Aquarius Snake and Aquarius Rooster

Oprah Winfrey (1/29/1954, Aquarius Snake), Alice Walker (2/9/1944, Aquarius Monkey) : The author and iconic media personality share a close and supportive bond, arising out of Walker's book, The Color Purple (1982). Winfrey has described: "When I read the first line...I remember sitting home and I think it took my breath away literally. You know, people use that phrase. But, I could not breathe. So, after reading the first passage, the first letter...I remember closing the book and weeping, because my God, this is my story. This is my story. Somebody knows how I felt." Winfrey went on to win an Oscar nomination for her performance in the Steven Spielberg's movie, The Color Purple (1985). When Winfrey produced a Broadway production of the novel, Walker said: "[Winfrey's involvement is a] blessing. Oprah and I come from a part of the country where we understand certain realities. She's not just telling you about something as if she's an observer. She has lived a life that is as deep and as painful and as joyful and as depthful as any of the characters. And that's why she I think really captures the imagination of people."

David Lynch (1/20/1946, Aquarius Rooster), Laura Dern (2/10/1967, Aquarius Sheep) : The actor and director have worked together frequently during a relationship that has lasted over 30 years, including on the films Blue Velvet (1986) and Wild at Heart (1990), and the TV show Twin Peaks (1990-1991, 2017). After Dern awarded Lynch an honorary Oscar in 2019, she described: "[Our relationship] just gets better and better. He’s incredible! He’s everything you want him to be...[He] was holding [the Oscar] and I said, 'How do you feel?' and he goes, 'Wow, this is so pretty. But you know, we’re just lucky...I mean, Tidbit [Tidbit is a nickname that Lynch uses for Dern], they’re not our ideas. We’re just lucky if we catch them.' And I’m just like, 'Yeah, well, that’s David Lynch.' They’re not our ideas. Things move through us. We didn’t make them up. I just think that’s really beautiful."

Diane Lane (1/22/1965, Aquarius Dragon), Josh Brolin (2/12/1968, Aquarius Monkey) : The two actors were married between 2004 and 2013. They made headlines after the police were called to their home in 2004. Brolin has described their relationship as a "Richard Burton/Elizabeth Taylor existence", referring to the famously combustible celebrity couple. He said in 2018: "I loved Diane...It just wasn’t attainable, and in that hero mentality, you get exhausted, and then when you get exhausted, you get resentful, and then all that stuff comes out. So I feel bad that I didn’t have the presence of mind or the maturity or whatever to understand that early on."

Gemma Arterton (2/2/1986, Aquarius Ox), Hannah Arterton (1/26/1989, Aquarius Dragon) : The two English actors are sisters who share a supportive relationship. After a working-class upbringing in a council estate, they both graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), and have starred in multiple films and TV shows. Hannah Arterton has described: "[We used to do] routines to The Backstreet Boys and [make] our mum watch. It was unexpected that we decided to go into this weird acting thing. I think my parents thought, 'Oh, well it keeps them quiet...' ...I never thought I could really ever do it. But Gem's success... Someone from our background and our world achieving global success was just so inspiring for everyone. She had the talent, but more than that, she had the ambition. She didn't dream small."

Ellen DeGeneres (1/26/1958, Aquarius Rooster), Portia de Rossi (1/31/1973, Aquarius Rat) : These two successful entertainment figures and longtime partners married in 2008. "Portia understands me completely," DeGeneres said in 2017. "In our vows, she recited a quote — 'It is good to be loved. It is profound to be understood' — and to me, that’s everything."

Benjamin Millepied (6/10/1977, Gemini Snake), Natalie Portman (6/9/1981, Gemini Rooster) : The actor and dancer met on the set of the film, Black Swan (2010), for which Portman received an Academy Award. They have been married since 2012 and have two children together. Portman has described: "I met my husband on [the set of Black Swan], so I think I was in, like, dreamland … We had a whole, like, he was teaching me to dance. You know, one of those romantic [stories] … It was definitely exciting and fun. It was beautiful. I don't know about instant. It was like I really got to know him and that was when it seemed like, 'Oh this is the person.'"

Elizabeth Hurley (6/10/1965, Gemini Snake), Shane Warne (9/13/1969, Virgo Rooster) : The actor and cricketer were together in the early 2010s and announced a short-lived engagement in 2011. Warne described later: "I was more in love with Elizabeth than I’d realised I could be. I miss the love we had. My years with Elizabeth were the happiest of my life. I wanted to be better with her."

Bob Dylan (5/24/1941, Gemini Snake), Jakob Dylan (12/9/1969, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two musicians are father and son. Wanting to protect the privacy of his legendary father, who in 2016 was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for his songwriting, Jakob Dylan said little about their relationship until 2005. Then, Jakob described: "When I was a kid, he was a god to me for all the right reasons. Other people have put that tag on him in some otherworldly sense. I say it as any kid who admired his dad and had a great relationship with him. He never missed a single Little League game I had. He's collected every home-run ball I ever hit. And he's still affectionate to me. Maybe he doesn't want people to know that. But I'll tell you, because it's my interview."

Kevin James (4/26/1965, Taurus Snake), Ray Romano (12/21/1957, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two comedian/actors lived together before they each achieved success, and later continued to guest-star on each other's long-running TV shows, Everybody Loves Raymond (1996-2005), and The King of Queens (1998-2007). In a joint interview, Romano said: "We bonded over getting turned down for every audition we went on." James added: "We tried to play a lot of golf, because we didn't have a lot of work."

Kanye West (6/8/1977, Gemini Snake), Jay-Z (12/4/1969, Sagittarius Rooster) : The two rappers are longtime friends who have collaborated on multiple occasions, including the tracks "Otis", "Never Let Me Down", "Izzo (H.O.V.A)", "Diamonds From Sierra Leone (Remix)", "Run This Town", "’03 Bonnie & Clyde", "Clique", "Heart of the City (Ain't No Love)", and "Encore". Although the two have faced challenges in their relationship, Jay-Z described: "That’s my brother, we’re beyond friends. Really, like literally, my little brother is Kanye. And like your little brother, things happen sometimes...It’s like that. That’s still your sibling forever. I’ve watched Kanye from without an album. The thing that I respect about him is that he’s the same person. Like, he interrupted our studio session, stood on a table and started rapping. And we were like, ‘Could you please get down,’ and he was like ‘No, I’m the savior of Chicago!’ He didn’t have a record."

Dr. Dre (2/18/1965, Aquarius Snake), Ice Cube (6/15/1969, Gemini Rooster) : The two founding members of the rap group, NWA, formed a close collaboration and friendship in the 1980s. After a period of disputation after NWA broke up, in 2016 they appeared together on stage for the first time in 27 years. Cube described: "We just went forward. We're gonna always be like that. I don't care if we don't talk to each other for 10 years, when we see each other, it's gonna be like yesterday."

Oprah Winfrey (1/29/1954, Aquarius Snake), Ellen DeGeneres (1/26/1958, Aquarius Rooster) : The two talk show hosts are close friends, who are also neighbours in Montecito, California. In a 2021 interview, Winfrey told Degeneres: "[Y]ou have shared yourself, the expression of your talent, in a way that has made people feel so much better about themselves all these years, that is what you’ve done, Ellen. It’s so much more than the show...Every single person in your audience who has been touched by you, by your laughter, by your jokes, by your kindness, by your sharing, by your being, that’s your legacy." Degeneres replied: "I love you so much, Oprah. I am, as I say all the time, I am so honored to call you a friend. You are the wisest person I know and I just adore you."
