RuPaul Charles and Michelle Visage from RuPaul's Drag Race have stayed friends while keeping the show going for over a decade. The chemistry between drag superstar RuPaul and his right-hand woman Michelle Visage can be explained by their zodiac signs. The compatibility of RuPaul's Scorpio Sun sign and Michelle's Virgo placement explains the couple's warm relationship. It also helps to explain the unprecedented success of the show they appear on together.
RuPaul, whose fame began in the late '80s, was born on November 17, 1960. This birthdate was toward the end of Scorpio season. This season runs from October 23 to November 21. Symbolized by "the Scorpion," Scorpio is a Fixed Water sign that is commonly known for being brave, passionate, and eccentric. Scorpios appreciate having a small group of friends that they can trust. In return, they are devoted. Michelle Visage was born on September 20, 1968. That means that Michelle was born during Virgo season, which runs from August 23 to September 22. Represented by "the Maiden," Virgos are Mutable Earth signs known for their loyal, hard-working, and critical natures. Virgos tend to be traditional and shy. They often prefer to let others take center stage. While the traits of Scorpios and Virgos may not gel all the time, they are complementary.
By turning Drag Race into an international phenomenon, RuPaul embodies the bravery that Scorpio is known for. Before drag queens were hosting brunches and attending the Oscars, RuPaul was paving the way for drag artists. His 1993 hit "Supermodel (You Better Work)" raised his public profile. Ru's passion for his art has been evident throughout his lengthy career. He has maintained this passion over the decades and shows no sign of slowing down. Drag Race Down Under and Drag Race España are on the horizon. Michelle Visage is a typical Virgo Sun sign, particularly when it comes to her trademark critiques, which she delivers as part of the Drag Race judging panel. Besides showing loyalty to her husband David, whom she's been married to since 1997, Michelle is a trustworthy friend to RuPaul. She has been sitting beside Ru since season 3. Michelle and David are pictured below.
As a Scorpio, RuPaul likes his privacy. Scorpios want inner circles that feature trustworthy people. Michelle Visage's Virgo loyalty made her a prime candidate. The buddies have maintained a fulfilling friendship since they met in the '80s. On top of their compatibility as friends, Scorpios and Virgos have similar desires. RuPaul and Michelle's signs seek out fame and fortune. Both have expansive careers in entertainment, from 1990 girl groups (Michelle) to Drag Race pioneers (RuPaul). While former judges Merle Ginsberg and Santino Rice were fine additions to the panel, Michelle was able to last as an essential component of the team due to her rapport with Ru.
On and off-camera, RuPaul and Michelle's friendship works because of their harmonious astrological signs. RuPaul needs a loyal friend who has his back while he pursues his passions. Michelle's loyal and supportive Virgo nature makes her the best fit. Whether they are running the RuPaul's Drag Race empire or enjoying each other's company behind the scenes, they are clearly best friends forever.
