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."

Ox and Rooster

Compatibility overview

Four Trine Families provide the backbone of the Chinese zodiac. The Ox and Rooster together make up one of these (along with their natural ally, the Snake). This family tends to attract great fortune in ventures, especially of a commercial nature, that reward tenacity, patience, and excellent judgement. The Rooster is sometimes underestimated in these respects, because they are usually flamboyant fashionistas with a lively, even brash, exterior. Onlookers might not expect them to gel with the usually more staid and obviously purposeful Ox. In truth, however, these two complement each other wonderfully.

The Ox tends to guard the more excitable side of their character, preferring to seem unflappable even in the company of those they know well. But the Rooster's brand of extroversion helps the Ox to relax, to feel comfortable about revealing their more adventurous side. Don't be surprised to find these two injecting some hilarity into social situations! Perhaps the Ox is put at ease because beneath the Rooster's panache lies such profound diligence and commitment. For their part, the Rooster is likely to find themselves deeply impressed by the stamina and shrewdness of the indefatigable Ox. Together, not only will these two be able to draw on an extraordinary ability to identify untapped opportunities, especially of a financial nature, but they will have almost limitless reserves of determination and patience to ensure ultimate success in their chosen venture.

Outsiders may find the shared world between the Ox and Rooster somewhat difficult to penetrate, and there is potential for inflexibility or insensitivity to others. But it would be unwise to bet against these two achieving whatever they set their minds to, not to mention having a whale of a time together along the way.

Pharrell Williams (4/5/1973, Aries Ox), Ariana Grande (6/26/1993, Cancer Rooster) : Musician/producer Williams produced and collaborated on singer/songwriter/actor Grande's Sweetener album. Grande described: "I don’t mix well with people who have crazy egos and right away [Williams] was super fun and chill and nice and there wasn’t any of that. He was more worried about getting to know me and making sure I was comfortable."

Sammy Davis, Jr. (12/8/1925, Sagittarius Ox), Kim Novak (2/13/1933, Aquarius Rooster) : The actor and entertainer reportedly shared an intense but risky romance in the late 1950s. Novak later described: "It was a very dangerous relationship then—a white woman and a black man, no matter his status—it simply didn’t mix publicly. I was suddenly in the eye of a hurricane."

Warren Beatty and Diane Keaton

Warren Beatty (3/30/1937, Aries Ox), Diane Keaton (1/5/1946, Capricorn Rooster) : The two actors had a high-profile romance around the making of Red in 1981. Thirty-five years later, Keaton still talks fondly about Beatty: "He is curious about everyone. He is so seductive in that regard. He makes you feel like you are the only one, the person that matters; that you are just absolutely fascinating, you know? And it’s with everyone, across the board. He just has this presence."

James Gandolfini (9/18/1961, Virgo Ox), David Chase (8/22/1945, Leo Rooster) : The actor and film-maker were close friends, who shared an iconic collaboration as the creator and lead actor in the TV series, The Sopranos (1999-2007). In a eulogy at Gandolfini's funeral in 2013, Chase described: "[V]ery early on, we were shooting in that really hot summer in humid New Jersey, and I looked over and you were sitting in an aluminum beach chair with your slacks rolled up to your knees, and black socks and black shoes, and a damp, wet handkerchief on your head...I was filled with love, and I knew then that I was in the right place...It made me so proud of our heritage to see you do that, and when I say that you were my brother, this has a lot to do with that. Italian-American. Italian worker. Builder. That Jersey thing, whatever that means. The same social class. I really feel, though that I’m older than you, I always felt that we were brothers — and partly based on that day. I was filled with so much love for everything that we were doing and what we were about to embark on. I also feel you’re my brother because of the things we both loved. Family. Work. People in all their imperfection. Food. Alcohol. Talking. Rage. And a desire to bring the whole structure crashing down."

Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey

Woody Harrelson (7/23/1961, Leo Ox), Matthew McConaughey (11/4/1969, Scorpio Rooster) : The two actors have been close friends for decades and have collaborated multiple times, including in Welcome to Hollywood (1998/2000), EDtv (1999), Surfer Dude (2008), and True Detective (2014). Responding to the suggestion that they might in fact be biological brothers, McConaughey said in 2023: "You know, where I start and where [Harrelson] ends, and where he starts and I end, has always been like a murky line. And that’s part of our bromance, right? My kids call him Uncle Woody. His kids call me Uncle Matthew. And you see pictures of us and my family thinks a lot of pictures of him are me. His family thinks a lot of pictures of me are him."

Sissy Spacek (12/25/1949, Capricorn Ox), Jack Fisk (12/19/1945, Sagittarius Rooster) : The actor and production designer/director have been married since 1971 and have two daughters together. Spacek has described: "First we met working together, and throughout the 1970s we just did almost every film together. We really supported one another and we really understood the business. It was what brought us together. And we were passionate about the same things, including movie-making. And that's something that we continue to share."

Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka

Naomi Osaka (10/16/1997, Libra Ox), Serena Williams (9/26/1981, Libra Rooster) : The two champion tennis players forged a strong bond after they met in the final of the US Open in 2018, when Williams received three on-court violations, and Osaka was visibly upset after her victory. In the aftermath of the match, Williams wrote an apology to Osaka, saying: "As I said on the court, I am so proud of you and I am truly sorry. I thought I was doing the right thing in sticking up for myself. But I had no idea the media would pit us against each other. I would love the chance to live that moment over again. I am, was, and will always be happy for you and supportive of you...All my love and your fan, Serena." Osaka responded, "People can misunderstand anger for strength because they can’t differentiate between the two. No one has stood up for themselves the way you have and you need to continue trailblazing." The pair have since maintained their supportive relationship, with Osaka saying in 2021: "It’s always an honour playing [Williams]...I was a little kid watching her play, and just to be on the court playing against her for me is a dream."

Kate Beckinsale (7/26/1973, Leo Ox), Pete Davidson (11/16/1993, Scorpio Rooster) : The actor/model and comedian/actor attracted pervasive media attention when they dated in 2019, with Beckinsale being nearly 20 years older. Seemingly referring to the relationship, Beckinsale said at the time: "I’ve never been in this position before — never dated anybody who comes with their own bag of mischief. It’s all quite shocking, and something to get used to. I think if you liked the person less, you would bow out of it. If that were the main thrust of the relationship, there would be a problem. But it’s not."

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.
