As different as Western and Chinese astrology are, both share a great appreciation for Trine matches, where signs are four steps apart. In the Western zodiac, one such Trine match comprises the Earth signs, Capricorn and Virgo. The Earth element is associated with stability, patience, and practicality. Right from the get-go, Capricorn and Virgo will often appreciate that they are kindred spirits.
Capricorn's gift for strategy and power dynamics will resonate powerfully with Virgo, just as Virgo's analytical skills and goal-focus are highly desirable to Capricorn. Indeed, the respective abilities here are so compatible that the potential for material or social successes is extraordinary. Capricorn's Cardinal modality, an always-beginning influence that drives Capricorn's continual innovation, blends perfectly with Virgo'sMutable, what-happens-next? energy. Collaborations of all and any kinds are thus highly favored. Not to mention that these two share delightfully compatible senses of humor.
Problems for these signs in other contexts will rarely surface here, and when they do they can usually be dealt with effectively. Virgo's enthusiasm for and adeptness at problem-solving are an excellent tonic for Capricorn's occasional though serious pessimism. Capricorn's social awareness and patience mean Virgo's tendency for inflexibility or brusqueness will usually be short-lived or managed with sensitivity.
In short, this is an ideal combination for any kind of professional, familial, or intimate relationship, capable of providing nourishment and pleasure for a lifetime.

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."

Final Words
A Trine combination, one of a very small few who share perfectly harmonious elements and modalities, firstwest and secondwest are born allies who can usually be trusted to engage, excite, and depend on each other from the get-go. The pairing of firsteast and secondeast provides a more equivocal influence, one based more on particular affinities between their characters than general good fortune, which can be more conducive to admiring comrades than bosom friendship. Overall, though, the superb influence of firstwest and secondwest creates the conditions for all kinds of successes here.
