Although Western and Chinese astrology are fundamentally different, a key synergy between them is the pre-eminence of Trine combinations—signs that are four steps apart. In the Western zodiac, one such celebrated Trine match is the pairing of Leo and Sagittarius.

These signs share the element of Fire, the most intense, dynamic, and passionate of the elements. Leo's honor, ambition, and relentless pursuit of justice will appeal from the outset to Sagittarius' far-seeing, philosophical outlook. Sagittarius' commitment to idealism and harmony with the natural world will similarly inspire and resonate with Leo, who prides themselves on their integrity and love of beauty. In other company, these signs can both be somewhat overwhelming, such is the force of their personalities and the unapologetic strength of their convictions. How gloriously inspiring it can be, then, for them to discover in each other a like-minded compulsion to strive for the highest standards of endeavour, above all else.

Mutual enthusiasm, exhilaration, and admiration are all indicated early in this relationship. Over time, Leo and Sagittarius may find that their potential for collaboration and emotional support expand exponentially. Leo's Fixed modality, with its emphasis on productivity and achievement, forms a perfect transition into the reflective, Mutable energy of Sagittarius. Relations between these two thus conform to a natural cycle of realization to contemplation. Shared projects are likely to be completed fully and successfully, and then to serve as a platform for further stirring opportunities. Potential problems for these signs—vanity or disdainfulness for Leo, belligerence or overcommitment for Sagittarius—can usually be corrected by the generosity and encouragement of their shared connection.

There is no such thing as perfection in human relationships, of course, and challenging energy on the Chinese side could always throw a spanner into the works. However, irrespective of context, this is a justifiably prized connection, as promising as any in the Western zodiac.

Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult

Jennifer Lawrence (8/15/1990, Leo Horse), Nicholas Hoult (12/7/1989, Sagittarius Snake) : The two actors became a high-profile couple after they started dating while co-starring in X-Men: First Class in 2010. They broke up around 2014. Lawrence was quoted in 2012: "[My boyfriend] is honestly my best friend, and hopefully I’m his best friend too. He’s my favorite person to be around and makes me laugh harder than anybody … We can eat Cheetos and watch beach volleyball and we turn into two perverted Homer Simpsons, like, 'Oh, she’s got a nice ass.' I never thought we’d have such different opinions on asses."

Iola Brubeck (8/14/1923, Leo Pig), Dave Brubeck (12/6/1920, Sagittarius Monkey) : The jazz pioneer and lyricist were married from 1942 until Dave Brubeck's death in 2012. They had six children. They collaborated multiple times, notably on the musical, The Real Ambassadors. Iola Brubeck has also been credited with developing a strategy to publicize and perform Dave's music to young college audiences during the 1950s, which proved transformatively successful. Iola once described the time before Dave achieved widespread recognition: "We learned to improvise in living; whatever place we could find to stay we stayed. We couldn’t afford the best so we learned how to use camping equipment inside a city hotel. We had sleeping bags and air mattresses...[F]ortunately, I think my background and Dave’s ranch background gave us sort of that, I don’t know, pioneer fortitude, I guess to [say,] okay, these are the circumstances, accept it and make the most of it. Make it work, it will work."

Jamie Lee Curtis and Michelle Yeoh

Michelle Yeoh (8/6/1962, Leo Tiger), Jamie Lee Curtis (11/22/1958, Sagittarius Dog) : The two actors starred together memorably in Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022). Curtis' celebratory reaction made headlines around the world after Yeoh won a Golden Globe for her performance. When Curtis herself won a Screen Actors Guild Award for her role in the film, their relationship was again in the news after a celebratory kiss. Curtis said: "I kissed [Yeoh]?, Did I really kiss her? I love Michelle Yeoh. We love each other. We fell in love with each other. She's married. I met her husband in England, he's lovely. I also have a husband."

Bridgid Coulter (8/2/1968, Leo Monkey), Don Cheadle (11/29/1964, Sagittarius Dragon) : The two actors had been together for 28 years before marrying in 2020. They have two daughters. Somewhat tongue-in-cheek, Cheadle described in 2021: "[Marriage] came up a lot of time[s]. But every time, we were like, 'But we're already together?' [The accountant said], 'Yeah, but this is a better reason to be together.' Really, it's because our accountant proposed to us, I wish there were some big sweet romantic story, but the romance happened, you know, the first year."

Kathryn Bigelow and James Cameron

James Cameron (8/16/1954, Leo Horse), Kathryn Bigelow (11/27/1951, Sagittarius Rabbit) : The two film directors were married from 1989-1991. At the 2010 Oscars, they were famously in competition for the Best Director award—Bigelow for The Hurt Locker (2008), and Cameron for Avatar (2009). It was reportedly Cameron who recommended Bigelow direct The Hurt Locker. A decade later, Cameron said about Bigelow's win: "[F]or me to begrudge not only someone that I’ve loved and believed in winning the best director, but also the first woman... f—, man. Stand back. Let her have her night. We talked about it endlessly before and after. They wanted us to be co-presenters, but we looked at one another and said, 'We’re not going to play that game.' If I was sitting here now, however many years later, looking at an Oscar that could have been hers, I would be feeling like s—. I was very happy at how it worked out."

Christine Taylor (7/30/1971, Leo Pig), Ben Stiller (11/30/1965, Sagittarius Snake) : The two actors married in 2000 and have two children together. After separating in 2017, they reconciled during lockdown in 2020. Stiller described about their reconciliation: "I think we have a respect for the ways that we're similar and the ways we're different. And I think accepting that, you can really appreciate someone more because you're not trying to get them to change for you."

Sam Champion and Rubem Robierb

Sam Champion (8/13/1961, Leo Ox), Rubem Robierb (12/1/1976, Sagittarius Dragon) : The weather anchor and artist had been together for several years before they married in 2012. Robierb has described: "Sam and I connected on every level early on. We have always connected on important social issues. As we have grown more as a couple, we enjoy tackling them together and being around like minds."

Whitney Houston (8/9/1963, Leo Rabbit), Robyn Crawford (12/17/1960, Sagittarius Rat) : The two friends were inseparable for much of the legendary singer Houston's life. Crawford described in her memoir, A Song for You: "We never talked labels, like lesbian and gay. We just lived our lives, and I hoped it could go on that way for ever."

Simply a wonderful match!

The central concept underlying Chinese astrology is that of the four Trine Families. One of these families consists of the Rooster and Snake (along with their most trusted friend, the Ox). Binding these signs together is a spirit of social affairs and commerce—an intuition for reading the tea leaves when it comes to any kind of enterprise or business, and a determination to follow through once opportunities are identified. The Rooster and Snake are likely to catch each other's attention at once.

These are two of the most visually engaging signs in the Chinese zodiac, the Rooster with their fashionista's panache, the Snake with their beguiling, mystical allure. But as soon as they get to talking, they are likely to discover an affinity that goes way deeper than appearances. The Rooster's incomparable flair for understanding social dynamics knits beautifully with the Snake's sixth sense for the philosophical side of human affairs. In no time, these two are likely to be sharing and enhancing each other's insightful commentaries about the state of things, in an atmosphere filled with admiration and enjoyment. Arising out of such interactions, there is a strong prospect of clear and productive direction.

Separately, these two can get overly caught up in themselves—both are prone to conceitedness, after all, and the Rooster's tendency towards self-involvement is matched by the Snake's weakness for somewhat miserly self-indulgence. Together, however, not only will these two usually be able to brush off each other's occasionally difficult traits, but they are likely to powerfully motivate one another to translate their talents into actualization and achievement. Not for nothing is the Rooster celebrated for their extraordinary capacities and resourcefulness, and the Snake too can draw on exceptional powers of commitment and concentration when they free themselves from distraction.

Don't be surprised if these two have each other's backs through thick and thin, nor if their relationship proves an enduring source of brilliant accomplishments and intense enjoyment.

Benjamin Millepied (6/10/1977, Gemini Snake), Natalie Portman (6/9/1981, Gemini Rooster) : The actor and dancer met on the set of the film, Black Swan (2010), for which Portman received an Academy Award. They have been married since 2012 and have two children together. Portman has described: "I met my husband on [the set of Black Swan], so I think I was in, like, dreamland … We had a whole, like, he was teaching me to dance. You know, one of those romantic [stories] … It was definitely exciting and fun. It was beautiful. I don't know about instant. It was like I really got to know him and that was when it seemed like, 'Oh this is the person.'"

Elizabeth Hurley (6/10/1965, Gemini Snake), Shane Warne (9/13/1969, Virgo Rooster) : The actor and cricketer were together in the early 2010s and announced a short-lived engagement in 2011. Warne described later: "I was more in love with Elizabeth than I’d realised I could be. I miss the love we had. My years with Elizabeth were the happiest of my life. I wanted to be better with her."

Jakob Dylan and Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan (5/24/1941, Gemini Snake), Jakob Dylan (12/9/1969, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two musicians are father and son. Wanting to protect the privacy of his legendary father, who in 2016 was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for his songwriting, Jakob Dylan said little about their relationship until 2005. Then, Jakob described: "When I was a kid, he was a god to me for all the right reasons. Other people have put that tag on him in some otherworldly sense. I say it as any kid who admired his dad and had a great relationship with him. He never missed a single Little League game I had. He's collected every home-run ball I ever hit. And he's still affectionate to me. Maybe he doesn't want people to know that. But I'll tell you, because it's my interview."

Kevin James (4/26/1965, Taurus Snake), Ray Romano (12/21/1957, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two comedian/actors lived together before they each achieved success, and later continued to guest-star on each other's long-running TV shows, Everybody Loves Raymond (1996-2005), and The King of Queens (1998-2007). In a joint interview, Romano said: "We bonded over getting turned down for every audition we went on." James added: "We tried to play a lot of golf, because we didn't have a lot of work."

Jay-Z and Kanye West

Kanye West (6/8/1977, Gemini Snake), Jay-Z (12/4/1969, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two rappers are longtime friends who have collaborated on multiple occasions, including the tracks "Otis", "Never Let Me Down", "Izzo (H.O.V.A)", "Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Remix)", "Run This Town", "’03 Bonnie & Clyde", "Clique", "Heart of the City (Ain't No Love)", and "Encore". Although the two have faced challenges in their relationship, Jay-Z described: "That’s my brother, we’re beyond friends. Really, like literally, my little brother is Kanye. And like your little brother, things happen sometimes...It’s like that. That’s still your sibling forever. I’ve watched Kanye from without an album. The thing that I respect about him is that he’s the same person. Like, he interrupted our studio session, stood on a table and started rapping. And we were like, ‘Could you please get down,’ and he was like ‘No, I’m the savior of Chicago!’ He didn’t have a record."

Dr. Dre (2/18/1965, Aquarius Snake), Ice Cube (6/15/1969, Gemini Rooster) : The two founding members of the rap group, NWA, formed a close collaboration and friendship in the 1980s. After a period of disputation after NWA broke up, in 2016 they appeared together on stage for the first time in 27 years. Cube described: "We just went forward. We're gonna always be like that. I don't care if we don't talk to each other for 10 years, when we see each other, it's gonna be like yesterday."

Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres

Oprah Winfrey (1/29/1954, Aquarius Snake), Ellen DeGeneres (1/26/1958, Aquarius Rooster) : The two talk show hosts are close friends, who are also neighbours in Montecito, California. In a 2021 interview, Winfrey told Degeneres: "[Y]ou have shared yourself, the expression of your talent, in a way that has made people feel so much better about themselves all these years, that is what you’ve done, Ellen. It’s so much more than the show...Every single person in your audience who has been touched by you, by your laughter, by your jokes, by your kindness, by your sharing, by your being, that’s your legacy." Degeneres replied: "I love you so much, Oprah. I am, as I say all the time, I am so honored to call you a friend. You are the wisest person I know and I just adore you."
