Leo and Libra

Compatibility overview

Easy breezy is the name of the game for this sympathetic, fun-loving combination. The match between firstwest and secondwest may not be as emotionally stirring as others, either positively or negatively. But what these two lack in intensity, they more than make up for in reliability, warmth, and pleasure.

Western signs that are two steps apart form a Sextile interval. The energy here is usually enjoyable from the start, with little likelihood of tension, and a natural facility for finding common ground.

Powerhouse Leo, a trailblazer who is forever motivated to achieve honor and greatness, tends to have great respect for Libra's fine judgement and infectious enthusiasm. Meanwhile Libra loves nothing more than to deliberate and consider ideas, however varied or unorthodox, so Leo's patient commitment to high achievement appeals to them at every level. Mutual inspiration and successful collaboration are strongly indicated here. Leo's dynamic Fire element blends beautifully with Libra's intellectually-oriented Air. Libra's vigor and multi-faceted outlook is likely to rouse Leo's ambition and pride, while Leo's self-belief invigorates Libra to expand their perspective even further than usual.

The modalities here are similarly harmonious. The Fixed energy of Leo contributes determination to follow through and achieve real-world accomplishments, while Libra's pure Cardinal energy stimulates creativity and the exploration of new and exciting projects. A defining characteristic of this Sextile connection is that, as sympathetic as they are, these signs tend to always retain a sense of their essential differences and independent identities. Their relationship can thus enrich their lives together and separately, making it easy for them to drop into and out of each other's lives, and only rarely, if ever, to feel slighted or overlooked.

The main obstacle for Leo and Libra is that the easy affinity between them may cause them to downplay the significance of their connection. They may sometimes take their relationship for granted, or prioritize more demanding alternatives, which can lead more in the direction of friendship than close intimacy. Fortunately, this energy can usually expand or contract as necessary to accommodate what both signs need at any given moment.

Ultimately, whether as casual acquaintances, colleagues, or partners celebrating a golden anniversary, Leo and Libra will typically share warmth, nourishment, and dependability.

Rosalynn Carter (8/18/1927, Leo Rabbit), Jimmy Carter (10/1/1924, Libra Rat) : The former President and First Lady of the United States have been married since 1946 and have four children. Jimmy Carter has described: "It’s hard to live until you’re 95 years old. I think the best explanation for that is to marry the best spouse: someone who will take care of you and engage and do things to challenge you and keep you alive and interested in life."

Andy Warhol (8/6/1928, Libra Rat), Truman Capote (9/30/1924, Leo Dragon) : The author and artist shared a famous friendship during the 1970s. Of their early contacts, Capote described: "I started getting these letters from somebody who called himself Andy Warhol. They were, you know, fan letters. But not answering these Warhol letters didn’t seem to faze him at all. I became Andy’s Shirley Temple. After a while I began getting letters from him every day!" As their friendship developed, Warhol recorded hours of their conversations, which were adapted by playwright Rob Roth into the play, WARHOLCAPOTE. Capote says in the play: "My doctor suggested that I adopt some healthier hobby other than wine-tasting and fornication. So I’m going to get all pulled together. You can come out and visit me at the center." To which Warhol replies, "Okay, all right. I’ll come out and visit you. That would be really great. Oh, Truman, we’re going to miss you."

Snoop has described: "We talk about once a week, and when I go that way [New York] I like to stay at her house - her house is so big, her horse's house is bigger than my house. She's got it going on. I love me some Martha Stewart; she is just a joy to be around. When you think of Snoop Dogg [and Martha Stewart] it is just the perfect match, it's holy matrimony."

Antonio Banderas (8/10/1960, Leo Rat), Pedro Almodóvar (9/25/1949, Libra Ox) : The celebrated Spanish actor and director have made eight movies together.

Harris has described: "I think what’s so moving and powerful with Ali and I is we don’t overthink it — we just are genuinely us. Every day we show up, and for so long, we had to hide our love and our relationship and who we were and how we expressed ourselves because of the environment and because of our job...For so long, there was an elephant in the room, and it was like, this is so dumb. We are wasting so much of our life living a lie. Like, what are we even doing?"

Blake Edwards (7/26/1922, Leo Dog), Julie Andrews (10/1/1935, Libra Pig) : The director and actor/musician were married for over 40 years before Edwards' death in 2010. Andrews recalled in 2019, "He was hilariously funny and had such a dark sense of humor that just put me away, that I loved so much. But he was also, at times, a very depressive personality and had a very difficult time."

Dog and Pig

Compatibility overview

Among the four Trine Families of the Chinese zodiac (like the elements in Western astrology), there are two generally compatible pairs. One such pair comprises the Dog family (with the Tiger and Horse) and the Pig family (with the Rabbit and Sheep). Thus, while the combination of Dog and Pig is not usually singled out as a stellar match, good fortune nevertheless swirls around these two loving, tireless characters.

What usually draws the Dog and Pig together is a bedrock of shared values. Both of these signs are capable of relentless hard work and dedication. The Dog might perhaps be more consistently reliable, but the Pig makes up for any occasional waywardness with incredible determination once they get into gear. The Pig's trusting, generous nature is the stuff of legend, so there is a natural affinity with the Dog's instinctive support of underdog people and causes.

These two will need to look out for sometimes surprising breakdowns in communication. The Pig may find the Dog's anxiety confusing and either respond with insensitivity or remain naively unaware. The Dog may sense that they are not wholly accepted in the relationship and sometimes adopt a secretive or distant attitude. Perhaps for these reasons, this is a relationship that functions especially well in professional settings, or in more intimate relationships that involve plenty of collaborative work.

Make no mistake, though, there is an abundance of respect and tenderness here. It is no surprise that Dog/Pig relationships from business partnerships to marriages exert a powerful influence that frequently lasts a lifetime and beyond.

Kirsten Dunst and Sofia Coppola

Kirsten Dunst (4/30/1982, Taurus Dog), Sofia Coppola (5/14/1971, Taurus Pig) : The director and actor have are close friends who have collaborated multiple times, including the films The Virgin Suicides (1999), Marie Antoinette (2006), and The Beguiled (2017). In an interview with Coppola, Dunst described: "But [it was impactful] to have worked with you on a film [The Virgin Suicides] that was really a blossoming kind of movie for me. You don’t make your actors feel inhibited or wrong ever. You’re good at guiding and expressing what you want with an example, rather than, do this or do that. Not everyone knows how to do that. I think that’s an art in itself." Coppola responded: "I know exactly what you mean. I always want to give the space for everyone to be comfortable to find it themselves. But I feel like you and I don’t have to talk. There’s just a shorthand."

Veronica St Clair (4/6/1994, Aries Dog), Dove Cameron (1/15/1996, Capricorn Pig) : The actor and singer/actor share a close and intimate bond, evidenced by birthday posts they have shared via Instagram. In 2020, St Clair posted: "Happy Birthday, my Chlo!!! [Cameron's real name is Chloe Celeste Hosterman] To me you are moonlight swims; Parisian sunrises; tears of joy; giant spoonfuls of tapioca pudding; and laughing very hard, very often, and sometimes during very inappropriate moments (hehehe). I love you." In April 2021, Cameron posted: "Veronica, you are my most cherished. You are the highest example of what a human being can hope to be. you are my world. I can’t believe it’s you. I am so lucky, as is the [expletive] world. Happy birthday, Baby. See you so soon."

May has described: "Freddie wasn’t greedy for power. People have this image of him as a diva who insisted on getting his own way, but he was the mediator, the guy who could make sense out of opposite ends of arguments. He was very good at focusing on the important issues."

Will Arnett (5/4/1970, Taurus Dog), Amy Poehler (9/16/1971, Virgo Pig) : The two actor/comedians were married from 2003 to 2016 and had two children together. Speaking in 2022, Arnett said, "It’s been almost 10 years and my kids are so lucky that Amy is their mother and I’m so lucky that we’re such a huge part of each other’s lives, even more so than we were five years ago."

Cher explained in 2017, "I was this massive amount of energy with no direction...I knew what I wanted to do, but I never would've gotten there without Sonny."

Fat Joe (8/19/1970, Leo Dog), Big Pun (11/10/1971, Scorpio Pig) : The two rappers formed a lifelong supportive and collaborative friendship after Fat Joe discovered Big Pun in the mid-90s. In 2022, on the 22nd anniversary of Big Pun's death, Fat Joe posted: "22 years later we still celebrate your greatness. My brother we miss you not a day goes by when we don’t think about or tell stories about you. The world got robbed of an incredible beautiful person 22 years ago was the worst day of my life. We try to hold it down for you as best as we can i know I’ll see you again."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

As a Sextile combination, firstwest and secondwest typically share an effortless, joy-filled dynamic, with the only real problem the possibility that they might not take it as seriously as other matches in their lives. For this pair, there is a similarly stress-free combination on the Chinese zodiac side as well, for the firsteast and secondeast share a natural affinity that is highly compatible, even if at times it seems more akin to friendly repartee than star-crossed-lover intensity. Overall, this is a beautiful foundation for any relationship, one with perhaps even greater potential than might appear.
