Sagittarius and Libra

Compatibility overview

A sometimes untapped treasure of the Western zodiac, the combination of firstwest and secondwest can attract some beautifully relaxed, reliable energy. This is a connection that may seem too uncomplicated for a Hollywood-style romance or hero's quest. Yet at the end of the day, these two usually have each other's backs, come what may. The result can provide each sign with as much pleasure and devotion as any match under the stars.

Being two signs apart around the Western zodiac wheel, Libra and Sagittarius share a Sextile aspect. Right off the bat, this is a calming, mutually reassuring influence, typically as good-humored as it is dependable.

The good news begins with the highly compatible elements. Libra is a quintessential Air sign, typically an indefatigable intellectual with an insatiable appetite for ideas and possibilities. This knits delightfully with Sagittarius' Fire-infused personality, for Sagittarius is a dyed-in-the-wool philosopher, often at their most comfortable dealing with abstract ethical questions, or contemplating the natural world. Indeed, the metaphorical significance of these elements could hardly be more apt, as these signs tend to whip each other into excitement. Libra provides an atmosphere of oxygen-rich enthusiasm and encouragement, while Sagittarius offers burning intensity and dynamism. As friends, colleagues, or lovers, hours will often seem like seconds for a Libra and Sagittarius pairing, as they rise together in crescendoes of eagerness and insight.

The compatibility here is further enhanced by the respective modalities. Libra's Cardinal energy favors beginnings, inceptions, newness in all things. At the other end of the spectrum, Sagittarius is a Mutable sign, far-seeing, with a reflective aptitude for consequences and implications. Collaboration can thus be expected to flow easily, with each sign mostly able to play to their own strengths, while together their efforts coalesce into original and complete creations.

The downside of the Libra/Sagittarius combination really arises from the easygoing character of the relationship. The bond between these two is accessible, relaxed, and peaceful—but it does not necessarily compel or inspire the signs with driving force. Hence these two may find they instinctively prioritize other connections or opportunities rather than each other. Diversions are not likely to breed resentment, but they can mean that windows close which might otherwise have opened onto quite wonderful possibilities.

In the end, whether these two choose a lifelong commitment or just to share the occasional break from the world, chances are their time together will prove delightfully nourishing, secure, and enjoyable.

Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne

Sharon Osbourne (10/9/1952, Libra Dragon), Ozzy Osbourne (12/3/1948, Sagittarius Rat) : The legendary heavy metal musician Ozzy Osbourne (founding member of Black Sabbath) and media personality Sharon Osbourne have been married since 1982. They have three children. Their marriage has been famously turbulent—Ozzy has spoken openly about frequent drug and alcohol use, and was once charged with Sharon's attempted murder after a binge—which contributed to the great success of their reality TV show, The Osbournes (2002-2005). Celebrating their 35-year anniversary in 2017, Sharon wrote: "Thank you Ozzy for 35 crazy & wonderful years. Here's to the next chapter of our lives. Love you more today than yesterday. Always remember: You carry my heart in yours, and it's getting older and needs protecting. Happy Anniversary."

Bradley Whitford (10/10/1959, Libra Pig), Jane Kaczmarek (12/21/1955, Sagittarius Sheep) : The two actors were married for 16 years from 1992. They have three children. They remained amicable after their break-up, with Kaczmarek saying in 2010: "A very wise person said to me, 'Nowadays, you can make a divorce anything you want it to be.' It's absolutely devastating, but then you really have to just drop it and keep going. We were friends for a long time, he's a great father, and we have three terrific kids, so I've made up my mind to make this as good as possible for everybody. We really are like a family living in two different houses."

Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens

Zac Efron (10/18/1987, Libra Rabbit), Vanessa Hudgens (12/14/1988, Sagittarius Dragon) : The two actors both achieved widespread fame following their work together in the successful High School Musical film trilogy (2006-2008). They reportedly dated from 2005 to 2010. Though they have each confirmed they do not stay in regular contact, they have continued to reflect fondly about their relationship. In 2019, Hudgens said, "I could not have been more grateful to have that relationship at the time … It was this massive phenomenon and [all] eyes were on me. And it's just a really weird foreign thing to go through, and by being in a relationship, it kind of kept me stabilized and grounded, and I had someone to lean on who was going through it as well."

Chuck Berry (10/18/1926, Libra Tiger), Keith Richards (12/18/1943, Sagittarius Sheep) : The two musicians shared a complex bond. Richards long admired Berry, at one point saying, "[Berry] was the air I breathed for many years when I was learning guitar." Although Berry once famously punched Richards in the face for touching his guitar backstage, they later collaborated on Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll (1987), a documentary film about two concerts staged to celebrate Berry's 60th birthday. Richards described: "[Berry] was a little prickly, but at the same time, there was a very warm guy underneath that he wasn’t that willing to display. There were other times between us when we’re sitting around and rehearsing, and going, 'Man, you know, between us we got that s— down' – and there would be a beautiful, different feeling."

Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness

Hugh Jackman (10/12/1968, Libra Monkey), Deborra-Lee Furness (11/30/1955, Sagittarius Sheep) : The two actors were married from 1996 until 2023, and have two children. Jackman, who is 13 years younger than Furness, posted for their 25th wedding anniversary: "Being married to you, Deb, is as natural as breathing. From nearly the moment we met... I knew our destiny was to be together. In our 25 years, our love has only grown deeper—the fun, excitement, and adventure more exhilarating; the learning even greater. I’m forever grateful to share our love, our life—and, our family together. We’ve only just begun. Deb, I love you with all my heart!"

Bruce Springsteen and Steven Van Zandt

Bruce Springsteen (9/23/1949, Libra Ox), Steven Van Zandt (11/22/1950, Sagittarius Tiger) : The two musicians have been friends since the 1960s, and have collaborated for decades, after Van Zandt joined Springsteen's E Street Band in 1975. Van Zandt shares production credits for Springsteen's classic albums, The River (1980) and Born in the U.S.A (1984). Van Zandt described in 2020: "Our friendship is deeper than any [business or creative issues], and it’s forever. I decided that very early on. Remember, [Springsteen] was a very different person the first 10 years I knew him. He wasn’t the world’s greatest entertainer. He was like one of those grunge guys with long hair that just stares at his shoes. But I got extraordinary strength from finding one other person on the planet that felt the same way I did about rock & roll. You only need one so you don’t think you’re insane and you don’t think you’re a loser by not fitting into society. And I didn’t fit in and he didn’t fit in, and so we kind of had each other there in the beginning."

Sheep and Dog

Compatibility overview

Just like the elements in Western astrology, the four Trine Families of the Eastern zodiac are often grouped into two compatible pairs. The families of the Dog (with the Horse and Tiger) and Sheep (with the Pig and Rabbit) make up one of these naturally harmonious pairs. Thus, while the specific match of Dog and Sheep may not be singled out as often as it might be, the underlying energy is deeply supportive.

Early in the relationship, these two can expect to find much they agree about. The Dog, always a tireless champion of causes they believe in, admires the Sheep's creative idealism. The Sheep's love of beauty and aspirational outlook mean they appreciate the Dog's worthy devotion and commitment to hard work. As the relationship develops, there is scope for great emotional depth to develop between these two. Both of these signs are prone to considerable agitation, and for many Dog/Sheep matches, their respective anxieties mean that each can provide the other with invaluable warmth and reassurance.

Sometimes, of course, the sensitivities of these signs may cause trouble. The Dog is known for being blunt on occasion, which can be destabilising for the often thin-skinned Sheep. The Sheep tends to be quite unfiltered in expressing their stresses and need for calm, whereas the Dog prides themselves on appearing resilient. Hence the Dog may sometimes feel embarrassed or exposed by the Sheep's flighty displays. These challenges are often better worked around than dwelled on, and successful pairings between these signs are likely to have a strongly productive and collaborative focus. Make no mistake, however, the scope for mutual admiration and emotional connection between these two is profound indeed. The result can be a powerful bond for life.

Joni Mitchell and Charles Mingus

Joni Mitchell (11/7/1943, Scorpio Sheep), Charles Mingus (4/22/1922, Taurus Dog) : Singer/songwriter Mitchell and bassist/composer Mingus created a daring and unexpected collaboration with Mitchell's album, Mingus (1979), which was recorded during Mingus' final months before he died early in 1979. Mitchell wrote in the liner notes, "The first time I saw [Mingus'] face it shone up at me with a joyous mischief. I liked him immediately. I had come to New York to hear six new songs he had written for me. I was honored! I was curious! It was as if I had been standing by a river – one toe in the water – feeling it out – and Charlie came by and pushed me in – 'sink or Swim' – him laughing at me dog paddling around in the currents of black classical music. Time never ticked so loudly for me as it did this last year. I wanted Charlie to witness the project's completion. He heard every song but one...This was a difficult but challenging project. I was trying to please Charlie and still be true to myself. I cut each song three or four times. I was after something personal – something mutual – something indescribable."

Angus Young (3/31/1955, Aries Sheep), Bon Scott (7/9/1946, Cancer Dog) : Guitarist Young and singer Scott were the two most prominent members of the rock band, AC/DC, before Scott's tragic death in 1980. Young described in 2011: "[Scott was] [p]robably too friendly to a lot of people. He had no airs and graces about him, probably because he was a drummer at heart. When he got into music, that's what he wanted to do. In fact, when he joined the band, he said, 'I want to play drums.' ...[H]e was a good drummer. It showed in his character, because he saw himself as just another member of the band. He didn't have this lead singer attitude of, 'I have to be at the front, all the time. I'm the singer. I'm the star. I get the chicks.'...Sure[, we fed off each other's energy]. He could get you sometimes. Some of the things he did, I would simply say, 'Hey now, there's no way I'm doing that.' He was very gymnastic for some reason, perhaps because of the way he was built, and he could easily climb up a P.A. tower and jump off it -- and he’d usually try and drag me with him! He’d be going, 'Jump! Now!' My knees would be shaking and I’d say, 'You’ve got to give me a few seconds to get my nerve up, man.'"

Paul Thomas Anderson and Philip Seymour Hoffman

Philip Seymour Hoffman (7/23/1967, Leo Sheep), Paul Thomas Anderson (6/26/1970, Cancer Dog) : The actor and director collaborated on multiple occasions. Although Anderson has said he "knew what love at first sight was" after seeing Hoffman on screen in Scent of a Woman (1992), for many years he cast Hoffman in minor character roles—in Hard Eight (1996), Boogie Nights (1997), Magnolia (1999), and Punch-Drunk Love (2002)—before Hoffman's Oscar-nominated supporting performance in The Master (2012). Anderson has described: "Believe me, when I was a kid, you sort of draw out movie cameras and sets, at like 8 or 9 years old, and nowhere in it did I draw anything that looked like [Hoffman], you know. [Laughs] I thought like Cary Grant would be in my movie or Harrison Ford, but something happened when I saw him."

Blue Hamilton (11/27/1979, Sagittarius Sheep), Matt Dallas (10/21/1982, Libra Dog) : The actor and record producer have been married since 2015 and share two children together. They have become prominent advocates for the foster to adopt program in the US. Dallas has explained: "Early on in our relationship, we both were so career focused living here in Los Angeles. When we moved to Phoenix full time, we both realized we were missing a child in our family...[O]nce we learned that there is about 20,000 kids in Arizona’s foster system... once we started reading the stories of all these kids… learning how so many of them age out of the foster system, and so many of them go on to not even have families; it is really heart-breaking. We just knew that we were going to foster and adopt."

Iman and David Bowie

Iman (7/25/1955, Leo Sheep), David Bowie (1/8/1947, Capricorn Dog) : The model and legendary musician were married from 1992 until his death in 2016 and shared a daughter together. Speaking in 2021, Iman described: "I still feel married. Someone a few years ago referred to David as my late husband and I said 'No, he's not my late husband. He's my husband.' Through my memory, my love lives."

Rose Byrne (7/24/1979, Leo Sheep), Seth Rogen (4/15/1982, Aries Dog) : The two actors share a strong friendship, and have worked together multiple times, including the films Neighbors (2014) and Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (2016), and the series, Platonic (2023). Describing their collaboration on Platonic, Byrne said: "[The show] lives and dies on the friendship and the chemistry of the two people. And I knew that it had to be Seth [to play her longtime platonic friend in the show]. And it just was a question of whether he would or not, and convince him, but he was immediately on board, so it was wonderful...The dynamic is just intuitive. And we realized that day one, like, ‘Oh, yeah, all right. We can do these things, but we can't do these things.’ It was an opportunity to discover different ways [from the Neighbors films] to find the comedy."

Georg Stanford Brown (6/24/1943, Cancer Sheep), Tyne Daly (2/21/1946, Pisces Dog) : The two actors were married for 24 years, from 1966 to 1990. Asked about their "interracial" marriage in 1985, Daly was quoted as saying, "I gave up categories a long time ago. In fact, when we did [our daughter] Alyxandra's birth certificate, under 'race,' we put 'human'; under 'sex' we put 'yes'; and under ethnic origin we put 'citizen of the world.' I have a good and interesting marriage that has gone on for quite some time and he's an interesting fellow and we have some fascinating young children."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

As a Sextile combination, firstwest and secondwest typically share an effortless, joy-filled dynamic, with the only real problem the possibility that they might not take it as seriously as other matches in their lives. For this pair, there is a similarly stress-free combination on the Chinese zodiac side as well, for the firsteast and secondeast share a natural affinity that is highly compatible, even if at times it seems more akin to friendly repartee than star-crossed-lover intensity. Overall, this is a beautiful foundation for any relationship, one with perhaps even greater potential than might appear.
