Western Zodiac
Sagittarius and Libra
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.

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 (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 (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 (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."

Chinese astrology tends towards polarized judgements about very strong or very challenging matches, but the combination of Horse and Monkey is located more in the middle ground. Certainly there are plenty of positive synergies to help these two forge a meaningful connection.
The lively Monkey loves to be entertained, while the freewheeling Horse is a born entertainer. Similarly, the Horse tends to deeply admire skills and achievements they consider worthy of their time, things the Monkey's brilliant cleverness can provide in spades. Hence these two can fall naturally and happily into an audience/performer dynamic, alternately taking each other's breath away with stories and feats showcasing their respective abilities. The same qualities help these two as a duo attract attention from others—don't be surprised to see crowds gather when these two show what they can do! At a more abstract level, the Horse and Monkey share a deeply compatible creative idealism, a common belief in virtuosity and commitment. As collaborators, they may be more inclined to take turns than to play at the same time, but there is every chance they will agree strongly about what is good or bad.
These two do have some potentially serious headwinds to contend with. Compatibility in the Chinese zodiac is all about the four Trine Families, and the families of the Horse (with the Dog and Tiger) and Monkey (with the Dragon and Rat) have a reputation for tension. While the Horse and Monkey may avoid the worst of this energy (e.g., the Horse and Rat, or the Monkey and Tiger), their instincts can still be very different at times.
The Horse is quintessentially independent, whereas the Monkey loves social connection. The Monkey delights in intrigue, and is extremely adept at handling complex social situations, while the Horse usually prefers to remain aloof or rise above the fray. If a relationship between these signs amplifies rather than addressing these essential differences, the Horse may become remarkably distant or selfish, while the Monkey may be disillusioned, miserable, or bitter.
Ultimately, this is a relationship where sensitivity around communication, and a balance of distance with closeness, can pay significant dividends. If the potentially destabilizing differences can be managed, the extent of mutual admiration and shared values can foster a terrifically rewarding relationship.

Daniel Barenboim (11/15/1942, Scorpio Horse), Jacqueline du Pré (1/26/1945, Aquarius Monkey) : The celebrated classical musicians were married from 1967 until du Pré's death from multiple sclerosis (MS) in 1987. Their marriage attracted controversy, in part because Barenboim reportedly began a hidden family with his second wife (Elena Bashkirova) while du Pré was alive. Barenboim continues to raise money for MS research, and in 2017 described meeting du Pré: "There was chamber music being played and before we spoke we sat down to play together — we played a Brahms sonata — and understood each other musically, perfectly, and then outside of music too...She was [a unique musician,] not exactly very knowledgeable about things to do with music in a musicological or scientific way, but she had an uncanny instinct and quickness of brain that was mind-boggling. She would see a piece for the first time and she was able to not just play the notes but get to the essence of it."
Kevin Costner (1/18/1955, Capricorn Horse), Cindy Costner (10/29/1956, Scorpio Monkey) : The actor and actor/director met in college, before Kevin Costner began his acting career. They were married between 1978 and 1994, and had three children together. During the making of the Costner-directed Dances with Wolves, the two collaborated extensively behind the scenes. Their divorce settlement is one of the largest in Hollywood history. Shortly before their separation, Kevin said: "The temptations are pretty strong—and there’s a hungry world out there waiting for you to fall. So you can’t even dabble without paying a huge price. I try to conduct my life with a certain amount of dignity and discretion—but marriage is a hard, hard gig."
Swizz Beatz (9/13/1978, Virgo Horse), Alicia Keys (1/25/1981, Aquarius Monkey) : The record producer and musician have been married since 2010 and have two children. In 2021, Keys described: "I think one of the things we're really good at is giving each other the space that we need. That's not a hard thing for us. And even just being intuitive about what each other needs is also something that comes really fluid for us. We'll always check in and we're always making sure we're good."
Harrison Ford (7/13/1942, Cancer Horse), Carrie Fisher (10/21/1956, Libra Monkey) : The two actors shared one of the famous fictional relationships of all time as Princess Leia and Han Solo in the Star Wars movies. Shortly before her unexpected death in 2016, Fisher revealed in her memoir, The Princess Diarist, that they had an affair while making the first film in the series, when she was 19. She described contacting Ford prior to publication: "I said [to Ford], 'I found the journals that I kept during the first movie, and I’m probably going to publish them...I’ll show it to you before and you can take anything out that you want taken out. I don’t want to make you uncomfortable'...I wouldn’t have ambushed him like that, but it’s still – no matter if I told him or not, it probably feels like an ambush. It feels like an ambush to me, and I’m the one who wrote it." After Fisher died, Ford released a statement saying, "Carrie was one-of-a-kind, brilliant, original. Funny and emotionally fearless. She lived her life, bravely...We will all miss her."
Rachel McAdams (11/17/1978, Scorpio Horse), Ryan Gosling (11/12/1980, Scorpio Monkey) : The two actors starred together in The Notebook (2004). During filming, tension between the two led to Gosling asking for another actor to read McAdam's part. Director Nick Cassavetes retold: "[Gosling said,] 'Would you take her out of here and bring in another actress to read off camera with me?...I can’t. I can’t do it with her. I’m just not getting anything from this.'...We went into a room with a producer; they started screaming and yelling at each other...They had it out...I think Ryan respected her for standing up for her character and Rachel was happy to get that out in the open. The rest of the film wasn’t smooth sailing, but it was smoother sailing." Later the two actors dated for two years between 2005 and 2007, with Gosling saying at one point, "I mean, God bless The Notebook. It introduced me to one of the great loves of my life. But people do Rachel and me a disservice by assuming we were anything like the people in that movie. Rachel and my love story is a hell of a lot more romantic than that."
Ted Hughes (8/17/1930, Leo Horse), Sylvia Plath (10/27/1932, Scorpio Monkey) : The writers, two of the most celebrated poets of their generation, were married from 1956 until Plath's death by suicide in 1963. They had two children. The relationship remains controversial due to Hughes' infidelity and posthumous allegations of abuse, which Hughes has denied. Plath described about their courtship: "We kept writing poems to each other. Then it just grew out of that, I guess, a feeling that we both were writing so much and having such a fine time doing it, we decided that this should keep on."
Chris Evert (12/21/1954, Sagittarius Horse), Martina Navratilova (10/18/1956, Libra Monkey) : The two legendary tennis players shared one of the most celebrated rivalries in the history of sports, winning 18 grand slam titles each between 1973 and 1988. In 2020, Evert described their evolution from rivals to friendship: "In the beginning, I was beating her; I was practicing with her; we were playing doubles together. Then she started beating me, and I broke up the doubles, because I felt like I was getting too close. We went our own ways...It really wasn't until the end of our careers, maybe the last five years, that we got along well...Martina is definitely one of my closest friends right now. We have no competition. There's no tension in our relationship whatsoever. It's a freeing kind of a feeling. I can really enjoy her and her personality now and she can really enjoy me.
