Compatibility
Libra Tiger and Pisces Sheep

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.

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.

Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas

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 and Robert Altman

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?"

Glenn Close and Mary Beth Hurt

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."

Tiger and Sheep

Compatibility overview

It is perhaps not as headline-grabbing as other combinations in the Chinese zodiac, but this respectful and nurturing connection has superb potential. The firsteast and secondeast tend to appreciate deeply each other's talents and attitudes, and together they attract considerable good fortune. Given favorable circumstances, this can be an auspicious pairing in any context.

Like the elements in Western astrology, the four Trine Families that underpin the Chinese zodiac divide naturally into compatible pairs. One such pair comprises the family of the Sheep (with the Pig and Rabbit) and the family of the Tiger (with the Dog and Horse). The Sheep and Tiger thus attract some delightfully harmonious surrounding energy.

The Sheep is a profoundly sensitive soul, as deeply caring and creative as they are easily disturbed, so they are often impressed from the outset by the boldness and self-belief of the Tiger. On the other hand, the Tiger's independence and recklessness often make them feel distant from those around them, so they tend to be drawn immediately to the Sheep's warmth and keen intuition. The more these two get to know one another, the more likely it is that common interests and values will emerge.

These signs share a strong commitment to serving others, the Sheep through their instinctive generosity and love of peace, the Tiger through nobility and sacrifice. And both are motivated by identity-defining idealism. The Sheep usually loves nothing more than to share their gift for exploring and expanding the conceptual horizons of their community, while the Tiger is capable of unbridled commitment to honorable innovation and transformation. These big picture affinities can open a door to abundant pleasure, humor, admiration, and attraction. Indeed, few pairings can match the pure enjoyment these two experience when their shared energy is firing on all cylinders.

The Sheep and Tiger do usually tend to maintain a clear sense of their individual identities, so the potential for closeness may be limited in certain ways. Collaborations often involve separate roles rather than working hand-in-glove. The Tiger's attitudes may sometimes seem dangerous or unrelenting to the more careful Sheep, while the Sheep could at times seem fragile, moody, or inconsistent to the Tiger, whose instincts are usually more direct. Thankfully, this flexible match can usually adapt to whatever form is most conducive to the happiness of both signs.

Irrespective of the context or degree of commitment, this frequently enchanting energy has the potential to provide lasting dependability and fulfillment.

Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak

Steve Wozniak (8/11/1950, Leo Tiger), Steve Jobs (2/24/1955, Pisces Sheep) : The entrepreneur and engineer co-founded Apple Computer, Inc. in 1977. Wozniak has described how, in the early days of their relationship, the pair bonded over their love of electronics and hijinks, "[C]hasing concert paraphernalia, driving around playing pranks, doing the blue boxes [a device to make free phone calls]. We had a lot of fun times." Later, according to Wozniak, they grew distant: "[Jobs] didn’t want to talk about jokes, [or] fun kid things, only business suits on the front of magazines, talking business talk and learning how to speak it...That’s when his personality changed, and he got kind of strict."

Jane Galloway (2/27/1950, Pisces Tiger), David Haig (9/20/1955, Virgo Sheep) : The actor and actor/professional cook married in 2010, after being together for 31 years and having five children. Haig described: "Our two sons still maintain this slightly 1960s idea that it is quite cool to have unmarried parents around, but our three daughters are very into the idea [of a wedding] and so are we, frankly."

Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse

Robert Pattinson (5/13/1986, Taurus Tiger), Suki Waterhouse (1/5/1992, Capricorn Sheep) : The two actors have been together since 2018. In a 2023 interview, Waterhouse described: "I’m shocked that I’m so happy with someone for nearly five years. I’m always incredibly excited when I see his name pop up (on my phone) or even a text, and I think he feels the same about me. We’ve always got so much to say, and I find him hilarious."

Michael Turchin (1/14/1987, Capricorn Tiger), Lance Bass (5/4/1979, Taurus Sheep) : The NSYNC musician and actor/artist have been together since 2011. They married in 2014 and have two children. Interviewed in 2014, Bass described: "Out of all my past relationships, I’ve had no one who could really handle my lifestyle. But Michael understands my crazy life and he fits perfectly into it. He’s the support system that I need." Turchin added: "I started out in my art career a couple of years ago and I think half the success I’ve had is due to the support Lance has given me. He’s just such an incredible person. I couldn’t imagine waking up next to anybody else."

Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster

Jodie Foster (11/19/1962, Scorpio Tiger), Mel Gibson (1/3/1956, Capricorn Sheep) : The two actors met on the set of the movie Maverick (1994), and have been close friends ever since. Foster cast Gibson in the lead role of her film, The Beaver (2011), despite him having ongoing reputational issues. Foster explained: "[Gibson's] so incredibly loving and sensitive, he really is. He is the most loved actor I have ever worked with on a movie. And he's not saintly, and he's got a big mouth, and he'll do gross things your nephew would do. But I knew the minute I met him that I would love him the rest of my life. I know him in a very complex way. He's a real person; he's not a cardboard cutout. I know that he has troubles, and when you love somebody you don't just walk away from them when they are struggling."

Demi Moore (11/11/1962, Scorpio Tiger), Bruce Willis (3/19/1955, Pisces Sheep) : The two actors were married from 1987 until 2000 and had three children together. They have maintained a close friendship since their separation, and their respective families reportedly quarantined together in 2020. During Moore's marriage to Ashton Kutcher (2005-2013), Willis described: "It's generated a lot of interest because everyone can understand resentment and envy in the breakup of a marriage, but they don't understand how I can get along with my ex like that. Demi and I made a choice to put the kids first, and we're really lucky that it turns out we all have fun together."

Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft

Mel Brooks (6/28/1926, Cancer Tiger), Anne Bancroft (9/17/1931, Virgo Sheep) : The two actors were married from 1964 until Bancroft's death in 2005, and had one child. Asked in 2021—at the age of 95—about whether they were truly the opposites they appeared to be, given Bancroft was a serious actor and Brooks a comedian, Brooks described: "There was that whole other side of me that was maybe slightly, you know, well-read, intellectual, emotional and wasn't funny and was serious about life. And there was that whole other side of her, where she - I said, you're like a shortstop in the Yankees. You catch every ball. And you got pepper. You've got such pepper in the infield. And you're so - you're like a Jew mountain comic. And nobody knows that, you know? And they never knew the other side of her. They only - but there was that one side of her that was heavenly. It was sweet. And it was comforting. And it was supportive. And it was, I guess, so lovely, it's indescribable. And I was very, very lucky. And I - if I believed in God, I would thank God every night for giving me Anne Bancroft."

Ben Wallace (9/10/1974, Virgo Tiger), Metta Sandiford-Artest (11/13/1979, Scorpio Sheep) : The two professional basketball players achieved notoriety in 2004, after a confrontation between them expanded into a brawl involving the crowd known as the "Malice at the Palace". However, the two are now on good terms. In 2021, Sandiford-Artest posted a photo of Wallace and him smiling together with the caption: "This duo would beat any duo. Ruled the 2000’s on defense. It’s not debatable." Wallace has described: "I always admired the way Ron Artest played the game and the energy he played with on the defensive end. There was no real beef between us, it was just something that happened."

The Quincunx may have its doubters, but the strange match of firstwest and secondwest often draws both signs into a pleasurable, inspiring, and dependable connection. Here, the relationship is further enhanced by the simpatico energy between the firsteast and secondeast, which may tend more towards mutual admiration than star-crossed lovers, but often provides a trustworthy bedrock for yearslong nourishment and pleasure.
