People magazine recently reported that Oscar-nominated actress Elisabeth Shue (10/06/1963, Libra Rabbit) described her brother Andrew (02/20/1967, Pisces Sheep) as “doing great”: “He is very, very happy.” Of course, the Shue siblings share a beautiful energy match, combining the usually delightful mystery of the Quincunx Libra/Pisces pairing on the Western side with the revered Chinese Trine match between Rabbit and Sheep, so mutual supportiveness is strongly favored. But what exactly is going on to make Elisabeth’s opinion about how Andrew is doing newsworthy in 2024? 

Rewind to November 2022. The Daily Mail sensationally revealed that the two hosts of Good Morning America, Amy Robach (02/06/1973, Aquarius Ox) and T. J. Holmes (08/19/1977, Leo Snake)—whose on-screen chemistry had wowed audiences since they teamed up in 2020—were involved in an off-screen romance. Controversy swirled around the pair in the months that followed. Both were married to other people at the time their relationship became public: Robach to Melrose Place (1992–1999) alum Andrew Shue, and Holmes to attorney Marilee Fiebig (who multiple sources report was born 10/27/1977, Scorpio Snake). 

After an investigation by GMA’s host network, ABC, Robach and Holmes left ABC in January 2023, with a company spokesperson telling People, “we all agreed it’s best for everyone that they move on from ABC News.” Later that year, on the first episode of their podcast, Amy & T.J., Holmes provided some carefully-worded context for the earlier headlines:

Nov. 30, 2022, was the day that we were, and this is very important, we were outed. To be clear, we were outed as being in a relationship, but everyone else thought we were being outed as adulterers — being outed as cheating on our spouses — and it wasn’t the case because the odd thing is, the day those pictures were taken and the day that article was released, we both at that point were in divorce proceedings.

The energy matches among the protagonists in the story so far provide what may be invaluable context. For one thing, the chemistry that audiences thought they were witnessing between Robach and Holmes, and which at some point blossomed into real-life romance, seems to have been anything but an act. Robach and Holmes share a simply spectacular energy matrix, the infinitely challenging-yet-dependable potential of Aquarius and Leo on the Western side, and the instinctive teamwork of the Trine signs Ox and Snake on the Chinese side. Combined, this is one of the special Golden Nine matches that underpin some of the most famous and impactful relationships in history. 

What’s more, the previous marriages of both Robach and Holmes each seem to have been affected by potentially serious tensions. For Robach, her marriage to Andrew Shue may have benefited from the slow-burn Aquarius/Pisces combination on the Western side, but the risk of conflict between their respective Chinese signs of Ox and Sheep is legendary. The blunt determination of the Ox can be overwhelming for the far more delicate Sheep in any circumstances, but Shue’s combined sign of Pisces Sheep brings forth some of the most sensitive and changeable energy in all of astrology, making them especially vulnerable. 

Meanwhile—assuming Fiebig’s reported birthdate is correct—the marriage between Holmes and Fiebig also incorporated serious potential for conflict. On the Chinese side, the sensual and philosophical Snake is often drawn to other natives of the same sign. Superstar Taylor Swift (12/13/1989, Sagittarius Snake), for example, has been romantically involved with a procession of partners who share her own Chinese sign. But the Western connection between Holmes and Fiebig was far more problematic, as the productive yet adversarial Square energy between Leo and Scorpio can be one of the most difficult matches to keep in check. Couple this with their shared Snake sign’s weakness for jealousy and hurt feelings, and the implications for a relationship gone wrong must have been troubling indeed. 

The sting in the tail? People reports that Robach’s ex-husband Shue and Holmes’ ex-wife Fiebig have begun a relationship of their own, and have been together for over a year. On the Chinese side, the energy here can certainly be conducive to romance, with the sexy Snake often delighting in the charming attentions of the tender Sheep, and both signs having an essential attraction for abstract realms. But it is on the Western side that this relationship really shines, with the Water signs Pisces and Scorpio sharing one of the most profound, emotionally complex and satisfying connections under the sun. 

It seems likely from an astrological perspective that Elisabeth Shue would support her brother whatever the truth is. But perhaps he really has emerged doing as “great” and feeling as “very very happy” as she says, in the wake of this extraordinary but remarkably compatible—at least through the lens of the zodiacs—partner swap.
