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.

The Pig and Sheep share a uniquely gentle harmonious energy match, one of the most nourishing in all of the Chinese zodiac.

Each of the four Trine Families that lie at the heart of the Chinese zodiac (like the elements in Western astrology) is brought together by a shared type of energy. In the case of the family that includes both the Pig and the Sheep (and their intimate comrade, the Rabbit), the uniting energy bespeaks a strong attachment to home and family. The values that are most important to these two tend to reflect this earnest desire for coziness and harmony. When the Pig and Sheep encounter one another, they are likely to experience immediately a great sense of cosmic reassurance. The Sheep, who can be frequently skittish in other company, will tend to relax all over, secure in the knowledge that the Pig's boundless generosity will not expose them to pressure or discomfort. The Pig, who with some other signs can alternate between naivety and frustration owing to their very trusting nature, finds in the Sheep a pure-hearted ally, whose gently protective spirit will never manipulate or take advantage of them.

Given the opportunity to grow together, these kindred spirits should find their relationship a pathway to nourishment and encouragement in those areas that are dearest to both of them. Artistic endeavours are strongly favoured, as are occasions for intimate merriment (not to mention moderate indulgence). Even for distant acquaintances who meet once in a blue moon, there can be a distinctly loving closeness to interactions between these two.

Whether at a distance or in more familiar contexts, this is a relationship to be treasured, a joy in times of plenty, and a haven from storms.

Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev
Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev (click for attribution/s)

Mikhail Gorbachev (3/2/1931, Pisces Sheep), Ronald Reagan (2/6/1911, Aquarius Pig) : The 40th US President and the eighth and final leader of the Soviet Union are credited with together ending the Cold War. In a series of meetings between 1985-1988, the two leaders agreed to a significant reduction in arms and transformed the relationship between their respective countries. The Reagan Foundation now records: "The unlikely pairing of a devoted anti-Communist advocate of capitalism with a dyed-in-the-wool Marxist resulted not only in the most significant arms reduction treaty in history, but in a permanent change in U.S.-Soviet relations. Neither country, nor the world, would ever be the same again. Somehow, against all odds, 'Ron and Mikhail,' as they eventually came to call each other, had found a way to make the planet safer after all."

Mike Nichols (11/6/1931, Scorpio Sheep), Emma Thompson (4/15/1959, Aries Pig) : The actor and director/producer collaborated multiple times, including the films, The Remains of the Day (1993), Primary Colors (1998), and Wit (2001), and the TV series, Angels in America (2003). After Nichols died in 2014, Thompson described: "Working with [Nichols] was like going to an eclectic, unorthodox, and highly original university. We would all get to wander about in the corridors and high ceilings of his mind—for free, mind you—each making different discoveries according to our tastes and aptitudes. Then, later, we would find that those discoveries applied to the rest of our lives...As for the laughing, there was no end to it. There were periods of hilarity that I am surprised I survived, let alone him. He laughed and cried in equal measure, to excess and always with good reason. He loved with unparalleled generosity and without reservation. His gifts to those of us lucky enough to have known him can never be measured. It was a lifting up. He lifted us all up.""

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver

Maria Shriver (11/6/1955, Scorpio Sheep), Arnold Schwarzenegger (7/30/1947, Leo Pig) : The actor/politician and and journalist/author were married from 1986 to 2021 and have four children. They separated when, after completing his term as Governor of California, Schwarzenegger revealed to his family that 14 years earlier he had fathered a child with their longtime maid. Schwarzenegger has since described: "I can beat myself up as much as I want — it's not gonna change the situation. So the key thing is, how do you move forward? How do you have a great relationship with your kids? You can't go back — if I could, in reality, be Terminator, of course I would go back in time and would say, 'Arnold … no.' You know, it's always easy to be smart in hindsight. That's not the way it works."

Keegan-Michael Key (3/22/1971, Aries Pig), Jordan Peele (2/21/1979, Pisces Sheep) : The comedian/filmmaker and actor/comedian are close friends, who appeared together in the sketch comedy show, Key & Peele (2012-2015). They also collaborated on the films, Keanu (2016), and Wendell & Wild (2022). In a joint interview, Key described about their friendship: "[Peele] makes my heart giggle...There’s an ineffable quality, and sometimes it’s timing and luck that people just come across each other at a particular time in their lives. They come from similar places and they bring beautifully different perspectives." Peele said, "We’re each other’s funniest person...Whenever we get together, whether it’s been a day or a few months, it’s like there we are … We have a competition to make each other laugh and it’s just the same infectious thing that doesn’t really exist with anyone else. We’re just constantly trying to crack each other up."

John Krasinski and Emily Blunt

John Krasinski (10/20/1979, Libra Sheep), Emily Blunt (2/23/1983, Pisces Pig) : The two actors have been married since 2010, and have two children. They co-starred in the film, A Quiet Place (2018), which Krasinski also directed. Blunt described in 2013: "Meeting John really changed my life. When I feel the support that I have from him, I feel invincible. There’s someone behind you on your good days and someone in front of you on your bad days."

Laura Dern (2/10/1967, Aquarius Sheep), Diane Ladd (11/29/1935, Sagittarius Pig) : The two actors are mother and daughter. They have co-starred in multiple films, including Wild at Heart (1990), Rambling Rose (1991), Citizen Ruth (1996), and Inland Empire (2006), as well as the HBO TV series, Enlightened (2011-2013). In 2023, they are set to publish their first co-written book, Honey, Baby, Mine: A Mother and Daughter Talk Life, Death, and Love (and Banana Pudding). Dern described: "When my mother received a terrifying health diagnosis, we started taking walks. Walks that resulted in us having the deepest, most honest and even the funniest conversations of our lives together. This book is the result of not waiting to share it all and has brought us closer than ever."

Ron Wood and Keith Richards

Keith Richards (12/18/1943, Sagittarius Sheep), Ron Wood (6/1/1947, Gemini Pig) : The two musicians have collaborated as the two guitarists in The Rolling Stones, since Wood joined the band in 1975. In the documentary film, Shine a Light, Wood was asked what was Richards' best point, and he answered: "Well, he's very moral and he's very caring, unlike his image." Richards described about their playing: "I know the truth, which is like, we're both pretty lousy, but together we're better than 10 others."
