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.

Rooster and Tiger
Compatibility overview
Although Chinese astrology is often split between polar extremes, the combination of the firsteast and secondeast is more nebulous. There are some quite stark differences between these signs, which can make it challenging to develop long-term closeness. However, mutual admiration and warmth are common, and may produce significant lasting benefits.

Compatibility in the Chinese zodiac depends mainly on the four Trine Families. Relations between the Rooster's family (with the Ox and Snake) and the Tiger's (with the Dog and Horse) are generally quite difficult, and some combinations in this group are especially risky (e.g., the Rooster and the Dog, or the Tiger and the Snake). Fortunately, the Rooster and Tiger enjoy synergies that make it easy to establish friendly relations.
Notably, strong visual appeal is characteristic of both the Rooster and Tiger. Whilst their modes of presentation may be different—the Rooster is known for fashion-conscious pizzazz, where the Tiger leans more towards noble authority—both possess a commanding social presence. They are likely to notice and approve of one another before they have spoken a word. These signs also share a commitment to hard work and excellence that can be highly complementary, at least in the short term. The Rooster may be dazzling in self-presentation, but they are also virtually indefatigable when they apply themselves to a task. The Tiger is more inconsistent—their fearlessness makes them prone to injuring themselves, and they can be distracted when angry or frustrated—yet they are equally capable of prodigious, incisive efforts when they are motivated and healthy. Hence both signs are likely to be deeply impressed by the extent and quality of what the other is able to achieve.
Tensions between the Rooster and Tiger often do not rise to the surface, and are more likely to produce a respectful distance than outright conflict. The Rooster is highly attuned to social dynamics, a context in which they often manage a unique role as student and master at the same time. The Tiger, by contrast, tends to think of their noble ideals as transcending social currencies or the fashions of the day. Thus, though they might rarely say so out loud, the Rooster can find the Tiger to be somewhat judgmental or irrelevant, while the Tiger may think of the Rooster as facile or lacking true conviction. These signs also tend to be very caught up in their own worlds. With each being quite self-involved, they can find it difficult to meet in the middle beyond occasional collaborations or meetings. Happily, the commonalities here mean that time spent together is usually enjoyable and rewarding, and both Rooster and Tiger are likely to know when enough is enough.
With sensitivity and plenty of independence, supportive warmth and enjoyable banter can be a hallmark of this relationship.
Celebrity Rooster/Tiger Pairings*

Jodie Foster (11/19/1962, Scorpio Tiger), Alexandra Hedison (7/10/1969, Cancer Rooster) : The actor and photographer have been married since 2014. Though the couple are famously private, after Foster was nominated for a Golden Globe for The Mauritanian (2021), Hedison posted a photo with the caption: "What happens in quarantine stays in quarantine. Every day I'm a proud wife but today you get a special shout out in the remote land of [Instagram]...I'll have to show you my phone for you to see this but still...I'm shouting from the rooftops."
Rebecca Miller (9/15/1962, Virgo Tiger), Daniel Day-Lewis (4/29/1957, Taurus Rooster) : The actor and filmmaker/novelist have been married since 1996 and have two children. Though they have rarely discussed their relationship publicly, Miller mentioned in a 2018 interview that she had refused to allow the famously method-acting Day-Lewis to stay in character at home: "I was just like, 'That’s not going to happen.' It’s good to at least maintain one personality for your child." She also referred to a recent trip to their home in Ireland: "[W]e went and got hot whiskeys in a pub in Ireland. And we walked up a mountain and then we got our hot whiskeys and then we got our scones with cream. That’s the kind of thing of just simplicity and fun."
Miles Davis (5/26/1926, Gemini Tiger), Quincy Jones (3/14/1933, Pisces Rooster) : The jazz icon and music producer were longtime friends who collaborated on Davis' final live performance, later released as Miles & Quincy Live at Montreux (1993). The concert marked the first and only time Davis ever revisited music from his back catalogue. Jones described: "I had been trying for 15 years to get him to do that. I've known Miles all my life, we were close friends; I was there in the recording session in 1958 when they did Miles Ahead (1958) with Gil Evans conducting—it was amazing. I said, 'Dewey, this one we've got to do a tribute to.' We kept talking and talking, we were at his home in Central Park West—he was upstairs with Flavor Flav putting an album together—he says 'man this [project] is going to be expensive... and it's hard to play.' Finally, I got him to say yes—I know Miles—and it was fantastic. Man, he played very softly, with no vibrato or anything. That night, I waved and said 'Miles Davis' [to the crowd] and he waved his towel at this audience—I've never seen him do that before—and he growled 'screw you' at me."
Mel Brooks (6/28/1926, Cancer Tiger), David Lynch (1/20/1946, Aquarius Rooster) : The producer and director formed a famously unlikely partnership when they collaborated to make Lynch's script into the award-winning film, The Elephant Man (1980). Speaking about an early meeting, Brooks described: "I wasn't expecting [Lynch] to be so polite, but I was rather impressed. He made sense and was very savvy about the changes he wanted. It was a problem: how does a guy who is known for the best fart jokes in cinema go on to make The Elephant Man? I had all along the line assiduously kept my name from the project. But after this one conversation, David knew I had more to me. I guess it was the outsider aspect that appealed to him. And that's where I think we met, mentally." Lynch said later: "[Brooks] backed me in ways you can’t imagine — people wanted to change this, do this, give me all kinds of hell — never would Mel let it happen...It put me on the map, it was a great experience…it was just a blessing!"
Queen Elizabeth II (4/21/1926, Taurus Tiger), Prince Philip (6/10/1921, Gemini Rooster) : The Queen and Prince Philip were married for 73 years until his death in 2021. According to a report in The Guardian, published when their engagement was announced in 1947: "It is clearly a marriage of choice, not of arrangement...There have been many royal engagements in the past, but it would be hard to find a precise parallel for that of an Heiress Presumptive and still more for her choice as partner of one who is, technically at least, a British commoner."
Marilyn Monroe (6/1/1926, Gemini Tiger), Yves Montand (10/13/1921, Libra Rooster) : The two actors had a well-publicized affair during the making of one of Monroe's last films, Let's Make Love (1960). Montand later described: "[Marilyn] had an immense character, an extremely strong nature—even though, in life as on the screen, she had that little girl voice. The fascination she exercised and her seductive power were present almost without her knowing it...She had no need to check the seam of her stocking to give you ideas: when she talked about the rain or the fine weather or the cafeteria menu, she had the same power...Marilyn was a being apart, in the sense that it was her own inner light that drove her into the spotlight. If you believed in God you’d say that God alone could generate such a light—a light beyond the control of those it burns in."

Final Words
Frequently as mysterious to the signs themselves as to outsiders, the Quincunx connection between firstwest and secondwest has the potential to translate ostensibly dramatic differences into a stimulating and exciting connection. 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.
