Sagittarius and Sagittarius

Compatibility overview

A dynamic yet equally soulful and reflective match, two Sagittarius souls together are apt to form a strong and dependable combination. There may be need to be some distance from time to time, for as with any own-sign match, there will inevitably be a surplus of energy in some areas and a concomitant lack of balance. Yet these two are usually able to stand up to each other's intense and insightful nature, making them ideal collaborators, and potentially fostering great respect and warmth.

Sagittarius is the last of the three Fire signs (after Aries and Leo). Fire is the most dynamic, high-impact of the elements, and few signs can match the intensity of Sagittarius when it comes to taking charge or asserting themselves. Yet Sagittarius is also the most famously philosophical of all the signs. Often, a shared fascination with abstract concerns may form the backbone of an alliance between two souls born under this sign.

Having a shared element is naturally regarded as an extremely favorable connection. When one Sagittarius encounters another, they can expect to quickly recognize each other's kindred instincts. This sign tends to have little patience for what they see as saccharine emotions or superficial distractions. Sagittarius is all about the big picture, indeed they often see humanity itself in cosmic terms, as simply one element in a much larger scheme of nature and the universe. In some contexts, this instinctively macro perspective of Sagittarius can come across as dismissive or combative. Two Sagittarius souls together, however, are likely to relish an opportunity to truly flex their powers of perception and insight, without having to worry too much about hurting anyone's feelings in their search for higher meaning. Indeed, the devotion of Sagittarius to abstract ideals can be one of the universe's great treasures. For two people sharing this sign to unite in a common enterprise offers great potential for inspiration and idealism, both for the parties themselves and the world at large.

Two souls born under the same sign will inevitably have to face the lack of balance in their combined energy matrix. The real issue for Sagittarius stems from their shared Mutable modality, a reflective influence which accentuates a concern for effects, implications, and consequences, more than direct action. Two natives of Sagittarius together may find their natural inclination towards abstract matters means they neglect to attend to more pressing, here-and-now matters like self-care or compromise. Sagittarius is usually highly ambitious in setting goals for themselves, so these two may struggle to manage deadlines, and may out-face each other with highly demanding or overly idealistic projects. For the most part, they may be happily thick-skinned with each other, but at times they may miss the tenderness that other signs could more safely provide.

Overall, this is a relationship between astrological equals, offering huge benefits in the way of inspiration, support, and security. The conflicts and challenges flowing from a lack of balance are likely to be just as intense as the rest of the relationship between these fiery philosophical types, and a healthy distance at times would be recommended. Yet chances are these two will always maintain a sense of their close connection, which offers great prospects of success in many contexts.

Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal

Taylor Swift (12/13/1989, Sagittarius Snake), Jake Gyllenhaal (12/19/1980, Sagittarius Monkey) : Singer/songwriter Swift and actor Gyllenhaal shared a brief romance in 2010 that, at the time and subsequently, has attracted significant attention. The relationship reportedly inspired much of Swift's multi-platinum album, Red (2012). In 2013, Swift described talking to Gyllenhaal later: "[Gyllenhaal] was like, ‘I just listened to the album, and that was a really bittersweet experience for me. It was like going through a photo album.’ That was nice. Nicer than, like, the ranting, crazy e-mails I got from this one dude. It’s a lot more mature way of looking at a love that was wonderful until it was terrible, and both people got hurt from it — but one of those people happened to be a songwriter. So what are you going to do? Did you not Wikipedia me before you called me up [for a date]?"

Chris Evert (12/21/1954, Sagittarius Horse), Billie Jean King (11/22/1943, Sagittarius Sheep) : The two legendary tennis players forged a strong friendship when they played on the professional circuit in the 1970s and 1980s. Evert has described how King defended her from bullying when she was a teenager. In 2023, Evert said: "It’s [King's] effect on women’s sports — not just women’s tennis. She’s probably the most driven person I’ve ever known in my life. Her vision was unbelievable when it came to women’s team sports. It was taboo 50 years ago to be a women’s athlete. It wasn’t admired. Now women can be proud to be an athlete and she changed that perception. I’ve remained very close to Billie Jean [and Martina (Navratilova)], more than anyone else who played then. We’ve always stayed in touch. I see (Billie) at all the Grand Slams. We have such a friendship where over the years we can finish each other's sentences. We all know what we’ve both been through."

Billy Connolly and Pamela Stephenson

Billy Connolly (11/24/1942, Sagittarius Horse), Pamela Stephenson (12/4/1949, Sagittarius Ox) : The legendary British comedian and psychologist have been married since 1989. They have three children. In her best-selling biography of Connolly, Billy (2002), Stephenson wrote: "For Billy, reading each chapter after completion has elicited the shock of self-confrontation, accompanied by by frequent laughter, occasional fury and a few precious tears as he painfully re-experienced many traumatic events. Most rewardingly for the author, the process of drawing together the following occurrences and providing insights might well have been a catalyst for his further healing, although Billy will have none of that: ‘Pish!’ He cries. ‘As my old granny Flora used to say, "The more you know, the less the better."'"

Tom Waits (12/7/1949, Sagittarius Ox), Keith Richards (12/18/1943, Sagittarius Sheep) : The two musicians formed an enduring friendship when they collaborated together on Waits' legendary albums, Rain Dogs (1985), and Bone Machine (1992). In 2015, Waits wrote a poem dedicated to Richards for Rolling Stone magazine. Waits described in 2021, "There’s nobody in the world like [Richards]. We wrote songs together for a while and that was fun [but] he doesn’t really remember anything or write anything down. So, you play for an hour and he would yell across the room, ‘Scribe!’ And I looked around. ‘Scribe? Who’s the scribe?’ And he’d say it again, now pointing at me. I was supposed to have written down everything we said and dreamt of and played. And I realised we needed an adult in the room. I’ve never been the one that one would consider the adult. It was an interesting dynamic."

Kenneth Branagh and Judi Dench

Kenneth Branagh (12/10/1960, Sagittarius Rat), Judi Dench (12/9/1934, Sagittarius Dog) : The two British actors share a close friendship and have collaborated multiple times over 35 years, including on the films, Ghosts (1987), Henry V (1989), My Week with Marilyn (2011), Murder on the Orient Express (2017), All is True (2018), and Belfast (2021). As well as acting together, they have also directed one another in film and stage productions. In a joint 2022 interview, they shared this exchange: "[Branagh:] [Dench] has a very healthy, a very rigorous, and I would say savage, artistic judgment and artistic conscience. [Dench:] I certainly don’t believe ‘savage.’ [Branagh:] I mean ‘savage’ in terms of rigorous. [Dench:] Was I savage when I gave you notes for ‘Much Ado About Nothing’?...You wouldn’t stay for the notes! [Branagh:] We have had our run-ins about these kinds of things. I would say ‘savagery’ in terms of being an artistic Puritan. [Dench:] That is much nicer. [Branagh:] Well, it’s in the same world!"

Lil Baby and 42 Dugg

42 Dugg (11/25/1994, Sagittarius Dog), Lil Baby (12/3/1994, Sagittarius Dog) : The two rappers share a close and collaborative friendship, having worked together on the songs, "We Paid" (2020), "Grace" (2020), and "U-Digg" (2022). 42 Dugg described in 2021, "Baby was my mans. I’m like, if I do anything, I want to include my mans. So that’s how it went...We just was freestyling...A lot of times, me and Baby will throw in some beats, and we’ll just start talking s— to each other. That’s how we made ‘We Paid.’...I didn’t even like the song. I didn’t like it because it was a different beat. So when I started rapping, I wasn’t that comfortable until he played it again. [Lil Baby] played it when we were shooting ‘Grace,’ and it went viral. Everybody in Detroit was like, ‘What the f— is this song?’ It ain’t even have no name. Then he named it ‘We Paid’ and said he’s going to put it on the [Lil Baby album, My Turn (Deluxe) (2020)]."

Horse and Sheep

Compatibility overview

This is simply one of the most special connections in the Chinese zodiac. Real relationships are never without complexity, but the energy here is as favourable as can be. Even casual acquaintances between these two can be surprisingly meaningful, and given chance to blossom, the bond may prove transformational in the best way possible.

In Chinese astrology, the high-water mark of compatibility is usually the other members of each sign's own Trine Family—like the elements in Western astrology. However, each sign also has a special Soulmate connection with one sign from their kindred Trine Family. The Horse and Sheep share this exceptional Soulmate energy.

In the right circumstances, communication will flow easily from the get-go. The Sheep can be fretful in other company, but the Horse's brand of passionate independence calms and delights them in equal measure. When the Sheep is at ease, there is no more enchanting a creature in the Chinese zodiac, and the Horse will likely find the effects irresistible.

The real marvel of this connection, as it matures, is how the traits of these two souls complement and enhance one another. The Sheep's creative gifts are brilliant but risk being stifled by hesitancy and fragility. The Horse contributes a decisive, free-thinking independence that builds the Sheep's self-worth and gives them the confidence to share their gifts at large. The Horse, meanwhile, has a tendency towards excessive detachment and selfishness, which can make them lonely and insensitive towards others. The charms of the Sheep are capable of effortlessly breaking down the Horse's defences, making them more approachable and understanding, and softening their wilful nature with a sense of closeness and belonging.

It can be helpful to bear in mind that, as the Horse and Sheep grow closer, their Soulmate connection may be demanding. A bit like a Stradivarius, the music here can be divine if everything is tuned correctly, but problems—such as competing allegiances or excessive self-doubt—can feel especially awful. If these two signs are able to prioritize their relationship, however, and give their shared energy the scope to fulfil its potential, the prospects for successful collaboration and loving support are virtually limitless.

After Forster was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2018, Lydon became her full-time carer. When Lydon's song, "Hawaii", became a contender to represent Ireland in the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest, he said: "I thought it would be really good because it meant my lovely wife, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s, might get a great sense of fun out of it if she managed to guess who it was. We’ve lived together for 47 years, Nora and I, so she must have some clues as to who I am and what I can get up to." In February 2023, Lydon described: "All the things I thought were the ultimate agony seem preposterous now. [Alzheimer's has] shaped me into what I am. I don’t think I’ll ever get over it. I don’t see how I can live without her. I wouldn’t want to. There’s no point."

Love Hewitt has described on Instagram: "The best thing I have ever done will always be marrying him, having our kids and watching them change and grow every day."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The own-sign match of firstwest and secondwest means this pairing has plenty in common. Good humor and easy repartee are likely, even if overfamiliarity may at times lead to a lack of excitement or problems resolving disputes. However, countering any less than ideal energy is the uniquely harmonious match of the firsteast and secondeast Soulmate connection, which gives this relationship truly stellar prospects.
