Not a headline-grabber, perhaps, but this combination of the delightfully puzzling firstwest and secondwest with the naturally harmonious firsteast and secondeast can be a true unsung hero.

Libra and Pisces
Compatibility overview
Traditionally, astrologers saw firstwest and secondwest as strangers with next to nothing in common. In practice, however, the ambiguity of this combination can be surprisingly delightful, and these two are capable of powerful creative synergies and lasting intimacy.

The interval of five steps around the Western zodiac wheel, as there are between Libra and Pisces, is known as a Quincunx (or inconjunct) aspect. In classical astrology, this 150° angle had quite a poor reputation. It was thought that the two signs were too different, too fundamentally out of alignment, to enjoy a meaningfully positive connection.
Admittedly, the respective elements are not well suited. Libra's Air energy is irrepressibly intellectual, whereas Pisces is the most emotionally sensitive and variable of all the signs. Libra's enthusiasm for brainstorming from all angles can thus often strike Pisces as at once exhausting and superficial. Pisces' deep feelings and moodiness, on the other hand, may weigh down Libra's instinctive excitability. Libra may crave some headspace that is less sombre or changeable.
The beauty of the Quincunx connection, however—and the reason the Libra/Pisces match is too often underestimated—is that the tension here is rarely antagonistic. In fact, for both signs, the inevitable misunderstandings or contrasting instincts between them can often seem pleasantly intriguing. Perplexed but amiable banter is par for the course. Affection, physical or otherwise, flows gently and easily. Libra's Cardinal modality, with its always-beginning purity and excitement, gels superbly with Pisces' end-and-beyond, contemplative Mutable energy. Therefore, while collaboration between these two may need plenty of separation to cater to their essential differences, the prospects for ultimate success are actually considerable. Creative projects that blend the contrasting qualities Libra and Pisces bring can be especially impressive and rewarding. Intimate or family collaborations, too, can harness the pair's disparate energy into remarkably effective unions. Importantly, the Quincunx energy between Libra and Pisces can tthough be far less resistant to headwinds than other relationships. Therefore it is important for problems to be worked out quickly.
With requisite individual space and effective dispute resolution this contrary pairing can defy expectations and succeed astonishingly well in a wide range of contexts.

Michael Douglas (9/25/1944, Libra Monkey), Sharon Stone (3/10/1958, Pisces Dog) : I found that as I began dipping my toe into Kamala’s world, it brought us even closer together. I realized how much of yourself you leave on the trail, how much these stories weigh on you, and—though I couldn’t imagine it possible before this—I grew to understand and admire who she is and what she’s been able to accomplish even more. She had such a tremendous weight on her shoulders, and we were in a fight for the soul of this nation—together.
Dorothea Hurley (9/29/1962, Libra Tiger), Jon Bon Jovi (3/2/1962, Pisces Tiger) : The musician/founding member of Bon Jovi and his partner met at high school. They have been together for over 40 years and celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary in 2019. They have four children together. Bon Jovi has described: "[Our secret is] [m]utual respect. Having grown up together and grown together. And we really like each other. We want to hang out...[W]e enjoy each other and we never fell for the trappings of what celebrity can do."
Tim Robbins (10/16/1958, Libra Dog), Robert Altman (2/20/1925, Pisces Ox) : The actor and actor/director collaborated on multiple occasions, including on the films The Player, Short Cuts, and Ready to Wear. In 1997, Altman expressed his admiration for Robbins, saying: "If an actor doesn't surprise me, I don't work with him again. They've got to show me something I could never think up myself. But what really amazed me was Tim's restraint as a director in Dead Man Walking. A lot of guys are facile at showing off. But he hid. To do that, you have to have your ego in the right place. I can't do that. It was masterful."
Gwyneth Paltrow (9/27/1972, Libra Rat), Daniel Craig (3/2/1968, Pisces Monkey) : The two actors have been friends since co-starring together in Sylvia (2003). Paltrow recently admitted to being somewhat overawed by Craig: "If you’re friends with someone before they become James Bond, and then they become James Bond and you’re nervous to see them at a party because they are now James Bond, is that weird?"
Mary Beth Hurt (9/26/1946, Libra Dog), Glenn Close (3/19/1947, Pisces Pig) : The two actors have been close friends since the 1970s. Close described: "I remember one time we were in an actor bar, and I think a famous tennis player came up and [Hurt] literally said, 'Shoo! Shoo! Go away.' She’s very funny, very smart, and I always felt a little like I didn’t quite measure up. Because I didn’t think I could be that kind of witty-funny. But I remember deciding that I’d much rather have Mary Beth as my friend than to try to be the wit of the party. And we’ve had this extraordinary friendship our whole careers."
Tom Petty (10/20/1950, Libra Tiger), George Harrison (2/25/1943, Pisces Sheep) : The two celebrated musicians became friends when they collaborated as part of The Travelling Wilburys. Petty described: "The Hindus think that when you meet someone and you feel really close to them immediately, that maybe you knew them in a past life. And that was how it was with George. We instantly became very close. And I remember him saying to me, 'You know I’m not going to let you out of my life now.' We really got along well, and shared a sense of humor. And we became very close friends."

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 (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."
Bill Clinton (8/19/1946, Leo Dog), Hillary Rodham Clinton (10/26/1947, Scorpio Pig) : The former President and First Lady of the United States are one of the most famous married couples in the world. Hillary Clinton said in 2020: "I’ve always loved Bill, and I always knew he loved me. I’ve always believed in our marriage, our relationship, the parenting of our daughter and our shared life."
Alec Baldwin (4/3/1958, Aries Dog), Hilaria Baldwin (1/6/1984, Capricorn Pig) : The actor and yoga instructor/entrepreneur married in 2012 and have since had six children together.

Freddie Mercury (9/5/1946, Virgo Dog), Brian May (7/19/1947, Cancer Pig) : The singer and guitarist were founding members of the band Queen, and worked together for over 20 years until Mercury's death in 1991. 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 (5/20/1946, Taurus Dog), Sonny Bono (2/16/1935, Aquarius Pig) : The singer/actor and singer/politician were married from 1964 to 1975 and comprised the world-famous pop music duo, Sonny & Cher. 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."
