Scorpio Dog and Sagittarius Rooster

The slow-burn energy of firstwest and secondwest may lead to a powerfully dependable and nourishing bond, provided the signs can navigate difficult headwinds arising from the firsteast and secondeast combination.

Western Zodiac

Scorpio and Sagittarius

Compatibility overview

Traditionally, next-door signs around the Western zodiac wheel have had quite a difficult reputation. The usual thinking has been that they are similar to real-life neighbors, tending to prefer a nervous distance over a closer connection that could backfire in the future. Often, though, the passage of time can prove a powerful blessing for these two. With patience, this connection could lead to a strong and deeply nourishing bond.

Adjacent Western signs share a Semi-sextile aspect. One of only two minor aspects (with the Quincunx), this energy is known for its gentle influence, which offers at once a sense of freedom, and a somewhat confusing lack of direction.

Early contacts can thus be somewhat standoffish. While Sagittarius and Scorpio are both known for the intensity of their characters, the philosophical bent of Sagittarius is usually far more abstract than the deeply emotional nature of Scorpio. Hence Sagittarius may find Scorpio's brand of passionate sensitivity to be jarring, exhausting, or distracting. Scorpio, on the other hand, may view Sagittarius as quite coldly detached, and be either impatient with or hurt by Sagittarius' impulse to see life in terms that go beyond or do not prioritize human feelings. The respective elements here—the dynamic idealism of Fire for Sagittarius, the profundity of Water for Scorpio—can be notoriously difficult to reconcile. In truth, the result may be a relationship that never progresses much past the entrée.

Given the opportunity to develop, however, these two may realize that their initial hesitation was misplaced. Sagittarius possesses a Mutable modality, which naturally inclines towards consequences, implications, and after-effects. This is a marvelous match for Scorpio's Fixed energy, bringing as it does a powerful determination to achieve real-world results and impacts. Collaborations between these two may start slowly, with both signs beginning from perhaps wildly different starting points, but mutual projects are likely to be highly original and progress happily to completion. Meanwhile, Sagittarius may come to appreciate just how much their ethical frameworks and idealism can benefit from Scorpio's acute sensitivity, while Scorpio can learn to channel their perceptiveness in ways that are more ethical and constructive, and less self-destructive.

A measure of ongoing independence will be invaluable here, and humor may prove especially important in diffusing tensions, as both of these signs can express themselves cruelly if taken too seriously. With care and respect, though, this combination can defy expectations, and become one of the Western zodiac's true hidden gems.

Russell Wilson and Ciara (click for attribution/s)

Ciara (10/25/1985, Scorpio Ox), Russell Wilson (11/29/1988, Sagittarius Dragon) : Singer/businesswoman Ciara and NFL quarterback Wilson began dating in 2015, and married in 2016. They have two children together, and Ciara has a child from a previous relationship. Early in their relationship, they reportedly agreed to practice abstinence "until the deal is sealed", with Ciara explaining, "I think both of us look at each other and we’re like – whew! But we take it one day at a time and keep it going with each other, and I’m really enjoying every day that we’re sharing." They are also business partners, with their own production company, and part-ownership of the Seattle Sounders soccer team. In 2021, Wilson posted a birthday message to Ciara, saying, "Perfect in every way. God made you for me. He made you to fit perfectly in my arms. Made you to be the amazing woman and mother you are. God made you to entertain the world with your gift to sing & dance! He gifted you with the ability to Tilt the room.. when you walk in ALL the furniture slides towards you. He gifted you with the ability to smile and bring joy to ALL things! Gifted you with the ability to LOVE."

Katy Perry (10/25/1984, Scorpio Rat), Taylor Swift (12/13/1989, Sagittarius Snake) : For a time, the two high-profile singers shared a seemingly acrimonious feud. Apparently beginning with a disagreement about backing dancers, it has been speculated that the dispute contributed to the songs, "Bad Blood" (2015) by Swift, and "Swish Swish" (2017) by Perry. The two subsequently reconciled, with Perry sending Swift an actual olive branch, and the two appearing together—dressed as a burger and fries respectively—in the clip for Swift's song, "You Need to Calm Down" (2019). Swift described in 2019, "When [Perry and I] saw each other, it was just very clear to both of us that everything was different, that we had grown up, that we had grown past allowing ourselves to be played against each other. It was just really clear that we remembered how much we had in common."

Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke (click for attribution/s)

Ethan Hawke (11/6/1970, Scorpio Dog), Julie Delpy (12/21/1969, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two actors collaborated (with director Richard Linklater) on the Before film trilogy: Before Sunrise (1995), Before Sunset (2004), Before Midnight (2013). Delpy and Hawke co-wrote the second and third instalments in the series. Delpy described about a love scene in the third film, "It was like making out with your brother. Ethan and I have a great relationship, we're great collaborators and friends but the romantic things is … not there. I literally had to disconnect my brain. I had to take Julie out of my body for those scenes."

Leonardo DiCaprio (11/11/1974, Scorpio Tiger), Jonah Hill (12/20/1983, Sagittarius Pig) : The two actors became friends when they met on the set of Django Unchained (2012), and have gone on to star memorably in the films, The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), and Don't Look Up (2021). In 2021, Hill described: "Look, I'll just start right out of the gate and say [DiCaprio] is an absolute genius, this young man, this friend of mine. His ability to improvise and take control of a scene and have the narrative be shifted in the most amazing, colourful ways is a sight to witness and something truly remarkable to experience. He's absolutely a genius...[T]here's been no more loyal friend or anything I've ever made in show business."

Sarah Paulson and Cherry Jones (click for attribution/s)

Cherry Jones (11/21/1956, Scorpio Monkey), Sarah Paulson (12/17/1974, Sagittarius Tiger) : The two actors were a couple from 2004 to 2009. Paulson has described how a spontaneous kiss resulted in her inadvertently coming out at the 2005 Tony Awards, saying, "[Jones] won a Tony Award, I kissed her, and all of a sudden I was outed. I didn't really think about it in that way at the time — I was just doing what one would do when a person they love has just won a big fat acting prize. What am I gonna do, pat her on the back and say 'good job, dude?' It didn't occur to me to do anything but what I did." About their break-up in 2009, Paulson described in 2009, "[We're] great. It’s the happiest break up that's ever been. We grew so much together and now we can send each other off with a kiss and great love."

John Cleese (10/27/1939, Scorpio Rabbit), Connie Booth (12/2/1940, Sagittarius Dragon) : Writer/comedian/actor Cleese and writer/actor/psychotherapist Booth created and starred in the iconic TV show, Fawlty Towers (1974-1979). They were married from 1968 to 1978. Cleese said in 2011, "When Connie and I broke up in 1978, I was very upset for about two years. There was a great deal of love in that relationship, and we've managed to remain good friends."

Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman (click for attribution/s)

Jimmy Kimmel (11/13/1967, Scorpio Sheep), Sarah Silverman (12/1/1970, Sagittarius Dog) : The two comedians were famously a couple between 2002 and 2009. Describing their courtship, Silverman said in 2007, "We had known each other for a while, just watching movies and stuff, just being friends. And then one night...Jimmy went in for the first kiss, and both of us — we were probably nose to nose for what seemed like forty minutes before either of us had the guts to just go ahead and kiss. But once we did, we started making out like crazy. It had been festering for a very long time." They have maintained a close friendship since breaking up. Silverman said in 2010, "Sometimes loving each other isn't enough...But I will always love [Kimmel]. Sometimes I think maybe we'll die together in our old age or something," while Kimmel described in 2017, "Sarah and I, we're like brothers...I'll see something in the news and think, Oh, my God. I have to tell Sarah about this."

Compatibility overview

Chinese astrology is far less equivocal about matches considered to attract bad energy than its Western counterpart. Unfortunately, the combination of firsteast and secondeast is one of the six notorious Adversary pairings, which generally have the worst reputation of any in the Chinese zodiac.

The six Adversary matches along the fourth degree axis are well known for their potentially unstable energy. In the case of the Dog and Rooster, the earnest diligence of the Dog runs headlong into the Rooster's endless enterprise and panache.

If the sensibility of the Dog is captured in a single concept, it is their love and support for the underdog, for causes that are undervalued and neglected by society at large. The Rooster is almost incapable of fulfilling this description. Rooster natives tend to be larger than life from the moment of first impact, fashionable to the hilt, with energy to burn. Hence these two will likely clash from the beginning. In the eyes of the Dog, the Rooster may appear to be all pomp and no substance—a noisy, posing, and superficial distraction from people and projects that are truly deserving. For the Rooster, meanwhile, the Dog can be an interminably boring worrywart, a judgemental handbrake on the kinds of expansive enterprise that make life worth living.

Initial friction can become especially damaging over time. As a duo, these two will tend to take turns at being hypercritical, overanxious, wounded and bitter, or patronizingly antagonistic—oftentimes all at once. The hallmark of this energy is that hostility is more indirect than direct. Fury is thus more likely to fester than explode, and instability can persist without ever building to a direct confrontation. Attempts to defuse the tension are likely to achieve little more than rehashing the same old disputes, so contrary are the instincts of these conflicting personalities.

As ever in astrology, success is not foreclosed by such troublesome energy. But strongly positive influences on the Western side, or sophisticated strategies for conflict resolution, may be necessary for these two to find happiness together.

Madonna and Mariah Carey (click for attribution/s)

Mariah Carey (3/27/1969, Aries Rooster), Madonna (8/16/1958, Leo Dog) : A longstanding feud between the two music superstars has seen them exchange harsh criticisms. Said Madonna, "We have to realize that the same country that acquitted O.J. is the same country that...buys Mariah Carey records. It's this homogeneity. But it's got nothing to do with art." Carey responded, "I really haven't paid attention to Madonna since I was in seventh or eighth grade when she used to be popular."

Tucker Carlson (5/16/1969, Taurus Rooster), Donald Trump (6/14/1946, Gemini Dog) : The 45th US President and media personality had appeared to have a supportive relationship, with Carlson being described in 2020 as, "[P]erhaps the highest-profile proponent of 'Trumpism'." However, private messages revealed in early 2023 revealed Carlson's antipathy towards Trump. Carlson's messages included: "All of [Trump's business ventures] fail. What he’s good at is destroying things. He’s the undisputed world champion of that."; "We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can’t wait...I hate him passionately."; and "[Trump's] a demonic force, a destroyer. But he’s not going to destroy us. I’ve been thinking about this every day for four years."

Prince William and Meghan Markle (click for attribution/s)

Meghan Markle (8/4/1981, Leo Rooster), Prince William (6/21/1982, Cancer Dog) : The complex relationship between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry and other members of the British royal family, particularly Harry's brother Prince William and his wife Princess Catherine, has become one of the most famous feuds of all time. During the Netflix documentary series, Harry & Meghan, Markle spoke about a senior aide to William who gave unfavourable evidence in a lawsuit she brought against an English tabloid. "It's your brother," Markle said to Harry on screen. "Not gonna say anything about your brother, but it's so obvious."

Quincy Jones (3/14/1933, Pisces Rooster), Michael Jackson (8/29/1958, Virgo Dog) : The producer and musician collaborated on the celebrated albums Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad. Since Jackson's death, Jones has been outspoken in his criticisms of the "King of Pop", saying, "Michael stole a lot of stuff. He stole a lot of songs...The notes don’t lie, man. He was as Machiavellian as they come. Greedy, man. Greedy."

Priscilla and Elvis Presley (click for attribution/s)

Priscilla Presley (5/24/1945, Gemini Rooster), Elvis Presley (1/8/1935, Capricorn Dog) : The musician dubbed "The King of Rock and Roll" and the actor/businesswoman met when Priscilla was 14. They later had a famously troubled marriage. Both reportedly had multiple affairs. Priscilla described how Elvis stopped being attracted to her after their daughter was born, as he "had a hard time dealing with me being a mother and the little girl that I was to him", and referred to herself as "Elvis’ living doll, to fashion as he pleased."

Errol Flynn (6/20/1909, Gemini Rooster), David Niven (3/1/1910, Pisces Dog) : The two actors from Hollywood's golden age were frequent co-stars and lived together for a time. Niven's memoirs included seriously unflattering descriptions of Flynn. "The great thing about Errol," Niven wrote, "was you always knew exactly where you stood with him because he always let you down."

Minnie Driver (1/31/1970, Aquarius Rooster), Matt Damon (10/8/1970, Libra Dog) : The two actors were a high-profile celebrity couple after they began dating while co-starring in Good Will Hunting. Driver has claimed that Damon effectively broke up with her by announcing on Oprah that he was single: "It seemed like a good forum for him to announce to the world that we were no longer together, which I found fantastically inappropriate. Of course, he was busy declaring his love for me on David Letterman a month previously."

Final Words

The neighborly semi-Sextile connection between firstwest and secondwest usually needs some time to see past their differences and initial nervousness, although in the long term they have quite wonderful potential for support and tenderness. Admittedly, in this case the firsteast and secondeast combination presents a difficult obstacle, often contributing a serious lack of sympathy or understanding. Yet semi-Sextile energy is nothing if not a quiet achiever. With determination and careful strategizing, these two may find that long-term dependability, nourishment, and reward prove less difficult to achieve than they first thought.
