Virgo and Libra

Compatibility overview

As adjacent signs in the Western zodiac, firstwest and secondwest have traditionally had a somewhat dubious reputation. Orthodox thinking has been that they are like stereotypical real-life neighbors—respectful but nervous, and wary of getting too close. Give this relationship time, however, and the skeptics could be proved very wrong. Beneath the surface, there is ample scope for an enduring and nourishing bond.

Signs that are next to each other around the Western zodiac wheel form a Semi-Sextile interval. This connection is one of only two minor influences (with the Quincunx), which means that the energy is softer, less determinative, than with other matches. Hence from the beginning Libra and Virgo typically share a freedom that is partly liberating, and partly lacking in direction.

Semi-Sextile energy has a reputation for hesitancy and standoffishness. Certainly the elements here can be a source of ambivalence. Libra, an Air sign through and through, tends to be highly intellectual, fascinated by all things cerebral. Sometimes accused of indecisiveness, Libra's raison d'être is to leave no conceptual stone unturned. They tend to become quite cross if forced into any course of action they think is premature, or that they have not had time to reflect upon from multiple perspectives. Virgo, on the other hand, tends to espouse the values of determination, stability, and certainty that are the hallmarks of their Earth element. While they excel at organization and structure, Virgos can be uncomfortable with anything they perceive as over-thinking that might impede the steady momentum of progress. In this combination, Libra may struggle with what they perceive as the rigidity of Virgo, as if they are being locked in to ways of being that are too restrictive or narrow. Virgo, on the other hand, can find the breadth and energy of Libra's thinking disconcerting and confusing. It may seem hard for Virgo to establish the kind of firm foothold they need to make progress.

Given time to develop, however, this match has the hidden weapon of deeply compatible modalities. Libra's Cardinal energy is not surprisingly concentrated on beginnings. Libra typically loves nothing more than to brainstorm, to initiate and create. As well as being infectiously enthusiastic, they can be brilliantly original. This complements perfectly Virgo's Mutable energy, with its intrinsic concern for consequences, implications, and after-effects. Virgo's reflective approach to structure and organization can thus guide and control Libra's more effervescent brand of intellectual exploration, helping them to avoid procrastination or time-wasting. Libra's spirited and expansive mental explorations, meanwhile, can prevent Virgo becoming too dour or inflexible. Collaborations here can thus prove marvelously creative, and are likely to be successfully realized.

Some independence to counter the challenging elements will probably benefit this pairing. Libra and Virgo are both known for being moody from time to time, so conflicts could feel serious, even if they prove relatively fleeting. The great promise of this Semi-Sextile connection, though, is how it can build in strength over time. Given the time and space they need to blossom, this pairing could achieve terrific successes, and forge a very warm and dependable bond.

Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith

Jada Pinkett Smith (9/18/1971, Virgo Pig), Will Smith (9/25/1968, Libra Monkey) : The two actors have been married since 1997 and have two children together. They have attracted publicity owing to an acknowledged "open" relationship. In 2021, Will Smith was quoted as saying, "The freedoms that we’ve given one another and the unconditional support, to me, is the highest definition of love."

Leonard Bernstein (8/25/1918, Virgo Horse), Jerome Robbins (10/11/1918, Libra Horse) : Composer/conductor/pianist Bernstein and choreographer/dancer Robbins were longtime collaborators, whose work together included the musical, West Side Story (first produced on Broadway in 1957), and the ballets, Fancy Free (first produced in New York in 1944), and Dybbuk (first produced in New York in 1974). Bernstein once described, "I remember all my collaborations with Jerry in terms of one tactile bodily feeling, which is his hands on my shoulders, composing with his hands on my shoulders. This may be metaphorical but it’s the way I remember it. I can feel him standing behind me saying, yes, now just about four more beats there . . . yes, that’s it."

Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Justin Mikita

Justin Mikita (9/10/1985, Virgo Ox), Jesse Tyler Ferguson (10/22/1975, Libra Rabbit) : The two actors have been married since 2013, and have one child. Describing how they first met, at the gym in the early days of Ferguson's role in Modern Family (2009-2020), Ferguson said, "I was taken by how handsome he was and how sweet. I started asking questions about him, and I think he was sort of thrown off by that and ran away from me." The couple went on to launch the non-profit organization, Tie the Knot, raising money for LGBTQ causes.

Peter Falk (9/16/1927, Virgo Rabbit), Shera Danese (10/9/1949, Libra Ox) : The two actors were married from 1977 until Falk's death in 2011, from Alzheimer's. Danese appeared in Falk's iconic series, Columbo (1968–1978, 1989–2003) more than any other guest star. Falk once said about their early relationship, "[Danese] wasn’t interested. I kept at it. She conceded to a hello over a cocktail." Despite a reputation for conflict—the couple were apparently known a the "Fighting Falks", and Falk was a famous drinker and womanizer—they ultimately remained together. Danese once described: "We went through a really hard spell. I don’t know why but we didn’t agree on anything. Then, we made concessions, we accepted the bad habits of the other."

Lenny Henry and Dawn French

Lenny Henry (8/29/1958, Virgo Dog), Dawn French (10/11/1957, Libra Rooster) : The two British actor/comedians were married from 1984 until 2010. They had one adopted child together. Henry described about their early relationship in 2022, "I was yearning for something more substantial, but I just didn’t know what that was...A massive light bulb went off over my head. I was compelled by [French]. We talked about everything... performance, politics (my family voted Labour, but I hadn’t really connected with the whys of it until I met Dawn), family, relationships, food, the future. Even at the worst of times we used humour as sword and shield. My mind was at last tuned in, focused and functioning as an equal in a relationship. In other words, I was in love." In 2017, Henry said, "Remarkably, we seem to have shifted with relative ease from a 25-year marriage to a lasting friendship. I am amazed by us. There is no war, we’ve turned out to be the best of friends. There were lots of good years but one tricky last year."

Nick Cave (9/22/1957, Virgo Rooster), PJ Harvey (10/9/1969, Libra Rooster) : The two musicians dated in the mid-1990s, and collaborated on the recording, "Henry Lee" (1996). Cave has acknowledged their break-up as a strong influence on the acclaimed album, The Boatman's Call (1997), which marked a shift for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds away from punk rock towards more sombre, piano-based music. Cave wrote about the break-up between him and Harvey in 2019: "Deep down I suspected that drugs might have been a problem between us, but there were other things too. I still had a certain amount of work to do on my understanding of the concept of monogamy, and Polly had her own issues, I suspect, but I think at the end of the day it came down to the fact that we were both fiercely creative people, each too self-absorbed to ever be able to inhabit the same space in any truly meaningful way. We were like two lost matching suitcases, on a carousel going nowhere...[N]ever one to waste a good crisis, I set about completing The Boatman’s Call."

Compatibility overview

The expression "power couple" is often bandied about, but such a description is more or less expected for this ultra-stylish, supercharged pair. Two Roosters share highly compatible core values, not to mention one of the most prodigious work ethics in the zodiac. Fair warning, a lack of balance can lead to some explosive confrontations. But these two will never shy away from a challenge, and can ultimately forge a powerful bond.

The pairing of two Rooster natives is as powerful as any in the Chinese zodiac.

In the Chinese zodiac, matches between members of the same Trine Family have a strong foundation from the outset. The family of the Rooster (with the Ox and Snake) is celebrated for their business sense and determination, so two Roosters will generally find they have plenty in common when it comes to identifying and pursuing opportunities.

The Rooster's true gift is their sixth sense for capturing the zeitgeist. Two Roosters can thus be blown away by each other's incredible personal flair, and their innate abilities to read and impact the social currencies of their community. Far from skin deep, mutual admiration and attraction here arise from an instinctive recognition that each possesses the insight, drive, and energy necessary to achieve their goals. Indeed, these two will often waste no time before collaborating to startling effect. After all, one Rooster can be a visionary trendsetter—two can bend history to their will.

There is an undeniable quality of dynamite to this match, however, that may sometimes prove difficult to control. The Rooster is accustomed to having complete control over their own trajectory and self-presentation, and being eclipsed can be very challenging for them. Everything may be roses when they are in lock step, but two Roosters can find they hurt each other's feelings when their individual missions diverge. Self-absorption is also a notorious challenge for this sign. At times, both parties may have an uncomfortable sense they are more like an accessory than the main attraction they wish to be. Fortunately, the Rooster is just as capable of applying their tireless diligence to relationships as to other tasks.

Ultimately, this connection may prove a heady combination of impassioned highs and lows, but there is every chance two Rooster natives will be able to find a rhythm that sustains and inspires them long into the future to dazzling effect.

John Turturro and Spike Lee

Spike Lee (3/20/1957, Pisces Rooster), John Turturro (2/28/1957, Pisces Rooster) : The actor and director/actor are longtime collaborators and friends, who worked together on films including Do the Right Thing (1989), Mo Better Blues (1990), Jungle Fever (1991), and Clockers (1995). Discussing their respective acting contributions to the acclaimed Do the Right Thing, Lee referred to Turturro in handwritten notes as "MY MAIN MAN" and said: "John Turturro and I had very good chemistry between us. We're great friends, and he's such a great actor. I was very much intimidated doing that scene with John because, a lot of the scenes in the film where I'm acting at least, I'm not really an actor. The other people in it are, but this was just me and John on either side of a cigarette machine. Luckily, I got through it. John Turturro is a beast."

Chance the Rapper (4/16/1993, Aries Rooster), Kirsten Corley (5/31/1993, Gemini Rooster) : The couple first met as children in 2003 and began dating in 2013. After breaking up and becoming involved in legal disputes during 2016-2017, they reconciled and married in 2019. They have two daughters together. In 2018, Chance posted: "From the beginning beginning to the end end. You are my oldest and best friend. You are responsible for everyone of the most wonderful things in my life. I’m forever grateful that God made me find you, and even more grateful that you made me find God. Forever and ever babe. Happy Birthday."

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie (9/21/1981, Virgo Rooster), Paris Hilton (2/17/1981, Aquarius Rooster) : The two media personalities and childhood friends starred memorably together in the reality series The Simple Life (2003-2007), playing wealthy socialites doing menial jobs. The show was cancelled by Fox after two seasons (before being picked up by E!), due to feuding between Ritchie and Hilton. The pair have since reconciled. Using a refrain the pair used often on TV together, Hilton said during her 2021 wedding:"I’m so happy to have Nicole here with me on my big day. We’ve been friends since we were 2 years old. I love her so much and it just means so much to me that she’s here. Sanasa Sanasa!"

Pete Davidson (11/16/1993, Scorpio Rooster), Ariana Grande (6/26/1993, Cancer Rooster) : The singer and comedian shared a high-profile engagement in 2018. Grande described in 2019: "My friends were like, 'Come! We're gonna have a fun summer.' And then I met Pete, and it was an amazing distraction. It was frivolous and fun and insane and highly unrealistic, and I loved him, and I didn't know him. I'm like an infant when it comes to real life and this old soul, been-around-the-block-a-million-times artist. I still don't trust myself with the life stuff."

Beyoncé and Jay-Z

Jay-Z (12/4/1969, Sagittarius Rooster), Beyoncé (9/4/1981, Virgo Rooster) : The two musicians and businesspeople are one of the most famous couples in the world. They began dating around 2002, married in 2008, and have three children. Their combined wealth is estimated at around two billion dollars. They have publicly acknowledged facing marital challenges, including in Beyoncé's album Lemonade and Jay-Z's 4.44. Jay-Z said in 2017, "[W]e were using our art almost like a therapy session." In 2018, Beyoncé posted to Instagram: "At 36, I became a new mother of 3. I breastfed twins. I renewed my vows with my husband of ten years. I came back home to the stage to do Coachella, after pregnancy. Then my husband and I released our album together, Everything Is Love. And we’ve been touring with our family around the world, and loving it. This year has been monumental for me. I thank God for everyone in my life."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The semi-Sextile match of firstwest and secondwest contains the seeds of a life-changingly close and supportive collaboration—if they can progress beyond early wariness, for their stark differences are usually apparent immediately. The shared energy of the Chinese zodiac’s firsteast sign may at times bring a lack of excitement or problems resolving disagreements, but these two can usually be relied on to see the world in the same way. Overall, then, this is a relationship with a firm foundation, and significant long-term opportunities for mutual reassurance and reward.
