Signs separated by three steps around the Western zodiac wheel form a Square, or hard 90° degree, interval. The energy here is perpendicular and powerful. Hence these two tend to disagree often and hard!

Even minor questions can provoke passionate debate. Leo's element, Fire, is the most dynamic, spirited, and at times tumultuous of all the elements. Taurus' Earth, on the other hand, is defined by its slow-moving, rock-solid dependability. Leo will thus often feel quite claustrophobic, as if Taurus is not letting them burst forth as they were born to do. Taurus, meanwhile, can feel rushed or overborne by Leo's fervent extremes of enthusiasm, generosity, or criticism. The result can be a vicious circle which exacerbates both signs' more challenging traits. Taurus may retreat into stubborn recalcitrance, while Leo loses themselves in arrogance or fury. Because these two signs share the same Fixed modality, focused on tangible results and getting things done, it goes against both of their natures to back down. Compromise could take eons to reach.

On the plus side, the tensions here are by no means always serious. In fact, the energy between Leo and Taurus can give rise to all kinds of playful competition, flirtatiousness, or hilarity. More importantly, certainly in the longer term, this relationship may have profound benefits for both signs' individual identities. Square energy is unparalleled in its ability to reveal what is essential to one's true nature. By exposing what is most important—what can be compromised, and what cannot—the combination of Leo and Taurus yields rewards that may last a lifetime. Some distance or compartmentalization in the relationship may be useful at times, to reduce the toll this powerful energy can take day to day.

If these two are able to harness their contrasting instincts one way or another, then they may achieve incredible outcomes, both separately and together.

Matt Damon (10/8/1970, Libra Dog), Luciana Barroso (7/31/1976, Leo Dragon) : The actor and bartender married in 2005. They have four children together (one from Barroso's previous relationship). In 2018, Barroso described how they met: "Matt’s story is that he saw me across the room and there was a light on me. And I’m like, 'Yeah, it was a nightclub—there were lights everywhere! But he had started getting recognized...so he came and hid behind my bar… [wanting to] just hang out back there and have a drink...So I put him to work with me! I said, 'You know, if you’re going to be back here, you can’t just be standing there!'"

Bridget Moynahan (4/28/1971, Taurus Pig), Tom Brady (8/3/1977, Leo Snake) : The actor/model and NFL legend were together for three years from 2004 to 2006. In February 2007, Moynahan announced that she was three months' pregnant and Brady was the father. Moynahan has spoken about the challenges of that period, saying, "Going through that traumatic time of being heartbroken and then being pregnant turned my whole life upside down and inside out and just knocked the wind out of me." Later, she described: "Tom and I made a decision to raise a child together and we both found partners that not only supported us in raising that child, but also loved our child as if he was their own...My son is surrounded by love and grandparents that go on forever, and it's all good."

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott

Travis Scott (4/30/1991, Taurus Sheep), Kylie Jenner (8/10/1997, Leo Ox) : The rapper and media personality are one of the most high-profile on-again, off-again couples in the world, most recently announcing a separation in January 2023. They share two children and have both expressed confidence in their ability to co-parent through their relationship ups and downs. In 2020 (after the birth of their first child, Stormi), Jenner described: "We’re, like, best friends. We both love [our daughter] Stormi and want what’s best for her. We stay connected and coordinated. I think about [my parents, Kris Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner], in situations with Stormi, what they would do. They were very hands-on with me, and I want the same for Stormi."

Gina Torres (4/25/1969, Taurus Rooster), Laurence Fishburne (7/30/1961, Leo Ox) : The two actors were married from 2002 to 2018 and had a daughter together. Torres described: "There are no bad guys here. Only a love story with a different ending than either one of us had expected. Happily, however, our family remains intact and we will continue to raise our daughter together with love and joy and awe, as well as raise each other up with respect and love and the continued understanding that we're in this together, if not side by side."

Isiah Thomas and Magic Johnson

Isiah Thomas (4/30/1961, Taurus Ox), Magic Johnson (8/14/1959, Leo Pig) : The relationship between the two basketball legends was reportedly strained even before an on-court fight during the 1988 NBA Finals. In Johnson's 2009 book, When the Game was Ours, he admitted working behind the scenes to keep Thomas out of the 1992 United States Olympics "Dream Team", because he believed Thomas had been spreading rumours about his sexuality after his HIV diagnosis. The two reconciled in 2017, with Johnson saying, "You are my brother. Let me apologize if I hurt you, that we haven’t been together and God is good to bring us back together."

Pig and Pig

Compatibility overview

A genuine treasure trove if ever there was one, two souls born in the year of the Pig typically share an incredible generosity of spirit. These two know how to have a good time! As with any own-sign combination, they will need to manage a lack of balance. Competitiveness, over-indulgence, and occasionally spectacular naivety would not be unexpected. Nevertheless, these two kindred spirits typically share a multitude of gifts and good fortune, making for a generally delightful relationship.

Underlying the Chinese zodiac is the basic concept of the four Trine Families, like the elements in Western astrology. The Pig belongs to the same peace-loving, generous, and idealistic family as the Rabbit and Sheep. Hence two Pig souls will often find they get along easily from the get-go, as they share a bedrock of common values, and have a naturally gregarious character that makes socializing a joy.

Even given their reputation for generosity, most Pig natives can still surprise and delight their friends with their selflessness and amiable, magnanimous personalities. Two Pigs together can find they effortlessly create an atmosphere rich with merriment and conviviality. In quick time, they could literally be falling over each other to share such wealth as they possess, both material and immaterial. It is rare indeed for a Pig to find themselves more receiving than giving, so part of the excitement for these two when they get together is likely to involve trying to outdo each other's compliments and self-sacrifice. Nor is the public-spiritedness of the Pig confined to intimate or local settings. The Pig is often tirelessly devoted to social causes and remedying injustice. Two Pigs will typically bond over a common desire to improve the lives of everyone around them, and to advocate fiercely for the underprivileged or disenfranchised.

To be sure, own-sign matches are always faced with an overabundance of some energy, and a lack of corrective balance. The benevolent Pig usually cannot help but be the life of the party, so two Pigs may sometimes find it hard to accommodate each other's largesse without feeling cramped or eclipsed. Self-discipline is rarely the Pig's strongest suit, so a pair of this sign will need to be careful to avoid potentially stunning indulgence, lest they over-extend themselves physically, financially, or otherwise. The Pig's trusting nature can be a powerful asset, but it can leave them vulnerable to exploitation. Two souls born under this sign will need to be doubly careful to avoid being taken advantage of by others, or perhaps on occasion by each other.

Ultimately, some Pig duos may find that a healthy dose of independence relieves the pressure of an intensely close connection. That said, many people born under this sign are blessed by an abundance of good fortune. Hence two members of this sign may find they are able to leverage the significant affinities between them into a lasting and extremely lucky connection.

Michael McKean and Christopher Guest

Christopher Guest (2/5/1948, Aquarius Pig), Michael McKean (10/17/1947, Libra Pig) : Director/actor/musician/comedian/screenwriter Guest and actor/musician/comedian/screenwriter McKean are friends who have been working together since the 1960s. Their collaborations include the films, This is Spinal Tap (1984), Best in Show (2000), and A Mighty Wind (2003), and the TV series, Family Tree (2013). McKean described in 2013, "Chris and I have known each other since 1967, and we’ve done a lot of stuff together. We started writing songs together immediately. We have a handful of songs that nobody has ever heard and probably will never hear. But we just kind of hit it off right away...Chris Guest is a conductor. He’s a conductor of kind of a jazz orchestra. He wants you to go wherever you want to go, but he also knows how to keep time, and he knows when you need more of something or less of something. And that’s how he does it."

Dolly Wells (12/5/1971, Sagittarius Pig), Emily Mortimer (12/1/1971, Sagittarius Pig) : The two actor/writers are lifelong friends, who co-wrote and co-starred in the British TV series, Doll & Em (2014-2015). They subsequently collaborated on the film, Good Posture (2019, written and directed by Wells). Mortimer described in 2015: "Part of the reason that we have a good rapport as writing partners – and as friends – is that we talk about everything. There’s no stone that goes unturned. Even when we got irritated with each other we talk about it immediately and analyse it compulsively and so any problem that arises gets talked out quite quickly, and it goes away."

Shante Broadus* and Snoop Dogg

Snoop Dogg (10/20/1971, Libra Pig), Shante Broadus (10/30/1971, Scorpio Pig) : The legendary rapper Snoop Dogg and businesswoman Broadus were a couple in high school, and married in 1997. They have four children. After a separation during the 2000s, they renewed their vows in 2008. After appointing Broadus as his official manager in 2021, Snoop described, "Shante has been guiding my career behind the scenes from day one. She has always been my final gut check with all my decisions, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without her. I am grateful to have her as my official manager, helping to build the Snoop Dogg empire together." He previously said in 2013, "[Broadus is] always right. Because you gotta understand the turmoil and stuff that I put her through, in my journey on becoming successful, because I had no understanding of how I was doing her, how I was hurting her, and how I was betraying myself, until I became a man and realized that I had to love this woman who loved me and had my kids, and put my life in perspective and let my music and my business be secondary."

Nicholas L. Ashe (5/1/1995, Taurus Pig), Justice Smith (8/9/1995, Leo Pig) : The two actors announced in 2020 that they were queer, and in a relationship. In a 2022 advertising campaign, Ashe told Smith, "I remember when my mom passed, I asked you to not be further than like, two inches from me for a while. And you just really like honored that."

Emma Thompson and Hugh Laurie

Emma Thompson (4/15/1959, Aries Pig), Hugh Laurie (6/11/1959, Gemini Pig) : The two actors dated at university in the 1970s and have remained good friends. In 2000, Thompson described whimsically, "[Laurie] is very loveable. He is one of those rare people who manages to be lugubriously sexy, like a well-hung eel." In a speech celebrating Thompson's induction to the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2010, Laurie said, "[Thompson has always] oozed talent. She said talented things, she wore talented clothes, she rode a talented bicycle, she made talented spaghetti. She is a truly remarkable person, a very good friend, and I could not be prouder."

Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson

Chris Hemsworth (8/11/1983, Leo Pig), Tessa Thompson (10/3/1983, Libra Pig) : The two actors have formed a strong and popular friendship, after working together on blockbuster films including, Thor: Ragnarok (2017), Avengers: Endgame (2019), Men in Black: International (2019), and Thor: Love and Thunder (2022). Thompson described in 2019, "[M]y whole trajectory since I’ve started [on blockbusters] has been with Chris. I feel really lucky because he’s so good at it and so giving and has taught me so much about the stamina it takes to make these kinds of movies, the imagination, the sense of humor, and how important it is to keep morale up on set, which he does so well. In the history of Hollywood movies there’s been so many duos that get to work on tons of films together in this line of Hepburn and Tracy. So I loved that idea of taking two people and putting them in different kinds of circumstances." Hemsworth said, "Having this great friendship that continues to grow through each of these experiences has been a huge advantage...[W]e were lucky enough from day one on ‘Ragnarok’ to notice that we’re like-minded and have similar approaches to our work. It’s definitely one of my favorite working relationships."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The Square combination of firstwest and secondwest attracts powerful and explosive energy, with heated disagreements just about unavoidable. Yet this energy also has rare potential as a teacher, illuminating which qualities and directions in life are essential, and which can be forsaken. The positives of this Square connection are especially likely to surface here, given the sympathetic shared connection of the firsteast and secondeast. This own-sign combination may prove somewhat exhausting from time to time, owing to the lack of balance, but these two will likely share their most core values and attitudes—an ideal way to ensure the wildness of the Square can be kept under control, more or less.
