Cancer Rabbit and Sagittarius Rooster

Frances McDormand (6/23/1957, Cancer Rooster), Joel Coen (11/29/1954, Sagittarius Horse) : The actor and director have been married since 1984. They have collaborated on films including Raising Arizona (1987), Barton Fink (1991), Fargo (1996), The Man Who Wasn't There (2001), Burn After Reading (2008), and Hail, Caesar! (2016). McDormand has described: "It was a revelation that I could have a lover who I could also work with and I wasn't intimidated by the person. It was: Wow! Really! Oh, my God! I can actually love and live — not subvert anything, not apologize for anything, not hide anything." On another occasion, she said: "Although we have often collaborated on films, we have both had really autonomous careers and so we have always had new things to tell each other."

Colin Jost (6/29/1982, Cancer Dog), Scarlett Johansson (11/22/1984, Sagittarius Rat) : The actor and comedian/writer have known each other since 2006 and been together since 2017. They married in October 2020 and have one child together. Presenting Saturday Night Live in 2019 (where Jost has been variously a writer and presenter since 2005), Johansson said: "This place means so much to me. I have so many friends here and I met the love of my life here."

Charlotte Gainsbourg (7/21/1971, Cancer Pig), Jane Birkin (12/14/1946, Sagittarius Dog) : The mother and daughter are both actor/musicians. They collaborated on Gainsbourg's directorial debut, Jane by Charlotte (2021), an intimate documentary film comprising interviews between the two women. Gainsbourg described about making the film: "The thing is, it could have never ended and at one point, we don’t want it to end. Although the starting point was really tough, we ended in such a sweet place where it was so easy to be together and talk...[By the end] I was asking everything that I wanted without thinking about whether they were subjects that I should avoid. She didn’t feel uncomfortable about any of it and she was so helpful at the end of the shoot."

Charlamagne tha God (6/29/1978, Cancer Horse), Jessica Gadsden (11/29/1981, Sagittarius Rooster) : The radio host and fitness instructor/businesswoman have known each other since high school and married in 2014. Charlamagne tha God has described: "I don’t have a prenup because me and my wife have been together for twenty-three years. Literally, the first time I ever went to a radio station to fill out an application for an internship, my wife drove me because my license was suspended...When I was getting fired from radio...she was the one going to work everyday, paying the bills. When we were getting evicted, she was the one going down to the courthouse, and explaining to the judge why we couldn't get evicted."

Tom Cruise (7/3/1962, Cancer Tiger), Katie Holmes (12/18/1978, Sagittarius Horse) : The two actors shared one of the most famous marriages in the world between 2006 and 2012. They had one child, their daughter Suri. Holmes described in 2009: "[On a typical day we're] all together. We like to be together, so we use the house for our [business] meetings. [We] play Yahtzee, board games, Scrabble. We grill; have pool parties. We play 'The Three Little Pigs' and Suri is the Big Bad Wolf. [Tom] reads storybooks to Suri, and we all laugh. When a good song comes on, he'll break out in a dance. We'll watch movies in bed—recently Madagascar and Cinderella, for Suri. We really have a good time."

Mitch Mitchell (7/9/1946, Cancer Dog), Jimi Hendrix (11/27/1942, Sagittarius Horse) : The two musicians collaborated extensively as two thirds of the band The Jimi Hendrix Experience. They had planned to continue as the Experience or as 'Jimi Hendrix', with a new bass player, before Hendrix died in 1970. Mitchell later described: "There are a lot of things that we never said. I think what it comes down to is a kind of mutual respect for each other. Musically, I’d give him a hard time, he’d give me a hard time, though it was a very compatible situation from my side. It was very interesting to work with someone who would give you that ultimate freedom that seemed to have whatever time existed in your head. There were no boundaries, there were no limits at all. Jimi was irreplaceable, both as a friend and a musician. I miss him as much today."

Ariana Grande (6/26/1993, Cancer Rooster), Nicki Minaj (12/8/1982, Sagittarius Dog) : The two musician/actors are friends who have collaborated on multiple occasions, including the songs 'Side to Side', 'The Light Is Coming', 'Bang Bang', 'Bed', and 'Bad To You'. They have also performed live together at Coachella, the European Music Awards, the Video Music Awards, the iHeart Radio Festival, and the American Music Awards. Grande tweeted to Minaj in 2018: "Remember when u called me at 5am and said get ur a— up n come to the stu [studio] b— and I propelled myself out the door at the speed of light wearing slippers that later got soaked in rain and we had the best morning of my life[?] I do."

Quentin Tarantino (3/27/1963, Aries Rabbit), Spike Lee (3/20/1957, Pisces Rooster) : A feud between the two celebrated film-makers reportedly dates back to Tarantino's 1997 film, Jackie Brown, which Lee argued made gratuitous use of the N-word. Following the release of Django Unchained in 2012, Lee tweeted (using characteristic capitalization): "American Slavery Was Not A Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western. It Was A Holocaust. My Ancestors Are Slaves. Stolen From Africa. I Will Honor Them."

Les Paul (6/9/1915, Gemini Rabbit), Leo Fender (8/10/1909, Leo Rooster) : The competition between these famous inventors has been credited with inspiring the most important electric guitars in history, the Gibson Les Paul and Leo Fender's Telecaster and Stratocaster. After having an opportunity to play Fender's new sold body guitar, Les Paul reportedly told an executive at Gibson's parent company, "[I]f you don't do something, Fender will rule the world."

Maria Sharapova (4/19/1987, Aries Rabbit), Serena Williams (9/26/1981, Libra Rooster) : The intense competitiveness between these two famous former world No. 1 tennis players has been described by some as a feud. Reflecting on their on and off court relationship, Sharapova has commented, "Serena and I should be friends; we have the same passion. But we are not. I think, to some extent, we have driven each other. Maybe that’s what it takes. Only when you have that intense antagonism can you find the strength to finish her off. Who knows?"

Saul Bellow (6/10/1915, Gemini Rabbit), Philip Roth (3/19/1933, Pisces Rooster) : These famous writers shared a mutual respect, with the older and more established writer, Bellow, mentoring the younger prodigy, Roth. After Roth's last ever interview, the interviewer Asaf Galay reported that, "[Roth said] he missed arguing with [Bellow] at the table, but that Bellow was not a good friend. He said something like: 'He wouldn’t be the first guy whose companionship I’d seek out in the afterlife'."

Lauryn Hill (5/26/1975, Gemini Rabbit), Wyclef Jean (10/17/1969, Libra Rooster) : The two musicians were members of the band The Fugees and had a tumultuous affair during which both were involved with other people. In his memoir, Purpose: An Immigrant's Story, Jean describes the intense attraction between him and Hill as well as a relationship that was toxic. He writes: "You can hear the tension in the music, all of that impossible love...It was like we knew it wasn’t going to work from the start, but we couldn’t shy away...The way we related we couldn’t sustain because it was this whirlwind of creativity, this success, this performance."

50 Cent (7/6/1975, Cancer Rabbit), Jay-Z (12/4/1969, Sagittarius Rooster) : These two famous rappers have known each other for many years and were involved in a famous beef in 2009. 50 Cent has since described their relationship as strictly "business": "We are in the same business. We are not necessarily friends. We don’t call each other for no reason. It’s not like we have something against each other to make us enemies. Me and Jay will use each other. Repeatedly. For energy."
