Western Zodiac
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.

No. I love you. I'm gonna stay here and help you live. I'm gonna stay here and we're gonna beat this thing. We're gonna figure out how to beat this thing.'"
Dustin Hoffman (8/8/1937, Leo Ox), Gene Hackman (1/30/1930, Aquarius Horse) : The two acting legends have been friends for more than half a century. They famously lived together (with Robert Duvall) before finding fame.

They have two children together. Kunis has described, "I think we're silly at home. We're very goofy parents when it comes to our children. But ... none of that's skill, I think that's just being idiots. Like, I think we're very comfortable with ourselves acting a fool at home."
Toni Morrison (2/18/1931, Aquarius Sheep), James Baldwin (8/2/1924, Leo Rat) : The two celebrated authors were close friends.

How strengthened I was by the certainty that came from knowing you would never hurt me? You knew, didn’t you, how I loved your love? You knew."
Neil Armstrong (8/5/1930, Leo Horse), Buzz Aldrin (1/20/1930, Aquarius Snake) : The two astronauts have been closely associated as colleagues since they became the first humans to walk on the moon in July, 1969. In a statement after Armstrong died in 2012, Aldrin wrote: "I am deeply saddened by the passing of my good friend, and space exploration companion, Neil Armstrong today…Whenever I look at the moon I am reminded of that precious moment, over four decades ago, when Neil and I stood on the desolate, barren, yet beautiful, Sea of Tranquility, looking back at our brilliant blue planet Earth suspended in the darkness of space…I know I am joined by many millions of others from around the world in mourning the passing of a true American hero and the best pilot I ever knew. 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."
Carlos Vives (8/7/1961, Leo Ox), Shakira (2/2/1977, Aquarius Dragon) : The two Colombian singer/songwriters share a close friendship, and collaborated on the Latin Grammy-winning song, "La Bicicleta" (2016).

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!"
Emmanuelle Béart (8/14/1963, Leo Rabbit), Daniel Auteuil (1/24/1950, Aquarius Ox) : The two French acting legends were together for 11 years and have a daughter together.

Compatibility according to the Chinese zodiac depends first and foremost on the four Trine Families. As well as the Trine matches themselves, each sign has a cherished Soulmate match, comprised of a member of their kindred family. The Tiger (whose family consists of the Dog and Horse) and Pig (whose family is made up of the Rabbit and Sheep) share such this Soulmate energy.
The key to understanding Soulmate energy is that each sign has a particular sensitivity and admiration for the most authentic qualities of the other. Even across a crowded room, the Pig will often pick up on the majestic impulses of the Tiger, typically at once humanitarian and ambitious. The Tiger is equally apt to notice the Pig's infinite generosity and often underestimated, yet potentially prodigious, intellectual and physical capabilities. There is also a distinctly affirming and protective quality to this heartfelt match. The Tiger may feel as if it is their natural-born responsibility to shield the Pig from their tendencies towards naivety and over-indulgence. The Pig—who usually brings a beautifully selfless quality to most of their relationships—is often perfectly attuned to, and comfortable guarding against, the Tiger's predisposition towards risk-taking or over-committing themselves. Perhaps most important of all is the simple joy that these two can share, delighting in each other's company, and taking greater pleasure in the other's happiness than their own.
Of course, Soulmate energy is no free ride. The connection between the Pig and Tiger tends to demand commitment and respect. Even in professional settings, both parties could wind up bruised, even deeply hurt, if for whatever reason the other sign is unwilling or unable to match their admiration or devotion. Other relationships, with perhaps less abundant potential, may ultimately prove more resistant to competing priorities or disappointment.
However, if these two can carve out the space they need to work closely together, or to explore and care for each other as intimates, the sky really is the limit for this wonderful pairing.

Bernie Taupin (5/22/1950, Gemini Tiger), Elton John (3/25/1947, Aries Pig) : Acclaimed singer/songwriter Elton and lyricist Taupin have shared a 50-year songwriting collaboration that is one of the most successful partnerships of all time. Taupin described in 2019: "When we started it out it was really just me and him...I’d like to think I’ve been someone who can’t be ruffled by the insanity of [Elton's] career—and that I’ve always been there as the soft pillow to fall on in times of need...If we’ve weathered the storm now for over 50 years and have been able to maintain this extraordinary bond with each other, I don’t think there’s anything on god’s green earth that could separate us now."
Stephanie Allynne (9/19/1986, Virgo Tiger), Tig Notaro (3/24/1971, Aries Pig) : Comedian Notaro and actor Allynne married in 2015. They have two children, twins born in 2016. Allynne described in 2015: "I had not dated women before, and I think when we first started spending time with each other, I was so into Tig and I was falling in love with her and I didn't know how to identify it because I thought I was straight. I kept gravitating toward her and wanting to spend time with her, and then in the process of recognizing that in myself, I was like, 'Oh my god, I am fully in love with this person.' It kind of blew my mind in terms of sexual orientation, where you're like, 'I'm this way, and it's black-and-white.' I look back and go, 'God, I closed the door that I had no idea what was behind it.'"
Bill Murray (9/21/1950, Virgo Tiger), Sofia Coppola (5/14/1971, Taurus Pig) : The director and actor have collaborated multiple times, including the films, Lost in Translation (2003)—for which they both received Academy Award nominations—A Very Murray Christmas (2015), and On the Rocks (2020). Speaking about Lost in Translation, Coppola described: "It was about when you have a connection with someone. You never know. When you encounter someone you can instantly be hit by a look or a sense of humor. It was something that’s romantic without a sexual or real relationship. It does not mean he could actually be with you, but you could still have something of that bittersweet aspect. It’s the best way to connect with someone...[Murray's] so smart. He got what that character was looking for. We didn’t talk about it. He showed up and knew the tone of it. He found it as we went. He just got it. I feel a connection with him, in that he understands what I’m trying to do."
John Slattery (8/13/1962, Leo Tiger), Talia Balsam (3/5/1959, Pisces Pig) : The two actors have been married since 1998, and have one child. They played husband and wife, Roger and Mona Sterling, in the series, Mad Men (2007-2015), and also appeared together in the film, Return (2011). Slattery described in 2019, "I just found the right person, you know, I lucked out. I guess marry someone you like. We get along well, we always have, and I guess being in show business, some people say it’s difficult. I don’t know. We understand the rhythms of this life, which aren’t easy sometimes and there’s insecurity. You’re not sure where you’re going to be. So I don’t know. I got lucky."
Emilia Clarke (10/23/1986, Scorpio Tiger), Emma Thompson (4/15/1959, Aries Pig) : The two actors formed a close friendship when they collaborated on the film, Last Christmas (2019), which was co-written by Thompson. Clarke described: "I remember just looking at [Thompson] and being like, 'Just let me know if I mess it up.' She was like, 'What!' Gets me in this huge hug, and is like, 'I’ll do nothing of the sort. You’re going to be fine.' That was the dynamic from there on out. She just supported us in [this] magical way. I hadn’t met her before [the film] but I had been pretty obsessed with her my whole life. When I met her, she exceeded all of my expectations...I’ve had the good fortune of going to visit her and [her husband] Greg’s house in Scotland. They love a good sauna. You jump into their stream, you get freezing cold, and then you jump back in the sauna, and then get back in the stream. It was me, Emma, and Greg in the nude in a sauna, jumping back and forth and shrieking…it was a dream."
Jeff Garlin (6/5/1962, Gemini Tiger), Larry David (7/2/1947, Cancer Pig) : The two comedians have famously become close friends through their collaboration on the show, Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000-present). Garlin described in 2011: "We discovered our connection during the audition process for the initial Curb special, and it felt instantly like we'd worked together our entire lives. I don't know why we have this relationship, but we do. Maybe we were slaves together in an earlier life. And in Curb Your Enthusiasm we were doing what we did and not having a clue whether people would get it or like it. The fact that it's gone on to be a big success, I am shocked. Because it truly was something that was organic, that we did to make ourselves laugh."
Tony Bennett (8/3/1926, Leo Tiger), Amy Winehouse (9/14/1983, Virgo Pig) : The two singers collaborated on the song, "Body and Soul", from Bennett's Grammy-winning album, Duets II (2011). The song was Bennett's first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for 45 years, and proved to be Winehouse's last recording. In Bennett's autobiography, Just Getting Started (2016), he wrote: "Should I have told [Winehouse] that I'd contended a little bit with [drugs and alcohol] myself and knew how you can fall into a bad cycle, but I also knew that you could bring yourself back? Would it have made a difference if someone she considered an idol had said to her something like, 'You're my idol. You are a once-in-a-lifetime talent. Please don't take that from the world.' [Maybe I should have said: ] Walk away from it all, if you like. Just live. Please."
