Before this week, Riverdale star Madelaine Petsch and "Taste" rapper Tyga were not often named in conversation together. Or at all. And yet here we are in 2025, fresh off of sightings of the duo at a Lakers game and an Oscars after party (as seen below!)—aka two classic stops for a celebrity couple soft launch. While we're still waiting for the official confirmation of whether Tyga, 35, and Madelaine, 30, are exclusive, an insider told US Weekly that the two met back in November just before Tyga's birthday, and that they have been seeing each other for about four months.
Which brings us to the next most pressing question: How promising is this union? As we wait for an in-depth couples interview (that may or may not ever come), we turn to astrology for some compatibility insight in the meantime. In this edition of Cosmo's Shiposcopes, where we break down celeb couples' birth charts to evaluate their cosmic compatibility, we're unpacking how Tyga (Scorpio Sun) and Madelaine (Leo Sun) came to be.

The Green Flags
A Sun-Moon Conjunction
Madeleine's Leo Sun meet Tyga's Leo moon in a conjunction, which is one of the best astrological aspects a couple can have. (That's when planets in two people's charts are within a few degrees of each other, usually in the same sign.) The chemistry here was obvious from the moment they met, and the sun person (Madeleine) intuitively understands how the moon person's (Tyga) emotions flow. People with this dynamic often approach life in similar ways, and the moon person knows how to make the Sun person feel like the most important thing in the world.
Sun-Pluto Conjunction
Tyga’s Scorpio sun and Madeleine’s Pluto in Scorpio are conjunct, which is intense and magnetic. Pluto represents transformation and rebirth, so this relationship will trigger a lot of personal growth for these two. From what I gather, Tyga’s likely bringing a brand new light to Madeleine’s life, and he sees a side to her that many others don’t. Madeleine’s probably boosting Tyga’s confidence significantly, since the Pluto person doesn’t judge the darkest, most shameful parts of the Sun person. Congrats on that, Tyga.
Mars-Jupiter Conjunction
Not only do these two know how to have a great time together, but they’re also helping each other grow. Madeleine’s Cancer Mars touches Tyga’s Jupiter in Cancer, and this planetary overlap is super motivating. These two stay ready to take on adventurous situations together. Even if it requires conquering some fears. Maybe Madeleine’s taking Tyga on crazy hiking expeditions, or Tyga’s bringing Madeleine along to the studio. Who knows what boundaries are being pushed for the better.
The (Sort of) Red Flags
Sun-Sun Square
Planets square each other when they’re in the same modality, and these two’s fixed Sun signs (Leo and Scorpio) do just that. This aspect isn’t detrimental, but it does mean that they run into misunderstandings quite often, and that those tiny misunderstandings could blow up into bigger squabbles. One thing they should prioritize is learning how to compromise with each other, otherwise little disagreements could fuel long-term resentment.
Mercury-Mercury Square
Here’s another aspect that creates a lot of misinterpretations. Mercury rules communication, so when two people’s Mercury signs square each other, their natural communication styles conflict. This isn’t always a bad thing! It encourages a lot of fun, healthy debates and stimulating conversations. But when they get into serious fights, both partners just need to make sure to maintain an open mind—they should never jump to conclusions or rule out the other one’s logic off the bat.
Venus-Venus Square
This aspect creates a bit of tension, but not all tension is negative! Since Madeleine's Libra Venus and Tyga's Capricorn Venus share a modality (cardinal), they may share values, but have different approaches to expressing those values. They broaden each other’s worldviews, but could butt heads discussing logistics like finances and scheduling.
The Verdict
Astrologically, this unlikely duo has a lot in their favor. A Sun-Moon conjunction is one of the best compatibility aspects out there, and it signals long-term success. Plus, their Sun-Pluto overlap says they’ll each be forever changed by the relationship, whether it fares well or not. Because of their squared Mercury signs, they need to make sure that they're regularly monitoring how they communicate to avoid offending the other or running into misunderstandings. Let's wish these two all the very best. <3
