Compatibility
Cancer Monkey and Libra Monkey

Billy Crudup (7/8/1968, Cancer Monkey), Naomi Watts (9/28/1968, Libra Monkey) : The actors became a couple around 2017 and appeared together on the red carpet at the SAG Awards in February 2022. Both have children from previous relationships. In an Instagram post after the Emmy awards, Watts said simply: "What a night... What a dress... What a gent... ❤️✨"

Willem Dafoe (7/22/1955, Cancer Sheep), Giada Colagrande (10/16/1975, Libra Rabbit) : The actor and film-maker have been married since 2005. "I met [Colagrande] on the street in Rome in 2004. I knew of her because I'd seen her films and we had some mutual friends. Getting married was very impulsive and romantic. We were having lunch and I said: 'Do you want to get married tomorrow?' I called up City Hall and they said: 'If you get here in the next couple of hours, you can register and then you can get married tomorrow.' So we ran down there."

Megan Rapinoe (7/5/1985, Cancer Ox), Sue Bird (10/16/1980, Libra Monkey) : The basketball and soccer players have been a couple since 2017. Individually and together, they have been credited with "[B]oundary-obliterating levels of achievement on and off the field." Speaking about their lives together after they retire from professional sports, Rapinoe described: "I’m excited. Because there’s like [miming separate boxes with her hands] Megan, and Sue. And then there’s Megan and Sue. And I think that there’s so much to be done in all of those three buckets...I hope [our legacy is that] people see it doesn’t have to be this slog where you’re just a selfless servant. You can have fun, you can be successful. You can do it your own way."

Courtney Love (7/9/1964, Cancer Dragon), Carrie Fisher (10/21/1956, Libra Monkey) : The actor and musician/actor shared a strong friendship after they met at the Oscars ceremony in 1997. In the Foreword to Love's book, Dirty Blonde: The Diaries of Courtney Love, Fisher wrote: "There’s a saying: 'Some of us can’t find heaven without backing away from hell.' Well, it seems to me that that’s been part of Courtney Love’s experience—not that she’s found heaven, but I’m sure she has seen glimpses of the place. How could she not, with all her experience fighting her demons?…After all is said and done—whenever that is—she is a survivor. Unfortunately, the only thing wrong with being a survivor is you have to keep getting in trouble to show off your gift. Getting in trouble and then getting out again, bearing gifts."

Jaden Smith (7/8/1998, Cancer Tiger), Will Smith (9/25/1968, Libra Monkey) : The father and son actors have appeared together on screen several times. Will Smith's memoir, Will, described: "After Earth was an abysmal box office and critical failure, and what was worse was that Jaden took the hit. Fans and the press were absolutely vicious; they said and printed things about Jaden that I refuse to repeat. Jaden had faithfully done everything that I'd instructed him to do, and I had coached him. We never discussed it, but I know he felt betrayed. He felt misled, and he lost his trust in my leadership. At fifteen years old, when Jaden asked about being an emancipated minor, my heart shattered. He ultimately decided against it, but it sucks to feel like you've hurt your kids."

Paul Schrader (7/22/1946, Cancer Dog), Mary Beth Hurt (9/26/1946, Libra Dog) : The director and actor have been married since 1983 and have two children together. They have rarely spoken in public about their relationship, but in 1989, Mary Beth Hurt said simply, "I have everything I want, everything I need. And more. Paul and the kids are the best thing that ever happened to me."

Mike Tyson (6/30/1966, Cancer Horse), Evander Holyfield (10/19/1962, Libra Tiger) : The two former world champion boxers fought for the WBA heavyweight title in 1996, with Tyson infamously biting Holyfield's ear. Years later they reconciled, with both speaking warmly about the other. Tyson said, "We're both at a stage in our lives where we can work together and make really a good thing happen. He's a beautiful person. I've known Evander since I was 15." Holyfield commented, "He appreciates that I forgave him. He's forgiven himself. That's how you make adjustments in life."

Cheryl Cole (6/30/1983, Cancer Pig), Simon Cowell (10/7/1959, Libra Pig) : The two media personalities were both judges on The X Factor in the UK. They had a public falling out when Cole was dropped from the US version of the show after one episode, then reconciled and appeared together again in the UK edition. Often described as "frenemies", Cole described one exchange as follows: "[Cowell] said the same thing to my face about me manipulating him. I said: 'Simon, seriously – you've become so cynical that you think people manipulate you, but I'm not one of those people. Maybe what confuses you is that I don't play with you; you can't buy me.' And he said to me: 'When I say you manipulate, I mean it in the sincerest form of a compliment. Meaning: you're highly intelligent, and I don't even think you know you're doing it.'"

Damon Albarn (3/23/1968, Aries Monkey), Jamie Hewlett (4/3/1968, Aries Monkey) : Musician Albarn and artist Hewlett were housemates when they formed the hugely successful, influential, and conceptually revolutionary fictional band, Gorillaz. Their relationship has included some serious disputes, and at one time they did not speak for three years. Hewlett described in 2017: "[Albarn and I] fight at everything. We’d fight over a worm if we found it at the same time. It’s hilarious, but it’s stupid. We’re in a restaurant, we fight. In a taxi, we fight. In front of people, we fight. It’s just one-upmanship. School for Scoundrels. He’s an intense person to be friends with, I mean. A lot is required."

Debbie Reynolds (4/1/1932, Aries Monkey), Elizabeth Taylor (2/27/1932, Pisces Monkey) : The two actors from Hollywood's Golden Age shared a noteworthy and lasting friendship. Close during the 1950s, they became estranged after Taylor scandalously began an affair and subsequently married Reynolds' husband, Eddie Fisher. Yet they reconciled a few years later, when they found themselves on the same ocean liner. Reynolds described, "I sent a note to [Taylor's] room, and she sent a note back to mine saying that we should have dinner and get this over with and have a good time. She’d moved along in her life, and so had I." They later co-starred in the film, These Old Broads (2021) (written by Reynolds' daughter, Carrie Fisher, with Elaine Pope). Their friendship lasted until Taylor died in 2011, bequeathing Reynolds a generous sapphire jewelry set. Reynolds described, "People always assume you’re going to carry a grudge, but I don’t do that. [Taylor and I] passed through that with time."

Rita Wilson (10/26/1956, Scorpio Monkey), Tom Hanks (7/9/1956, Cancer Monkey) : The two celebrated actors have been married since 1988. They have four children, including two from previous relationships. Speaking in 2019, Wilson said, "It’s like anything. We got married, we committed to each other, we love each other and we work hard at our relationship. Not only do we love each other, we really like each other, and we like being together, and we support each other and we keep the communication channels open. That’s always important."

21 Savage (10/22/1992, Libra Monkey), Young Nudy (12/17/1992, Sagittarius Monkey) : The two rappers are cousins who have collaborated multiple times, including on the tracks, "Air it Out" (2015), "EA" (2017), "4L" (2013), "Since When" (2018), "Mister" (2019), "Snitches & Rats" (2020), and "Peaches & Eggplants" (2023). Young Nudy described in 2018, "After I did 'Air it Out' with Savage people just started f— with me. But I built my own little lane in all this s—, you feel me? Most rappers like they’ll be up under a rapper instead of handling their business. They’re just sitting there patiently waiting, waiting for another motherf— to do something for them. That’s not me, I got all my s— on my own. My cousin, just on the music side, I don’t ask him for anything. I just straight went out there and did my motherf— thing. That’s all you got to do. If you want it, you got to do it. I had my few little f—-ups and s— but I got it right...We not Batman and Robin. We’re Batman and Superman."

Demi Lovato (8/20/1992, Leo Monkey), Miley Cyrus (11/23/1992, Sagittarius Monkey) : The two singer/songwriter/actors share a longstanding close—and admittedly fractious at times—friendship. In 2012, Lovato described, "No matter how many times we fight, we will always be in each others' lives. Miley and I are very strong-headed, so when we fight, it's brutal and we're like, 'We're never going to be friends again!' Then two days later, we're like, 'I love you and I miss you!'" Eight years later, reconnecting over Instagram Live in the early days of the pandemic, Cyrus told Lovato, "Life is moving so fast that it’s usually hard to slow ourselves down and appreciate people in our lives, and you’ve been that person for me for so many years and we’ve been friends for so long. We can not talk forever and then some bulls— will go down, and I’ll just know you’re the person I want to reach out to. In dark times, it’s really important to reach towards those who are illuminated. I just think that you’re such a light — even if it took this crisis to get us connected again."
