It's been an exciting year for Sabrina Carpenter, because in addition to turning 25, debuting her catchy new pop tune "Espresso" at Coachella, walking the Met Gala carpet for the first time, and making her debut in In addition to her SNL musical guest appearance, the singer-actress also made her red carpet debut with boyfriend Barry Keoghan. While rumors about the celebrity couple's identities have been circulating for months, they made their red carpet debut when they attended the Vanity Fair Oscar Party together on March 10.
Rumors of a possible romance between Carpenter and Keoghan began in December 2023 after they were spotted having dinner together in Los Angeles. Since then, they've been seen on a number of cozy outings together, with Keoghan even playing in a number of shows supporting Carpenter's Eras Tour, where he opened for Taylor Swift on one leg of the tour Performance. Now that they've taken their relationship to the red carpet, I thought it was time to delve into the astrological compatibility between Carpenter and Keoghan and see what the planets have to say about this star-studded pairing.
While both Carpenter and Keoghan's birth dates and places have been determined, their exact birth times have not yet been determined - so, as an astrologer, I cannot calculate their rising signs or see where the planets fall in their charts which palaces. However, their primary zodiac sign placements are still available without a birth time, so let's dive into some of the key planetary relationships that contribute to this couple's cosmic chemistry.
Basic cooperation between husband and wife
Let's start with the basics: Carpenter is a Taurus Sun, while Keoghan is a Libra Sun. Taurus and Libra aren't particularly compatible signs on the surface, but they do have some sweet things in common when it comes to their respective rulers. Both signs are ruled by passionate Venus, making them particularly focused on relationships. Sensual Taurus loves to indulge in all the fun of romance, while flighty Libra enjoys the thrill and excitement of falling in love. Not surprisingly, Keoghan was spotted at the Vanity Fair Oscars party wearing a friendship bracelet with Carpenter's name on it.
When it comes to communication, there may be some challenges - as Carpenter and Keoghan's spiritual planet Mercury is in opposite signs of Taurus and Scorpio respectively. The way they think about things and express themselves can be very different. However, the "opposites attract" effect may also be at play here. While communication can be frustrating, challenging each other intellectually can also be fun and sexy for them, and their different perspectives can help broaden their horizons. Overall, their Sun and Mercury pairing isn't perfect, but there's certainly potential for sparks to fly.
Waters goes deep into sex and emotion
In both Carpenter and Keoghan's birth charts, the emotionally driven water element was dominant among some very important relationship planets - namely the sentimental Moon, love planet Venus, and sex planet Mars. Both stars have their Moon and Venus in water signs (Carpenter has a Moon in Pisces and Venus in Cancer, while Keoghan has a Moon in Cancer and Venus in Scorpio), which gives them a natural ability in the way they handle and express their feelings. compatibility. In relationships. Keoghan also has Mars in water sign Cancer, which also brings him desire, and when he watched Carpenter perform at Coachella, he blushed shyly.
While these planets are not particularly closely aspected to each other, the fact that they are both in water signs shows that there is an innate understanding of each other when it comes to sex, love, and emotions. Water signs feel things deeply and have strong intuition, so it's possible to have a very deep and tender romantic connection between two stars because of these placements.
Pluto's strong attraction
Another driving force between this couple may be a deep and intense attraction to each other, thanks in part to some powerful aspects to transformative Pluto. In Keoghan's chart, Carpenter's Moon forms a beautiful trine to Pluto, while her Sun directly opposes it. Trines bring a deep emotional understanding to the relationship and can catalyze all kinds of powerful transformations within the two stars, and the unspoken connection between them may become immediately apparent. Due to the tension between opposites, there may also be a strong magnetic attraction between the two stars, which may feel dangerous yet irresistible.
Speaking of irresistible, Carpenter's Mars in Libra is closely aligned with Keoghan's Libra Sun, which could indicate a strong physical attraction between them. Mars is the planet of desire, and the Sun symbolizes core identity, so when it comes to desire, they may turn each other on simply by being themselves.
While Carpenter and Keoghan may not have the most compatible Sun signs or Mercury signs, their significant water sign placements bring an easy and fluid emotional connection to their relationship. Additionally, some powerful aspects, including intensity-loving Pluto and lusty Mars, bring plenty of sexy spark and magnetic attraction to their relationship.
