Western Zodiac
Virgo and Aquarius
Compatibility overview
The match between firstwest and secondwest is one of Western astrology's most puzzling. Neither directly confrontational nor in consistent harmony, these two signs tend to approach each other with mystified curiosity. True, it is sometimes claimed they have almost nothing in common. But such a limited interpretation misses the great potential of this combination, especially for creative enterprises.

Aquarius and Virgo are five signs apart, which makes this pairing a Quincunx (or inconjunct) aspect. The Quincunx is generally a minor aspect, so from the beginning the energy here is softer and more subtle than other influences can be.
The classical view is that the 150° angle between these two signs means they are completely foreign to one another. This will likely be true to an extent, because the respective elements are famously contrary. Where the Air sign Aquarius is fundamentally abstract and universal in outlook, Virgo is an Earth sign with their feet planted firmly on the ground. Early conversations may thus suggest little potential for common ground. Aquarius' cerebral attitudes, especially their unquestioning acceptance of others and tendency towards unorthodox behaviour, may appear a world away from Virgo's goal-oriented planning and strict adherence to structure. Importantly, however, these differences are often more quizzical than unsettling. If the relationship deepens, fascinating synergies may be revealed.
Aquarius' Fixed, productivity-focused modality is a wonderful match for Virgo's more reflective, Mutable nature. Hence, while the instincts of these signs may be radically different, they have the potential to collaborate extremely effectively. They should probably take responsibility for different aspects of any project, since working hands-on together may bring their polarized instincts to a head. But if they can compartmentalize effectively, their joint efforts will benefit hugely from their divergent energies. Creative ventures especially are favoured by this Quincunx energy.
If Aquarius and Virgo understand just how different their impulses are, and make sure to address problems as they arise rather than allowing them to smoulder in the background, this connection can be a true secret weapon for professional and even intimate relationships.

Compatibility overview
While the Chinese zodiac is well known for extreme judgements about negative or positive matches, the combination of firsteast and secondeast tends not to attract much direct attention. In fact, although this match involves some potentially unsettling energy, there are also fine harmonies at play. Relationships between these contrasting souls may thus prove surprisingly effective.

The 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac are divided into four Trine Families. Relationships between the four families tend to follow patterns similar to the elements in Western astrology. Truth be told, the respective families of the Pig (with the Sheep and Rabbit) and the Ox (with the Snake and Rooster) are generally regarded as not very harmonious, with some of the matches between them quite precarious (e.g., the Pig and the Snake, or the Ox and the Sheep). Fortunately for the Ox and Pig themselves, however, there are some powerful affinities that can aid in making their relationship enjoyable and successful.
The personality of the Pig is associated strongly with homely qualities of comfort and generosity, which can knit superbly with the Ox's defining desire to build security for themselves and their loved ones. Also, the Ox may be characteristically the most determined and hard-working of all the Eastern signs, but the Pig can also be exceptionally productive when they are motivated and relaxed. Hence these two may form a strong bond, whether in family, social, or professional contexts, based on mutual admiration and advancement.
Difficulties between these two are perhaps most likely to stem from tension between the rigidity of the Ox and the trusting naivety of the Pig. In the eyes of the Ox, the Pig may at times seem too easily trodden on or manipulated to deserve respect. The Pig, on the other hand, may sometimes find the Ox to be an unpleasantly blunt instrument, which is likely to draw the Pig into various forms of escapism, punctuated by the odd fit of pique. Overall, there is a need for some independence here, to make sure that over-familiarity is not at risk of breeding contempt.
Given the space they need, however, these two together are quite capable of forming a shared vision about what they can achieve together, then working tirelessly as a partnership to translate their shared aspirations into reality.

Keira Knightley (3/26/1985, Aries Ox), James Righton (8/25/1983, Virgo Pig) : The actor and musician began a relationship in 2011 and married in 2013. They have two children together. Speaking about their different levels of earnings, Knightley has responded: "That’s what our national newspapers are telling girls – that you have to feel guilty about doing well if it’s making a man feel uncomfortable, which it doesn’t with my husband and it didn’t with my dad. But yet our society is telling us that’s what it should be."
George Clooney (5/6/1961, Taurus Ox), Talia Balsam (3/5/1959, Pisces Pig) : The two actors were married from 1989 to 1992, before Clooney embarked on twenty years of world-famous bacherlorhood. Both have continued to speak positively about the other, with Clooney saying, "[I] married the one girl that I truly loved and had loved for years," and, "I probably — definitely — wasn't someone who should have been married at that point. I just don't feel like I gave Talia a fair shot. I was responsible for the failure of that marriage." After appearing in HBO's Divorce (2016-2019), Balsam said: "If you're trying to compare [Clooney] to Thomas Haden Church's character, not at all. Absolutely, George is charming. He remains charming. I've worked with him."
Rooney Mara (4/17/1985, Aries Ox), Kate Mara (2/27/1983, Pisces Pig) : The sisters are both award-winning actors. Kate Mara described: "[F]rom the time I was 14 ‘til, I think, my sister [Rooney] started acting when I was 20, 21, I didn’t have someone to share this craziness with. So when she became an actor, we actually lived together in my apartment for the first year or two. We would both go on auditions and come home and talk about the terror of certain auditions and funny stories and so it just became something super special that you can actually bond with a sibling with which is very rare."
Tabitha King (3/24/1949, Aries Ox), Stephen King (9/21/1947, Virgo Pig) : The two authors have been married since 1971. After an Associated Press article referred to a donation having been made by "Stephen King and his wife", Tabitha published a statement saying, "Wife is a relationship or status. It is not an identity...You could have made other choices. You could have referred to me as OfStephen. Or His Old Lady. Or His-Ball-And-Chain."
Paul Shaffer (11/28/1949, Sagittarius Ox), David Letterman (4/12/1947, Aries Pig) : The talk show host and musician famously collaborated on both Late Night with David Letterman (1982–1993) and The Late Show with David Letterman (1993–2015). Letterman described: "We did 6,000 shows together, and [Shaffer] was the most important part of my life for every one of those 6,000 shows. Whether the show was good, not good, mediocre, ugly, awful, Paul Shaffer, you can count on him and the fantastic music. The thing that I miss most, other than the friends that I worked with, is not having the great privilege of live music every night."

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.
