Compatibility
Aries Rat and Taurus Sheep

David E. Kelley (4/4/1956, Aries Monkey), Michelle Pfeiffer (4/29/1958, Taurus Dog) : The actor and writer/producer have been married since 1993 and have two children. At the time they met, Pfeiffer was already part way through adopting her daughter, who arrived after the couple had been dating for two months. Pfeiffer described in 2007: "I really got to see [Kelley] in a situation that certainly would separate the boys from the men. Obviously, he really rose to the occasion. We both got to see each other as parents before we progressed in our relationship together, and in a strange way, it took the pressure off us...I mean, it's a real testament to the kind of person he is, but also to the fact that sometimes the traditional way of doing things isn't always the best way."

Colin Powell (4/5/1937, Aries Ox), Linda Powell (4/30/1965, Taurus Snake) : The 65th US Secretary of State and his daughter, an actor, shared a close relationship. Colin Powell's memoir, My American Journey (2003) included this description by Linda: "My father is a gentle man, but, as a child, I remember being a little afraid of him—he was so big. He rarely raised his voice, but when he did, my heart would drop through my stomach. But I also remember once weaving a pink-and-white net around my bicycle as decoration...The net got caught in the spokes and I went flying over the handlebars. I sat stunned and crying on the asphalt. My father appeared from nowhere, scooped me up, held me close, and carried me home."

Russell Crowe (4/7/1964, Aries Dragon), Danielle Spencer (5/16/1969, Taurus Rooster) : The two actors met in 1989, and during a famously on-again, off-again relationship, married in 2003 and divorced in 2018. Spencer described in 2020: "We have a lot of respect for each other and I consider him to be a member of my family. The marriage ended, but that didn’t mean our friendship ended. We’ve had holidays together in the past and we can happily sit down and chat."

Francis Ford Coppola (4/7/1939, Aries Rabbit), Eleanor Coppola (5/4/1936, Taurus Rat) : The two filmmakers have been married since 1963 and have three children together. Eleanor Coppola has described how they approach collaboration: "Francis is very straightforward with me about what he does and doesn’t think works, and for me I have to make a choice: maybe this doesn’t work for him, but it’s what I want to say. So I think we have to […] take that attitude, we accept the sort of information coming in, the critique, and then we kind of go our own way within that. Sometimes I see something that I suggest, and he rejects [it] at the moment, and then I see it woven in later."

David Letterman (4/12/1947, Aries Pig), Jay Leno (4/28/1950, Taurus Tiger) : The two late-night talk show hosts were one-time friends who shared perhaps the most famous rivalry in television history. In 2017, Leno described: "The idea that there was a huge rift between me and Dave — yeah, of course there was. I think Dave felt really sad he didn’t get The Tonight Show. And our shows were very competitive. Whether it’s two sports teams, or two boxers, you can trash talk each other, but it doesn’t mean you don’t respect each other. I think there was a mutual admiration. It’s not that we have a lot in common — we don’t — but I think that we have a mutual admiration for each other’s ability to make each other laugh....Dave would always go about it in a funny way. There was no animosity there. Comics have a bond: You have more in common with your worst enemy if they’re a comic than you do with your best friend, because you share something that regular people just don’t get."

Liam Gallagher (9/21/1972, Virgo Rat), Noel Gallagher (5/29/1967, Gemini Sheep) : The brothers and founding members of the band Oasis share one of the most iconic feuds in rock music. In 1995, a fourteen-minute recording of them arguing and swearing at each other during an interview the previous year, entitled "Wibbling Rivalry", became the highest-charting interview release ever in the UK. In 2009, Noel famously said: "[Liam's] the angriest man you'll ever meet. He's like a man with a fork in a world of soup."

Carmen Electra (4/20/1972, Taurus Rat), Dave Navarro (6/7/1967, Gemini Sheep) : The actor/model and musician were married from 2003 to 2007. The lead-up to their wedding was televised in the reality show, 'Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen and Dave (2004). They have remained friendly since their break-up—in 2019, Electra posted to Instagram: "Happy Birthday @davenavarro my eternal love for u is beyond words . We had this strange understanding for each other that resulted in lots of laughter , fun & and understanding ! Ty 4 letting me be my true self and not judging my flaws . I mean .... the time out system really worked 😂🙌🏼 so grateful we are still friends ! I love u DN #happybirthday #tildeathdouspart."

Ayrton Senna (3/21/1960, Aries Rat), Alain Prost (2/24/1955, Pisces Sheep) : The intense rivalry between these two Formula 1 drivers is one of the most famous in sports history. In 1990, after Senna deliberately drove his McLaren into Prost's Ferrari to win the World Drivers' Championship, Prost said: "What he did was disgusting. He is a man without value."

Hugh Grant (9/9/1960), Virgo Rat), Julia Roberts (10/28/1967, Scorpio Sheep) : The two actors co-starred in the successful romantic comedy, Notting Hill (1999). Later, Grant famously made a less than complimentary joke, saying that, "[Roberts] had such a large mouth...I was aware of a faint echo as I was kissing her."

Spencer Tracy (4/5/1900, Aries Rat), Katharine Hepburn (5/12/1907, Taurus Sheep) : The two Hollywood icons famously had an affair that lasted 27 years, as Tracy was a Catholic who refused to consider divorcing his wife. According to reports, Tracy was known for his alcoholism and infidelity during the relationship. Hepburn once said: "What would be the point [of leaving Tracy]? I mean, I loved him. And I wanted to be with him. If I had left, we would both have been miserable." She wrote about his death: "[Tracy] looked so happy to be done with living, which for all his accomplishments had been a frightful burden for him."

Marlon Brando (4/3/1924, Aries Rat), John Wayne (5/26/1907, Gemini Sheep) : The two actors shared a famous conflict after Brando refused his Oscar for Best Actor for The Godfather (1973). Brando asked a Native American woman, Sacheen Littlefeather, to refuse the award on his behalf, to protest the treatment of Native Americans in films and on TV. Littlefeather later recalled that six security guards had to restrain Wayne from rushing the stage while she spoke. Wayne said in an interview: "I think it was sad that Brando did what he did. If he had something to say, he should have appeared that night and stated his views instead of taking some little unknown girl and dressing her up in an Indian outfit."
