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 and Fran Walsh

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 and Yelawolf

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."

The Rabbit and Sheep are one of the most magical pairings in the Chinese zodiac.

A central element of Chinese astrology is the four Trine Families into which the twelve signs divide. One of these consists of the Rabbit and Sheep (along with their most generous ally, the Pig). These signs are bound together by a mutual love of aesthetic beauty, relaxation, and empathy. In the company of some other signs, they can both be quite easily overwhelmed, given their profound sensitivity to perceived ugliness, noise or aggression. But together, they will tend to lose themselves quickly in a wonderful atmosphere of tranquility.

The Sheep will likely be fascinated by the Rabbit's abundant skills and deeply romantic sensibility. Instinctively secure in the Rabbit's company, the Sheep is apt to unleash a true charm offensive, delighting and reassuring the gentle Rabbit. Perhaps no other sign is as capable of expressing pure hypnotic joy as the Sheep when they are at ease! While early exchanges are likely to have a flirtatious quality even in entirely chaste surroundings, the closer these two become, the more likely they are to realise the powerful creative potential of their shared energy. For these two signs are artists in their marrow.

As a pair, the Rabbit and Sheep are capable of expressing their shared aesthetic with extraordinary elegance and refinement, whether in professional projects or in building a home and life together. Given the freedom and peace they need, the results will almost certainly be breathtaking.

Angelina Jolie (6/4/1975, Gemini Rabbit), Billy Bob Thornton (8/4/1955, Leo Sheep) : The two actors shared a high-profile relationship when they were married from 2000 to 2003. They were known for eccentric displays of affection, which included wearing vials of each other's blood, and Jolie gifting Thornton a pair of matching burial plots. In the foreword to Thornton's book, The Billy Bob Tapes: A Cave Full of Ghosts (2012), Jolie wrote: "Through the years I’ve known Billy I’ve learned that not only was he as interesting, as truly original, as had been told to me, but that he was also so much more…Some people walk through life able to quiet the voices in their heads. He can’t. And I, and everyone else who knows him well, we love him for it. I know one thing: the world would certainly be a hell of a lot more dull if that man weren’t in it."

Michael Jordan (2/17/1963, Aquarius Rabbit), Yvette Prieto (3/26/1979, Aries Sheep) : The legenday basketballer and model married in 2013. They have two children, twins born in 2014. Jordan has described: "I can count on one hand the girls I have dated seriously. Yvette is the third and … the third time’s the charm. She’s a fantastic girl and I like her. Aside from her beauty, which is obvious, she is loving, simple and very good person."

Paul Sorvino (4/13/1939, Aries Rabbit), Mira Sorvino (9/28/1967, Libra Sheep) : The two actors were father and daughter. In accepting her Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1996, for Mighty Aphrodite (1995), Mira said, "When you give me this award you honor my father Paul Sorvino who taught me everything I know about acting." Writing about her speech later, Mira described: "My love for my father has only continued to grow since this moment. All the love in my heart! He is the most loving father, the most brilliant actor, the most beautiful operatic tenor, the most talented visual artist—the wisest and most human advice giver, & best Grandpa ever!!"

Dermot Mulroney (10/31/1963, Scorpio Rabbit), Julia Roberts (10/28/1967, Scorpio Sheep) : The two actors are good friends, who worked together on the films, My Best Friend's Wedding (1997), and August: Osage County (2013). Mulroney described in 2016: "It doesn't always happen with every person that you love and work with -- you kind of go your separate ways. But we, against all odds, managed to maintain a great close friendship...[Roberts is] just one of the most genuine friends I have. She's a really generous person—great sense of humor and really caring. Great family, and she's been a good friend and role model for me."

Steve Jobs and Laurene Powell Jobs

Laurene Powell Jobs (11/6/1963, Scorpio Rabbit), Steve Jobs (2/24/1955, Pisces Sheep) : The two entrepreneurs were married from 1991 until Jobs' death in 2011. They had three children. Laurene Jobs described in 2020: "I can talk about him for hours. I met Steve when I was 25 years old. And from the day we met, we were together for 22 years. So he influenced everything. I grew up with him. Just like anyone that you share your life with, there’s an exchange and a robustness. We had a very, very beautiful and rich connection. We talked a lot, for hours every day. To pull out any one way in which he affected my worldview is impossible, because I have integrated so much of him."

Sidney Poitier (2/20/1927, Pisces Rabbit), Joanna Shimkus (10/30/1943, Scorpio Sheep) : The two actors were married from 1976 until Poitier died in 2022. Shimkus described in 1998: "I guess we were just destined to be [together]...It could be that we lead a very quiet life. It could be that it's just the way it is, I don't really know. But I never really did see him as a Black man. I mean, I know he is Black, but I just saw him as a man, and he was just a wonderful person. An amazing human being...The thing that attracted me to him the most, I think, is his integrity and his honesty [and] his loyalty to his family. He's just an amazing human being. He's just a good, good, good person. And he's cute too, yes! And he was especially gorgeous then. He still is too now, but he was very, very attractive then."

Mac Miller and Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar (6/17/1987, Gemini Rabbit), Mac Miller (1/19/1992, Capricorn Sheep) : The two rappers were friends who collaborated on songs including, "Fight the Feeling" (2012), and "God is Fair, Sexy Nasty" (2016). Speaking after Miller died tragically at age 26, Lamar described: "All in all that’s the type of person he was — just a good dude. Always made you feel good, just a great energy to have around...Great musician. Great writer. He just always had a smile on his face...No matter what he was going through, he didn’t make you feel sorry for him, you know? He was strong about it —always kept a smile on his face because he wanted you to smile, too. And that’s just something I always loved, you know, no matter whatever personal issues, he gave you that energy. He gave you that energy. It wasn’t no misery loves company with him, you know? He showed a smile and then you gave that smile right back. It made you feel good. So forever we’re gonna remember the life and we’re gonna remember that smile. Celebrate. Mac Miller. Love."

Final Words

The Sextile connection between firstwest and secondwest is one of the true gifts in Western astrology—a dependable, highly enjoyable match whose only real weakness is that its hassle-free camaraderie might seem to be missing some excitement or importance. Here, though, the magic between the firsteast and secondeast is harder to overlook, for these are born allies, who naturally provide each other with security, inspiration, and affection. In all, this is a simply brilliant foundation for any relationship.
