Compatibility
Aquarius Horse and Leo Sheep

Bringing together two legendary matches—the powerfully synergistic firstwest and secondwest, and the infinite tenderness of the firsteast and secondeast—this is a true gem of a combination, one of the most favorable of any in existence.

Western Zodiac

Aquarius and Leo

Compatibility overview

This is a potentially fantastic match. Although not smooth sailing! The combination of firstwest and secondwest is one of the six famous polarities, or Oppositions, where signs are six steps away, hence diametrically opposed across the zodiac wheel. Equally combative and harmonious, many believe this energy is an archetype for an ideal relationship.

Leo and Aquarius will probably realize quickly that there are few neutral subjects between them. These signs are both defined in large part by the strength of their convictions. When they disagree, lookout!

Leos have a usually unshakeable faith that they know what is right and are capable of achieving it, which at times may conflict powerfully with Aquarius' always-accepting attitude. At times, Aquarius' celebrated non-conformity may profoundly disturb Leo's desire for achievement and fondness for praise. These signs share a Fixed modality, so once they get into an argument, good luck waiting for either of them to back down. Believe it or not, though, this potential for intense disagreement is perhaps the relationship's greatest strength. For one thing, conflicts here are destined to prove a powerful source of growth for both parties, leading them to clarify and refine the beliefs that are so central to their respective identities. Perhaps more importantly, Opposition relationships such as this one have a Venn diagram-like quality—disputation may be frequent, but where their twin circles overlap, the force of their shared convictions is awesome.

The respective elements of Fire (Leo) and Air (Aquarius) are naturally harmonious, a delightfully combustible mixture that is ideal for humour, productivity, and intimacy. These two may fight like cats and dogs, but they will only grow stronger in the process. The result is often a relationship as dependable as any in the Western zodiac.

You have brought a piece of us in every song from children, the elderly, and those who didn’t know our customs or spoke our language.

In Chinese astrology, the high-water mark of compatibility is usually the other members of each sign's own Trine Family—like the elements in Western astrology. However, each sign also has a special Soulmate connection with one sign from their kindred Trine Family. The Horse and Sheep share this exceptional Soulmate energy.

In the right circumstances, communication will flow easily from the get-go. The Sheep can be fretful in other company, but the Horse's brand of passionate independence calms and delights them in equal measure. When the Sheep is at ease, there is no more enchanting a creature in the Chinese zodiac, and the Horse will likely find the effects irresistible.

The real marvel of this connection, as it matures, is how the traits of these two souls complement and enhance one another. The Sheep's creative gifts are brilliant but risk being stifled by hesitancy and fragility. The Horse contributes a decisive, free-thinking independence that builds the Sheep's self-worth and gives them the confidence to share their gifts at large. The Horse, meanwhile, has a tendency towards excessive detachment and selfishness, which can make them lonely and insensitive towards others. The charms of the Sheep are capable of effortlessly breaking down the Horse's defences, making them more approachable and understanding, and softening their wilful nature with a sense of closeness and belonging.

It can be helpful to bear in mind that, as the Horse and Sheep grow closer, their Soulmate connection may be demanding. A bit like a Stradivarius, the music here can be divine if everything is tuned correctly, but problems—such as competing allegiances or excessive self-doubt—can feel especially awful. If these two signs are able to prioritize their relationship, however, and give their shared energy the scope to fulfil its potential, the prospects for successful collaboration and loving support are virtually limitless.

When Lydon's song, "Hawaii", became a contender to represent Ireland in the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest, he said: "I thought it would be really good because it meant my lovely wife, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s, might get a great sense of fun out of it if she managed to guess who it was.

Final Words

The revered Opposition energy between Western signs firstwest and secondwest draws strength not only from the intense synergies they share, but from their equally striking differences. Here, this powerful potential is beautifully complemented by a Soulmate connection between firsteast and secondeast, one of the most propitious matches in the Chinese zodiac. If there were any such thing as perfection in relationships, this would be it, with the chance of these two developing a rare and deeply rewarding, lifelong connection written in the stars.
