Compatibility
Cancer Horse and Gemini Horse

Tommy Chong (5/24/1938, Gemini Tiger), Cheech Marin (7/13/1946, Cancer Dog) : As the duo, "Cheech & Chong", these two comedian/actors enjoyed great success in the 1970s and 1980s, making seven films together and recording eight comedy albums. Cheech has said that their chemistry arose because they were "exactly opposites of each other", and that, "'We were never best friends. We were more like brothers." They had a falling out in the 1980s, reportedly related to creative control and restlessness, but they reconciled in 2008, and have since continued to play shows together. Cheech described: "When we first got back together, there was still a lot of animosity, and it persisted for a while. But eventually it kind of waned. I think when health issues come into play, you do another assessment. [Chong] was sick for a while. He's fine now. But it took awhile to get there."

Kate Magowan (6/1/1975, Gemini Rabbit), John Simm (7/10/1970, Cancer Dog) : The musician/actor and actor have been married since 2004 and have two children. Though they have rarely discussed their relationship publicly, Simms was asked once jokingly if there were any similarities with Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. He replied: "Only in the fact that he worships her, and she is the glue that holds everything together."

Kate Flannery (6/10/1964, Gemini Dragon), Jane Lynch (7/14/1960, Cancer Rat) : Since 2013, the two actors have toured the US performing musical theater together, in the productions, See Jane Sing, A Swingin’ Little Christmas!, and Two Lost Souls. Lynch has described: "We didn’t bond immediately, but we were in the same group of friends so I knew who [Flannery] was, and she was fun, and we’d be at parties together and do shows together. We weren’t fast friends. But we became closer over the years, and then in 2013 we started doing See Jane Sing together, and we’ve become inseparable."

Gene Wilder (6/11/1933, Gemini Rooster), Mel Brooks (6/28/1926, Cancer Tiger) : The two actor/filmmakers famously worked together on the films, The Producers (1967), Blazing Saddles (1974), and Young Frankenstein (1974). In his memoir, All About Me!: My Remarkable Life in Showbusiness (2021), Brooks recalled a disagreement over Wilder's idea to have Frankenstein and his Monster do a song-and-dance routine: "I thought it was a great idea and very funny, but it was too far out...I insisted it was too silly and would tear the continuity of the movie to pieces. Gene disagreed. He said, 'It’s amazing! It’s proof of how incredible Frankenstein’s creation is.' We fought and we fought. Our tempers rose and we almost got into a fistfight over it. Then Gene calmed me down and he said, 'OK. Do me a favor. Film it and we’ll take a look at it. If it doesn’t work, I promise we’ll throw it out.' I have never been so wrong in my life."

Marsha Garces Williams (6/18/1956, Gemini Monkey), Robin Williams (7/21/1951, Cancer Rabbit) : The actor and film producer/philanthropist were married from 1989 to 2010. They had two children together, and shared custody of another child from Williams' previous marriage. Garces had previously worked as a nanny for Williams' family. Williams' co-star in the show, Mork and Mindy (1978-1982), Pam Dawber, described in 1988: "Marsha is Robin’s anchor. She’s reality. Ground zero. She’s very sane, and that’s what he needs. She’s incredibly loving too. And protective. She knows who is bad for him and who is good, and she helps keep the good relationships going." After Williams died in 2014, Garces released a statement, saying: "My heart is split wide open and scattered over the planet with all of you. Please remember the gentle, loving, generous — and yes, brilliant and funny — man that was Robin Williams. My arms are wrapped around our children as we attempt to grapple with celebrating the man we love, while dealing with this immeasurable loss."

Joshua Jackson (6/11/1978, Gemini Horse), Diane Kruger (7/15/1976, Cancer Dragon) : The two actors were together for ten years from 2006. They have both spoken publicly about their unfortunate first date, with Kruger saying, "I thought [Jackson] might say, 'Let's call it a day. I'll bring you home.' And of course not. He talked about himself for an hour and a half. Nonstop. He took me back to my hotel in his car, which was a piece of s**t. Excuse me, but it was. The door was eaten by his dog, it smelled so bad. If you know Josh, you know he was not the tidiest of guys, so trust me, it was not cute. I swear to God, at the end, I was like 'Should I slap him?'" The pair have remained friendly since their break-up—when Kruger won the Best Actress award at Cannes in 2017, Jackson posted: "Having witnessed the integrity and dedication that you bring to every job, I'm over the moon to see you getting the recognition you deserve."

Nicole Kidman (6/20/1967, Gemini Sheep), Tom Cruise (7/3/1962, Cancer Tiger) : The two actors were and remain one of the most famous couples in showbusiness history. They were married from 1990 to 2001, and adopted two children together. Kidman has described: "I was willing to give up everything. I now see that as part of me. I’m willing to do that — I do it when I do a movie too. I’m willing to go, ‘Yeah, bring it on, consume me, intoxicate me.’ I want to feel alive — I want to reel, basically. I was reeling with Tom and I loved it and I would have walked to the end of the earth. That meant giving up a lot of things that were very important to me."

Andrew Rannells (8/23/1978, Virgo Horse), Tuc Watkins (9/2/1966, Virgo Horse) : The two actors have been together since they acted together in the Broadway production of The Boys in the Band in 2019. About announcing their relationship on Instagram, Watkins described: "I just couldn’t not talk about it anymore. It was just out of excitement. It was just joy. You’re always a little trepidatious to put things that are intimate about your life out there for the world to see, but I just couldn't help it anymore just because I liked him so darn much."

Margot Robbie (7/2/1990, Cancer Horse), Tom Ackerley (6/13/1990, Gemini Horse) : The actor and film producer have been together since 2014 and married in 2016. Robbie has described: "We were friends for so long. I was always in love with him, but I thought, 'Oh, he would never love me back. Don't make it weird, Margot. Don't be stupid and tell him that you like him. And then it happened, and I was like, 'Of course we're together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.'"

Harrison Ford (7/13/1942, Cancer Horse), Sean Connery (8/25/1930, Virgo Horse) : The two actors memorably played father and son in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, despite an age difference of only 12 years. Ford joked, "I am so much younger-looking than I really am, and he’s so much older-looking than he is. But if you ask him, he’ll say he acted it." Although the younger actor had nothing but praise for Connery's contribution: "It was amazing for me in how far [Connery] got into the script and went after exploiting opportunities for character. His suggestions to George [Lucas] at the writing stage really gave the character and the picture a lot more complexity and value than it had in the original screenplay."

James Franco (4/19/1978, Aries Horse), Tyrese Gibson (12/30/1978, Capricorn Horse) : The two actors starred together in the 2006 film, Annapolis. Gibson has expressed frustration about the experience, saying: "James Franco is a Method actor. I respect Method actors, but he never snapped out of character. Whenever we'd have to get in the ring for boxing scenes, and even during practice, the dude was full-on hitting me. I was always like, 'James, lighten up, man. We're just practicing.' He never lightened up."

Aretha Franklin (3/25/1942, Aries Horse), Ray Charles (9/23/1930, Libra Horse) : The two legendary soul musicians met for the first time in 1971, during a three-night run of shows by Franklin at the Fillmore East theater in New York. The performances have been hailed by Rolling Stone at number 12 on their list of the greatest concerts in the last 50 years. The magazine described: "On the last night, Franklin pulled Ray Charles out of the crowd. Though they’d just met that day, the two traded piano and vocal parts on an epic 19-minute version of 'Spirit in the Dark.' 'She turned the thing into church,” Charles said later. 'I mean, she’s on fire.'"

Helmut Kohl (4/3/1930, Aries Horse), Angela Merkel (7/17/1954, Cancer Horse) : The two German Chancellors once shared a close mentorship, with Kohl famously referring to Merkel as his "Mädchen" or "girl". However, they never reconciled after a rift led to Merkel taking over leadership of their Christian Democrats party. Kohl later described Merkel as the "traitor general" and accused her of "destroying my Europe".
