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.

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."

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?"
