Vanderpump Rules: Why Tom & Tom's Zodiacs Are Compatible
Tom Schwartz and Tom Sandoval's friendship defined Vanderpump Rules, and now it's time to look at how their zodiacs made the friendship last. The bromance with Sandoval is Schwartz's surviving life partnership since separating from his wife, Katie Maloney. Ever since a craigslist ad brought the former roommates together, they've been inseparable. After examining the mens' astrological charts, the pair may have been written in the stars.
Sandoval went from a thriving bartender to an excelling businessman, reality star, and jack of all trades artist. Meanwhile, Schwartz evolved from a meandering lost soul in Los Angeles to co-owner of two restaurants with Sandoval and Lisa Vanderpump. The success of Vanderpump Rules and West Hollywood's Tom Tom cemented the guys' status as next-level entrepreneurs in the entertainment industry.
Despite always being glued at the hip, the men took a brief step back from their friendship last season when tensions started brewing between Sandoval and Katie. With Schwartz and Katie's marriage dissolving into an amicable friendship, it's time to look at why Schwartz and Sandoval's friendship has stood the test of time.
Schwartz was born on October 16, 1982, in Woodbury, Minnesota. Tom is a rising Sagittarius, Libra Sun, and Libra Moon. A Sagittarius can be overly blunt, but this side of Schwartz rarely pops his head out around Sandoval. Schwartz's Libra placements make him a people pleaser who frequently comes off as Sandoval's flying monkey. As a Libra, Schwartz is also scared to be alone and is painfully indecisive. It makes sense that he wasn't the one to end his marriage and can never decide whether to stand up to Sandoval or accommodate him. However, he is always honest about his indecisiveness. The irony is that while Schwartz's Libra leans into codependency, his Sagittarius yearns to be independent. Schwartz could learn to navigate life without either Sandoval or Katie by his side as time goes on.
On July 7, 1983, Sandoval was born in St. Louis, Missouri. He is a Cancer Sun with Virgo rising and a Gemini Moon. It's important to note that Sandoval's Venus sign is Leo, making him very loyal in his friendships. On the other hand, Leo's have a history of attaching themselves to the rich and powerful. Sandoval can be arrogant and selfish, even claiming credit for Schwartz's financials at his worst and demanding he level up his end of their shared brand. Sandoval's Virgo rising sign can make him hypercritical of himself and how he appears to others, reinforcing this need to level up. The love and loyalty are what keep Schwartz and Sandoval united. Both the Virgo and Leo signs helped Sandoval react calmly to Schwartz's split from Katie. Sandoval's Gemini Moon gives him a short attention span and the ability to change gears quickly. He and Schwartz's ability to have fun doing anything and everything hinges on Sandoval's moon and Schwartz's rising Sagittarius. The Cancer Sun brings Sandoval's sensitivities to the surface. Schwartz even loves Sandoval's nostalgia and sentimentality.
The Toms' relationship appears as goofball energy and a messy power imbalance on the surface. After digging deeper, it makes sense how these complex zodiac identities created deep bonds with one another. When Vanderpump Rules season 10 debuts, it will be exciting to see the friends' next chapter with Schwartz as a single man.
