Chinese Zodiac Compatibility
Monkey and Sheep

William Shatner (3/22/1931, Aries Sheep), Nichelle Nichols (12/28/1932, Capricorn Monkey)  : The two actors collaborated for many years, playing Captain Kirk and Nyota Uhura in the original Stark Trek TV show and films. They famously shared one of the first interracial kisses on US network television. Nichols' autobiography, Beyond Uhura (1994), describes Shatner as "incredibly charming", but also "bossing around and intimidating." In a noteworthy passage, she wrote: "While working on Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, I discovered something about Bill Shatner. He was a wonderful director to work for. Supportive, encouraging, inspiring—Bill turned out to be among the finest, most respectful directors I’ve ever worked with...I realized that what drove all of us crazy about him when he was acting was that he was directing. For whatever reason, Bill needs to control the action and be the center of attention...His authority in the director’s chair secure and unquestioned, Bill joined the team, however briefly."

Christopher Walken (3/31/1943, Aries Sheep), Georgianne Walken (2/8/1944, Aquarius Monkey)  : The actor and casting director have been married since 1969. Georgianne Walken has described: "It’s very interesting being married to a man who is constantly playing a different person...You’re always living with a different person. He never tells me what part he’s playing when he’s getting ready. It just descends on me one day. [It’s] very interesting."

Nicole Kidman (6/20/1967, Gemini Sheep), Naomi Watts (9/28/1968, Libra Monkey)  : The two actors, who both spent time growing up in Australia, formed a strong bond when they starred together in the film, Flirting (1991). Presenting Kidman the Crystal Award for Excellence in Film in 2015, Watts said, "Back in the day, you fueled me with hope and encouragement. You kept saying, ‘Nai, one thing, one thing. That’s all it takes. It will change everything.’ And it’s only later that I realized the true power of that statement...[Kidman] took me under her wing and she made me her sister. Her smaller sister. Nicole epitomizes for me the word sisterhood. She’s absolutely a woman’s woman. She’s highly spirited, has an infectious laugh, and always up for a good time. And when I say a good time, I mean a good time...The sisterhood needs many more friends like you, and the world needs many more people like you."

Keith Richards (12/18/1943, Sagittarius Sheep), Patti Hansen (3/17/1956, Pisces Monkey)  : The legendary guitarist/founding member of The Rolling Stones and model/actress have been married since 1983. Richards has said, "When Patti and I met it was just . . . boom. There was life before Patti and life after. We just clicked, and she rescued me from, shall we say, dark periods . . . without going into too much detail."

George Harrison (2/25/1943, Pisces Sheep), Ravi Shankar (4/7/1920, Aries Monkey)  : The two musicians famously collaborated from the late 1960s, after the sitar virtuoso Shankar agreed to give lessons on the instrument to Harrison. In 1997, Harrison edited and wrote the foreword for Shankar's memoir, Raga Mala (1997). Shankar described in the book: "I felt strongly that there was a beautiful soul in [Harrison], and recognised one quality which I always have valued enormously and which is considered the principal one in our culture—humility. Considering that he was so famous—part of the most popular group in the world ever!—he was nevertheless quite humble, with a childlike quality that he has retained to this day." Harrison wrote: "The moment we started, the feelings I got were of [Shankar's] patience, compassion and humility. The fact that he could do one of his five-hour concerts, but at the same time he could sit down and teach somebody from scratch...And he enjoyed it, he wasn’t grudging at all, and he wasn’t flash about it either."

Heath Ledger (4/4/1979, Aries Sheep), Michelle Williams (9/9/1980, Virgo Monkey)  : The two actors co-starred in Brokeback Mountain and were married for three years. Williams has described how she spent the 10 years after Ledger's tragic death in 2008 seeking the "radical acceptance" he provided for her. She explained, "I always say to [their daughter] Matilda, 'Your dad loved me before anybody thought I was talented, or pretty, or had nice clothes.'"

Bob Woodward (3/26/1943, Aries Sheep), Carl Bernstein (2/14/1944, Aquarius Monkey)  : The two investigative journalists became household names after their book, All the President's Men (1974), and the subsequent film with the same name (1976), became synonymous with the exposure of Watergate and the fall of the Nixon US presidency. Bernstein described in 2003: "There are special things only the two of us understand, from the work we did together to the way each of us looks at journalism. There are things we say to each other that we’d never say to anyone else. It was true during the reporting of Watergate, and it’s true now. No, we would not have been friends otherwise. We were not inclined to like each other before, and within weeks we came to develop this incredible respect for each other. Now, it’s a great friendship."
