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."

Much like the elements in Western astrology, the Chinese zodiac is predicated on four Trine Families of signs. The family that comprises the Dragon and Rat (and their sibling-in-arms the Monkey) is classically the most inventive and vigorous of the four. The energy here is relentlessly high-octane, impatient to conceptualize the next breakthrough invention, anxious to see their daring schemes translated into brazen reality.
The Dragon is a stunningly combustible legend, generally at their most comfortable showcasing their glorious talents for the widest possible audience. They are likely to be quickly seduced by the charms and brilliant ambitions of the resourceful Rat. The Rat, meanwhile, ever shrewd, and quite happy to step into or out of the limelight themselves depending on what suits their clever purposes, is likely to seize immediately on the huge potential the Dragon represents for effective and concerted action. Most importantly, while a certain pragmatism may influence early contacts between these two, they are likely to find themselves almost immediately swept up in spontaneous joy.
Irrepressible and with talent to burn, in many quarters these signs can be easily bored or difficult to please. In each other's company, however, there will never be a dull moment! Don't be surprised if there is a sense of, "At last!", as these two finally find themselves free to unleash their prodigious skills in ways that are both exhilarating and productive.
As time passes by, seemingly in a pleasureful, constructive instant, the Rat and Dragon will probably find to their surprise that they have already built the foundation for a lifelong and deeply rewarding relationship.

Donna Summer (12/31/1948, Capricorn Rat), Giorgio Moroder (4/26/1940, Taurus Dragon) : The collaboration between singer Summer and producer Moroder during the 1970s and 80s has been credited as a pivotal influence on the history of dance music. Moroder described in 2023, "[Summer and I] were close, even though at the beginning of our relationship, so much of our time was divided, me mostly in Munich and her mostly in America after her success...[I] saw her often, during the last years of her life as she lived in the same building as I did in Los Angeles. We got close again before she died...If she ever believed that I was something of a mentor, that was OK, considering the years that we worked so closely together...I think that our musical relationship was really, really good. She believed in what Pete [Bellotte, Moroder’s longtime songwriting partner] and I were doing, and co-wrote the songs with us, while I did most of the music. She was very much involved. It was less of a singer-producer relationship and more like three guys working on songs together. That camaraderie had much to do with the success of our music."
Jean-Michel Basquiat (12/22/1960, Capricorn Rat), Andy Warhol (8/6/1928, Leo Dragon) : In spite of a 32 year age gap, the two famous artists developed a close and intimate relationship in the art scene of 1980s New York. Warhol described how after one of their first meetings Basquiet created an artwork of the two together: "He went home and within two hours a painting was back, still wet, of him and me together. And I mean, just getting to Christie Street must have taken an hour. He told me his assistant painted it."
Katy Perry (10/25/1984, Scorpio Rat), Orlando Bloom (1/13/1977, Capricorn Dragon) : The singer/songwriter and actor have dated since 2016, been engaged since 2019, and have a daughter together. In an Instagram tribute to Bloom on his 45th birthday in 2022, Perry posted: "Thank you for being a constant compass, an unwavering anchor and bringing joi[e] de vivre into every room you walk in. You are the love and light of my life."
Elsie Hewitt (3/5/1996, Pisces Rat), Benny Blanco (3/8/1988, Pisces Dragon) : The producer and model/actor quarantined together during the Covid-19 lockdowns in 2020. Hewitt and Blanco offered glimpses into their playful and intimate domestic life in a series of YouTube videos Hewitt created showing them preparing and cooking meals together.
John Belushi (1/24/1949, Aquarius Rat), Dan Aykroyd (7/1/1952, Cancer Dragon) : The two actors were long term collaborators, close friends and colleagues who worked together on iconic sets such as Saturday Night Live and The Blues Brothers. Forty years after Belushi's tragic death, Aykroyd commented in an interview, "I think of him every day."
LeBron James (12/30/1984, Capricorn Rat), Kevin Durant (9/29/1988, Libra Dragon) : The two world-famous basketballers jockeyed for position as potentially the best player in the NBA during the early 2020s. Despite their rivalry on court, James and Durant are close friends who are quick to defend each other, especially against media criticism. Durant stated in 2021: "Anything LeBron does, you guys talk about like it is breaking news. He can’t do anything. He has to play every game, he has to average close to a triple-double, he has to be a perfect person, because you will say everything about him."
