Virgo Tiger and Sagittarius Tiger

The argumentative yet productive combination of firstwest and secondwest is likely to reveal many of its most hopeful qualities, when complemented as here by the solid shared foundation of firsteast and secondeast.

Compatibility overview

This is a stormy, yet nevertheless empowering connection. When firstwest and secondwest get together, even simple subjects can provoke furious debate—bystanders may find themselves figuratively and literally ducking for cover. But this relationship can also produce lifelong benefits, providing both signs with virtually unparalleled confidence and self-belief.

An interval of three steps around the Western zodiac wheel, as between Sagittarius and Virgo, forms a Square connection. This hard 90° angle is well known for its unyielding, potentially conflictive energy.

Sagittarius' instincts are essentially abstract, emphasizing a wholistic view of humanity and the natural world. Virgo, by contrast, is more concrete, interested in setting realistic goals and diligently applying themselves to achieve them. Sagittarius may thus feel as if they are being locked into attitudes and behaviors that are uncomfortably narrow, while Virgo finds it hard to get a firm footing, as if they never have enough control over what is happening. Part of the tension stems from the respective elements. Fire sign Sagittarius' is celebrated for their great energy and dynamic bursts, but they can also fade quickly if discouraged or neglected. Virgo's Earth is a much steadier influence, bringing patience and determination, as well as a tendency towards intransigence. In Virgo's mind, Sagittarius may be forever blowing disconcertingly too hot or too cold, while Sagittarius can find Virgo overly predictable, immoveable, or domineering.

Because these two signs share the same Mutable modality, there is little chance of escaping confrontation. As different as they are, they are both instinctively reflective, interested in implications, consequences, and effects. Without a balancing different modality, there is basically nowhere to hide. Fortunately, the strong tension here has powerful countervailing benefits. Difference always carries some potential for attraction, but these two can experience particular electricity. As time passes, a more significant effect may be lasting assuredness and self-understanding.

Like devil's advocates, Sagittarius and Virgo can expose dramatically each other's true selves—those aspects of their character that are disposable, and those that can never be compromised. This remarkable personal growth for the two signs can, perhaps counter-intuitively, result in a strong and lasting bond. This often means that even if Sagittarius and Virgo ultimately move on in different directions, they often experience lasting gratitude for the role this powerfully transformative energy has played in their lives.

Sunrise Coigney and Mark Ruffalo

Sunrise Coigney (9/17/1972, Virgo Rat), Mark Ruffalo (11/22/1967, Sagittarius Sheep) : The actors married in 2000 and have three children together. Ruffalo described in 2014: "I was living in a dump and didn’t even have a driver’s license or a credit card. [Coigney] thought I was a mess … but she believed in me and kept encouraging me. I don’t know if I would have made it without her."

Aaron Paul (8/27/1979, Virgo Sheep), Lauren Parsekian (12/8/1986, Sagittarius Tiger) : The actor and director/actor have been married since 2013 and have two children. Referring to Parsekian's anti-bullying non-profit organization, Paul said in his 2014 Emmy acceptance speech: "To my wife, my God, thank you for marrying me. If you don’t know what she does, look up Kind Campaign. Do yourself a favor, look up Kind Campaign."

Lauren Bacall and Frank Sinatra

Lauren Bacall (9/16/1924, Virgo Rat), Frank Sinatra (12/12/1915, Sagittarius Rabbit) : The legendary singer and actor became romantically involved after the death of Bacall's first husband, Humphrey Bogart. Bacall's memoir, By Myself (1979), recounted that Sinatra ended the relationship suddenly, after news leaked about their engagement: "[Sinatra] did not speak one word to me—if he looked in my direction, he did not see me, he looked right past me, as though my chair were empty...I would have preferred him to spit in my face, at least that would have been recognition." About the relationship generally, Bacall described: "[As I look at it now,] we used one another in some crazy way. Actually, Frank did me a great favor—he saved me from the disaster our marriage would have been. The truth is he was probably smarter than I: he knew it couldn’t work. But the truth is also that he behaved like a complete s—...Anyway, it turned out to be a tragedy with a happy ending. Now, after a slow start, we are back on some sort of friendly basis."

Chase Stokes (9/16/1992, Virgo Monkey), Madelyn Cline (12/21/1997, Sagittarius Ox) : The two actors co-starred as lovers in Outer Season and were also in a real-life relationship for over a year. Stokes described: "Mads and I have been working together now for 30 episodes, and we made a promise to each other before we even started dating that the work was always going to come first. And that no matter what happens in our personal lives, and the ways that life sometimes takes you in different directions, that we're always going to honor the work. That stayed 100 percent truthful this season."

Jimmy Connors and Chris Evert

Jimmy Connors (9/2/1952, Virgo Dragon), Chris Evert (12/21/1954, Sagittarius Horse) : The two champion tennis players were engaged in the 1970s, when they both achieved breakthrough successes, and were called the "Love Double" and "Love Match" by the press. In his memoir, The Outsider (2013), Connors alleged that their previouly unexplained break-up was due in part to Evert having an abortion. Evert responded: "In his book, Jimmy Connors has written about a time in our relationship that was very personal and emotionally painful. I am extremely disappointed that he used the book to misrepresent a private matter that took place 40 years ago and made it public, without my knowledge."

Lance Armstrong (9/18/1971, Virgo Pig), Jan Ullrich (12/2/1973, Sagittarius Ox) : The two cyclists were famous rivals, with Ulrich finishing second to Armstrong in the Tour de France in 2000, 2001, and 2003. They admitted to doping during their careers within months of each other in 2013. In 2018, Armstrong travelled to Germany to help Ulrich address personal problems. In 2020, Armstrong said: "It means the world to me, to do a bike tour with Jan Ullrich and get kicked in the ass by him on the bike. Who says great rivals can’t be friends?...[He] drastically changed my life. [He] challenged me as a man...We came through a crazy time and a [expletive] time and we all navigated it differently. But we’re here and we’ve got this man back, fit and healthy. This is certainly one of the highlights of my year....When I see him here now and compare it with the man from three years ago: It’s one of the biggest comebacks in the world."

Jermaine Jackson (12/11/1954, Sagittarius Horse), Michael Jackson (8/29/1958, Virgo Dog) : The two musician brothers and members of the Jackson 5 attracted publicity for their complex relationship. In his memoir, You Are Not Alone: Michael, Through a Brother's Eyes, Jermaine described his infamous bootleg song, "Word to the Badd!!" as "secret retaliation...that therapists would have applauded, even if Michael's fans would not." About the relationship generally, Jermaine wrote: "We have been in sync since infancy, throughout everything: the dream, the Jackson 5, the fame, the separate paths, the rifts, the sorrows, the scandals, and the impossible pressure. He has cried with me. I have shouted in his face. He has refused to see me. He has begged me to be with him. We have known each other’s loyalty and each other’s unintended betrayal. And it is because of everything contained within this history—this brotherhood—that I know his character and mind like only true blood can."

Compatibility overview

Like herding Tigers! A match between two natives of this regal sign is likely to be every bit as highly-charged as it sounds. While the overall atmosphere is potentially very positive, with an abundance of like-mindedness and mutual respect, these two will need lots of independent space to accommodate each other successfully.

Just as with shared elements in the Western zodiac, own-sign matches in Chinese astrology necessarily involve two signs in the same Trine Family. When the Tiger—who belongs in the same family as the Dog and Horse—encounters another Tiger, the underlying energy is thus deeply compatible.

Two Tiger natives share qualities that are essential to their being, such as powerful self-belief, commitment to noble and righteous causes, and a determination to succeed without ethical compromise. Early conversations are likely to prove especially inspiring. These two may, literally and figuratively, fall over themselves in their enthusiasm to share and develop their opinions. Sexual experiences are typically full of fireworks, but any interaction is likely to have a similar brand of high intensity, heated agreement.

It must be said that all this energy—even if, for the most part, apparently positive—can prove somewhat exhausting. Other compatible signs can provide the Tiger with steadying, calming influences. A pair of Tigers, however, are more apt to keep riling each other up past the point where their frenetic activity and enthusiasm is good for them. Blow-ups and confrontations of one kind or another would not be a surprise. Arguments may prove especially deflating, if both Tigers are equally convinced they have arrived at the most honourable course of action, yet there is no prospect of them seeing eye to eye.

Happily, the nature of the Tiger is such that they can be relied on to right themselves quickly. The answer for successful Tiger/Tiger relationships is thus often to carve out a good measure of independent time and space. Left for long enough to their own devices, these two will quickly remember how rousing and pleasurable it is to spend time with each other.

Even if longer term happiness is arrived at through somewhat greater distance, the relationship in whatever form is capable of providing inspiration and fulfilment long into the future.

Ed Harris and Amy Madigan

Amy Madigan (9/11/1950, Virgo Tiger), Ed Harris (11/28/1950, Sagittarius Tiger) : The two actors have been married since 1983 and have one child. Harris described in 1985: "The acting thing is so intimate and personal that if we’re not working together, it’s real hard to share what we’re doing. I mean we both know what we’re doing, but you can’t really talk about your day very well. When you’re working together, though, there’s so much that is shared, so much unspoken thought and emotion that goes into the work, that it really draws you closer."

Hugh Hefner (4/9/1926, Aries Tiger), Kimberley Conrad (8/6/1962, Leo Tiger) : The magazine publisher and actress/model were married from 1989-2010 and had two children together. According to reports, the two separated in 1998, but Conrad and the children continued for many years to live in the house next door to Hefner, until a dispute over alimony payments.

John Coltrane and Miles Davis

John Coltrane (9/23/1926, Libra Tiger), Miles Davis (5/26/1926, Gemini Tiger) : The two jazz legends shared one of the most iconic collaborations in history during the late 1950s, including Davis' masterpieces Milestones (1958) and Kind of Blue (1959). It was a complex relationship, with Davis once striking Coltrane for slovenliness caused by drug use. But their mutual respect and influence have been widely acknowledged. Davis once described: "We used to talk a lot about music at rehearsals and on the way to gigs I'd say, 'Trane, here are some chords but don’t play them like they are all the time, you know? Start in the middle sometimes and don’t forget you can play them up in thirds. So that means you got 18, 19 different things to play in two bars.' He would sit there, eyes wide open, soaking up everything."

Tom Cruise (7/3/1962, Cancer Tiger), Penélope Cruz (4/28/1974, Taurus Tiger) : The two actors were romantically involved between around 2001 to 2004. Speaking about the relationship in 2006, Cruz said about Cruise: "Tom is a very good man, and I am close to his whole family, his children. I love his children, and his mum, and all of his family, and he's a great man. The people who have been good to me, they are untouchable, I am very loyal to the people who have meant something to me and have been good to me, very, very loyal."

Anthony Keidis and Flea

Anthony Kiedis (11/1/1962, Scorpio Tiger), Flea (10/16/1962, Libra Tiger) : The two musicians and founding members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers have known each other since they were teenagers. Flea described in 2019: "I met him when I was 15 and we both started 10th grade at Fairfax High School and we were almost immediately in love and at war and it's stayed that way ever since. I found someone who I could communicate with in a profound way that I hadn't before and here we are 40 something years later..."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The Square combination of firstwest and secondwest attracts powerful and explosive energy, with heated disagreements just about unavoidable. Yet this energy also has rare potential as a teacher, illuminating which qualities and directions in life are essential, and which can be forsaken. The positives of this Square connection are especially likely to surface here, given the sympathetic shared connection of the firsteast and secondeast. This own-sign combination may prove somewhat exhausting from time to time, owing to the lack of balance, but these two will likely share their most core values and attitudes—an ideal way to ensure the wildness of the Square can be kept under control, more or less.
