Sagittarius Rabbit and Capricorn Dog

There may be some hesitancy early on, owing to the typically gradual development of closeness between firstwest and secondwest, but with the cherished pairing of the firsteast and secondeast to help them, these two have the potential to hit the highest of highs.

Sagittarius and Capricorn

Compatibility overview

Adjacent signs the Western zodiac, like firstwest and secondwest, have quite a poor reputation in classical astrology. Orthodox approaches say that, like many real-life neighbors, they are wary of each other and prefer to remain at a distance. However, while it can take some time for these two to warm to each other, in fact this connection has great promise, especially for creative enterprises and emotional support.

Signs that are next to each other around the Western zodiac wheel, like Capricorn and Sagittarius, share a Semi-sextile aspect. This is one of only two minor aspects (with the Quincunx), so from the beginning the energy is gentler than other influences, and somewhat lacking in clarity.

These two signs often do not gravitate strongly when they first meet. Capricorn, with their aptitude for understanding and wielding power, tends to be focused on society and social relations. The philosophical Sagittarius, on the other hand, usually occupies a more abstract, less human-focused perspective. Capricorn's element is Earth, a grounding influence that gives them patience, self-discipline, and forthrightness. This can be difficult to reconcile with Sagittarius' Fire, a more variable energy that means Sagittarians vacillate between extremes of intensity and indifference. Early contacts between these two are thus often like ships passing in the night. If they register with each other at all, they may respectfully but noncommittally move on. Given time, however, the initial standoffishness between Capricorn and Sagittarius can prove short-lived.

Capricorn is a Cardinal modality sign, a pure energy that means they are always at the beginning of their projects. This matches superbly with Sagittarius' Mutable modality, for they are always at the end, always wondering what next?. Over time, Capricorn may open their mind to Sagittarius' forceful energy and philosophical depth, and see Sagittarius as a key ally in achieving their own ambitions. Sagittarius may realize how Capricorn's social skills can help them focus on and share their philosophical quests about humankind and the natural world.

Revealing these hidden potentialities may open a door to touching intimacy, respect, and emotional dependability. Creative outputs may be especially exciting, given the contrasting personalities combined with their collaborative potential. Preserving key elements of independence will likely prove important, given the essential differences here.

There is every chance that, if the door to this relationship can be opened, it will develop from strength to strength into a lasting and profoundly rewarding connection.

Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus (11/23/1992, Sagittarius Monkey), Liam Hemsworth (1/13/1990, Capricorn Snake) : The musician and actor were together for ten years and were married from 2018 to 2020. In 2009, Cyrus explained, "We've decided that any type of relationship that we have, we will always just keep it very DL [private]. First and foremost, we are best friends, so that's what I tell people all the time."

Judi Dench (12/9/1934, Sagittarius Dog), Maggie Smith (12/28/1934, Capricorn Dog) : The two Dames and Oscar-winning British actors have been friends since they appeared on stage together in 1958.

In Tea With Mussolini, again we just laughed, we played Scrabble, we drank prosecco and behaved very badly again.

Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor

Sarah Paulson (12/17/1974, Sagittarius Tiger), Holland Taylor (1/14/1943, Capricorn Horse) : The two actors met at a party in 2005 and began dating ten years later in 2015. Paulson has said about the origins of the relationship: "It's a long story. We met a very, very long time ago. I was with someone else; she was, too. We sort of breezed by one another, and then started following each other on Twitter…" More recently, Paulson described in relation to the couple's 30-year age difference: "[T]here is a lot of hate in this world, and a lot of good can come from quote-unquote normalizing something for people who don't see it as normal. Our relationship represents a certain amount of hope and risk. Maybe there's something brave in it. Maybe it encourages others to make brave choices. What else can I say? We love each other."

Arthur C. Clarke (12/16/1917, Sagittarius Snake), Isaac Asimov (1/2/1920, Capricorn Sheep) : The two great writers shared a famously amicable yet playfully competitive relationship. At one time they formed what they called a "treaty", whereby they both accepted that Clarke was the better science fiction writer, and Asimov the better science writer. In the dedications to his essay collection, Report on Planet Three and Other Speculations (1972), Clarke wrote: "In accordance with the terms of the Clarke-Asimov treaty, the second-best science writer dedicates this book to the second-best science-fiction writer."

Rabbit and Dog

Compatibility overview

The generous, sympathetic energy between these signs is one of the treasures of the Chinese zodiac. All relationships have complications, of course, but the energy between the firsteast and the secondeast is as fortunate as the Chinese zodiac has to offer. Whether a fleeting encounter or a lifelong devotion, this connection has the potential to enrich both parties' lives immeasurably.

The essential structure of the Chinese zodiac builds on the four Trine Families. While each sign enjoys very favourable energy with members of their own family, they also have a special Soulmate connection with one sign from their kindred Trine Family. It is this enchanting Soulmate energy that unites the Dog and Rabbit.

The special affinity between these signs can be expected to reveal itself quickly. The Dog prides themselves above all on their values, their sense of right and wrong, and their appreciation for all that is deserving and beautiful. The Rabbit's brand of sensitive idealism, with their gift for aesthetic expression, thus shoots straight to the Dog's heart. On the other hand, the Rabbit can be easily disturbed by drama, showiness, or guile. The plainspoken, trustworthy directness of the Dog will be putting the Rabbit at ease before either has said a word.

Hence this combination is naturally conducive to respect and intimacy from the beginning. As the relationship grows, the potential for supportiveness and mutual progress is virtually unlimited. The Dog's usually forthright persona masks a surprisingly anxious interior life, which the Rabbit's gentle energy soothes, directly and indirectly, whenever they are around. This liberates the Dog to do what they do best—apply their near-infinite capacity for hard work and commitment to the causes that are most important to them. For the Rabbit's part, in other company they may be too overawed or intimidated to fulfil their talents. But the Dog's earnestness and belief in them can provide all the self-confidence they need to prosper.

These two will need to be mindful that their Soulmate energy is something of a high-wire act. It may be enticing and dependable in small doses, but it needs time and dedication to maintain in an enduring close relationship. Conflicting allegiances or distractions can cause real heartbreak here. However, whatever the context, if both parties are able to invest in the relationship appropriately, the instinctive tenderness and admiration that characterizes the Dog/Rabbit pairing can produce one of the Chinese zodiac's most special bonds, as delightful as it is inspirational and productive.

They first met on the set of Orange is the New Black, while Morelli was married to a man. Wiley described the early development of their relationship in 2018, saying, "I remember those first months with her, trying to figure out her journey with her own sexuality. Feeling like she picked me as the person she was going to talk to about all of it. And it wasn’t sexual, it was just like a friend. There was something deeply intimate about that, whether there was sexual tension there or not. The deep intimacy of being two people talking about the core of who we are. Talking about our journeys."

Andrew Ridgeley (1/26/1963, Aquarius Rabbit), George Michael (6/25/1963, Cancer Rabbit) : The two musicians were schoolboy friends who, as the pop duo Wham!, achieved massive success together.

George Michael and Me, he described how Michael was plagued by self-doubt during the recording of what became the platinum-selling solo album Faith, and Ridgeley gave him this advice: "If he were to stand any chance of finding happiness, he would have to fulfill his talent. He didn’t have a choice. The only thing for him to do next was claim his place as the greatest singer-songwriter of his generation."

After a period of separation during a difficult time for the young superstar, they have reconnected. Bieber has explained, "I was distant because I was ashamed. I never wanted my mom to be disappointed in me and I knew she was....She's an amazing woman and I love her." Mallette has posted on social media, "I'm so proud of the amazing young man you are, and the young man you are becoming. None of us are perfect and never will be...I admire your character and integrity. You are maturing beautifully and wise beyond your years."

Conan O'Brien (4/18/1963, Aries Rabbit), Sarah Silverman (12/1/1970, Sagittarius Dog) : This late show host and comedian have played an important role in their respective careers. Reflecting on when they first sat down for an on-air interview 28 years earlier when Silverman was just 22-years-old and starting out, Silverman told O'Brien, "I love your show so much. I do. I love it so much. I mean, the first time I ever was recognized on the street was from your show. Because you’d always have me on. I’ve been on your show for so many years. I grew up on your show. I honestly feel like my whole death reel could just be clips from your show [and] I’d be happy.” O’Brien jokingly responded, "I say aim higher."

Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner

Frank Sinatra (12/12/1915, Sagittarius Rabbit), Ava Gardner (12/24/1922, Capricorn Dog) : The legendary musican/actor and actor were married for 6 years but their relationship spanned decades, and they remained friends until Gardner's death in 1990. Sinatra reportedly always kept a photo of Gardner taped to his dressing room mirrors, and a friend of Gardner has claimed that the actress had told her "that she never loved another man as much as she loved Frank."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The semi-Sextile combination of firstwest and secondwest has a reputation for beginning slowly, but even if the early going proves a bit tough, there is great potential for collaboration and tenderness in the longer term. In this relationship, however, arguably the most fortunate element is the gift of the Soulmate connection between firsteast and secondeast. As long as these two have bandwidth in their lives to manage a true kindred spirit, the sky's the limit for these two in any context.
