An interval of five steps around the Western zodiac wheel, as between Leo and Pisces, produces a Quincunx (or inconjunct) aspect. This is one of only two minor aspects—along with the Semi-Sextile—which means the energy here is less determinative, more fluid, than other influences.
From the beginning, Leo and Pisces are likely to experience both an exhilarating sense of freedom to be themselves, and a disorienting absence of clear direction. The respective elements—Fire for Leo and Water for Pisces—have one of the worst reputations for compatibility in Western astrology. This is why, traditionally, astrologers tended to seem them as cosmic strangers, with next to nothing in common. It is true—especially in the beginning—that finding equilibrium may be a challenge. Feisty Leo may seem overbearing and dictatorial to gentle, mild-mannered Pisces, while Pisces can appear perpetually changeable and wishy-washy to the resolute, lion-like personality of Leo. Leo, a natural-born leader, tends to love the limelight as much as the limelight loves them, whereas Pisces is probably the shiest and most easily overawed of all the Western signs. Hence it can be quite difficult for these two to agree about essential matters like where to go, and what to do.
The great mystery of the Quincunx, however, means that these apparently serious incompatibilities are often not experienced as overly challenging. In fact, these opposite signs can share a great and lasting attraction, at a physical level certainly, but also intellectually and creatively. Leo's Fixed modality offers real-world achievement, actualization, and impact. This is a perfect complement to Pisces' Mutable energy, which emphasizes implications, consequences, and potential for the future. Shared projects between these signs may provoke all manner of disagreements, but they are destined to be both highly original and fully realized.
Leo and Pisces are likely to need plenty of room to move and work independently. Problems will also need to be dealt with quickly, for Quincunx energy is vulnerable to instability and resentment if wounds are left untreated. With sensitivity and effective strategies in place, however, the potential for personal and creative growth here is virtually unlimited. Ultimately, there is every chance of a lasting, warm, and deeply nourishing relationship.

Elaine Anderson Steinbeck (8/14/1914, Leo Tiger), John Steinbeck (2/27/1902, Pisces Tiger) : Celebrated author John Steinbeck and stage manager Elaine Steinbeck were married from 1950 until John's death in 1968. In a letter written shortly after they first met, John described: "I have the excited feeling of a storm. Something has changed of course—something I didn’t think ever could again and I am a little terrified but I surely would not have it any other way...Do you know, I am putting off ending this letter as though the end would be the end of something I want to hold on to."
Mila Kunis (8/14/1983, Leo Pig), Glenn Close (3/19/1947, Pisces Pig) : The two actors formed a close friendship when they co-starred together in the film, Four Good Days (2020). Close described: "I absolutely adore Mila. She’s really gifted, she leapt into this part, and for someone who is known for romantic comedy and for being so beautiful, she just really found a character very true to the character. From the very beginning we had great chemistry so she’s now a friend for life." Kunis said, "[Close is] just great to be around, energetically and otherwise, everything about her, her effortless nature, it’s infectious."
Fidel Castro (8/13/1926, Leo Tiger), Gabriel García Márquez (3/6/1927, Pisces Rabbit) : The Cuban leader Castro and author Garcia Marquez shared a close friendship from around 1977 until Marquez' death in 2014. Among many connections, Marquez was known to send advance copies of his manuscripts to Castro for fact-checking, as documented in the book, Fidel & Gabo: A Portrait of the Legendary Friendship Between Fidel Castro and Gabriel Garcia Marquez (2009), by Angel Esteban and Stephanie Panichelli. In 2006, Marquez described: "When [Castro] talks with people in the street, his conversation regains the expressiveness and crude frankness of genuine affection...This is the Fidel Castro that I believe I know. A man of austere habits and insatiable illusions, with an old-fashioned formal education of cautious words and subdued tones, and incapable of conceiving any idea that is not colossal."
Pat Metheny (8/12/1954, Leo Horse), Ornette Coleman (3/9/1930, Pisces Horse) : The two celebrated jazz musicians—Coleman a saxophonist and Metheny a guitarist—joined together to record the album, Song X (1986). Metheny described later: "The weeks leading up to the making of [Song X] were really intense, and unbelievably inspiring. In our first meeting, we agreed that we should try to do something that was unlike anything that might be expected of either of us – and that we should try to develop a language and a way of playing together that was particular to this project...In addition to being one of the giants of modern music, Ornette is one of the most gentle and soulful human beings on the face of the earth. His humor, so evident in his music, informs all aspects of his off-the-bandstand behavior as well – his music being literally a perfect reflection of the man inside. And his in humility, in the face of his overwhelming accomplishments and abilities, we find a reserve of personal wisdom that matches his gift as a musician."
Kay Cannon (8/22/1974, Leo Tiger), Camila Cabello (3/3/1997, Pisces Ox) : The director Cannon collaborated with Cabello on the movie musical, Cinderella (2021). Cannon described: "Well, it was amazing working with [Cabello]. I mean, really, truly. I felt like we were a perfect match. I think we both had a lot at stake. It was her first time acting. And then her first time acting, she's playing Cinderella, this iconic character. And it's a big movie for me, too. I had never directed a musical. So we really connected and we really trusted each other. We have very similar senses of humor, and I think what she brings to the table is this rawness. She's a really hard worker. She's very smart, so she sees the world through these young eyes, but they're informed young eyes, where she's always trying to learn."
Joe Jonas (8/15/1989, Leo Snake), Sophie Turner (2/21/1996, Pisces Rat) : The singer/songwriter/actor Jonas and actor Turner began dating in 2016, and married in 2019. They have two children. Turner described about their first meeting: "I remember the two of us spending only a couple of minutes on the dance floor, and then we just found a space far in the corner and we just talked. We talked for hours, and hours, and hours. And I was, like, not bored. It wasn't contrived. It wasn't small talk — it was just so easy. And soon we were, like, inseparable. I went on tour with him."

Compatibility overview
A genuine treasure trove if ever there was one, two souls born in the year of the Pig typically share an incredible generosity of spirit. These two know how to have a good time! As with any own-sign combination, they will need to manage a lack of balance. Competitiveness, over-indulgence, and occasionally spectacular naivety would not be unexpected. Nevertheless, these two kindred spirits typically share a multitude of gifts and good fortune, making for a generally delightful relationship.

Underlying the Chinese zodiac is the basic concept of the four Trine Families, like the elements in Western astrology. The Pig belongs to the same peace-loving, generous, and idealistic family as the Rabbit and Sheep. Hence two Pig souls will often find they get along easily from the get-go, as they share a bedrock of common values, and have a naturally gregarious character that makes socializing a joy.
Even given their reputation for generosity, most Pig natives can still surprise and delight their friends with their selflessness and amiable, magnanimous personalities. Two Pigs together can find they effortlessly create an atmosphere rich with merriment and conviviality. In quick time, they could literally be falling over each other to share such wealth as they possess, both material and immaterial. It is rare indeed for a Pig to find themselves more receiving than giving, so part of the excitement for these two when they get together is likely to involve trying to outdo each other's compliments and self-sacrifice. Nor is the public-spiritedness of the Pig confined to intimate or local settings. The Pig is often tirelessly devoted to social causes and remedying injustice. Two Pigs will typically bond over a common desire to improve the lives of everyone around them, and to advocate fiercely for the underprivileged or disenfranchised.
To be sure, own-sign matches are always faced with an overabundance of some energy, and a lack of corrective balance. The benevolent Pig usually cannot help but be the life of the party, so two Pigs may sometimes find it hard to accommodate each other's largesse without feeling cramped or eclipsed. Self-discipline is rarely the Pig's strongest suit, so a pair of this sign will need to be careful to avoid potentially stunning indulgence, lest they over-extend themselves physically, financially, or otherwise. The Pig's trusting nature can be a powerful asset, but it can leave them vulnerable to exploitation. Two souls born under this sign will need to be doubly careful to avoid being taken advantage of by others, or perhaps on occasion by each other.
Ultimately, some Pig duos may find that a healthy dose of independence relieves the pressure of an intensely close connection. That said, many people born under this sign are blessed by an abundance of good fortune. Hence two members of this sign may find they are able to leverage the significant affinities between them into a lasting and extremely lucky connection.

Christopher Guest (2/5/1948, Aquarius Pig), Michael McKean (10/17/1947, Libra Pig) : Director/actor/musician/comedian/screenwriter Guest and actor/musician/comedian/screenwriter McKean are friends who have been working together since the 1960s. Their collaborations include the films, This is Spinal Tap (1984), Best in Show (2000), and A Mighty Wind (2003), and the TV series, Family Tree (2013). McKean described in 2013, "Chris and I have known each other since 1967, and we’ve done a lot of stuff together. We started writing songs together immediately. We have a handful of songs that nobody has ever heard and probably will never hear. But we just kind of hit it off right away...Chris Guest is a conductor. He’s a conductor of kind of a jazz orchestra. He wants you to go wherever you want to go, but he also knows how to keep time, and he knows when you need more of something or less of something. And that’s how he does it."
Dolly Wells (12/5/1971, Sagittarius Pig), Emily Mortimer (12/1/1971, Sagittarius Pig) : The two actor/writers are lifelong friends, who co-wrote and co-starred in the British TV series, Doll & Em (2014-2015). They subsequently collaborated on the film, Good Posture (2019, written and directed by Wells). Mortimer described in 2015: "Part of the reason that we have a good rapport as writing partners – and as friends – is that we talk about everything. There’s no stone that goes unturned. Even when we got irritated with each other we talk about it immediately and analyse it compulsively and so any problem that arises gets talked out quite quickly, and it goes away."
Snoop Dogg (10/20/1971, Libra Pig), Shante Broadus (10/30/1971, Scorpio Pig) : The legendary rapper Snoop Dogg and businesswoman Broadus were a couple in high school, and married in 1997. They have four children. After a separation during the 2000s, they renewed their vows in 2008. After appointing Broadus as his official manager in 2021, Snoop described, "Shante has been guiding my career behind the scenes from day one. She has always been my final gut check with all my decisions, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without her. I am grateful to have her as my official manager, helping to build the Snoop Dogg empire together." He previously said in 2013, "[Broadus is] always right. Because you gotta understand the turmoil and stuff that I put her through, in my journey on becoming successful, because I had no understanding of how I was doing her, how I was hurting her, and how I was betraying myself, until I became a man and realized that I had to love this woman who loved me and had my kids, and put my life in perspective and let my music and my business be secondary."
Nicholas L. Ashe (5/1/1995, Taurus Pig), Justice Smith (8/9/1995, Leo Pig) : The two actors announced in 2020 that they were queer, and in a relationship. In a 2022 advertising campaign, Ashe told Smith, "I remember when my mom passed, I asked you to not be further than like, two inches from me for a while. And you just really like honored that."
Emma Thompson (4/15/1959, Aries Pig), Hugh Laurie (6/11/1959, Gemini Pig) : The two actors dated at university in the 1970s and have remained good friends. In 2000, Thompson described whimsically, "[Laurie] is very loveable. He is one of those rare people who manages to be lugubriously sexy, like a well-hung eel." In a speech celebrating Thompson's induction to the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2010, Laurie said, "[Thompson has always] oozed talent. She said talented things, she wore talented clothes, she rode a talented bicycle, she made talented spaghetti. She is a truly remarkable person, a very good friend, and I could not be prouder."
Chris Hemsworth (8/11/1983, Leo Pig), Tessa Thompson (10/3/1983, Libra Pig) : The two actors have formed a strong and popular friendship, after working together on blockbuster films including, Thor: Ragnarok (2017), Avengers: Endgame (2019), Men in Black: International (2019), and Thor: Love and Thunder (2022). Thompson described in 2019, "[M]y whole trajectory since I’ve started [on blockbusters] has been with Chris. I feel really lucky because he’s so good at it and so giving and has taught me so much about the stamina it takes to make these kinds of movies, the imagination, the sense of humor, and how important it is to keep morale up on set, which he does so well. In the history of Hollywood movies there’s been so many duos that get to work on tons of films together in this line of Hepburn and Tracy. So I loved that idea of taking two people and putting them in different kinds of circumstances." Hemsworth said, "Having this great friendship that continues to grow through each of these experiences has been a huge advantage...[W]e were lucky enough from day one on ‘Ragnarok’ to notice that we’re like-minded and have similar approaches to our work. It’s definitely one of my favorite working relationships."
