Scorpio Rabbit and Sagittarius Dragon

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.

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

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

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

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

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."

Rabbit and Dragon

Compatibility overview

The Chinese zodiac—with its emphasis on year-long rather than month-long time intervals—is known for not pulling punches. This is especially true for the so-called Adversary matches, which include the firsteast and secondeast. There is some deeply troublesome energy here, and clashes or brooding disquiet may be difficult to avoid.

This is a case of conflicting styles, if ever there was one. Where the Rabbit is celebrated for their usually impeccable manners and peaceful disposition, the Dragon inspires through audacious intensity. Mixing the two together has the potential to bring out the worst in both.

In this combination, the Rabbit may become evasive, stressed, or fawning. The Dragon can be nasty, cruel, or obnoxious. The uniquely problematic nature of Adversary matches like this one arises in part because the energy is more ambiguous than direct. Rather than building to a head-on confrontation, the tension here is more likely to fester. These two tend to alternate uncomfortably between secretiveness and bluntness, doting and betrayal, reticence and attention-seeking. The quicksand quality to interactions between these two is a particular danger, meaning that even attempts at conciliation often wind up simply making matters worse.

In short, this energy combination can be a challenge for the parties themselves and those around them. Successful examples of this match will need strong counterbalancing energy on the Western side, or an admirable commitment to self-knowledge and conflict resolution.

Vladimir Putin and Mikhail Khodorkovsky

Mikhail Khodorkovsky (6/26/1963, Cancer Rabbit), Vladimir Putin (10/7/1952, Libra Dragon) : The exiled businessman, once reputedly the richest individual in Russia, has had one of the most famous political feuds in history with the Russian President. Commentator Masha Gessen wrote in 2012, "At the root of the conflict between Putin and Khodorkovsky lies a basic difference in character. Putin rarely says what he means and even less frequently trusts that others are saying what they mean. Khodorkovsky, in contrast, seems to have always taken himself and others at face value."

50 Cent (7/6/1975, Cancer Rabbit), Ja Rule (2/29/1976, Pisces Dragon) : A feud between the two rappers has been described as one of the longest-running in Hip-Hop history. In 2018, 50 Cent claimed to have bought the first 200 tickets at a Ja Rule concert, so there would be empty seats in the front row.

Al Pacino and Beverly D'Angelo

Beverly D'Angelo (11/15/1951, Scorpio Rabbit), Al Pacino (4/25/1940, Taurus Dragon) : The two actors were in a relationship from the late 1990s until 2003, and D'Angelo gave birth to twins in 2001. D'Angelo described: "I got pregnant at 48, delivered six weeks after I was 49, and by 51, I was looking at a landscape as a single parent." An acrimonious custody dispute followed. More recently, however, D'Angelo has said positively: "You have to accept differences and all the things that led to a break-up in a way that allows you to move forward. And out of my support system and people I know and love, I’ve created [in Pacino] the ideal (parenting) partner."

Quentin Tarantino (3/27/1963, Aries Rabbit), Harvey Weinstein (3/19/1952, Pisces Dragon) : The director and producer were longtime collaborators before Weinstein's imprisonment as a sex offender. In the wake of the allegations against Weinstein, Tarantino said: "There was more to it than just the normal rumors, the normal gossip. It wasn’t secondhand. I knew he did a couple of these things. I wish I had taken responsibility for what I heard. If I had done the work I should have done then, I would have had to not work with him."

Sarah and Todd Palin

Sarah Palin (2/11/1964, Aquarius Rabbit), Todd Palin (9/6/1964, Virgo Dragon) : The US politician (including 2008 Republican nominee for Vice President) and oil field production operator were married for 30 years until 2020 and had five children together. Despite years of tabloid speculation, the marriage appeared strong until Todd Palin reportedly filed for divorce on his 55th birthday in 2019, citing "incompatibility of temperament". Sarah Palin learnt of the divorce filing in an email she received a week after their 31st wedding anniversary. She later described: "It's not easy to talk about. It was devastating. I thought I got shot."

Johnny Depp (6/9/1963, Gemini Rabbit), Sherilyn Fenn (2/1/1965, Aquarius Dragon) : The two actors dated for two and a half years before either found fame. Fenn has indicated on Instagram that she thinks fondly of her relationship with Depp, but the two do not keep in contact: "Simply the very first love of my life...After so many years it would be fun to talk. Yet, memories are enough as well."

George Orwell (6/25/1903, Cancer Rabbit), Graham Greene (10/2/1904, Libra Dragon) : The two authors were contemporaries writing in postwar Britain. Orwell's review of Greene's novel The Heart of the Matter has become an archetype of scathing criticism. Orwell writes, "I have not parodied the plot of the book. Even when dressed up in realistic details, it is just as ridiculous as I have indicated..."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

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.
