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.

Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter (click for attribution/s)

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 and Snoop Dogg (click for attribution/s)

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.

Ashlyn Harris and Ali Krieger (click for attribution/s)

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 astrology is often preoccupied with polarized ideas about very harmonious or very troubling energy. The match between the firsteast and secondeast, though, falls into the gray area in between. These signs are different in some fundamental respects, so there is potential for disturbance at times. Nevertheless, there are also some key synergies here, meaning there is potential for a warm and dependable relationship.

The Chinese zodiac relies essentially on four Trine Families (similar to the elements in Western astrology). The families of the Horse (with the Dog and Tiger) and the Rooster (with the Ox and Snake) are generally not considered very harmonious. Indeed, there are some unstable combinations among these two families (such as the Horse and Ox, or the Rooster and Dog). The Horse and Rooster, though, share some very important qualities.

Perhaps foremost among these is that each is so comfortable receiving attention. To be sure, their styles are quite radically different. Where the Horse is likely to strike out on their own, occupying the limelight with lone wolf-style authority, the Rooster is more a dazzling fashionista, with a natural social presence and a sixth sense for group dynamics. Yet for both, the instinct to occupy center stage is an identity-defining trait. Another strong affinity here is the two signs' energy and commitment. For both the Horse and Rooster, beneath their prepossessing appearances lie extraordinary reserves of strength and commitment. It is a peril to underestimate either of these signs.

When they meet, the Horse and Rooster will often be profoundly impressed by each other's achievements and ambitions. There may be times when the differences between the Horse and Rooster bring about some turbulence. The Horse is usually a more restrained creature, who may find the Rooster's relentless panache makes them yearn for private time. The Rooster's social instincts tend to be irrepressible, and they may lose patience with the Horse's desire to escape on their own. Without clear strategies to counter these tensions, both signs may retreat into less positive aspects of their character. The Horse's manner could become cold or aloof, the Rooster's self-absorbed or brash. Successful relationships between these signs therefore may involve some compartmentalizing, so each can regain a sense of themselves distinct from their shared energy.

The synergies here are very strong, after all, and the potential for closeness and solidarity considerable. With some understanding and a shared vision for the future, there is plenty of scope for a close and impactful bond.

Alexis Arquette and Luke Perry (click for attribution/s)

Luke Perry (10/11/1966, Libra Horse), Alexis Arquette (7/28/1969, Leo Rooster) : The actor and actor/activist were friends for over 30 years before Arquette's death in 2016. After Perry died in 2019, Arquette's sister Patricia described: "They were so close. I mean Luke was always there for Alexis all of the time. He loved Alexis to death. Early on, when Luke started having success with Beverly Hills, 90210, there were stories like, 'Luke Perry is gay. He's having a relationship with Alexis Arquette.' And Luke never said it wasn't true. When he was asked about it later, he said, 'Well, to deny that would be saying there is something wrong with it. And there is nothing wrong with that.' So Luke was way ahead of his time."

Kevin Federline (3/21/1978, Aries Horse), Britney Spears (12/2/1981, Sagittarius Rooster) : The musician and former dancer were married from 2004 to 2007 and had two sons together. Federline described in 2008: "I met her at a club in Hollywood, Joseph’s. Our eyes met and that was it. We just hit it off right away...I was madly in love with her. Everything just seemed so right. I didn’t see it as too fast or too slow."

Denzel Washington and Spike Lee (click for attribution/s)

Denzel Washington (12/28/1954, Capricorn Horse), Spike Lee (3/20/1957, Pisces Rooster) : The actor and director have collaborated on four films: Mo' Better Blues (1990), Malcolm X (1992), He Got Game (1998), and Inside Man (2006). Describing Washington's preparation for Malcolm X, Lee said: "There was no pork on his fork and no alcohol. He learnt how to pray in Arabic and he studied the Quran and that's because he is the most intelligent actor on this earth, in my opinion. There are many biopics, but just because you talk and look like the subject, that is only the surface. Denzel knew that his body is a vessel. And if he did the work, that somehow the spirit of Malcom X would come through him. But again, that only came through the work."

Mirka Federer (4/1/1978, Aries Horse), Roger Federer (8/8/1981, Leo Rooster) : The two tennis players met when they both represented Switzerland at the 2000 Olympic Games. They married in 2009 and have two sets of twins together.

Helen Mirren and Bob Hoskins (click for attribution/s)

Bob Hoskins (10/26/1942, Scorpio Horse), Helen Mirren (7/26/1945, Leo Rooster) : The two celebrated British actors collaborated on the films The Long Good Friday (1981) and Last Orders (2001). Following Hoskins' death in 2014, Mirren described: "Bob was a great actor and an even greater man. Funny, loyal, instinctive, hard working, with that inimitable energy that seemed like a spectacular firework rocket just as it takes off. He was never sexist, when many around at that time, were. I had the honour of watching the creation of one of the most memorable characters of British film. Playing again with him was like playing a duet with a brother I had grown up with, which professionally I had. I personally will miss him very much, London will miss one of her best and most loving sons, and Britain will miss a man to be proud of."

Final Words

The Sextile connection between firstwest and secondwest is perhaps the most uniquely joyful and low-maintenance in the Western zodiac, offering both any-kind-of-weather reliability and belly-laughs in spades. This injects welcome lightness to the dynamic between the firsteast and secondeast in this relationship, two signs who often admire and care about each other greatly, but can also experience a sense of not being fully appreciated or understood. Overall, this is an energy matrix that bodes well for trustworthiness and humor, accentuating the highs, and smoothing quickly over the lows.
