The Sextile combination in Western astrology, where signs are two steps apart, is well-known for its easygoing, congenial quality. Truth be told, this breezy energy can be quite unexpected for the pairing of Scorpio and Capricorn.
These are two seriously capable signs, who often wind up in leadership or otherwise prominent roles in society. These two usually find much to admire in the other. Scorpio, often thought to be the most intensely passionate and driven sign of the Western zodiac, is likely to pick up on and admire Capricorn's skills at subtly exercising power and controlling outcomes. Not for nothing does Capricorn have a reputation as the puppet-master of the zodiac! Capricorn, meanwhile, with their uncanny knack for appraising talent and quiet manoeuvring, will spot the potential of the typically gifted Scorpio a mile away.
What is more likely to catch these two off guard, however, is how easy and enjoyable it is for them to communicate. The respective elements here—Water for Scorpio, Earth for Capricorn—are naturally very compatible. So too are the modalities. Scorpio's Fixed energy, with its emphasis on productivity and achievement, forms a perfect complement to the more fluid and experimental Cardinal qualities of Capricorn. As a result, the atmosphere between these two signs is often lighthearted from the moment they meet, with each sensing that there is little to be demanded of or forced upon them. In fact, if there is a problem for this pair, it is the very lack of urgency that makes this combination enjoyable.
There may be a temptation to take this dynamic for granted, to think that it is somehow too easy to be taken seriously. But to overlook the potential of this relationship could be a mistake—few matches are as pleasurable and dependable in the long term as this one.

Barry Jenkins (11/19/1979, Scorpio Sheep), Regina King (1/15/1971, Capricorn Dog) : The actor and director collaborated in the prize-winning film, If Beale Street Could Talk (2018). King's acclaimed performance won her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. She described: "We need this movie right now. We need this hug. We need to understand love on a universal level. Barry Jenkins can make the global feel personal. He’s a master at that, and he doesn’t even have to try. It just happens to be who he is."
Heather Matarazzo (11/10/1982, Scorpio Dog), Heather Turman (12/31/1986, Capricorn Tiger) : The actor and comedian/film producer married in 2018. Truman posted to Instagram about their engagement: "We kept it to ourselves for a few days, but it’s official! I’m engaged to the absolute, unequivocal love of my life. I never knew I could find someone that matches me the way she does, in all ways… always. If Hollywood is my pyramids, then she is my Fatima. This is it. #whenyouknowyouknow."
Peter Jackson (10/31/1961, Scorpio Ox), Fran Walsh (1/10/1959, Capricorn Dog) : The director and screenwriter have been life partners since 1987. They have co-written all of Jackson's films since 1989, including the Lord of the Rings (2001-2003) and Hobbit (2012-2014) trilogies. Walsh famously avoids the limelight, and on one occasion remarked drily about Jackson: "He’s not my husband. He’s never asked me, and if he did, I probably wouldn’t say yes."
Mike Nichols (11/6/1931, Scorpio Sheep), Diane Sawyer (12/22/1945, Capricorn Rooster) : The journalist and director/producer/actor were married from 1988 until Nichols died in 2014. Nichols described in 2012: "I thought we were the two greatest bulls–ters. I thought we were brilliant but totally full of s–t, so smart and such good talkers and so modest, so wise. It took me a long time to realize that, in the first place, she wasn’t bulls–tting, she was real, and then — to my astonishment — that I was, too. And it was because of her. The way she saw me let me finally see that I was real, too."
Travis Barker (11/14/1975, Scorpio Rabbit), Yelawolf (12/30/1979, Capricorn Sheep) : The musician and rapper are friends who collaborated on the EP, Psycho White (2012), and later the song, "Out of Control" (2016). Barker described in 2012: "We clicked from the time we first met. We just had a bunch in common, whether it be cars or skateboarding or tattoos...We just started cranking out songs in the studio." Yelawolf said: "We’re almost the same person. [Travis] sees me as I do him: as this weird parody of cultures. I represented something in the South and the East that he does from the West Coast."
Ethan Hawke (11/6/1970, Scorpio Dog), Denzel Washington (12/28/1954, Capricorn Horse) : The two actors collaborated in Training Day (2001), for which both received Oscar nominations and Washington the Best Actor award, and The Magnificent Seven (2016). In a joint interview, Hawke described: "It was fascinating to see [Washington] work at that high a level, in a studio movie. You can see people working like that, in church basements, with confidence and creativity. But when big money comes around and pressure comes around, people shrink. It was an exciting moment to see that that didn’t have to be."

Compatibility overview
Chinese astrology often focuses on extremes of good or bad energy. The match between the firsteast and secondeast falls more into the middle ground. Some underlying tensions mean these two may find it a challenge to get really close to each other day to day. But key synergies mean these two can admire each other greatly, and inspire each other to terrific achievements.

The Chinese zodiac revolves around the four Trine Families. The families of the Dog (with the Tiger and Horse) and the Ox (with the Rooster and Snake) have a somewhat fractious relationship, and between them there some quite unstable matches (such as the Dog and Rooster, or the Ox and Horse). The Dog and the Ox, however, escape the worst of this energy. This means there is a solid foundation for these two to influence each other in positive ways.
The Dog and Ox have some fundamental values in common. Both define themselves based on their capacity for and veneration of hard work. For these two signs, true success is earned by labor, determination, and commitment. They also share a direct, at times inflexible, manner. Both pride themselves on telling things as they see them, not beating around the bush! A strong desire to build a safe and comfortable home life is also noteworthy for these two signs. This affinity may be the most promising for romantic or intimate connections between them.
Problems here are perhaps most likely to stem from the overlaps between their personalities, rather than any shocking difference. The Dog is at heart a more natural collaborator, more team-oriented than the Ox, who is most comfortable striving for and attaining leadership roles. Their mutual love of hard work can thus translate into the Dog feeling somewhat overawed and threatened, while the Ox sees the Dog at times with quite mercenary pragmatism. Both parties risk feeling cut off from or nervous about the other. Ox/Dog combinations should be wary of driving each other to persevere and achieve while neglecting the emotional connection between them. Successful relationships between these signs may find that they are able to compartmentalize their respective ambitions and endeavours, so that their similarities become a source of strength rather than tension.
The Dog and Ox are both capable of great reliability and faithfulness. If they can leverage their shared attributes in a way that does not cause undue distance or anxiety, they may forge a lasting, enriching, and extraordinarily impactful connection.

Ivana Trump (2/20/1949, Pisces Ox), Donald Trump (6/14/1946, Gemini Dog) : The real estate developer and future US President were married from 1977 to 1992 and had three children. In a 2017 interview, Ivana described: "Donald gave me all the opportunity to go and prove myself. I built the Commander Hotel. I built the Trump Tower. Then Donald [sent] me to Atlantic City, and I was flying at 8 in the morning after breakfast with the kids to Atlantic City on the helicopter. I think that Donald supports the woman. He loves the woman. Always did. He definitely respected women."
Meryl Streep (6/22/1949, Cancer Ox), Don Gummer (12/12/1946, Sagittarius Dog) : The celebrated actor and visual artist were together for around 45 years after they married in 1978. They have four children. Streep described in 2019: "Teamwork is everything. My husband Don was … very involved. He was a little more relaxed when it comes to raising kids. I was more of a tiger mom. When my son Henry was little, he wanted to learn to play the piano but the teacher we hired was not very good, and Henry lost interest. I thought he should continue to take lessons, but my husband thought it was my dream that I was trying to impose on him. Today, my son is 37 and he's a musician. Tigermom Meryl was right."
Angela Lansbury (10/16/1925, Libra Ox), Bea Arthur (5/13/1922, Taurus Dog) : The two actors formed a close and lasting friendship when they acted together in 1965. In a speech inducting Arthur into the Television Academy Hall of Fame in 2008, Lansbury said: "[S]peaking of Bea and me, I think I can say in all honesty that we have enjoyed each other’s company in so many ways above and beyond the make believe of theater and television. I know what a shy and retiring person she is at heart. Home and hearth and family and friends are the mainstays of her life. Oh and did I mention that she was a gourmand of the first order and superb cook. She taught me how to appreciate good sushi and I taught her how to prune her roses...[I]t is my great honor to present the academy of television arts and sciences hall of fame award to my beloved bosom buddy, Bea Arthur. Thank you for being my friend."
Warren Beatty (3/30/1937, Aries Ox), Madonna (8/16/1958, Leo Dog) : The superstar actor and musician dated around the time they co-starred in Dick Tracy, and have remained complimentary about one another. Beattie said in 2016: "[Madonna] is a huge personality, diligent and disciplined and a spectacular dancer and performer. She’s a phenomenon."
Kate Moss (1/16/1974, Capricorn Ox), Naomi Campbell (5/22/1970, Gemini Dog) : The two supermodels have maintained a close friendship since they were teenagers. Campbell has written: "Kate and I have seen each other through the good and the bad. Kate has stood by me through it all...[W]e’ve learned to resolve issues one-on-one, we don’t let anyone else get involved. We don’t have to speak every day but we have a connection...She’s very intuitive, very instinctive. She might not tell you she’s noticed something straight away but she doesn’t miss a beat. Nothing gets past her."
Martin Amis (8/25/1949, Virgo Ox), Kingsley Amis (4/16/1922, Aries Dog) : The two writers provide one of the few if any cases where both father and child have become celebrated novelists, though their styles are starkly different. Martin Amis has described their relationship: "[Kingsley] was brilliantly indolent: he never gave me any encouragement at all...I think [The Rachel Papers, Martin's first book] was the last novel of mine he read all the way through...[For] subsequent books, he read about twenty pages and then gave up. It took a bit of getting used to, this, because you felt it as a son and as a fellow writer...I would much rather revise upward my opinion of a friend’s book than endanger a friendship. But he was not like that; in that way he was much tougher than me."
