Where signs are two steps apart in Western astrology, they form a Sextile interval. The shared energy here is famously easygoing and pleasurable, without much in the way of disturbance or pressure. This kind of influence can be especially appreciated by Scorpio and Virgo, neither of which is generally known for having a relaxed character at all.

Scorpio, of course, is one of the Western zodiac's true powerhouses, bringing passion, intensity, and determination to everything they do. But Virgo too is a highly impactful sign, virtually unparalleled in their ability to set objectives, strategize, and realize their goals. So the undemanding sympathy and tenderness of the Sextile connection may catch these two somewhat off-guard. The respective elements—Water for Scorpio and Earth for Virgo—are beautifully harmonious. All kinds of communications are thus likely to flow with surprising ease. Even thoughts that go largely unsaid can be relied on to be supportive, and sensitive to each other's needs.

Creative freedom can be somewhat elusive for Virgo, whose analytical outlook often favours regimented expression. In this breezy relationship, however, Scorpio's irrepressible creative instincts exert a liberating and encouraging influence. Scorpio, on the other hand, may find the scope and intensity of their perceptions a heavy load to bear. Virgo's solidity and methodical ways of understanding can provide a much needed steadying effect. All forms of personal and imaginative discovery are therefore favoured by this relationship.

Scorpio's productive Fixed modality forms a natural segue into the reflective Mutable modality of Virgo. Shared endeavours thus tend to progress effortlessly from inception to realization. In fact, if Virgo and Scorpio need to watch out for anything, it is that the ease of this relationship makes them underestimate its significance. Sometimes both signs may be drawn to relationships that are more complicated, indeed possibly less fulfilling, simply because they interpret more demanding energy as requiring their attention.

It would be a mistake to neglect the potential of this delightful connection, which in the right circumstances may prove one of the most inspiring and enjoyable in all of Western astrology.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Baz Luhrmann

Baz Luhrmann (9/17/1962, Virgo Tiger), Leonardo DiCaprio (11/11/1974, Scorpio Tiger) : The actor and director have been friends dating back to their first collaboration, Romeo + Juliet, in 1996. Speaking about casting DiCaprio in The Great Gatsby, Luhrmann described: "[DiCaprio] put me through the hoops in a really good way. It really was about working with Leonardo again and we were always trying to think of something to do and I had to wear him down. [H]onestly, I admire him for that because the thing about Leonardo, I mean he’s a friend, our families are friends, is that he looks for joy in life, but when it comes to two things, acting and the environment, he just doesn’t take it lightly."

Jamie Linden (9/3/1980, Virgo Monkey), Rachel McAdams (11/17/1978, Scorpio Horse) : The screenwriter and actor have been together since 2016 and have two children together. They have maintained almost complete privacy about their relationship. On one occasion, McAdams mentioned that, "We live such a gypsy life as actors, so [it’s great] being with someone who can be on the road as well." During the pandemic, she said their family, "[L]ive sort of out in the country, a little farm down the road, so we can go and look at the animals."

Tim Burton and Winona Ryder

Tim Burton (8/25/1958, Virgo Dog), Winona Ryder (10/29/1971, Scorpio Pig) : The actor and director have collaborated multiple times, including on the films Beetlejuice (1988), Edward Scissorhands (1990), and Frankenweenie (2012). Ryder has famously described how at her first audition with Burton, they chatted without her knowing who he was: "I was talking to someone in the waiting room for a while, about movies and music. And then, after about 30 minutes, I was like, ‘Do you know when this Tim Burton guy is showing up because I may be in the wrong building?’, and he was like, ‘Oh, that’s me’. I had no idea that a director could be so cool and down to earth." More recently, she said: "Tim is so special to me in so many ways and I do feel like I owe my career to him in a big way because of Beetlejuice...He’s a dear friend, a brilliant guy and a brilliant film-maker....It’s been 25 years since I first met him...I’ve always had an almost telepathic relationship with him, where he just has to make a tiny movement and I know exactly what he means."

Richard Gere (8/31/1949, Virgo Ox), Julia Roberts (10/28/1967, Scorpio Sheep) : The two actors co-starred memorably in the film Pretty Woman. Roberts has described how she personally pleaded with Gere to accept the role after he turned it down several times: "I just said, 'You have to do this movie. If you don't do this movie and it falls apart and I lose this job, it would just be terrible.'" Director Garry Marshall said in 2012, "[Y]ou can fake anything in this business except chemistry. When two people kiss, the audience knows if there's chemistry or not, and Richard and Julia had great chemistry."

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds

Blake Lively (8/25/1987, Virgo Rabbit), Ryan Reynolds (10/23/1976, Scorpio Dragon) : The two actors have been married since 2012 and have three children together. Lively has described: "[E]verything we do in life we do together. If I’m working on a movie, [Reynolds] helps me with my character; I do the same with him. Picking out a coffee table. What we’re going to eat. He’s a beautiful writer—he’s written a lot of stuff for us. And he’s got a great barometer and he knows me, so he will tell me if it’s not as good as it can be."

Adam Sandler (9/9/1966, Virgo Horse), Rob Schneider (10/31/1963, Scorpio Rabbit) : The two actors have known each other since the 1980s, and have so far collaborated on 18 movies. Asked about their relationship, Schneider described: "Thirty-something years. It’s going on our fifth decade. I think it’s making each other laugh. We still surprise each other, in how we can make each other laugh. It’s always a challenge. There’s a lot of trust. When you’re making a movie, you need to trust the people. Trust is there. You want to be around people who know you and don’t ask too many questions."

Tyga and Wiz Khalifa

Wiz Khalifa (9/8/1987, Virgo Rabbit), Tyga (11/19/1989, Scorpio Snake) : The two rappers are friends who have collaborated multiple times. After Tyga dropped out of the 2014 Under the Influence tour, Khalifa was quoted saying: "We cool, that’s the homie, and that was just a wack move." Tyga tweeted shortly afterward, "@wizkhalifa that's my dawg 4 life." Khalifa later explained: "I wasn't really upset. That's my homie, though, and when you friends, you gotta be able to say stuff out loud like that. [We spoke about it.] He was like, bro, I definitely should have hit you up. I got a little bit busy, I didn't know how to break it to you, so I gotta apologize and man up, and we'll make it right."

Dragon and Sheep

Compatibility overview

In the often polarized teachings of Eastern astrology, the match between the firsteast and secondeast is not usually classified as either very positive or very negative. While the profound differences between these two can cause some destabilizing tensions, there are also some important synergies, capable of yielding a rewarding and happy relationship.

In contrast to Western astrology, the Eastern zodiac often tends towards extremes of positivity or negativity. The combination of Dragon and Sheep, however, exists outside traditional notions of the best and worst matches.

It is true that these signs' respective Trine Families (like the elements in Western astrology)—which for the Dragon includes the Rat and Monkey, and for the Sheep the Rabbit and Pig—are not thought of as particularly harmonious. Indeed, there are some potentially disturbing combinations in this matrix (e.g., Sheep and Rat, or Dragon and Rabbit). There are, however, important affinities between Dragon and Sheep that can help them to build a successful relationship. First and foremost, the Dragon loves the limelight, while the Sheep is an artist to their bones. Hence there can be a natural synergy between the Sheep's comfortable command of abstract ideas and the Dragon's incredible talents for actualization. Also, when Sheep natives are at ease, they are quite capable of being the life of a party, and can revel in displaying their wit and charm. These talents play right into the Dragon's wheelhouse. Expect a Sheep and Dragon pairing to entertain like champions!

It must be said that there is potential for at least occasional tension. Dragon natives are typically larger than life at every hour of the day, and their instinctive methods tend towards brazen assertiveness and high-energy outbursts. The Sheep, on the other hand, can be fretful even in relatively weak cross-currents. Hence in this combination the Sheep may at times be completely overwhelmed, and the Dragon could find themselves vacillating between being overbearing and guilt-ridden. Successful partnerships may be able to offset these risks, however, through their mutual admiration, and by developing clear strategies to foster belonging and security.

In often radically different ways, these signs are both capable of pure brilliance in their chosen fields. By carving out independent spaces where they are comfortable growing in their own distinctive ways, the Dragon and Sheep may be able to unite for periods of great happiness and entertainment.

Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman

Reese Witherspoon (3/22/1976, Aries Dragon), Nicole Kidman (6/20/1967, Gemini Sheep) : The two actors are friends who co-starred in the successful series, Big Little Lies (2017-2019). Presenting Kidman with the Tribute Actress Award at the Gotham Awards in 2017, Witherspoon described: "[L]ast year, you guys, I was really lucky. I got the chance to work with [Kidman], finally. I managed also to coerce my line producer to make sure I was in the same makeup trailer with her at all times while she was getting ready so I could ask her anything I wanted to. She was captive for two hours and I asked her a lot of questions...I’ve worked in Hollywood for 25 years and I’ve never seen anyone transform so completely [into their role]...She gives you her whole heart, her whole soul, her whole body. Every side of a character. The light, the dark. She’s unwaveringly passionate. She gives of herself. She stands up for what she believes in and she pushes the envelope with every single role she takes. So there it is, now you know it. She’s a magician."

Carlos Moyá (8/27/1976, Virgo Dragon), Carolina Cerezuela (1/14/1980, Capricorn Sheep) : The professonal tennis player and Spanish actor married in 2011 and have three children together. Cerezuela has described: "For me, the success and wealth of my life has been having what I have always wanted, my family, and being able to dedicate myself to them...[Moya] is achieving wonderful professional successes, but he will tell you that his greatest achievement is always personal. He is very jealous of his privacy, very simple, you will never see him wanting to stand out or acknowledging merit. [translated from Spanish]"

Carice van Houten and Guy Pearce

Carice van Houten (9/5/1976, Virgo Dragon), Guy Pearce (10/5/1967, Libra Sheep) : The two actors have been in a relationship since around 2015. They have one child. The couple have avoided discussing their relationship publicly, but in 2016, Pearce posted photos of himself with van Houten and their child, with the caption: "Finally a nice quiet stroll out in the world."

James Coburn (8/31/1928, Virgo Dragon), Paula Murad Coburn (10/31/1955, Scorpio Sheep) : The two actors were married from 1993 until his death in 2002. Together they established the James and Paula Coburn Foundation, dedicated to improving the community through music, art and education. Speaking about their five-storey home in Beverley Hills, California, US, the designer Craig Wright said: "The house is a stage set. It's about their friends and the things they've found on their travels. It's the theater of their life."

Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson

Colin Farrell (5/31/1976, Gemini Dragon), Brendan Gleeson (3/29/1955, Aries Sheep) : The two Irish actors became good friends after they co-starred in the film, In Bruges (2008). They later collaborated in The Banshees of Inisherin (2022), with both being nominated for Academy Awards. In a joint interview, Farrell described about their first meeting: "I was sober about a year and a half or something like that...[Gleeson] said, 'Will you have a drink?’… and he went to a mini bar that looked like it hadn’t worked since the ‘50s and he opened it up and he pulled out two bottles of water and he went: ‘I have still or sparkling’. I swear to God, it was the sweetest thing. In that moment, the simplicity of that gesture told me, 'There’s a man that will look after you. There’s a man that will take care of you, there’s a man that considers people'." Gleeson said, "I’ve known a lot of kind men in my life, I’ve been lucky about that. My father was a kind man, and I knew kind friends who were there for you. I don’t find it odd but I knew immediately with [Farrell]. That’s why the friendship lasted. He’s somebody who considers people to an extraordinary degree."

Colin Friels (9/25/1952, Libra Dragon), Judy Davis (4/23/1955, Taurus Sheep) : The two Australian actors have been married since 1984 and have two children together. In 2018, Friels said, "I don't like to be sycophantic, but Judy's wonderful. She's great company, the best friend I've ever had. I love Jude. She's a bewdy."

Herbie Hancock and Joni Mitchell

Herbie Hancock (4/12/1940, Aries Dragon), Joni Mitchell (11/7/1943, Scorpio Sheep) : The two musicians are friends who collaborated on Mitchell's albums, Mingus (1979), and Both Sides Now (2000). Hancock's tribute album, River: The Joni Letters (2007), which comprised mostly Mitchell's compositions and to which she also contributed as a singer, was a surprise winner of the Grammy for Album of the Year in 2008. Mitchell described about their shared background: "We have the same problem from two different approaches. [Hancock] was going too far into pop and I was going too far into jazz. They accused him of commercialism and me like if you do that we're going to lose sales. [With the River album,] I guess Herbie found this challenging to do my music. Harmonically it's wide like jazz, so you got a lot of freedom for choice of notes ... but it's not within the laws of jazz." Hancock said: "[Mitchell] has the courage to express what she really feels and believes in. She's not afraid to openly voice her viewpoint on the crises of the era ... and she does it in such a beautiful and imaginative way. ... And so as a humanitarian, Joni Mitchell really reflects her belief in the dignity of human life and its relationship to our environment."

Courtney Love (7/9/1964, Cancer Dragon), Kurt Cobain (2/20/1967, Pisces Sheep) : The two celebrated rock musicians were famously married for almost two years before Cobain died in 1994. They had one child. In a 1992 interview, Love described: "[Cobain] thought I was too demanding, attention-wise. He thought I was obnoxious. I had to go out of my way to impress him."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The Sextile connection between firstwest and secondwest is perhaps the most uniquely joyful and low-maintenance in the Western zodiac, offering both any-kind-of-weather reliability and belly-laughs in spades. This injects welcome lightness to the dynamic between the firsteast and secondeast in this relationship, two signs who often admire and care about each other greatly, but can also experience a sense of not being fully appreciated or understood. Overall, this is an energy matrix that bodes well for trustworthiness and humor, accentuating the highs, and smoothing quickly over the lows.
