Yet there can be a magical quality to the energy here, which is ultimately capable of yielding a close and inspiring bond.

Five steps apart around the Western zodiac wheel, Sagittarius and Taurus share a Quincunx (or inconjunct) aspect. This is said to be a minor influence, one of only two (with the Semi-Sextile), which means the surrounding atmosphere offers both an exciting freedom from constraints, and a sometimes disconcerting lack of direction.

The more confusing side of this combination is amplified by the respective elements. Sagittarius is a Fire sign, typically dynamic, idealistic, and impactful, whereas Earth sign Taurus tends to be far steadier and more consistent in outlook. Sagittarius will often feel as if they need to light a bomb under Taurus before Taurus can be coerced into action. Taurus, meanwhile, may experience a kind of vertigo at the intensity and suddenness of Sagittarius' demands. Sagittarius' natural inclination towards the philosophical usually leads them to prioritize beyond-human concerns and the "big picture", rather than individual feelings and sensitivities. Taurus may be one of the most stubborn of all the signs, but they are deeply caring and invest heavily in the security of their loved ones. Hence Sagittarius may feel as if Taurus is weighed down by emotional responsibility, while Taurus can find Sagittarius lofty, unrealistic, or uncaring.

The beauty of these signs' shared Quincunx energy, however, is that their stark differences frequently do not appear too serious. In fact, the attraction between these opposites can be especially flirtatious, intriguing, and exciting. The practical and productive Fixed energy of Taurus knits beautifully with the more reflective Mutable energy of Sagittarius. Physical attraction may be powerfully strong, but creative and intellectual stimulation is equally likely. Grounded by Taurus' sensibleness and physicality, Sagittarius may find themselves more confident, accessible, and better at taking care of themselves. Sagittarius, meanwhile, can inspire Taurus to get out of a rut, and can tap into Taurus' often-overlooked aesthetic side, provoking Taurus into fulfilling abstract reflection and expression.

Given the differences here, substantial independence, at least from time to time, is more or less essential. Problems must be addressed head-on, too, as Quincunx energy tends to atrophy if tensions are not worked through. Overall, though, with sufficient tenderness and understanding, there are some truly magical prospects here, capable of producing lifelong rewards.

Dwayne Johnson (5/2/1972, Taurus Rat), Dany Garcia (11/29/1968, Sagittarius Monkey) : The actor/wrestler/businessman Johnson and businesswoman/bodybuilder Garcia were married from 1997 to 2008. They continue to have a high-profile business relationship, including buying The XFL together in 2020. Garcia said in 2008, "Some people go through separation and there's no conversation, and it's a dark time, and one person goes off, but that was never us. We went on this journey together. We were going to change the manner of the relationship together. We spoke every day, and multiple times a day—not only on business, but on what was happening personally."

Kelly Clarkson (4/24/1982, Taurus Dog), Brandon Blackstock (12/16/1976, Sagittarius Dragon) : The singer-songwriter Clarkson and talent manager Blackstock were married from 2013 to 2021, during which time Blackstock was also Clarkson's manager. They had two children together. In 2019, Clarkson said, "We both love getting out in nature, we love the country and we are not really city people. It is nice to go out and have your kids do stuff outside and in nature. So that is what we will be doing the whole time. You won’t find me. I will be lost in a ranch!"

Ellen Burstyn and Al Pacino (click for attribution/s)

Al Pacino (4/25/1940, Taurus Dragon), Ellen Burstyn (12/7/1932, Sagittarius Monkey) : The two actors are longtime friends, who since 2000 have been co-presidents of the Actors Studio, a prestigious drama school in New York City. In a 2019 interview, Burstyn described: "Isn’t [Pacino] something? I’ve known him so many years. He’s just such an original being. [When Burstyn interviewed Pacino for the talk show, Inside the Actors Studio (1994-present),] I would ask a question and Al would go off, and the story would go all the way around and around and I’d think, God, where is he going with this? But he always comes back."

Pierce Brosnan (5/16/1953, Taurus Snake), Cassandra Harris (12/15/1948, Sagittarius Rat) : The two actors were married from 1980 until Harris' death in 1991 from cancer. They had three children (two adopted by Brosnan from Harris' previous marriage). Months after Harris died—referencing his performance in the successful film, The Lawnmower Man (1992)—Brosnan described: "I told [Harris], ‘Well, darling, I know you’re up there moving the pieces around.’ I did [the film] because Cassie said it would be good to do. She has made me the man I am, the actor I am, the father I am. She’s forever embedded in every fiber of my being. She’s there with me every day. I was so blessed to have met someone like that...There is an incredible cruelty in it all, losing a person you shared everything with. This is the first time in my life I’ve ever experienced bereavement, and it’s overwhelming."

George Clooney (5/6/1961, Taurus Ox), Brad Pitt (12/18/1963, Sagittarius Rabbit) : The two actors have shared a high-profile "bromance" for decades.

They are known for their playful pranks—in 2016, Clooney described: "I got a bumper sticker in the shape of a pot plant, that said, ‘F— cops,’ and I put that on the back of [Pitt's] car. Because there’s no way you’re not getting arrested with that. But I am working on a prank that will end his career. If you take the time, if you’re willing to sit on one for a couple of years, and just plant the seed ...there’s no rush." In 2022, asked to name handsome movie stars, Pitt said, "If I was gonna name someone present, well I gotta name that George Clooney f— because why not? Because usually, I'm always taking him out, and he's always taking me out. And this time, I'm gonna go the other way, just this once."

Meek Mill (5/6/1987, Taurus Rabbit), Jay-Z (12/4/1969, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two hip-hop artists share a supportive and collaborative relationship. They are co-founders of REFORM Alliance, an organization devoted to probation, parole, and sentencing reform in the US. In 2017, Jay-Z wrote an opinion for The New York Times, entitled, "The Criminal Justice System Stalks Black People Like Meek Mill". After Meek Mill left Jay-Z's entertainment company, Roc Nation, in 2022, Jay-Z rapped, "Me and Meek could never beef, I freed that n— from a whole bid."

Monkey and Monkey

Compatibility overview

The Monkey is famous the world over for their irrepressible energy and cleverness, and two Monkeys together naturally form a brilliant, high-spirited pairing. Imbalance is always a risk for own-sign matches, and here the lack of a calming influence may contribute to some high-octane ego conflicts or an occasional sense of loneliness. Nevertheless, these two share rare insight into each other's complex energy, which often makes for a strong and enduring bond.

At the heart of Chinese astrology lies the concept of the four Trine Families, much like the elements in Western astrology. The family of the Monkey (with the Dragon and Rat) emphasizes creativity, sociability, and high-spirited energy. Hence two Monkeys typically find common ground easily, and will usually be impressing and entertaining each other in no time.

The Monkey's true gift is for originality and ingenuity, so a pair of these genius signs will often inspire each other to great heights. Indeed, the Monkey sign can often find themselves bored in other company, so it can be a true thrill for them to find a kindred soul who sparkles with equivalent intensity. Often highly social creatures, at least most of the time, the Monkey typically delights in flirtatious banter, playful jesting, and testing ideas to extremes of logic and provocation. The sharp-shooting repartee between two Monkey souls can be as dazzling for bystanders as it is for the parties themselves! Not that this connection is always positively charged. Though frequently masked by appearances, the Monkey is surprisingly prone to isolation and despondency, and this emotional range makes them a cherished friend in times of need. Two Monkeys may find they share a deep trust and security that is rarely accessible to others.

As with all own-sign matches, the overflow of common energy may at times cause a lack of balance. Competitiveness between members of the same sign is always a risk, and the Monkey's abundant gifts mean they are understandably accustomed to being the centre of attention. Hence these two could find they cannot help but eclipse each other, or become involved in vicious circles of continually trying to outdo each other in feats of skill, bravado, or insight. The Monkey's moodiness can be endearing, given their frequent generosity with kindness and compassion, but two Monkeys may find they sometimes drag each other down into a depression that is hard to shake. Ever prone to boredom, the Monkey does occasionally have a weakness for toying with others, and can react bitterly if they receive a dose of their own medicine.

Overall, this is a promising, potentially nurturing and fulfilling connection. Healthy doses of independence may help to manage the overabundance of shared energy. Indeed, these two signs may find they are able to withstand all manner of highs and lows that would turn others away, making for an inspiring, trusting, and dependable bond.

Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett (click for attribution/s)

Damon Albarn (3/23/1968, Aries Monkey), Jamie Hewlett (4/3/1968, Aries Monkey) : Musician Albarn and artist Hewlett were housemates when they formed the hugely successful, influential, and conceptually revolutionary fictional band, Gorillaz. Their relationship has included some serious disputes, and at one time they did not speak for three years. Hewlett described in 2017: "[Albarn and I] fight at everything. We’d fight over a worm if we found it at the same time. It’s hilarious, but it’s stupid. We’re in a restaurant, we fight. In a taxi, we fight. In front of people, we fight. It’s just one-upmanship. School for Scoundrels. He’s an intense person to be friends with, I mean. A lot is required."

Debbie Reynolds (4/1/1932, Aries Monkey), Elizabeth Taylor (2/27/1932, Pisces Monkey) : The two actors from Hollywood's Golden Age shared a noteworthy and lasting friendship. Close during the 1950s, they became estranged after Taylor scandalously began an affair and subsequently married Reynolds' husband, Eddie Fisher. Yet they reconciled a few years later, when they found themselves on the same ocean liner. Reynolds described, "I sent a note to [Taylor's] room, and she sent a note back to mine saying that we should have dinner and get this over with and have a good time. She’d moved along in her life, and so had I." They later co-starred in the film, These Old Broads (2021) (written by Reynolds' daughter, Carrie Fisher, with Elaine Pope). Their friendship lasted until Taylor died in 2011, bequeathing Reynolds a generous sapphire jewelry set. Reynolds described, "People always assume you’re going to carry a grudge, but I don’t do that. [Taylor and I] passed through that with time."

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson (click for attribution/s)

Rita Wilson (10/26/1956, Scorpio Monkey), Tom Hanks (7/9/1956, Cancer Monkey) : The two celebrated actors have been married since 1988. They have four children, including two from previous relationships. Speaking in 2019, Wilson said, "It’s like anything. We got married, we committed to each other, we love each other and we work hard at our relationship. Not only do we love each other, we really like each other, and we like being together, and we support each other and we keep the communication channels open. That’s always important."

21 Savage (10/22/1992, Libra Monkey), Young Nudy (12/17/1992, Sagittarius Monkey) : The two rappers are cousins who have collaborated multiple times, including on the tracks, "Air it Out" (2015), "EA" (2017), "4L" (2013), "Since When" (2018), "Mister" (2019), "Snitches & Rats" (2020), and "Peaches & Eggplants" (2023). Young Nudy described in 2018, "After I did 'Air it Out' with Savage people just started f— with me. But I built my own little lane in all this s—, you feel me? Most rappers like they’ll be up under a rapper instead of handling their business. They’re just sitting there patiently waiting, waiting for another motherf— to do something for them. That’s not me, I got all my s— on my own. My cousin, just on the music side, I don’t ask him for anything. I just straight went out there and did my motherf— thing. That’s all you got to do. If you want it, you got to do it. I had my few little f—-ups and s— but I got it right...We not Batman and Robin. We’re Batman and Superman."

Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato (click for attribution/s)

Demi Lovato (8/20/1992, Leo Monkey), Miley Cyrus (11/23/1992, Sagittarius Monkey) : The two singer/songwriter/actors share a longstanding close—and admittedly fractious at times—friendship. In 2012, Lovato described, "No matter how many times we fight, we will always be in each others' lives. Miley and I are very strong-headed, so when we fight, it's brutal and we're like, 'We're never going to be friends again!' Then two days later, we're like, 'I love you and I miss you!'" Eight years later, reconnecting over Instagram Live in the early days of the pandemic, Cyrus told Lovato, "Life is moving so fast that it’s usually hard to slow ourselves down and appreciate people in our lives, and you’ve been that person for me for so many years and we’ve been friends for so long. We can not talk forever and then some bulls— will go down, and I’ll just know you’re the person I want to reach out to. In dark times, it’s really important to reach towards those who are illuminated. I just think that you’re such a light — even if it took this crisis to get us connected again."
