Taurus and Sagittarius

Compatibility overview

There is a strange, often wonderful mystery about the connection between firstwest and secondwest. In many respects, these two signs could hardly be more different, which explains why astrologers have traditionally been skeptical about their prospects. 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.

Dany Garcia and Dwayne Johnson

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

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."

Brad Pitt and George Clooney

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 have starred together in films including, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002), Burn After Reading (2008), and the Ocean's Eleven film series (2001, 2004, and 2007)—a new collaboration, Wolfs, is in production. 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." Meek Mill published a statement saying, "roc nation is my family...[Jay-Z's nickname] Hov saved my life b4...I’m not behind on my favors in life wit my people I’m good."

Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan

Channing Tatum (4/26/1980, Taurus Monkey), Jenna Dewan (12/3/1980, Sagittarius Monkey) : The two actors were married from 2009 to 2019 and had one child together. The statement announcing their break-up included: "We fell deeply in love so many years ago and have had a magical journey together. Absolutely nothing has changed about how much we love one another, but love is a beautiful adventure that is taking us on different paths for now."

Ox and Rabbit

Compatibility overview

They may often be overlooked, but firsteast and secondeast have the potential share a profoundly rewarding connection. Rather than being instinctively harmonious, these two tend to be drawn to each other's talents and character, so an independent and occasionally fractious dynamic is likely. Even so, there can be great warmth here, and lasting connections between these two may prove a source of great practical and emotional strength.

The four Trine Families that shape compatibility in the Chinese zodiac—much like the elements in Western astrology—divide into two streams. The families of the Ox (with the Rooster and Snake) and the Rabbit (with the Pig and Sheep) are in different streams from each other, which does cause some very challenging matches among this group (e.g., the Ox and Sheep, or the Rabbit and Rooster). Fortunately, the Ox and Rabbit themselves avoid the most troublesome parts of this energy, which opens up many rewarding and enjoyable synergies.

The Rabbit is among the most sensitive and artistic of all signs, and the strong-willed Ox often finds great fulfillment in providing encouragement and protection for their more delicate partner. The Ox's great fortitude and force of personality mean they almost inevitably clash with others on their path to success, so the Rabbit's conciliatory, diplomatic nature is both a natural asset for the relationship, and a source of joy and reassurance for both signs. The lurking friction in the energy here may well surface around issues of power and control.

The Rabbit's artistic spirit means they can be highly resistant to being told what to do, whereas the Ox often sees taking charge as a core part of their mission in life. Thus the Rabbit may feel overborne quite frequently, while the Ox can have the impression that their generosity with time and resources is being spurned. In their heart of hearts, these two probably have quite different ideas about what an ideal relationship looks like—the Ox is instinctively driven towards building secure strongholds where their loved ones can enjoy their protection, while the Rabbit tends to be a much freer spirit, more interested in exploring widely than tying themselves down.

Fortunately, this energy is unlikely to cause long-term feuds, and there is a good chance both signs will come to accept their different value systems with admiring resignation. With suitable understanding, there is ample scope for collaboration and genuine warmth between these two, which can benefit both long into the future.

Heidi Klum and Seal

Heidi Klum (6/1/1973, Gemini Ox), Seal (2/19/1963, Pisces Rabbit) : The model and musician were married from 2005 to 2012, and had three children together. Shortly after they began their relationship, Klum told Seal she was pregnant to her previous boyfriend. Seal described in 2008: "There was a pause of about 10 seconds and I said, 'It doesn't change the way I feel about you because the fact that you are here tells me that you think a lot about me.' People have said I was such a good person, so courageous. I honestly don't see it like that. I was the lucky one." After their break-up, Klum referred to them renewing their vows each year they were married, saying: "I think I got married eight times to Seal. I thought it would be kind of, like, fun. I thought it would be a fest of love. But you know, that doesn't work either. I tried, you can't say I didn't try!"

Stephen Eckelberry (12/8/1961, Sagittarius Ox), Karen Black (7/1/1939, Cancer Rabbit) : The actor/singer/songwriter and director/editor were together from 1983 until Black's death in 2013. They married in 1987 and adopted a daughter. Describing Black's posthumous song anthology, Dreaming of You (1971–1976), Eckelberry said: "When she acted, she was a consummate character actor. She was almost so good as a character actor that it harmed her ability to be a movie star because she was so totally enveloped in the role. So here, you have an opportunity to see the real Karen. The creativity that comes straight from her. It’s not the dialogue of some screenwriter, no matter how good they may be; it’s her own. And that is the greatest thing that comes out of this for me."

Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda
Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda (click for attribution/s)

Jane Fonda (12/21/1937, Sagittarius Ox), Lily Tomlin (9/1/1939, Virgo Rabbit) : The two actors have been close friends since they starred together in the movie, 9 to 5 (1980). Recently, they co-starred as the leads in the TV show Grace and Frankie (2015-2022). Fonda has described about their relationship: "Male friendships are facing outward, side-by-side, looking out, ‘Oh, look at her boobs,’ ‘God, what a great car.’ Women friendships are face-to-face, and it’s like, ‘Can you help me? I’m really lost,’ and you’ll take me into your arms. We’re not afraid to ask for help, we’re not afraid to express vulnerability [and] we just drill down to soul-level very fast." Tomlin said in 2023: "[Fonda's] always been the ‘take a leap of faith’ girl to me. I just loved her innocence and her need to make everybody OK with it, and do the right thing. And thank God I did do the movie [9 to 5]. It was a blessing."

Louis Armstrong (8/4/1901, Leo Ox), Bing Crosby (5/3/1903, Taurus Rabbit) : The jazz musician/actor and singer/actor shared a friendly relationship as two of the biggest stars in the early twentieth century. Crosby reportedly lobbied for Armstrong to receive prominent billing when they co-starred in the film, Pennies from Heaven (1936), a first for a Black actor in a mainstream movie. They later recorded the album Bing and Satchmo (1960). Although Armstrong famously said, "I’ve never been invited to the home of a movie star – not even Bing’s," Crosby wrote affectionately in the months before Armstrong's death in 1971: "I’m saddened to hear that you have been stricken again, Pops….I think of you often, and I will always recall, with pleasure, the times when we get together for an appearance, or a visit. They’re too infrequent, it seems to me, and when you get back to work, we’ll have to change all this."

Anjelica Huston and Jack Nicholson

Jack Nicholson (4/22/1937, Taurus Ox), Anjelica Huston (7/8/1951, Cancer Rabbit) : The two legendary actors were together for seventeen years until 1990. They co-starred in Prizzi's Honor (1985), for which Huston won an Academy Award. Nicholson continued to see other women during their relationship, and Huston wrote in her memoir, Watch Me (2014): "Occasionally, I’d find a piece of female apparel...or a trinket might get left behind in the soap dish. Sometimes I’d take to wearing the jewelry to see if anybody would come up and claim it, but that never happened." She also described: "There was a profound and devoted sense of loyalty with Jack. If he invested in you, or if he placed his heart with you, it meant something for life. Jack had a very healthy awareness and a self-approbation that you could enjoy with him. He saw the lunacy in situations and was generally at the center of it." In 1980, Nicholson said , "I certainly would say [Huston]’s the love of my life."

Daphna Kastner (4/17/1961, Aries Ox), Harvey Keitel (5/13/1939, Taurus Rabbit) : The two actors married secretly in 2001 and have a son together. Keitel has described how they first met at a party in the 1980s, but after two dinners Kastner turned him down. Seventeen years afterwards, they met again at a party and stayed together: "Seven weeks later, I was going to a film festival in Italy and I asked her to come with me. She said, 'Yes,’ and on the flight, I said, ‘What do you think about getting married?’ She gave a great answer: she said, ‘OK.'"

Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley

Gene Simmons (8/25/1949, Virgo Ox), Paul Stanley (1/20/1952, Aquarius Rabbit) : The two musicians and founding members of the band Kiss have been collaborators for over 50 years. Stanley described in 2021: "[W]e're very different, but we certainly share a pride in what we do, a work ethic...Even when things have been tough...we always were family...I'm very, very lucky to have him. And I don't necessarily agree with everything he does. But does anybody?" Simmons said in 2017: "[T]ime is the ultimate judge, and the fact that [Stanley and I have] been together, at this point for over 40 years says volumes. There have been times where I’ve been very angry and resentful — and I’m not saying momentarily — I’m saying for long periods of time. But, in time, everything falls in place and you get a better perspective — hopefully. If you don’t expect from someone what’s not possible, then you won’t be disappointed."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

Frequently as mysterious to the signs themselves as to outsiders, the Quincunx connection between firstwest and secondwest has the potential to translate ostensibly dramatic differences into a stimulating and exciting connection. This quality of enchantment may be especially useful here, for although the firsteast and secondeast can rely on each other for admiration and kindheartedness, they may need some help developing close trust and affection.
