke up around 2014. Lawrence was quoted in 2012: "[My boyfriend] is honestly my best friend, and hopefully I’m his best friend too. He’s my favorite person to be around and makes me laugh harder than anybody … We can eat Cheetos and watch beach volleyball and we turn into two perverted Homer Simpsons, like, 'Oh, she’s got a nice ass.' I never thought we’d have such different opinions on asses."
Iola Brubeck (8/14/1923, Leo Pig), Dave Brubeck (12/6/1920, Sagittarius Monkey) : The jazz pioneer and lyricist were married from 1942 until Dave Brubeck's death in 2012. They had six children. They collaborated multiple times, notably on the musical, The Real Ambassadors. Iola Brubeck has also been credited with developing a strategy to publicize and perform Dave's music to young college audiences during the 1950s, which proved transformatively successful. Iola once described the time before Dave achieved widespread recognition: "We learned to improvise in living; whatever place we could find to stay we stayed. We couldn’t afford the best so we learned how to use camping equipment inside a city hotel. We had sleeping bags and air mattresses...[F]ortunately, I think my background and Dave’s ranch background gave us sort of that, I don’t know, pioneer fortitude, I guess to [say,] okay, these are the circumstances, accept it and make the most of it. Make it work, it will work."
Michelle Yeoh (8/6/1962, Leo Tiger), Jamie Lee Curtis (11/22/1958, Sagittarius Dog) : The two actors starred together memorably in Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022). Curtis' celebratory reaction made headlines around the world after Yeoh won a Golden Globe for her performance. When Curtis herself won a Screen Actors Guild Award for her role in the film, their relationship was again in the news after a celebratory kiss. Curtis said: "I kissed [Yeoh]?, Did I really kiss her? I love Michelle Yeoh. We love each other. We fell in love with each other. She's married. I met her husband in England, he's lovely. I also have a husband."
Bridgid Coulter (8/2/1968, Leo Monkey), Don Cheadle (11/29/1964, Sagittarius Dragon) : The two actors had been together for 28 years before marrying in 2020. They have two daughters. Somewhat tongue-in-cheek, Cheadle described in 2021: "[Marriage] came up a lot of time[s]. But every time, we were like, 'But we're already together?' [The accountant said], 'Yeah, but this is a better reason to be together.' Really, it's because our accountant proposed to us, I wish there were some big sweet romantic story, but the romance happened, you know, the first year."
James Cameron (8/16/1954, Leo Horse), Kathryn Bigelow (11/27/1951, Sagittarius Rabbit) : The two film directors were married from 1989-1991. At the 2010 Oscars, they were famously in competition for the Best Director award—Bigelow for The Hurt Locker (2008), and Cameron for Avatar (2009). It was reportedly Cameron who recommended Bigelow direct The Hurt Locker. A decade later, Cameron said about Bigelow's win: "[F]or me to begrudge not only someone that I’ve loved and believed in winning the best director, but also the first woman... f—, man. Stand back. Let her have her night. We talked about it endlessly before and after. They wanted us to be co-presenters, but we looked at one another and said, 'We’re not going to play that game.' If I was sitting here now, however many years later, looking at an Oscar that could have been hers, I would be feeling like s—. I was very happy at how it worked out."
Christine Taylor (7/30/1971, Leo Pig), Ben Stiller (11/30/1965, Sagittarius Snake) : The two actors married in 2000 and have two children together. After separating in 2017, they reconciled during lockdown in 2020. Stiller described about their reconciliation: "I think we have a respect for the ways that we're similar and the ways we're different. And I think accepting that, you can really appreciate someone more because you're not trying to get them to change for you."
Sam Champion (8/13/1961, Leo Ox), Rubem Robierb (12/1/1976, Sagittarius Dragon) : The weather anchor and artist had been together for several years before they married in 2012. Robierb has described: "Sam and I connected on every level early on. We have always connected on important social issues. As we have grown more as a couple, we enjoy tackling them together and being around like minds."
Whitney Houston (8/9/1963, Leo Rabbit), Robyn Crawford (12/17/1960, Sagittarius Rat) : The two friends were inseparable for much of the legendary singer Houston's life. Crawford described in her memoir, A Song for You: "We never talked labels, like lesbian and gay. We just lived our lives, and I hoped it could go on that way for ever."

The Chinese zodiac comprises fundamentally four Trine Families. One of these families includes the Dog and Horse (along with their compadre the Tiger). These signs are bound together by a spirit of humanitarian ambition—an aspiration to achieve greatness, while remaining faithful to ideals of justice, equality, and fairness.
Chances are these two will recognize each other as kindred souls before they have said very much at all. The Horse tends to admire instinctively the plainspokenness that lies at the heart of the Dog's character, and will usually sympathize wholeheartedly with the underdog causes that the Dog lives to defend. The Dog, on the other hand, finds the Horse's brand of upright independence at once inspiring and calming. In other company, these two can find their directness comes across as brusque or tactless. What a merciful relief it can be for each of them, to find an ally who is just as impatient with seemingly pointless niceties and posturing!
There is a strong entrepreneurial aspect to this energy, and Dog and Horse combinations can be found in professional contexts from business to sports to the arts. Among the many synergies between these signs, however, perhaps the single most important is their commitment to close relationships, the sharing of alliances through thick and thin. Even as distant acquaintances, the Horse and Dog will likely respect each other's commitment to faithfulness and devotion.
If the Dog and Horse develop into intimates with one another, don't be surprised if the bond between them proves unbreakable.

Jon Favreau (10/19/1966, Libra Horse), Vince Vaughn (3/28/1970, Aries Dog) : The actor/film-maker are close friends who have shared many notable collaborations, including Swingers (1996), Made (2001), Couples Retreat (2009), and The Break-Up (2006). Swingers, which proved the catalyst for both actors' successes, was written by Favreau as an exaggerated version of the pair's life as best friends and struggling actors. In an interview with one another about The Break-Up, Favreau described: "You dug my sense of humor, and I knew you'd be open to things, you'd be open to them, and I knew that if we were going to improvise together that, you know, it's like two musicians who have played a lot together, our rhythms sort of compliment each other, and so, I didn't have any of the responsibilities to worry about like in Swingers or Made where I was trying to keep a lot of stuff in my head I was able to just come in, and have a lot of fun."
George W. Bush (7/6/1946, Cancer Dog), Condoleezza Rice (11/14/1954, Scorpio Horse) : The former US President appointed diplomat/political scientist Rice as National Security Advisor (2001-2005) and Secretary of State (2005-2009). After the 2020 election, Bush disclosed that he had written in Rice's name on his ballot paper.
Nelson Mandela (7/18/1918, Cancer Horse), Bill Clinton (8/19/1946, Leo Dog) : The anti-apartheid activist and politician developed a close friendship during their respective presidencies of South Africa and the US. Professor Haroon Bhorat of the University of Cape Town has described: "There’s a very, very rich history and bridge that exists between South Africa and the US. If you wanted the jewel in the crown, so to speak, that would be the Mandela-Clinton relationship."
Laura Silverman (6/10/1966, Gemini Horse), Sarah Silverman (12/1/1970, Sagittarius Dog) : The two sisters are actors who have collaborated extensively. On The Sarah Silverman Program (2007-2010), real-life older sister Laura played Sarah's younger sibling. Laura described in 2007, "[Working together is] totally fun, we get along really well in general and love to make each other laugh so it's perfect, and we're kind of a huggy family so it's nice to have each other there for support, too. We're also so different in our acting styles, and big fans of each other's work, so there's no competition or anything."
Margot Robbie (7/2/1990, Cancer Horse), Saoirse Ronan (4/12/1994, Aries Dog) : The two actors became friends when the co-starred in the film, Mary Queen of Scots (2018). In a joint interview, Ronan was asked how she reacted when the two were cast together: "I was so excited, because — and I’ve told you this before, anyway — Margot and I met about a year and a half before we did the film together, and I always thought you were brilliant and fearless as an actor. Every single role you take on is completely different, and you can tell you just go for it — like we were saying, you’re like, 'Well, I’m in it now, so I’m just going to go for it.' But being able to share this with someone who is not only really, really nice, but is really, really normal like you are is really amazing. So well done."
Eboni Nichols (5/12/1978, Taurus Horse), Queen Latifah (3/18/1970, Pisces Dog) : While actor/musician Latifah is famously shy about her private life, it is widely believed that she is in a relationship with Nichols and that the two adopted a son, Rebel, together in 2019. At the BET Awards in 2021, she closed her acceptance speech: "Eboni, my love. Rebel, my love. Happy Pride!"
