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."

Tiger and Ox

Compatibility overview

Much of Chinese astrology is about extremes of positive or negative energy. The combination of firsteast and secondeast, however, falls in the middle ground. Although these signs can have quite different instincts, meaning there is potential for conflict and tension at times, there are also some strong affinities that can foster a warm and supportive relationship.

Compatibility in the Chinese zodiac is generally based on four Trine Families (like the elements in Western astrology). The families of the Ox (with the Rooster and Snake) and the Tiger (with the Dog and Horse) have a reputation for not being very close, and in fact there are some problematic matches among them (e.g., Ox and Horse, or Tiger and Snake). The Ox and Tiger themselves, however, have much in common.

Both of these signs are drawn to leadership, and they each have a strong commitment to the values they hold dear. In early conversations, these two may well be greatly impressed by each other's ambitions and principles. Lively banter or sexual tension would be par for the course. The Ox will almost certainly respect the Tiger's nobility and dedication to causes, while the Tiger cannot help but admire the extraordinary strength and determination of the Ox. In fact, it is the similarities between these two that may prove the clearest source of potential tension.

Tasked with working together, the leadership styles of the Ox and Tiger may not always co-exist easily. The Tiger tends towards a varied pace, mixing idleness with blazing bursts of activity, whereas the Ox is known for steadiness and relentless willpower. The Ox inclines towards group efforts, where the Tiger's style is more independent. Most importantly, neither of these signs will be comfortable deferring to the other, and both will believe themselves entitled to deference.

Ultimately, it may be crucial for these two to arrange things so each can be in charge of their own projects, rather than collaborating all the time. If such an accord can be arranged, then the Ox and Tiger both have a deeply caring side to their personalities, and the relationship may prove a deeply warm and supportive connection.

Ted Turner and Jane Fonda

Jane Fonda (12/21/1937, Sagittarius Ox), Ted Turner (11/19/1938, Scorpio Tiger) : The actor and media entrepreneur were married between 1991 and 2001. Speaking about the marriage in 2021, an 83-year-old Fonda explained: "I’m attracted to people who can teach me things and whose lives are different from mine...marrying Ted is like marrying 15 people — you have to learn how to hunt, so I did. You have to learn how to fly-fish, so I did."

Rooney Mara (4/17/1985, Aries Ox), Joaquin Phoenix (10/28/1974, Scorpio Tiger) : The two actors met in 2012 and have been a couple since 2017. Their son, named River Lee after Phoenix's late brother, was born in 2020. "She’s the only girl I ever looked up on the internet," Phoenix has said about Mara. "We were just friends, email friends. I’d never done that. Never looked up a girl online."

Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney

George Clooney (5/6/1961, Taurus Ox), Steven Soderbergh (1/14/1963, Capricorn Tiger) : The director and actor/director have collaborated on multiple occasions, including Out of Sight, Solaris, and the Ocean's Eleven series. Speaking about the his first film as a director, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Clooney described: "My first cut was about half an hour longer, and the first time I showed it to [Soderbergh] all together, he said, 'It's great, you're gonna cut, like, three of your favourite shots,' and I'm like, 'You're stoned, dude.' About a month later, I cut those shots, which killed me, but Steven was infinitely helpful ... it's a story told from three different narratives of a guy in three different periods in his life and sort of coming to terms with the idea of having a specific one that you could really focus on and that was where [Soderbergh] was really helpful in understanding that. It's a wild process."

Camila Cabello (3/3/1997, Pisces Ox), Shawn Mendes (8/8/1998, Leo Tiger) : The two singer/songwriters were in a relationship from 2019-2021. Despite rumors that the couple formed as a publicity stunt, both Cabello and Mendes insisted the relationship was real. Mendes described: "She is completely all in or nothing. And I think that’s something that I wasn’t at the beginning of our relationship. And I think that a lot of people maybe are afraid to be all in, because if you’re all in, then you kind of, it hurts it. The blow hurts that much more if it ends, you know? ... She’s so absolutely patient with me, especially when I’m stressed or anything is kind of getting to me. She’ll text me. And if I ever am kind of just being bite-y with her and she’d be like, ‘It’s okay. I love you. No matter what, I love you, no matter what.’ And it’s like, that’s real strength and patience and love. But it’s amazing. It’s like a movie."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The Sextile connection between firstwest and secondwest is perhaps the most uniquely joyful and low-maintenance in the Western zodiac, offering both any-kind-of-weather reliability and belly-laughs in spades. This injects welcome lightness to the dynamic between the firsteast and secondeast in this relationship, two signs who often admire and care about each other greatly, but can also experience a sense of not being fully appreciated or understood. Overall, this is an energy matrix that bodes well for trustworthiness and humor, accentuating the highs, and smoothing quickly over the lows.
