Western Zodiac
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 (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 (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 (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!"
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)]."

Compatibility overview
Forewarned is forearmed—there is no sugar-coating in Chinese astrology when it comes to reputedly difficult matches. The combination of firsteast and secondeast is notorious for personality clashes or intense rivalries, because the instincts and personalities of these signs tend to be diametrically opposed. That said, the prospects here are by no means all negative, and there can be significant, even extraordinary, upsides to this relationship.

Around the Chinese zodiac wheel are six infamously Opposite matches, including that between the Ox and Sheep. The characters of these two signs could hardly be more different. Where the Ox's natural disposition is resolute, determined, and opinionated, the peaceful Sheep inclines towards fluidity and abstraction. Hence interactions between these two often amplify a sense of polarization and tension.
The Ox, who prizes solidity in their professional and private lives, may find that the changeability of the Sheep makes them feel as if they are always in the midst of shifting sands. The Sheep, on the other hand, can be profoundly destabilized by the Ox's unwavering world-view, which for the Sheep stymies the aesthetic ideals of freedom and beauty that give their life meaning. The result can be a vicious circle, where both signs become ever more uncomfortable and entrenched in their positions. The wilful Ox, trying to force stability onto the relationship, may seem increasingly rigid and domineering. The Sheep, desperate to avoid criticism and feeling closed in, could find themselves running around in frantic circles, constantly changing their mind.
Like all Opposite relationships, however, the discord between these two can, in fact, yield truly astounding results. Like the symbols of Yin and Yang, each of these opposite signs supplies bountiful energy in an area where the other is most deficient. If their respective forces can be joined into a common cause, these two can therefore wield an extraordinary collective force. Collaborations or competitions—even conflicts—between these two have the potential to be amazingly successful, captivating the attention of audiences with what is in effect a full spectrum of energy.
It may still be a challenge for the Sheep and Ox to share in each other's successes, such is the incompatibility between them. However, counterbalancing Western energy, or a combination of self-acceptance and generosity, may enable them to reap together an embarrassment of riches.

Jane Fonda (12/21/1937, Sagittarius Ox), Katharine Hepburn (5/12/1907, Taurus Sheep) : The two actors co-starred memorably in the film, On Golden Pond (1981), for which Hepburn won an Oscar for Best Actress. Fonda described in 2021: "What an interesting woman. I mean, we were not friends. [Hepburn] was really competitive. She really thought that I was out to win more Academy Awards than she was, and when she won for On Golden Pond I called to congratulate her, and she said, 'You'll never catch me now.'...She did not like me. She once [said] that I didn't have a soul...She took that very seriously about teaching to younger people. She took me—I can't say under her wing, she didn't like me very much...What I loved about her was that she took the job of being an elder very seriously. She was intentional about teaching me and talking to me, including giving me line readings, and I found that just wonderful."
Keira Knightley (3/26/1985, Aries Ox), David Cronenberg (3/15/1943, Pisces Sheep) : The actor and director worked together on the biopic, A Dangerous Method. Talking about the sadomasochistic scenes in the film, Cronenberg has said, "I had a lot of fun. I’m not so sure about Keira...We had a very frank discussion about what would disturb her, what she was comfortable with, and so on. She was never comfortable with it, but comfort was not my main thing."
Frank Vincent (4/15/1937, Aries Ox), Joe Pesci (2/9/1943, Aquarius Sheep) : The two actors were longtime friends and collaborators as bandmates and a comedy duo before becoming famous for their roles as gangsters in Scorcese blockbusters including Goodfellas. Speaking of his highly combustible, love-hate relationship with Pesci, Vincent commented, "We were like a husband and wife and broke up many times...Every night we'd argue over every word...We would never say who's the boss but we were two very creative people."
Rian Johnson (12/17/1973, Sagittarius Ox), Natasha Lyonne (4/4/1979, Aries Sheep) : The actor and filmmaker collaborated on the TV show Poker Face, an innovative throwback to serialized shows from the 1970s. Johnson described: "The whole thing is a bespoke suit, cut entirely to [Lyonne]...[W]hen I first came to her, all I came to her with was the notion of a procedural show, case-of-the-week thing, you at the center of it. That’s all I had. And then we started up conversations and went back and forth and really started true collaboration...Everything about it was trying to harness and even amplify everything that I love about watching Natasha on screen. The whole thing is completely cut to measure for her."
Caitlyn Jenner (10/28/1949, Scorpio Ox), Kris Jenner (11/5/1955, Scorpio Sheep) : The two media personalities were married for 22 years. They had two children together and raised a blended family including children from their previous marriages. Shortly after finalizing their divorce in 2014, Caitlyn (previously Bruce) Jenner came out as transgender in 2015. Kris Jenner has said publicly that the publication of Caitlyn's memoir, The Secrets of My Life, resulted in a period of estrangement, but that relations have since improved: "We're fine. Yeah, we're friends. And I see her when she's at a family thing so it's, you know, settled down a lot. I think [Caitlyn's transition] was a big shock. It's a scary thing to go through because you know nothing about it. It's a subject I never thought that I would ever have to directly deal with [or] confront [or] be understanding about. Something that I didn't, you know, understand."
Meryl Streep (6/22/1949, Cancer Ox), Robert De Niro (8/17/1943, Leo Sheep) : These two famous actors worked together on the sets of Falling in Love (1984) and The Deer Hunter (1978). When presenting an award to Streep, De Niro stated, "Meryl is the most generous and giving actor...She not only inhabits her own character, she helps bring out the character of everyone else on the screen...Meryl doesn't seem to have any imperfections. And I say that with the most love for you, Meryl."
Nas (9/14/1973, Virgo Ox), Rakim (1/28/1968, Aquarius Sheep) : The two rappers have collaborated together and share a close bond as part of the hip hop community. Seeking to dispel rumours about a breakdown in their relationship, Rakim acknowledged that he felt there was a breach of privacy in Nas's tribute track, "The Unauthorized Biography of Rakim", which references Rakim’s professional and private history. Rakim explained, "I pulled him [Nas] to the side and let him know I still got love for him. At the same time it’s principles. I’ve always been a reserved person. There’s certain things I speak about and certain things I don’t speak about. I just felt violated almost that he touched on certain things I haven’t even touched on."

Final Words
The own-sign combination of firstwest and secondwest means these two may be able to rely on a shared outlook for much of the time, though they will need to watch out for the kinds of overfamiliarity and contestation that are inevitable with a lack of balancing energy. The real challenge for these two, however, will be managing the ferocious oppositional energy of firsteast and secondeast, which can be as unsettling as it is powerful.
