Western Zodiac
Cancer and Cancer
Compatibility overview
This is a sometimes quite mysterious, yet potentially deeply rewarding combination. Matches between natives of the same sign inevitably involve an abundance of the same energy, which can mean a lack of balance. Two Cancers together are likely to exhibit some surprising or unorthodox behaviors, but they can also share a life-affirming warmth and closeness.

Two Cancers together share the element of Water. Hence they share a natural affinity from the very beginning of their relationship. Water is the most changeable and existential of the elements, emphasising deep thought and a sensitivity to the fluidity and complexity of life. A pair of Cancers will thus find in each other a deeply reassuring sense of compassionate introspection.
Cancer's Cardinal modality means that the Water element is here at its most pure and impressionable. This can sometimes contribute to a sense of loneliness or feeling overcrowded, as if Cancer is so busy responding to and reflecting the needs of others it is hard to locate their own desires. Hiding in plain sight can be quite a common experience for this sign. With another Cancer, however, they have the space they need to breathe. They can relax into exploring their individual identity, sensing (with Cancer's famous intuition) that their opposite number shares the same priorities for peace, tenderness, and dreaming.
If anything, in fact, the challenge for two Cancers is a lack of direction. This sign is so accustomed to reacting that together they may feel somewhat aimless—not unpleasantly so, in fact often quite delightfully, but even so, somewhat lacking in clear direction or purpose. This can seem quite strange or non-conformist to outsiders. Others may wonder how two Cancers can be so happy just treading water without really trying to go anywhere.
This quality of drifting may mean two Cancers do not form a traditional bond, or perhaps fade in and out of each other's life in unexpected ways. In whatever form this relationship takes, though, two Cancers can exploit the effortless flexibility of their sign to create an uplifting and deeply comforting bond.

Larry David (7/2/1947, Cancer Pig), Richard Lewis (6/29/1947, Cancer Pig) : The two comedians were born three days apart at the same hospital in Brooklyn.

Chinese Zodiac
Pig and Pig
Compatibility overview
A genuine treasure trove if ever there was one, two souls born in the year of the Pig typically share an incredible generosity of spirit. These two know how to have a good time! As with any own-sign combination, they will need to manage a lack of balance. Competitiveness, over-indulgence, and occasionally spectacular naivety would not be unexpected. Nevertheless, these two kindred spirits typically share a multitude of gifts and good fortune, making for a generally delightful relationship.

Underlying the Chinese zodiac is the basic concept of the four Trine Families, like the elements in Western astrology. The Pig belongs to the same peace-loving, generous, and idealistic family as the Rabbit and Sheep. Hence two Pig souls will often find they get along easily from the get-go, as they share a bedrock of common values, and have a naturally gregarious character that makes socializing a joy.
Even given their reputation for generosity, most Pig natives can still surprise and delight their friends with their selflessness and amiable, magnanimous personalities. Two Pigs together can find they effortlessly create an atmosphere rich with merriment and conviviality. In quick time, they could literally be falling over each other to share such wealth as they possess, both material and immaterial. It is rare indeed for a Pig to find themselves more receiving than giving, so part of the excitement for these two when they get together is likely to involve trying to outdo each other's compliments and self-sacrifice. Nor is the public-spiritedness of the Pig confined to intimate or local settings. The Pig is often tirelessly devoted to social causes and remedying injustice. Two Pigs will typically bond over a common desire to improve the lives of everyone around them, and to advocate fiercely for the underprivileged or disenfranchised.
To be sure, own-sign matches are always faced with an overabundance of some energy, and a lack of corrective balance. The benevolent Pig usually cannot help but be the life of the party, so two Pigs may sometimes find it hard to accommodate each other's largesse without feeling cramped or eclipsed. Self-discipline is rarely the Pig's strongest suit, so a pair of this sign will need to be careful to avoid potentially stunning indulgence, lest they over-extend themselves physically, financially, or otherwise. The Pig's trusting nature can be a powerful asset, but it can leave them vulnerable to exploitation. Two souls born under this sign will need to be doubly careful to avoid being taken advantage of by others, or perhaps on occasion by each other.
Ultimately, some Pig duos may find that a healthy dose of independence relieves the pressure of an intensely close connection. That said, many people born under this sign are blessed by an abundance of good fortune. Hence two members of this sign may find they are able to leverage the significant affinities between them into a lasting and extremely lucky connection.

Christopher Guest (2/5/1948, Aquarius Pig), Michael McKean (10/17/1947, Libra Pig) : Director/actor/musician/comedian/screenwriter Guest and actor/musician/comedian/screenwriter McKean are friends who have been working together since the 1960s. Their collaborations include the films, This is Spinal Tap (1984), Best in Show (2000), and A Mighty Wind (2003), and the TV series, Family Tree (2013). McKean described in 2013, "Chris and I have known each other since 1967, and we’ve done a lot of stuff together. We started writing songs together immediately. We have a handful of songs that nobody has ever heard and probably will never hear. But we just kind of hit it off right away...Chris Guest is a conductor. He’s a conductor of kind of a jazz orchestra. He wants you to go wherever you want to go, but he also knows how to keep time, and he knows when you need more of something or less of something. And that’s how he does it."
Dolly Wells (12/5/1971, Sagittarius Pig), Emily Mortimer (12/1/1971, Sagittarius Pig) : The two actor/writers are lifelong friends, who co-wrote and co-starred in the British TV series, Doll & Em (2014-2015). They subsequently collaborated on the film, Good Posture (2019, written and directed by Wells). Mortimer described in 2015: "Part of the reason that we have a good rapport as writing partners – and as friends – is that we talk about everything. There’s no stone that goes unturned. Even when we got irritated with each other we talk about it immediately and analyse it compulsively and so any problem that arises gets talked out quite quickly, and it goes away."
Snoop Dogg (10/20/1971, Libra Pig), Shante Broadus (10/30/1971, Scorpio Pig) : The legendary rapper Snoop Dogg and businesswoman Broadus were a couple in high school, and married in 1997. They have four children. After a separation during the 2000s, they renewed their vows in 2008. After appointing Broadus as his official manager in 2021, Snoop described, "Shante has been guiding my career behind the scenes from day one. She has always been my final gut check with all my decisions, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without her. I am grateful to have her as my official manager, helping to build the Snoop Dogg empire together." He previously said in 2013, "[Broadus is] always right. Because you gotta understand the turmoil and stuff that I put her through, in my journey on becoming successful, because I had no understanding of how I was doing her, how I was hurting her, and how I was betraying myself, until I became a man and realized that I had to love this woman who loved me and had my kids, and put my life in perspective and let my music and my business be secondary."
Nicholas L. Ashe (5/1/1995, Taurus Pig), Justice Smith (8/9/1995, Leo Pig) : The two actors announced in 2020 that they were queer, and in a relationship. In a 2022 advertising campaign, Ashe told Smith, "I remember when my mom passed, I asked you to not be further than like, two inches from me for a while. And you just really like honored that."
Emma Thompson (4/15/1959, Aries Pig), Hugh Laurie (6/11/1959, Gemini Pig) : The two actors dated at university in the 1970s and have remained good friends. In 2000, Thompson described whimsically, "[Laurie] is very loveable. He is one of those rare people who manages to be lugubriously sexy, like a well-hung eel." In a speech celebrating Thompson's induction to the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2010, Laurie said, "[Thompson has always] oozed talent. She said talented things, she wore talented clothes, she rode a talented bicycle, she made talented spaghetti. She is a truly remarkable person, a very good friend, and I could not be prouder."
Chris Hemsworth (8/11/1983, Leo Pig), Tessa Thompson (10/3/1983, Libra Pig) : The two actors have formed a strong and popular friendship, after working together on blockbuster films including, Thor: Ragnarok (2017), Avengers: Endgame (2019), Men in Black: International (2019), and Thor: Love and Thunder (2022). Thompson described in 2019, "[M]y whole trajectory since I’ve started [on blockbusters] has been with Chris. I feel really lucky because he’s so good at it and so giving and has taught me so much about the stamina it takes to make these kinds of movies, the imagination, the sense of humor, and how important it is to keep morale up on set, which he does so well. In the history of Hollywood movies there’s been so many duos that get to work on tons of films together in this line of Hepburn and Tracy. So I loved that idea of taking two people and putting them in different kinds of circumstances." Hemsworth said, "Having this great friendship that continues to grow through each of these experiences has been a huge advantage...[W]e were lucky enough from day one on ‘Ragnarok’ to notice that we’re like-minded and have similar approaches to our work. It’s definitely one of my favorite working relationships."
