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.

Christopher Guest and Jamie Lee Curtis

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."

Rabbit and Monkey

Compatibility overview

This uneven yet charming match has the potential to bring a good deal of happiness. The firsteast and secondeast are not classically thought of as an ideal match, but their combination does not ring alarm bells either. Instead, these two together summon a gentle, creative, and quite esoteric energy, that in the right circumstances can be very supportive and pleasurable.

The Eastern zodiac is underpinned by four Trine Families. Truth be told, the families of the Monkey (with the Dragon and Rat) and the Rabbit (with the Pig and Sheep) are not known for great harmony, and some of the matches between them have a risky reputation (e.g., the Monkey and Pig, or the Rabbit and Dragon). The Monkey and Rabbit can therefore be expected to experience some uncertainty and miscommunication, and to question each other's priorities from time to time. Fortunately, however, they share some strong synergies that can bring much enjoyment and closeness.

Creativity is a defining attribute for both of these signs. The Monkey's ingenuity and sparkling wit can provide boundless inspiration for the Rabbit's artistic soul, while the Monkey will rarely fail to be impressed by the Rabbit's selfless devotion and natural-born expressive skills. Indeed, the creative instincts of these signs can give the relationship itself a highly original, idiosyncratic quality. These two also have a tendency to be naturally guarded or defensive. The Monkey's lively exterior can mask recurrent feelings of despondency, while the Rabbit's sensitivity means they instinctively shy away from confrontation or drama. With each other, however, both signs may be encouraged to open up more than usual, the Monkey revealing a softer side than they ordinarily reveal, and the Rabbit becoming less inhibited and more socially confident.

There are likely to be limits to this mutual admiration and relaxation, of course. The Monkey is by nature a far less placid, more excitable creature than the Rabbit. Hence the Monkey's appetite for stimulation may destabilize or overwhelm the Rabbit, while the Rabbit's desire for calm could depress or stultify the Monkey. If things get too difficult, the Monkey could find themselves making fun of or taunting the Rabbit, while the Rabbit's escapist tendencies may leave the Monkey neglected or unfulfilled.

Ultimately, while relationships that are more casual or give each party plenty of space often work best here, in any context the creativity, quirkiness, and warmth of this connection can greatly enrich the lives of both signs.

Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill

Mark Hamill (9/25/1951, Libra Rabbit), Carrie Fisher (10/21/1956, Libra Monkey) : The two actors became Hollywood royalty after appearing as Luke and Leia in the original Star Wars trilogy, and they developed a lasting friendship. Hamill described: "I wasn’t her best friend – she had so many friends and I’d go to parties with her and I would be the only one there I’d never heard of. But there was a comfort level that we’d achieved because she knew I wasn’t ever angling for a favour or trying to get her to introduce me to this agent or this director. We became like real siblings over the years."

Rick Rubin (3/10/1963, Pisces Rabbit), Johnny Cash (2/26/1932, Pisces Monkey) : The music producer and country music icon collaborated on the bare-bones acoustic American Recordings series in the 1990s/2000, which led to a significant late-career revival for Cash. Rubin described: "[Cash] didn’t know who I was, but he wanted to understand why I would want to work with him because why would anyone want to work with him? In his mind, he was done. I didn’t convince him. We just sat and talked for a while, and I said, ‘Well, let’s just sit down and play me songs you love, and we’ll figure out what to do.’ He sat in my living room and he just started playing me these songs, most of which I had never heard, old country songs, or old folk songs, and it was magnificent."

Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt (12/18/1963, Sagittarius Rabbit), Jennifer Aniston (2/11/1969, Aquarius Monkey) : The two actors shared one of the most famous marriages in the world between 2000 and 2005—then one of the most famous break-ups, as Pitt began another high-profile relationship with Angelina Jolie shortly afterwards. Asked about Pitt and Jolie appearing in a 60-page photo-spread within months of her own divorce, Aniston described: "I can also imagine Brad having absolutely no clue why people would be appalled by it. Brad is not mean-spirited; he would never intentionally try to rub something in my face. In hindsight, I can see him going, 'Oh—I can see that that was inconsiderate.' But I know Brad. Brad would say, 'That’s art!'. There’s a sensitivity chip that’s missing." Fifteen years later, after the two were photographed chatting amiably in 2020, Aniston commented: "You know, Brad and I are buddies. Like, we're friends and we speak."

Nicolas Cage (1/7/1964, Capricorn Rabbit), Patricia Arquette (4/8/1968, Aries Monkey) : The two actors were married from 1995 to 2001. When Cage initially pursued Arquette in the 1980s, he reportedly asked her to provide a list of valuables he could obtain to prove his devotion—including a J.D. Salinger signature and a "black orchid"—many of which he provided. Nearly a decade later, they encountered one another again and were married within two weeks.

Alicia Keys and Whitney Houston

Whitney Houston (8/9/1963, Leo Rabbit), Alicia Keys (1/25/1981, Aquarius Monkey) : The two singers were close friends, with Houston acting as a mentor for Keys over many years. Speaking at Houston's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020, Keys described their relationship as, "A beautiful friendship that was so genuine, and so sincere. We were kindred spirits and instant sisters." Keys recounted: "When I first met [Houston]...I was still in awe of this crazy world I was newly welcomed into, and she marched right up to me, and she said, 'You are gonna write a song for me.' I couldn’t believe it! Had the greatest voice of all time just demanded that of little ole me? I was shocked and completely overjoyed, and slightly scared."

Final Words

The Sextile connection between firstwest and secondwest is perhaps the most uniquely joyful and low-maintenance in the Western zodiac, offering both any-kind-of-weather reliability and belly-laughs in spades. This injects welcome lightness to the dynamic between the firsteast and secondeast in this relationship, two signs who often admire and care about each other greatly, but can also experience a sense of not being fully appreciated or understood. Overall, this is an energy matrix that bodes well for trustworthiness and humor, accentuating the highs, and smoothing quickly over the lows.
