Leo and Aquarius

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.

My friend Neil took the small step but giant leap that changed the world and will forever be remembered as a historic moment in human history…I will miss my friend Neil as I know our fellow citizens and people around world will miss this foremost aviation and space pioneer."

An extraordinary musician, and even more extraordinary is your faithful friend’s heart...Artists like you appear every thousand years. That’s why today we want to pay tribute to you. What you have done for our Colombia, neither politicians nor philanthropists [have] achieved. Thank you for rescuing our folklore and reminding us of what we were, what we are, and what we can be. 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. And you have reminded us of how much we are worth, what we feel, and how strongly we can love. Your legacy is invaluable because it represents us all. Keep building it for us and fly high like a condor over the mountains! I love you, friend. We all love you!"

They have remained on excellent terms. Speaking of the relationship later, Auteuil described how Béart expanded his horizons beyond the dramatic arts, while she has said, "I lived eleven years with a man and I never got tired of it."

Sheep and Sheep

Compatibility overview

A pairing between two Sheep natives is a standout match, not just among own-sign matches, but among all matches in the Chinese zodiac. Naturally, the overlap between these personalities results in occasional overfamiliarity. But the Sheep's artistic sensibilities and gentle nature mean they are well-equipped to resolve problems and concentrate on the good things in life—not least each other.

Chinese astrology is built on the foundation of the four Trine Families. The family of the Sheep (which also includes the Pig and Rabbit) is well known for their love of beauty, peace, and coziness. Two Sheep together thus share a bedrock of values that are close to their heart.

Early conversations will likely emphasize the importance of family, as well as artistic subjects of various kinds, for the Sheep is one of the most naturally creative and visionary of all the Chinese zodiac signs. Because they are also highly sensitive to disruptions of one kind or another, two Sheep will also frequently bond over things they don't like. Cruelty, injustice, and ugliness are usually anathema to these idealist souls, and sharing their romantic outlook with a fellow Sheep can be a source of profound existential comfort. Naturally, as time passes, having so much in common can make for close and lasting friendships and professional collaborations, as well as gentle and intimate personal relationships.

A pair of Sheep will have to keep a lookout for the effect of anxiety on their shared lives. Sheep natives can sometimes be just as worried about potential or imagined disturbances as real ones. Without the calming influence of contrary energy, these two might sometimes be guilty of stressing unnecessarily or over-reacting, using a sledgehammer to crush a walnut so to speak. Clear strategies to address paranoia or excessive sensitivity are likely to prove useful. Fortunately, the Sheep personality is adept at seeking out and maintaining the tranquility they need to be at their happiest and most productive.

Two Sheep working together will usually be able to shake off their anxieties quickly and fulfil themselves in the ways they cherish most—with highly original creativity, joyful conversation, and blissful environments. Having such desires in common, there is a strong prospect that in any context, two Sheep will form a lasting and intensely rewarding bond.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban

Nicole Kidman (6/20/1967, Gemini Sheep), Keith Urban (10/26/1967, Scorpio Sheep) : The actor and singer have been married for 15 years and have two children together. Urban has described how he entered rehab for addiction within months of their wedding, saying, "I caused the implosion of my fresh marriage. It survived, but it’s a miracle it did. For the first time in my life, I could shake off the shackles of addiction." Later, speaking of the support Urban provided after the death of her father, Kidman said, "To have my husband to step up in that way, it makes me cry. He’s amazing. I will keep him. I’ll do anything for that man."

Imelda Staunton (1/9/1956, Capricorn Sheep), Mike Leigh (2/20/1943, Pisces Sheep) : The actor and director worked together on the multi-award-winning films, Vera Drake (2004) and Another Year (2010). Staunton described in 2005: "Mike empowers you as an actor. We created together the character of Vera [Drake] from the day she was born. The creative process was long but very fulfilling, because it involved improvisations and extensive research of the whole period...The sessions with Mike are always very personal, one-to-one. During that time, you don’t talk to the other actors at all. You don’t exchange notes about what you're doing, or what they're doing. Each one of us only talks to Mike. My sessions with Mike varied in length, but they were always one-to-one."

Bonnie Wright and Evanna Lynch

Evanna Lynch (8/16/1991, Leo Sheep), Bonnie Wright (2/17/1991, Aquarius Sheep) : The two actors co-starred in the Harry Potter film series, and have gone on to share a friendship based on similar commitments to activism. Promoting an event to publicize Wright's book, Go Gently: Actionable Steps to Nurture Yourself and the Planet (2022), Lynch posted in 2022: "Over the past few years, I’ve been very inspired by Bonnie’s lifestyle and her passion and commitment to sustainability and to making sustainable practices accessible for everyone. I’ve seen her in many different settings gently but consistently advocate for zero-waste facilities, and each time, it jolted me into realising how wasteful and careless of the planet my normal everyday habits become, unless I consciously choose otherwise...I have LOTS of questions for Bonnie!! And I cannot wait to ask them and be part of this conversation on May 10th!"

Jason Momoa (8/1/1979, Leo Sheep), Lisa Bonet (11/16/1967, Scorpio Sheep) : The couple were together for 16 years and married for five. Early in the relationship, they made headlines because of the 12-year age difference—when they met, Momoa was 25, Bonet 37. They have two children together and remain close after separating in 2022. A joint statement issued after the separation described: "We have all felt the squeeze and changes of these transformational times… A revolution is unfolding — and our family is of no exception… feeling and growing from the seismic shifts occurring...The love between us carries on, evolving in ways it wishes to be known and lived. We free each other — to be who we are learning to become…Our devotion unwavering to this sacred life and our Children."

Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner

Leonard Nimoy (3/26/1931, Aries Sheep), William Shatner (3/22/1931, Aries Sheep) : The two actors were close friends who created one of the most iconic on-screen relationships of all time, as Captain Kirk and Spock in the original Star Trek film and TV series. Shatner described in his book, Nimoy, Leonard: My Fifty-Year Friendship With a Remarkable Man (2016) that the pair grew apart later in life, which Shatner has described with great regret: "No, [I never understood why,] and [Nimoy] was my dearest friend. We talked about all kinds of things in the darkness of the limousine, about divorce and children. But something happened, I don’t know what, it was so bizarre. But his daughter told me not long ago: 'He really loved you.' And that moved me to tears."

Barbara Eden (8/23/1931, Virgo Sheep), Larry Hagman (9/21/1931, Virgo Sheep) : The two actors displayed memorable chemistry as the stars of I Dream of Jeannie (1965-1970), in spite of Hagman's famously erratic behavior and alcoholism. They later appeared together on the show, Dallas (1978-1991), and in the play, Love Letters. Eden has said that there was never a romantic relationship between them, although, "We just...we clicked. We had the same rhythm. We’ve got the same truth out of whatever we were doing. I loved him a lot." Eden described that once, when she was upset after an incident on set, Hagman comforted her: "Don't cry, Barbara. That's my act."

Mick Jagger and Keith Richards

Mick Jagger (7/26/1943, Leo Sheep), Keith Richards (12/18/1943, Sagittarius Sheep) : The two founding members of The Rolling Stones knew each other as children, and have shared a lifelong collaboration that is one of the most famous working relationships of all time. Richards described in 2021: "It's almost indescribable. When Mick and I are out there [on stage] working, we both know that, ‘Hey, I'm counting on you.’ And there's a beautiful jousting and also like a support. That's where I feel my friendship with Mick more intensely than at any other time he's on stage. You know, I have his back. He has mine. It's an interesting piece of improvisation goes on every night and it's like, how far do you want to push it? And that's half the fun of it. It's never the same, this show, there's no script."

Final Words

Overall, this relationship offers a highly promising blend of excitement, nourishment, and reliability.
