Compatibility
Sagittarius Rabbit and Pisces Snake

The famously combative firstwest and secondwest combination is capable of yielding profound benefits, even if the often caring and respectful match between the firsteast and secondeast is at times hesitant to provide complete support.

Sagittarius and Pisces

Compatibility overview

This match is at once explosive and enriching. As a Square connection, which occurs when Western signs are three steps apart on the zodiac wheel, the relationship between firstwest and secondwest attracts remarkably intense energy. Chances are, this influence will involve some important challenges, but it can also prove enormously beneficial.

Beware the Square! Though somewhat tongue-in-cheek, the idea that a warning may be necessary for the combination of Pisces and Sagittarius is not completely out of place. For there is no shortage of head-to-head confrontation in this supercharged pairing.

Classical approaches to astrology identify some serious headwinds here. The respective elements—the Fire of Sagittarius, the Water of Pisces—are generally regarded as one of the least compatible mixtures. Both signs share the somewhat elusive Mutable modality, so there is none of the balancing influence that Cardinal and Fixed signs offer these two in other combinations. Pisces, being typically dreamy, gentle, and polite, are likely to struggle with Sagittarius' sometimes brusque, even disdainful, manner of delivery. Sagittarius can be exceptionally driven, and may at times disapprove of Pisces as flaky, overly meek, or prone to wasting their time. However, while Pisces can seem idealistic to the point of fragility, they are usually loath to compromise on their commitment to beauty and propriety. Some of Sagittarius' requirements may thus seem to be more trouble than they're worth.

As surprising as it may seem, however, given all these tensions, there is also much to be gained here. Sagittarius has been called the most philosophical of the Western signs, and there is a powerful synergy between their instinctive and all-encompassing command of ethics and Pisces' innate sense of oneness with the universe. As ever, opposite personalities can share intense attraction, and while these two may challenge and confuse each other, they may equally share a kind of mystified admiration. Perhaps most importantly, there is a quality of "partner stand ups" to this relationship. By forcing each other to confront what is most important in their lives, their respective identities can rise together, building mutual and independent strength.

It's not an easy road for these two, by any means, but it may ultimately prove a long and rewarding one.

Frank Sinatra and Quincy Jones

Frank Sinatra (12/12/1915, Sagittarius Rabbit), Quincy Jones (3/14/1933, Pisces Rooster) : The legendary singer and the composer/arranger/producer were friends who collaborated on several occasions, including on the albums, It Might as Well Be Swing (1964), Sinatra at the Sands (1966), and L.A. Is My Lady (1984). In his autobiography, Q: The Autobiography of Quincy Jones (2001), Jones described: "Frank was my style. He was hip, straight up and straight ahead, and, above all, a monster musician. I loved him, man, I admit it, I loved him as much as anyone else I ever worked with, because there was no gray to the man. It was either black or white: If he loved you, there was nothing in the world he wouldn’t do for you. If he didn’t like you, shame on your ass…Frank led me into a new world. A land of dreams, high living—anything you felt like doin’, whatever, with whomever, whenever you felt like doin’ it—and making the music we both loved."

Milla Jovovich (12/17/1975, Sagittarius Rabbit), Luc Besson (3/18/1959, Pisces Pig) : The actor and director were married from 1997 to 1999, and famously collaborated on the films, The Fifth Element (1997), and The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (1999). Jovovich has described: "Luc had cast me as the perfect woman [in The Fifth Element]. That felt wonderful in itself, but then when I saw how he had filmed me in the movie, I knew he loved me as much as I loved him...The movie [Joan of Arc] did not break us up. Luc and my personal life never got entangled in our professional life. If we could make movies 365 days a year, we would still be together. Luc and I have this unique creative connection. We did get married. But we're not together anymore in that sort of particular context. We're best friends, apart from being together or not. He loves me, I love him."

Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber

Hailey Bieber (11/22/1996, Sagittarius Rat), Justin Bieber (3/1/1994, Pisces Dog) : The musician and model/media personality first dated in 2016, and after a hiatus reconciled and married during 2018/2019. In 2019, Justin Bieber explained: "Fighting is good. Doesn't the Bible talk about righteous anger? We don't want to lose each other. We don't want to say the wrong thing, and so we've been struggling with not expressing our emotions, which has been driving me absolutely crazy because I just need to express myself, and it's been really difficult to get her to say what she feels."

Paula Patton (12/5/1975, Sagittarius Rabbit), Robin Thicke (3/10/1977, Pisces Snake) : The actor and singer were married between 2005 and 2015, and have a son together. Thicke has described how their relationship has established an equilibrium after an at times acrimonious divorce: "There's so much emotion when you first break up, and there's so much stuff that spills over...But time heals those wounds, and she's an incredible person. Once you can put yourself second, your son rises to the top and you go, 'It's not about us anymore.' We're very lucky the way everything has worked out."

William H. Macy and Felicity Huffman

Felicity Huffman (12/9/1962, Sagittarius Tiger), William H. Macy (3/13/1950, Pisces Tiger) : The two actors married in 1997, after 15 years of dating on-and-off. They have two children. Describing her decision to marry, Huffman said: "I was finally smart enough to go, 'I'm going to marry this guy or really lose him for good.' … I knew I couldn’t say no. It was the work I had to do in order to bring myself to the marriage and then the work that I did to be able to trust another person and see what comes out of that comfort and that safety. I was able to blossom out of that."

Ray Romano (12/21/1957, Sagittarius Rooster), Anna Romano (2/24/1963, Pisces Rabbit) : The successful comedian and actor/cinematographer met while working together as bank tellers and married in 1987—before Ray Romano committed full-time to comedy in 1990. They have four children together. Speaking humorously about their marriage, Ray said in 1997, "I talk a lot about being married and being tired and not having sex. She’s fine with it. Whenever she has a problem, I tell her to go cry on a bag of money."

Ozuna and Anuel AA

Anuel AA (11/26/1992, Sagittarius Monkey), Ozuna (3/13/1992, Pisces Monkey) : The two singer/rappers have collaborated multiple times, including the chart-topping songs, "China" (2019), "Baila Baila Baila Remix" (2019), and "Adicto" (2019), and the album, Los Dioses (2021). In a joint interview, Ozuna said: "Someone has to sing about the pretty things in life, but someone has to sing about the ugly things, too — what you live when you come from where we came from." Anuel AA explained: "I did music for the street, and Ozuna was commercial. But because we started working together so much, we evolved. Ozuna began to make music for the street, and the street responded. And I started to do more commercial music, and the people in that world responded. We’ve had ups and downs, but we’ve never turned our backs on each other."

Rabbit and Snake

Compatibility overview

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.

At the 2022 American Music Awards, Swift said in a speech accepting her "Favorite Pop Album" award: "I want to take a moment to thank someone who directed the music video 'I Bet You Think About Me,' my beautiful, brilliant friend, my director Blake Lively."

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. They toured together frequently and co-starred in films including Ocean’s 11 (1960) and Robin and the 7 Hoods (1964). 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."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

firstwest and secondwest share a Square aspect that represents some of the most challenging energy in the Western zodiac—yet even as they struggle to reach agreement together, they can reap far-reaching benefits in terms of individual priorities, growth and direction. Complicating matters here is the combination of the firsteast and secondeast, who may admire and care deeply for one another, but who can also feel instinctively somewhat nervous or distant when together for extended periods. Ultimately, the best aspects of this relationship have terrific potential, and with requisite independence and clear communication, these two may achieve lasting personal growth and solidarity.
