Characteristically for the Earth signs they are, natives of Virgo tend to have a powerful belief in the virtues of stability, dependability, and effective organization. Indeed, Virgos often believe so strongly in their core values, they cannot believe why anyone would feel differently from them! A connection between two Virgos thus begins on an immediately sure footing.

These two will tend to agree—at least substantially—on the need to face pressing challenges, what those challenges are, and how to formulate effective answers. This potential for consensus can contribute great happiness to a relationship between Virgos. When faced with opposition or a lack of understanding from other signs, they may appear somewhat dour and humourless. But when two Virgos team up together, there is likely to be no shortage of levity. The same analytical skills, attention to detail, and diligence can be as pleasurable in the context of, say, recreational word games or puzzle-solving as they are in more serious professional contexts such as publishing or teaching.

As ever with own-sign matches, there is likely to be an excess of some qualities and a dearth of others, which may contribute instability from time to time. Two Virgos share the Mutable modality, and this may cause some claustrophobic effects. If, for example, these two arrive at different strategies for the future, or have conflicting takes on the need for secrecy or selective disclosure, then serious brooding or conflict could ensue. Thankfully Virgos can be as determined about resolving conflicts as they are about everything else. Although it may not always be pretty, it would be rare for disputes not to get sorted out eventually.

Overall, the strong commonalities and shared commitment to resolving problems here mean this relationship has strong prospects for success in a wide variety of contexts.

And then I realized that it was our love story."

They had one child, and were also frequent collaborators. Yasbeck described in 2022: "[Ritter] was an excellent person to have on a set and when anybody who's an actor, including me, says, 'Hey, you remind me of John Ritter, how you talk to that camera person or how you're relating with the guest stars,' that is the highest compliment...[He] just didn't turn it on when the audience was there. You were entertained all day long and your ego was fed in an appropriate way. He loved show business. He was almost like a conductor that was also being the symphony. I don't know how he did it, but it was amazing."

Jimmy Connors (9/2/1952, Virgo Dragon), Patti McGuire (9/5/1951, Virgo Rabbit) : The multiple-grand-slam-winning tennis player and model/film producer first met at the Playboy Mansion.

You couldn’t be cooler.'...I’ve known her for a couple years now, and we’ve had a really beautiful mentor-mentee relationship...[Recently] I sat on her hotel room balcony for a couple of hours and she just was really honest and open and warm and lovely. Right now, I have fewer artist friendships than I’ve ever had, but the ones that I do have are actual genuine friendships. I put her in that category."

Beginning with the Grammy-winning monster hit, 'Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)', The-Dream has contributed to each of Beyoncé's subsequent albums, including 14 of the 16 tracks on Renaissance (2022). The-Dream has described: "When thinking about an artist like Beyoncé, I want to try to consider all the different ways this could reach people. I want the song to matter to Beyoncé standing onstage, the person in the front row of the show and that person who’s in the rafters, who barely made it in, got a ticket from a friend last minute. I have to write for each one of them."

Horse and Horse

Compatibility overview

This is a high-intensity match, by turns exhilarating, inspiring, competitive, furious, and admiring. Two Horse signs will have plenty in common when it comes to ambition, commitment, and honor. But the Horse's freewheeling style demands plenty of independence and attention all to itself. Effective strategies for calmness and sharing are a must, if this match is to realize its potential for a rewarding bond.

Chinese astrology relies at heart on the concept of the four Trine Families. The family of the Horse (with the Dog and Tiger) is associated with humanitarian ambition—a powerful drive to achieve success, but without compromising a sense of integrity or generosity of spirit.

Two Horses will likely recognize in each other a kindred resolution to achieve great things, especially in ways that attract attention. Mutual admiration, probably tinged with envy, is highly likely. The Horse loves to take center-stage, and is a natural in fields like performing arts, sports, or politics. Mentoring, inspiring, collaborating—any kind of shared endeavor that means these two can spur each other to greater accomplishments will exert a powerful attraction for them both. Verbal and physical encounters can be expected to go a mile a minute, as if the two Horse natives are in a race to impact each other and those around them. To be sure, this much aspirational energy can sometimes be hard to handle.

All own-sign matches struggle with a lack of balance. For two Horses, it can be especially difficult at times to truly work together or take turns. When two signs are so closely allied in their hearts' desires, and so instinctively energized and independent, they need to watch that their magnetism does not turn to repulsion. Fortunately, the respect here usually runs very deep. Strategies that promote calmness and sharing may be necessary, but they can also come quite naturally. The Horse is capable of attractively self-deprecating humor, and often finds time alone nourishing rather than lonely. Such techniques may be invaluable for this match.

With care and restraint, the best qualities of this combination can produce a dependable and warm relationship, which pushes both parties ahead on their respective quests for success.

Andrew Rannells and Tuc Watkins

Andrew Rannells (8/23/1978, Virgo Horse), Tuc Watkins (9/2/1966, Virgo Horse) : The two actors have been together since they acted together in the Broadway production of The Boys in the Band in 2019. About announcing their relationship on Instagram, Watkins described: "I just couldn’t not talk about it anymore. It was just out of excitement. It was just joy. You’re always a little trepidatious to put things that are intimate about your life out there for the world to see, but I just couldn't help it anymore just because I liked him so darn much."

Margot Robbie (7/2/1990, Cancer Horse), Tom Ackerley (6/13/1990, Gemini Horse) : The actor and film producer have been together since 2014 and married in 2016. Robbie has described: "We were friends for so long. I was always in love with him, but I thought, 'Oh, he would never love me back. Don't make it weird, Margot. Don't be stupid and tell him that you like him. And then it happened, and I was like, 'Of course we're together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.'"

Harrison Ford and Sean Connery

Harrison Ford (7/13/1942, Cancer Horse), Sean Connery (8/25/1930, Virgo Horse) : The two actors memorably played father and son in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, despite an age difference of only 12 years. Ford joked, "I am so much younger-looking than I really am, and he’s so much older-looking than he is. But if you ask him, he’ll say he acted it." Although the younger actor had nothing but praise for Connery's contribution: "It was amazing for me in how far [Connery] got into the script and went after exploiting opportunities for character. His suggestions to George [Lucas] at the writing stage really gave the character and the picture a lot more complexity and value than it had in the original screenplay."

James Franco (4/19/1978, Aries Horse), Tyrese Gibson (12/30/1978, Capricorn Horse) : The two actors starred together in the 2006 film, Annapolis. Gibson has expressed frustration about the experience, saying: "James Franco is a Method actor. I respect Method actors, but he never snapped out of character. Whenever we'd have to get in the ring for boxing scenes, and even during practice, the dude was full-on hitting me. I was always like, 'James, lighten up, man. We're just practicing.' He never lightened up."

Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles

Aretha Franklin (3/25/1942, Aries Horse), Ray Charles (9/23/1930, Libra Horse) : The two legendary soul musicians met for the first time in 1971, during a three-night run of shows by Franklin at the Fillmore East theater in New York. The performances have been hailed by Rolling Stone at number 12 on their list of the greatest concerts in the last 50 years. The magazine described: "On the last night, Franklin pulled Ray Charles out of the crowd. Though they’d just met that day, the two traded piano and vocal parts on an epic 19-minute version of 'Spirit in the Dark.' 'She turned the thing into church,” Charles said later. 'I mean, she’s on fire.'"

Helmut Kohl (4/3/1930, Aries Horse), Angela Merkel (7/17/1954, Cancer Horse) : The two German Chancellors once shared a close mentorship, with Kohl famously referring to Merkel as his "Mädchen" or "girl". However, they never reconciled after a rift led to Merkel taking over leadership of their Christian Democrats party. Kohl later described Merkel as the "traitor general" and accused her of "destroying my Europe".


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

Both Western and Chinese astrology love trine connections, which are the basis of the Western elements and the Chinese Trine Families. Here, these two natives of both firstwest and the year of the firsteast share a common element and are members of the same Trine Family. Hence their connection is strongly dependable, and they tend to have a common perspective on life. The challenge is to develop strategies for excitement and stability, to redress the potential lack of difference, and the excess-versus-deficit conundrum.
