Leo and Capricorn: the astrological aspect
Quincunx (five signs apart). Signs five apart share nothing in element, modality or polarity, which makes the quincunx the most awkward aspect to describe. Each partner must keep adjusting to the other. Couples who thrive here usually do so through humor, flexibility and a willingness to learn a very different way of living.
A Cardinal sign starts things and a Fixed sign sustains them, a useful division of labor. Friction appears if the Cardinal partner feels held back or the Fixed partner feels pushed.
Scores on this page start from the elements of the two signs and are adjusted by their aspect. They are a playful reflection tool, not a prediction.
