Compatibility
Sagittarius Snake and Pisces Sheep

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."

Snake and Sheep

Compatibility overview

Compatibility in the Chinese zodiac is often defined in fairly black and white terms. The firsteast and secondeast, however, fall more into the gray area in between. The underlying energy here can be complicated, and there are certainly some challenges that may impede heart-to-heart closeness. Nevertheless, the synergies between these signs can foster genuine admiration and tenderness, which in the right circumstances can produce all manner of highly successful outcomes.

Harmony in the Chinese zodiac depends on the four Trine Families, which divide naturally into two compatible streams. The families of the Sheep (with the Pig and Rabbit) and Snake (with the Ox and Rooster) belong in different streams. This does give rise to a lurking tension, and some matches between these families (e.g., the Sheep and Ox, or the Rabbit and Rooster) can be seriously problematic.

Happily, the Sheep and Snake avoid the most worrying aspects of the surrounding atmosphere. When relaxed, the Sheep is the very essence of charm, as well as a highly conceptual and creative thinker. They will often be intrigued and aroused by the Snake, famously the most instinctively philosophical and sensual of all the Chinese signs. The Snake, meanwhile, loves to adore and be adored, so the delightful attentions of the Sheep may prove powerfully intoxicating. There can be a strongly sexual connection here, at least early on, but even in platonic settings, mutual admiration and a shared fascination with abstract realms can prove a heady mixture for this contemplative pair. These two signs can also comfort each other in important ways. The Snake's worldliness and strategic wisdom can be profoundly reassuring for the Sheep, who is notoriously edgy and fractious. The sensitive Sheep frequently knows just how to soothe the sometimes jealous or wounded disposition of the Snake.

The underlying tensions of this connection may surface around shared resources, fidelity, or creative vision. The Snake is blessed with rare commercial prudence and savoir faire, but this can sometimes look like miserliness to less financially restrained signs. Economic caution is often anathema to the Sheep, who places a much higher premium on sparkling extravagances, and bestowing lavish gifts on loved ones. Conflict in this area is more or less inevitable for this pair. Also, while the Sheep may be impressed by the more mercenary instincts of the Snake when it comes to outside endeavors, at heart the Sheep is much less tolerant of anything resembling manipulation. In shared projects, the Sheep may find the Snake unpleasantly pragmatic, while the Snake may feel the Sheep is naive or exposes them to uncomfortable risks. The sensuality of these signs may be a blessing when they are together, but as far as other signs are concerned, it can make the Sheep desperately uneasy, and the Snake cripplingly jealous.

On balance, this is a relationship that can function well at a measured distance, so the signs can enjoy their significant affinities without the tensions between them becoming too claustrophobic. That said, the abstract and sensual connections here can be truly delightful, and the result may provide lasting tenderness, warmth, and support.

Maria Shriver and Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey (1/29/1954, Aquarius Snake), Maria Shriver (11/6/1955, Scorpio Sheep) : The iconic media personality Winfrey and journalist/author Shriver share a close friendship that has lasted over 40 years. In a joint interview in 2021, Winfrey described: "I cherish everything about [Shriver]. I cherish her frankness, I cherish her directness. I cherish her honesty. I cherish her truth. I cherish her sense of searching for the truth. I cherish her courage. Oh my God, Maria's gonna tell you the truth no matter damn what. Maria give it to you in your face and then say, 'And you know what I'm talking about! You already know what I'm saying is true.'" Shriver said, "[It's] the little moments...that's what I cherish [in our] friendship...There's so few people you can really talk to honestly, and that you feel safe [with], and when I walk out the door, I know nothing's going anywhere...In my darkest moments, [Winfrey] was right there, sitting right next to me, holding space."

Robert Downey Jr. (4/4/1965, Aries Snake), Mel Gibson (1/3/1956, Capricorn Sheep) : The two actors share a close and supportive bond. After Gibson attracted controversy on numerous fronts, Downey famously said at the 2011 American Cinematheque Award: "When I couldn’t get sober, [Gibson] told me not to give up hope...I couldn’t get hired, so he cast me in the lead of a movie that was actually developed for him and he kept a roof over my head, and he kept food on the table. And most importantly, he said that if I accepted responsibility for my wrongdoings...I would become a man of some humility and that my life would take on new meaning, and I did, and it worked. All he asked in return, was that, someday I helped the next guy in some small way. It is reasonable to assume that he didn’t think the next guy would be him, or that someday was tonight."

Joe Alwyn and Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift (12/13/1989, Sagittarius Snake), Joe Alwyn (2/21/1991, Pisces Sheep) : The superstar singer/songwriter Swift and actor Alwyn shared a private romantic relationship from 2016 to 2023. Referencing his Grammy for contributions to Swift's album, Folklore (2020), which won Album of the Year in 2021, Alwyn described: "It wasn’t like, ‘It’s five o’clock, it’s time to try and write a song together.’ It came about from messing around on a piano, and singing badly, then being overheard, and being, like, ‘Let’s see what happens if we get to the end of it together.’ I mean fun is such a stupid word, but it was a lot of fun. And it was never a work thing, or a ‘Let’s try and do this because we’re going to put this out’ thing. It was just like baking sourdough in lockdown. The Grammy was obviously this ridiculous bonus."

Jessica Chastain (3/24/1977, Aries Snake), Oscar Isaac (3/9/1979, Pisces Sheep) : The two actors share a friendship extending over twenty years. Describing their collaboration in the series, Scenes from a Marriage (2021), Chastain described: "The blessing is that, at the end, we were feeling each other’s thoughts. There was no wall between us. We joke he’s my work husband. I could tell immediately if someone said something and it bothered him. At the beginning, we read episode four and I got emotional from reading it...He could see I was in a tough place where nobody else in the room could tell. That’s the curse part. Because I was like, Okay, I’m about to go on this journey with this scene partner who I can’t hide anything from. He’s like a microscope with me. It makes the work better but more terrifying because sometimes you want some space. You’re like, I don’t want you to be able to read my thoughts every moment."

Christopher Plummer and Elaine Taylor

Christopher Plummer (12/13/1929, Sagittarius Snake), Elaine Taylor (10/17/1943, Libra Sheep) : The two actors were married for 53 years until Plummer's death in 2021. Plummer described in 2008: "Elaine had now completed her role in the movie and was on her way back to London for yet another engagement — a busy and popular lady. I felt absolutely empty and as despondent as anyone could be. As she was leaving, I told her I was going to miss her dreadfully and hoped she would let me see her in London. ‘All right, but on one condition,’ she warned, ‘that you cut down on the booze.'"

Muhammad Ali (1/17/1942, Capricorn Snake), Joe Frazier (1/12/1944, Capricorn Sheep) : The two heavyweight boxing champions shared a complex supportive and challenging relationship for over 40 years. When Ali lost his world championship title and boxing licence for refusing to be drafted to Vietnam in 1970, Frazier provided financial and political support. Frazier described about that time, "We were friends, we were great friends...[Ali] was a brother." However, after Ali used racially-charged language to promote their famous fight, the "Thrilla in Manila", in 1975, Frazier refused to accept Ali's apologies and spoke cruelly about Ali's experiences with Parkinson's disease. Shortly before Frazier died in 2011, they reportedly reconciled, with Frazier saying, "It's just sad [about Ali's Parkinson's] because he's a great guy and I'm hoping that maybe he could live the kind of live that we live. I'd love to see him do that. Because he earned that."

Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre (6/21/1905, Cancer Snake), Simone de Beauvoir (1/9/1908, Capricorn Sheep) : The two French philosophers shared a lifelong relationship and romantic commitment, as well as profoundly influencing each other's ideas. They reportedly never lived together, and had an "open relationship" that was especially radical for their time. According to de Beauvoir, Sartre said, "What we have is an essential love; but it is a good idea for us also to experience contingent love affairs." She reflected about this: "We were two of a kind, and our relationship would endure as long as we did: but it could not make up entirely for the fleeting riches to be had from encounters with different people."


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.
