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)]."

At its heart, Chinese astrology is about four Trine Families. One such family comprises the Ox and Snake (with their close ally the Rooster). The energy that unites these two emphasises determination, perseverance, and sharp acumen.

The Ox is likely to be deeply impressed by the Snake's philosophical outlook, and being typically self-assured, the Ox is comfortable allowing themselves to be seduced by the Snake's other-worldly allure. The Snake, meanwhile, is instinctively drawn to the sense of security and strength of will that defines the Ox. Hence these two are natural partners, the Ox's legendary stubbornness interweaving beautifully with the Snake's patience and occasional guile. Together, they share deeply-held values around the importance of home, privacy, and duty. Indeed, as a pair they might occasionally be accused of a certain inflexibility, given the strength of their shared convictions, which other signs with less forceful energy may find challenging to navigate.

The ability of the Ox and Snake to work as a team, calmly anticipating and evaluating opportunities, then driving success with incredible reserves of physical and intellectual power, is perhaps unrivalled in all of astrology. As good as this relationship is in times of plenty, it is often even stronger in the face of adversity—which may be its greatest quality of all.

George Clooney has described: "The truth was I met this amazing woman, and she took my breath away. She was brilliant and funny and beautiful and kind. I was sort of swept off my feet."

Nas (9/14/1973, Virgo Ox), Dr. Dre (2/18/1965, Aquarius Snake) : Collaborations between these two Hip-Hop greats have been credited with helping to ease tensions during the East Coast/West Coast rap rivalry during the 1990s.

Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell

Finneas O'Connell (7/30/1997, Leo Ox), Billie Eilish (12/18/2001, Sagittarius Snake) : The singer/songwriter and singer/songwriter/producer are sister and brother. The two have collaborated extensively, notably on Eilish's hugely successful and multi-award-winning albums When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019) and Happier Than Ever (2021). In a joint interview, Connell described: "Then we were like, 'Let’s make some songs,' that kind of casual thing turned into this more serious thing, and so we had this excuse to see each other all the time. Most of the people that I’m closest to have a really close relationship with their siblings — I think that’s why I identify with them — but they just have no excuse to see them...And so I think that’s the other thing that has cemented our closeness, is just we have this excuse. It’s part of the reason I love going on tour with Billie — I have this excuse to get to spend months at a time with her." Eilish said, "We bicker so much, you would not believe it...Since we were babies, we fight all the time like siblings do. We’re so annoyed by each other and infuriated by things. But we also get along really well, and literally, no one on the earth makes me laugh the way that Finneas does. [O'CONNELL: Likewise]. I think that that part is probably the part that people say they don’t have with their siblings, which makes me sad because it’s the most amazing part of my life."

Sam Peckinpah (2/21/1925, Pisces Ox), Begoña Palacios (12/28/1941, Capricorn Snake) : The Mexican actor and famously troubled US director were married and divorced three times. Their daughter Lupita recalled, "They were so in love with each other but they were two people who couldn't be together but couldn't be separate. There was a lot of passion and love between them. She lived in the past and agonised about losing him. My mother always respected my father very much and she always told me great and beautiful things about him."

Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle

Dave Chappelle (8/24/1973, Virgo Ox), Chris Rock (2/7/1965, Aquarius Snake) : The two comedians are good friends who have expressed mutual admiration and appeared together on stage multiple times. Rock has described: "There was like a couple shows that were just me and Dave on stage for like two hours. He would call up my road manager, like, 'I'm coming.' ...I just love Dave, and I look at it like [Jean-Michel] Basquiat and [Andy] Warhol and we’re just collaborating."

Heidi Klum (6/1/1973, Gemini Ox), Tom Kaulitz (9/1/1989, Virgo Snake) : The model/entertainer/businesswoman and musician married in 2019. Kaulitz is Klum's third husband, and she has four children from previous relationships. She has described: "For the first time, [in Kaulitz] I have a partner who I can discuss everything with. Someone who shares duties that we all have in our life."

Jeff Bridges (12/4/1949, Sagittarius Ox), Beau Bridges (12/9/1941, Sagittarius Snake) : The two brothers are both screen actors, part of a dynasty with father Lloyd Bridges. In 2014, they appeared on stage together at a sold-out event entitled, "Beau and Jeff: A Tale of Two Bridges". Jeff has described their relationship and shared profession by saying, "It’s not a competition. It’s like we’re on the same team."
