Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly's Astrological Compatibility

From super-public double dates to eyebrow-raising jewelry and now a gasp-worthy engagement, it's safe to say Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have captured the public's imagination in a major way.

The pair first met back in March 2020 on the set of Midnight In The Switchgrass, although they reportedly got close after the production was shut down due to the pandemic. The actress, who was separated from Beverly Hills, 90210 star Brian Austin Green at the time, and the rapper were said to be "intrigued by each other and having a lot of fun," according to an E! News source.

By early August 2020, they had both gone Instagram official, posting sexy, couple-y photos to their respective IGs. In November 2020, Fox filed for divorce from Green, and she and MGK have continued going strong — and professing their love for one another very publicly. Case in point: MGK once made jaws drop with a post featuring a necklace that appears to hold a drop of Fox's blood. "I wear your blood around my neck," he captioned his Instagram post. And in Nylon, Fox called their connection one of "mythic proportions," saying "loving him is like being in love with a tsunami or a forest fire." Fox has also gushed that MGK is her "twin flame" — aka two halves of the same soul.

Less than two years into their steamy relationship, MGK popped the question with a diamond and emerald ring. (But let's be real, we all saw this one coming.)

There's no doubt the couple is wild for one another, and their astrological compatibility offers plenty of clues about how the two connect. Here, is what Fox and MGK's astrological charts say about their steamy romance and engagement.

They Share Sun Signs

Both Fox (born on May 16, 1986, at 12:35 a.m. in Oak Ridge, Tennessee) and MGK (born on April 22, 1990, at 9:00 a.m. in Houston, Texas) were born while the sun moved through the grounded, resolutely fixed earth sign Taurus.

Given their conjunct suns, Fox and Kelly likely feel like they just get one another innately. This could very well explain why they had such a speedy, instant connection. Sharing the same sun sign as your partner can help you feel like you're very much on the same page, have similar perspectives, and share your core values. For two Taureans, that means an emphasis on creature comforts, style, and home life.

But, although it's just one piece of your bigger natal chart, sharing a sun sign with your partner means you also share the same flaws. In this case, Taurus, symbolized by the Bull, can be hard-headed and slow to take action on just about anything. So if you're uncomfy with something about yourself and your partner reflects it back to you, awkwardness or tension could ensue. It's a case of loving yourself as much as your S.O.

Their Venus Connection

Kelly was born with Venus — the planet of love, beauty, and money — in Pisces. Venus' placement influences how you behave in relationships and how you attract others. It sits right on Fox's Jupiter, which is how she makes her luck and experiences abundance, so it's no surprise they feel so fortunate about their relationship — and that it's bringing them even more fame and success. This watery connection underlines just how sensitive, tender, and truly romantic they are with one another. They're both empaths, a bit psychic, and super-compassionate poets at heart. That absolutely explains the lovey-dovey posts the two share, like this one on V-Day: "There goes my heart manifest outside of my body draped in the towering silhouette of a most unusually handsome boy," Fox wrote about Kelly. "The journey will likely be perilous but there is no destination without him."

What's more, Fox's Jupiter is at 17 degrees Pisces while Kelly's moon is at 25 degrees Pisces. If there was ever a sign of true adoration, tender affection, and feeling downright lucky in love, it's a moon-Jupiter aspect like this. These two absolutely know how to nurture and care for one another. And with such a strong emotional connection in such a romantic sign, it's no wonder the Internet's so mesmerized by Kelly and Fox as a duo.

Their Mercury Conjunction

It's one thing for Fox and Kelly to have such strong Venus and Venus-moon conjunctions that lend themselves to how they love one another, but they're also very much on the same page in terms of how they think and communicate, thanks to a strong Mercury conjunction. Fox was born with the planet of information at 16 degrees of Taurus while Kelly was born with his at 17 degrees of Taurus.

This means both have the tendency to speak in a direct, grounded, measured, and possibly super-diplomatic way. And thanks to Taurus' fixed, resolute nature, they might be a bit slow to start projects but once they're in, they're all in and will see something through to the end. This conjunction could very well point to the pair being able to see themselves signing up for the long haul.

Another interesting Mercury aspect: Fox's Mars (the planet of action and sex) is in Capricorn at 19 degrees, forming a harmonizing trine to Kelly's Mercury in Taurus, which points to the couple's ability to think and act as a team. Fox likely inspires Kelly to make big moves to make his ideas real — especially because the trine is happening in two industrious, hardworking earth signs.

What This Means for Their Romantic Future

With charts that match and harmonize with one another so beautifully, Fox and Kelly have a uniquely heightened ability to communicate, love, and work together. With such strong astrological compatibility, their love story is no doubt an example of "when you know, you know."

And usually, when you know, you seal the deal with an engagement, as MGK did. The day that he proposed, the moon, which can drive up emotional sensitivity, was in Taurus, hovering right over not only Fox's sun but the couple's Mercury conjunction, indicating an emotionally-charged conversation. Mars, the planet of sex and action, hit Fox's Uranus, the planet of sudden change, so it's quite possible that she was actually surprised by the proposal. As if that wasn't enough, lucky Jupiter, now in dreamy Pisces, had just formed a conjunction with MGK's Mars — magnifying his desire to make a major move — and is about to form a harmonizing Grand Trine with his Jupiter in Cancer and her Pluto in Scorpio indicating a major, fortunate change for the couple.

Their fateful engagement really goes to show these two were cut from the same starry cloth. Two dreamers who feel the weight and pain of the world personally, they're both pros at channeling those tough emotions into their work. And now they have one another for support along the way.
