Like the elements in Western astrology, the four Trine Families that are central to Eastern astrology divide naturally into two compatible pairs. One such pair comprises the family of the Horse (with the Dog and Tiger) and the family of the Rabbit (with the Pig and Sheep). The Horse and Rabbit may not be the most attention-grabbing match between these two families, but they still profit from the auspicious surrounding energy.

It's not always obvious, given their swashbuckling, go-it-alone character, but the Horse is an idealist at heart. The sensitivity and artistry of the Rabbit thus appeal greatly to the Horse's core values. The Rabbit's gentle nature can also put the Horse at ease, helping them to relax and open up in a way they seldom allow themselves with other signs. The Rabbit, meanwhile, can be easily rattled or disturbed on their own. The Horse's independent spirit fortifies the Rabbit, making them less vulnerable to criticism or drama. This frees the Rabbit to pursue their talents with an unperturbed mind, at peace with the world.

These two will need to keep an eye out for distance between them occasionally. Mutual admiration need not always translate into the strongest alliance. Both parties should make sure the other knows just how much they are valued or loved. The Horse and Rabbit also need to maintain the protection the relationship provides. The Horse is by nature more forceful and independent-minded, and can be selfish or blunt. If outside influences, insensitivity, or neglect are allowed to threaten the cocoon-like quality of this relationship, problems may ricochet around without resolution, especially for the more delicate Rabbit.

Fortunately, the underlying positive energy here means that strategies to avoid potential challenges are likely to work well. This is a relationship that may function best with each party having their own sphere to work in, then joining together to enjoy the special connection they share. Ultimately, these two are likely to recognize and trust in the goodness in the other's heart, which can be a cornerstone of a lasting, nourishing, and inspiring bond.

Mackenzie Davis (4/1/1987, Aries Rabbit), Kristen Stewart (4/9/1990, Aries Horse) : The two actors starred together in the film Happiest Season, said to be "the first mainstream festive romcom about a same-sex couple". Stewart described how the obvious on-screen chemistry never felt forced: "[Davis] is such a real person. I wanted this couple, and the way that we represented these individuals, to feel really casual, sort of self-assured. And Mackenzie is fun and infectious, and she has a confidence that I find contagious. It was really important for me to show a queer couple feeling cool and comfortable and in their own skin. I can’t watch this movie and be like, it’s kind of [expletive]. Anyway, luckily, Mackenzie exists, and there you go."

Carmichael has described: "[Burnham]’s the friend of my dreams, in a way. I’m really happy that we found each other. I trust him with my life, in all ways. And so a lot of the moments you see in Rothaniel, the reason I was able to go there is because he's directing. It's like my best friend's directing, and I can give everything. I don't have to hide anything, that I can take down any wall. He's the best friend you could ask for. He really protected me."
