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 (click for attribution/s)

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."

Brad Pitt and George Clooney (click for attribution/s)

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."

Simply a wonderful match!

The central concept underlying Chinese astrology is that of the four Trine Families. One of these families consists of the Rooster and Snake (along with their most trusted friend, the Ox). Binding these signs together is a spirit of social affairs and commerce—an intuition for reading the tea leaves when it comes to any kind of enterprise or business, and a determination to follow through once opportunities are identified. The Rooster and Snake are likely to catch each other's attention at once.

These are two of the most visually engaging signs in the Chinese zodiac, the Rooster with their fashionista's panache, the Snake with their beguiling, mystical allure. But as soon as they get to talking, they are likely to discover an affinity that goes way deeper than appearances. The Rooster's incomparable flair for understanding social dynamics knits beautifully with the Snake's sixth sense for the philosophical side of human affairs. In no time, these two are likely to be sharing and enhancing each other's insightful commentaries about the state of things, in an atmosphere filled with admiration and enjoyment. Arising out of such interactions, there is a strong prospect of clear and productive direction.

Separately, these two can get overly caught up in themselves—both are prone to conceitedness, after all, and the Rooster's tendency towards self-involvement is matched by the Snake's weakness for somewhat miserly self-indulgence. Together, however, not only will these two usually be able to brush off each other's occasionally difficult traits, but they are likely to powerfully motivate one another to translate their talents into actualization and achievement. Not for nothing is the Rooster celebrated for their extraordinary capacities and resourcefulness, and the Snake too can draw on exceptional powers of commitment and concentration when they free themselves from distraction.

Don't be surprised if these two have each other's backs through thick and thin, nor if their relationship proves an enduring source of brilliant accomplishments and intense enjoyment.

Benjamin Millepied (6/10/1977, Gemini Snake), Natalie Portman (6/9/1981, Gemini Rooster) : The actor and dancer met on the set of the film, Black Swan (2010), for which Portman received an Academy Award. They have been married since 2012 and have two children together. Portman has described: "I met my husband on [the set of Black Swan], so I think I was in, like, dreamland … We had a whole, like, he was teaching me to dance. You know, one of those romantic [stories] … It was definitely exciting and fun. It was beautiful. I don't know about instant. It was like I really got to know him and that was when it seemed like, 'Oh this is the person.'"

Elizabeth Hurley (6/10/1965, Gemini Snake), Shane Warne (9/13/1969, Virgo Rooster) : The actor and cricketer were together in the early 2010s and announced a short-lived engagement in 2011. Warne described later: "I was more in love with Elizabeth than I’d realised I could be. I miss the love we had. My years with Elizabeth were the happiest of my life. I wanted to be better with her."

Jakob Dylan and Bob Dylan (click for attribution/s)

Bob Dylan (5/24/1941, Gemini Snake), Jakob Dylan (12/9/1969, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two musicians are father and son. Wanting to protect the privacy of his legendary father, who in 2016 was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for his songwriting, Jakob Dylan said little about their relationship until 2005. Then, Jakob described: "When I was a kid, he was a god to me for all the right reasons. Other people have put that tag on him in some otherworldly sense. I say it as any kid who admired his dad and had a great relationship with him. He never missed a single Little League game I had. He's collected every home-run ball I ever hit. And he's still affectionate to me. Maybe he doesn't want people to know that. But I'll tell you, because it's my interview."

Kevin James (4/26/1965, Taurus Snake), Ray Romano (12/21/1957, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two comedian/actors lived together before they each achieved success, and later continued to guest-star on each other's long-running TV shows, Everybody Loves Raymond (1996-2005), and The King of Queens (1998-2007). In a joint interview, Romano said: "We bonded over getting turned down for every audition we went on." James added: "We tried to play a lot of golf, because we didn't have a lot of work."

Jay-Z and Kanye West (click for attribution/s)

Kanye West (6/8/1977, Gemini Snake), Jay-Z (12/4/1969, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two rappers are longtime friends who have collaborated on multiple occasions, including the tracks "Otis", "Never Let Me Down", "Izzo (H.O.V.A)", "Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Remix)", "Run This Town", "’03 Bonnie & Clyde", "Clique", "Heart of the City (Ain't No Love)", and "Encore". Although the two have faced challenges in their relationship, Jay-Z described: "That’s my brother, we’re beyond friends. Really, like literally, my little brother is Kanye. And like your little brother, things happen sometimes...It’s like that. That’s still your sibling forever. I’ve watched Kanye from without an album. The thing that I respect about him is that he’s the same person. Like, he interrupted our studio session, stood on a table and started rapping. And we were like, ‘Could you please get down,’ and he was like ‘No, I’m the savior of Chicago!’ He didn’t have a record."

Dr. Dre (2/18/1965, Aquarius Snake), Ice Cube (6/15/1969, Gemini Rooster) : The two founding members of the rap group, NWA, formed a close collaboration and friendship in the 1980s. After a period of disputation after NWA broke up, in 2016 they appeared together on stage for the first time in 27 years. Cube described: "We just went forward. We're gonna always be like that. I don't care if we don't talk to each other for 10 years, when we see each other, it's gonna be like yesterday."

Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres (click for attribution/s)

Oprah Winfrey (1/29/1954, Aquarius Snake), Ellen DeGeneres (1/26/1958, Aquarius Rooster) : The two talk show hosts are close friends, who are also neighbours in Montecito, California. In a 2021 interview, Winfrey told Degeneres: "[Y]ou have shared yourself, the expression of your talent, in a way that has made people feel so much better about themselves all these years, that is what you’ve done, Ellen. It’s so much more than the show...Every single person in your audience who has been touched by you, by your laughter, by your jokes, by your kindness, by your sharing, by your being, that’s your legacy." Degeneres replied: "I love you so much, Oprah. I am, as I say all the time, I am so honored to call you a friend. You are the wisest person I know and I just adore you."
