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."
Martha Stewart (8/3/1941, Leo Snake), Snoop Dogg (10/20/1971, Libra Pig) : The rapper and TV personality formed an unexpected friendship after Snoop appeared on Stewart's cooking show in 2008. They went on to co-star in their own show, Martha & Snoop's Potluck Dinner Party. 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. Banderas has described: "I had the biggest laughs I’ve ever had in my entire career of making movies with him. And we’ve had great times; absolutely great, great moments. I can tell you many beautiful stories about the movies we’ve done together. They will always be in my memory."
Ali Krieger (7/28/1984, Leo Rat), Ashlyn Harris (10/19/1985, Libra Ox) : The two US soccer players have been together since 2010 and married in 2019. 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."

Compatibility overview
Chinese astrologers are well known for unflinching assessments of relationships they believe do not attract good fortune. That is certainly the case with the match between Dog and Dragon, one of the six famous Opposites. In short, this relationship has a notorious reputation for hostility and tension. Nevertheless, there is more to the story here, as the prospects are by no means exclusively bad.

The infamous reputation of the Opposite matches in the Chinese zodiac stems from the directly opposed energy between them. Negative traits tend to be constantly amplified. In the case of the Dog and Dragon, the faithful Dog is apt to get caught between fawning infatuation and deep-seated anxiety. The Dragon is likely to exploit cruelty and criticism to get the attention they crave.
Probably the greatest problem is the potential lack of respect. The Dog's well-earned reputation for hard work and loyalty may seem wasteful and weak in the eyes of the proud Dragon. Meanwhile, the Dragon's incomparable flare and drive could strike the Dog as lacking substance—as well as ignoring, even bullying, those less fortunate.
When these two find themselves in partnership, whatever the context, it can be helpful to keep these essential differences in mind. Ultimately, they each supply universal energy that the other does not have. While perhaps unsympathetic as between them, the result can be awesomely powerful. This is a pairing that can dominate social, business, or political circles, sporting arenas, indeed the world at large. But they are likely to need a range of more congenial allies, too, if they are to maintain patience with one another for an extended length of time.

Vladimir Putin (10/7/1952, Libra Dragon), Donald Trump (6/14/1946, Gemini Dog) : The relationship between President Trump of the US and President Putin of Russia was a source of much fascination during the former's term in the Oval Office. In the US, the apparent friendliness between the two—historically unprecedented between Russian and American leaders—drew criticism from Democrats and even some Republicans.
Harvey Weinstein (3/19/1952, Pisces Dragon), Steven Spielberg (12/18/1946, Sagittarius Dog) : The celebrated film director and now-infamous producer already shared a fraught relationship long before Weinstein's conviction as a sex offender. The tension between them resulted in two competing movie projects about the kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara, as well as a confrontation over Shakespeare in Love defeating Saving Private Ryan for the 1999 Best Picture Oscar. "When I saw Spielberg later, I don’t think it was a lovefest," Weinstein said about the incident. "That was a tough one."
Jeb Bush (2/11/1953, Aquarius Dragon), George W. Bush (7/6/1946, Cancer Dog) : The two brothers, part of the Bush political dynasty and respectively a former US President and Governor of Florida, have famously shared a fractious but formally supportive relationship. A cousin described in a published memoir that, "When they were young, Jeb was just somebody for George to torture."
Orlando Bloom (1/13/1977, Capricorn Dragon), Justin Bieber (3/1/1994, Pisces Dog) : The singer and actor made headlines after an altercation between them in Ibiza, Spain. Footage of the event appeared to show Bloom throwing a chair at Bieber.
Rihanna (2/20/1988, Pisces Dragon), Nicki Minaj (12/8/1982, Sagittarius Dog) : These two legendary entertainers collaborated together on tracks including "Fly" and "Raining Men" in 2010. After years of a rumoured feud and apparently unfollowing each other on social media, they reunited in 2021.
Chelsea Noble (12/4/1964, Sagittarius Dragon), Kirk Cameron (10/12/1970, Libra Dog) : The two actors married in 1991 and have six children (four of whom are adopted). They met on the set of the TV show, Growing Pains (1985-1992). They have since starred together in films including A Little Piece of Heaven (1991) and Mercy Rule (2014), and several times Noble has played an uncredited "kissing double", as Cameron is an Evangelical Christian who refuses to kiss a woman who is not his wife. Noble has described: "We've learned that we have to be respectful fo each other's need for personal space. On the set, we have separate dressing rooms, and sometimes that's where we find personal time. Because of our friendship, we can say 'I need a little space' or 'I need some time alone,' and we respect that, instead of taking it personally...Instead of taking our frustrations out on each other, we've learned how to best work through things. We don't walk away from each other, or run to separate work places. We face each other and work things out."

Final Words
The energy between firstwest and secondwest reflects their Sextile aspect—in almost any context, they are likely to be trusted allies, sharing easygoing humor and having each other’s backs through thick and thin. Here, though, the influence on the Chinese zodiac side tells a very different story, for the firsteast and the secondeast are true Opposites, often locked in an explosive cycle of difference and conflict. There is real potential here—the firsteast and secondeast can be wildly successful if they manage to unite in common enterprise—but it may be essential to focus on the peaceable effects of the firstwest/secondwest match to achieve stability.
