The six Opposition matches in the Western zodiac, where signs face each other directly across the zodiac wheel, are a truly unique phenomenon. Put simply, they are as combative as they are a blessing. As one of these special connections, Gemini and Sagittarius are apt to discover fast that they share little middle ground. The great traveller Gemini is at heart a collector of ideas, an inquisitive soul with a tendency to allow their eye to follow whatever concepts shine brightest in the present moment. Sagittarius, on the other hand, is deeply philosophical, concerned from their first breath with the most demanding, big-picture challenges they can find.

Conversation is thus likely to be vigorous and contested from the start. Gemini's tendency to tire of subjects and move on quickly will exasperate Sagittarius. Sagittarius' sustained, intense reflections will at times seem exhausting, even boring, to Gemini. The importance Gemini attaches to social interaction and discussion may be dismissed by Sagittarius as superficial, and little disturbs Gemini more than to be slighted or ignored. Neither of these signs has a reputation for being tactful when upset, either, so things could get pretty nasty. Much of this tension is due to these signs' shared Mutable energy, which is reflective and restless for new challenges. Disagreements lack a balancing influence to help them resolve and can seem interminable.

So, with all this discordant energy swirling around them, why is the Gemini/Sagittarius match so esteemed by Western astrologers? Well for one thing, when these two do see eye to eye, almost nothing can match the power of their shared conviction. Imagine a pair of voices transforming into a harmony far richer and clearer than either voice is alone. The elements here—Air for Gemini, Fire for Sagittarius—are highly complementary. In this combination, the signs' respective weaknesses are directly redressed. Gemini learns to apply their abundant skills with greater discipline and precision. Sagittarius becomes less insular and better equipped to share their prodigious insights with the world. Even the disagreements between these two can prove over time to be empowering and illuminating. As strange as it may seem at times, in the final analysis this is one of the most promising and dependable connections in the whole Western zodiac.

Lenny Kravitz described the closeness between them in 2020: "My mother and my grandfather had a very close relationship—to the point where, as a teenager, I thought it was ridiculous...So when I see the relationship between Zoë and myself, I see the relationship between my mother and my grandfather. It makes me very happy that we've elevated to that level."

They collaborated on Furtado's multi-platinum album Loose (2006). Furtado described collaborating with Castellon in 2014: "It’s a healthy tension working together. It doesn’t always go smoothly, of course, and it can be really challenging when there are differences of opinion, which of course happens. But good things always tend to come out of it, and that’s the whole point."

Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson

Chris Evans (6/13/1981, Gemini Rooster), Scarlett Johansson (11/22/1984, Sagittarius Rat) : The two actors are close friends who have collaborated multiple times. Johansson has described: "I’ve been very close with Chris for such a long time. With the first time we worked together, we did a movie called The Perfect Score when I was 17. Chris I think was 18 or 19. And we were in Vancouver for, you know, whatever many months. And it felt like the closest thing I ever had to like a college experience because, you know, we were a group of us there, uh, just kind of staying in the same hotel and working and going out and, you know, it was, it was a lot of fun. I then had the opportunity to work with Chris again on The Nanny Diaries. And, I, you know, I think just Chris and I, we just laugh so much together. We… find a lot of humor in things that are ironic. And I, you know, we, we just, we just have a great friendship."

Gene Wilder (6/11/1933, Gemini Rooster), Richard Pryor (12/1/1940, Sagittarius Dragon) : The two actors appeared together four times, in the films Silver Streak (1976), Stir Crazy (1980), See No Evil, Hear No Evil (1989), and Another You (1991). Their on-screen chemistry and improvisation have become legendary. Wilder's memoir, Kiss Me Like Stranger (2005) described: "[Words kept coming out of my mouth in response to things that Richard was saying—things that weren’t in the script. Of course, Richard was used to working this way from all the jobs he had done in clubs and concerts. I don’t say that Richard’s way is without any thought—but his method always has an emotional, rather than intellectual base. In this regard, Richard was my teacher: no thinking—just immediate, instinctive response."

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie (6/4/1975, Gemini Rabbit), Brad Pitt (12/18/1963, Sagittarius Rabbit) : The two world-famous actors were together from 2005 to 2019 and shared six children (three by adoption). Although more recently Pitt and Jolie have been resolving financial and custody issues in the public eye, as "Brangelina" they were one of the highest-profile couples in the world. In 2007, Jolie described the early stages of their relationship by saying: "We spent a lot of time contemplating and thinking and talking about what we both wanted in life and realized that we wanted very, very similar things. And then we just continued to take time. We remained very, very good friends—with this realization—for a long time. And then life developed in a way where we could be together, where it felt like something we would do, we should do."

Paul Bettany (5/27/1971, Gemini Pig), Jennifer Connelly (12/12/1970, Sagittarius Dog) : The two actors met while working on the film A Beautiful Mind in 2001. They married in 2003 and have two children together, as well as Connelly's son from a previous marriage. Bettany has described: "Marriage and children changed my life. It really altered who I was and what I saw as my goals. [The moments I cherish most are] when I catch myself and realize the five of us are laughing together. And there is nobody on earth with whom I could be having a better time."

The Rabbit and Snake may encounter both powerful affinities and tensions in this energy match.

At the heart of the Chinese zodiac is the concept of the four Trine Families, which naturally divide into two streams. The families of the Rabbit (with the Pig and Sheep) and the Snake (with the Ox and Rooster) belong to different streams, which contributes an underlying instability to their connection. However, while there are some seriously challenging matches between their families (e.g., the Rabbit and Rooster, or the Snake and Pig), the Rabbit and Snake manage to avoid the most disturbing aspects of this surrounding energy.

These two signs share some powerful affinities. The Rabbit is instinctively an artist, highly sensitive and attuned to the emotional realm, and these traits resonate profoundly with the deep-thinking, philosophically-minded Snake. The Snake exudes sensuality and usually possesses an other-worldly attractiveness that can be powerfully captivating for the imaginative, impressionable Rabbit. Indeed, it is perhaps the mutual appreciation of beauty that binds these signs together most strongly, and they often feel deeply protective towards each other, as if the preciousness of the other sign is something that should be carefully guarded and shielded from harm.

Tensions are likely to surface around issues of freedom and resources. The Rabbit usually seeks to avoid drama at all costs, while the Snake can be terribly vulnerable to jealousy, so these two are at risk of a vicious circle where the Snake's possessiveness moves the Rabbit to wander, which makes the Snake yet more possessive. One of the Snake's great strengths is their pragmatism and skill in shaping social dynamics, which the more innocent-minded Rabbit may interpret as manipulative or untrustworthy. These pressures on the relationship may be quite emotionally fraught, given the soulful nature of these signs' initial connection. It may take some time for them to reconcile themselves to the kind of independent and respectful distance that in fact enables their relationship to function best.

With that said, the Rabbit and Snake will rarely, if ever, lose the sense of aesthetic admiration that unites them, and there are strong prospects for an enduring and stirring relationship long into the future.

Bridget Fonda and Danny Elfman

Kendrick Lamar (6/17/1987, Gemini Rabbit), Dr. Dre (2/18/1965, Aquarius Snake) : The rapper/producer and rapper have shared a mentoring friendship, including working together on Dre's as-yet-unreleased album, Detox. Lamar described in 2011: "Dre and I have a personal relationship. In the first studio session, we clicked so crazy. It was more like a uncle-nephew kind of vibe. Because everybody sees Dre as just a gangsta rapper, but he shares the same story that I have, a good kid in a mad city. When we sit in the studio, we talk about these different streets that we both lived on and experiences he had that I can relate to being two generations younger. I think that’s why people attach it so strongly because of the chemistry that we have outside the studio....Being under him and watching the passion, the same type of feel he has since the first early days of N.W.A., it’s crazy. It makes me go harder."

Blake Lively and Taylor Swift

Blake Lively (8/25/1987, Virgo Rabbit), Taylor Swift (12/13/1989, Sagittarius Snake) : The music superstar and actor/director made friends in 2015.

Michael Jordan (2/17/1963, Aquarius Rabbit), Scottie Pippen (9/25/1965, Leo Snake) : The two celebrated basketballers formed one of the most successful pairings in NBA history, leading the Chicago Bulls to "three-peat" championships between 1990-1993 and 1995-1998. Pippen has described the closeness of their relationship at that time, saying: "[Jordan and I] grew up together and we defended each other. That respect we had on the court, that competitiveness we took through to the top – it was special. That was the respect we had for each other, because we had to be on the court to do what we did. We had to be dominant." Following the Jordan-led documentary, The Last Dance (2020), Pippen has expressed frustration on multiple occasions. In 2020, he said: "I don’t think [The Last Dance] was that accurate in terms of really defining what was accomplished in one of the greatest eras of basketball, but also by two of the greatest players...I thought it was more about Michael trying to uplift himself and to be glorified. I think it also backfired to some degree in that people got a chance to see what kind of personality Michael had."

Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra

Frank Sinatra (12/12/1915, Sagittarius Rabbit), Dean Martin (6/7/1917, Gemini Snake) : The two legendary singer/actors were friends who formed part of the so-called "Rat Pack" in the 1960s.

Sinatra was reportedly "too overwrought" to attend Martin's funeral in 1995, but he released a statement saying, "Dean was my brother — not through blood but through choice. Good times and bad, we were there together."
