Both the Western and Chinese zodiacs have a prized place for Trine sign combinations. Cancer and Scorpio, four steps apart on the Western zodiac wheel, form one of these prized matches.

Part of the recipe for harmony between these two signs arises from their shared element of Water. Water contributes essential fluidity and depth to these sensitive, empathic signs. Cancer and Scorpio are both highly attuned to the feelings of others. This is especially so for Cancer, the most impressionable and reactive of all the signs, but strong-willed Scorpio is also deceptively porous—Scorpio may sometimes sting instead of soothe, but they rarely miss their mark. In other company, the responsiveness of Cancer and Scorpio can make them feel crowded or overborne. Imagine their joy, then, when they discover an equally aware, responsive soul. These two will tend to communicate in ways beyond words from the very beginning, sensing a freedom to be completely themselves, as well as a shared respect for interior reflection and peace. Cancer’s love of home, and their instinct to cultivate an independent, dream-filled existence, can provide much-needed calmness to the life of the intense, powerful Scorpio. Scorpio’s uniquely driven, impactful nature gives Cancer confidence and security, while at the same time creating ample space for Cancer to truly understand their own nature in a way they rarely experience with other signs.

The respective modalities here are also marvellously compatible. Cancer is a Cardinal sign, embodying the pure energy of new possibilities and unexplored horizons, while Scorpio’s Fixed character brings the desire for productivity and tangible, real-world accomplishments. Collaborations are thus not only mutually pleasurable and admiring, but also destined to be completed and successful.

There may be no certainty in relationships, but on the Western side, no combination is more conducive to a rewarding and lasting connection than that between Cancer and Scorpio.

Camilla, Queen Consort (7/17/1947, Cancer Pig), King Charles III (11/14/1948, Scorpio Rat) : King Charles III and his wife the Queen Consort have known each other since the 1970s. They were widely rumored to be having an affair during Charles' marriage to Princess Diana Spencer, and married in 2005. Charles has described: "It’s always marvelous to have somebody who, you know, you feel understands and wants to encourage. Although she certainly pokes fun if I get too serious about things. And all that helps."

George W. Bush (7/6/1946, Cancer Dog), Laura Bush (11/4/1946, Scorpio Dog) : The 43rd US President and First Lady have been married since 1977 and have two children. They became engaged after three months of dating. Though they have rarely discussed their relationship in public, in a 2021 interview with his daughter Laura, George W. Bush said: "You should’ve seen your mom [when we met]. Those blue eyes, oh my god...I’ve done a lot of things in my life. And your mom has enabled me to do so in many ways."

Liv Tyler and Joaquin Phoenix

Liv Tyler (7/1/1977), Cancer Snake), Joaquin Phoenix (10/28/1974, Scorpio Tiger) : The two actors dated for three years after they started dating while co-starring in Inventing the Abbotts (1997). Phoenix described: "I’m a great believer in people coming into your life, and you into theirs, for a reason. And I know that when Liv and I met, it was for a reason — I really needed her and she really needed me. And at a certain point, I think we stopped evolving with each other, stopped progressing, and made a very mature decision to move on, even though there was still a great love there. There’s no one gossipy thing that I can share. I’m thankful that we had the time we had."

Paul Thomas Anderson (6/26/1970, Cancer Dog), Jonny Greenwood (11/5/1971, Scorpio Pig) : The director and composer have collaborated four times, on the films There Will Be Blood (2007), The Master (2012), Inherent Vice (2014), and Phantom Thread (2017). Greenwood has described: "[Y]ou should know that whenever you’re in the edit [room] with Paul he is — without exception — laughing throughout...He’s the whole package — scripts, cinematography, storytelling, humor, romance, oddness, and genuity. There’s no one like him: Perhaps there’s people who do the individual skills as well — or better— but no one has the full deck like Paul. I’m glad he’s terrible at playing musical instruments; there’s a job left for me."

Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio

Tobey Maguire (6/27/1975, Cancer Rabbit), Leonardo DiCaprio (11/11/1974, Scorpio Tiger) : The two actors have been close friends since they were teenagers. They have also worked together on several occasions, including co-starring in The Great Gatsby (2013). Maguire has described: "[Leo and I] are like any other buddies. There's a lot of laughing and chatting between us. We enjoy doing a lot of things we have in common, like basketball. We like to play and talk about basketball.."

Carly Simon (6/25/1945, Cancer Rooster), Mike Nichols (11/6/1931, Scorpio Sheep) : The singer/songwriter and film director were friends who collaborated extensively, including on the films Working Girl (1988), Heartburn (1986), and Postcards from the Edge (1990). After Nichols died in 2014, Simon wrote: "[Nichols] was the biggest influence in my adult life. Like a father or older brother to me. Giving me advice and when I didn’t take it, he’d smile the most understanding smile and say: 'You see, I warned you!!!' It was never mean or patronizing. His charm and wit are famous. I saw him so many times in the flesh, just sitting still, not knowing he was being watched. I felt his deep thoughts and observations without knowing what they were specifically."

Joanne Tucker and Adam Driver

Joanne Tucker (6/26/1982, Cancer Dog), Adam Driver (11/19/1983, Scorpio Pig) : The two actors were a longtime couple before they married in 2013. As well as acting together several times, they co-founded the organization Arts in the Armed Forces in 2006. Their first child was born in secret, with Driver explaining, "My job is to be a spy — to be in public and live life and have experience. But, when you feel like you’re the focus, it’s really hard to do that." In a monologue on SNL in 2020, Driver said to laughter: "I’m a husband and a father. It’s in that order though. I’ve been very clear with my son about that. He’s second to everything."

Lisa Rinner (7/11/1963, Cancer Rabbit), Harry Hamlin (10/30/1951, Scorpio Rabbit) : The two actors married in 1997 and have two children. They have also collaborated on multiple occasions, including on the reality TV series, Harry Loves Lisa (2010). Rinner has described: "We are crazy about each other, and you can't create that, you can't make it — it either is, or it isn't … I think you either really dig somebody, or you don't. And I'm so blessed, we are so blessed that that happened for us."

Rabbit and Rabbit

Compatibility overview

The combination of two natives of the Rabbit sign is a very harmonious match. There is always some lack of balance with own-sign matches, which here can emphasize comfortableness more than excitement. But two Rabbits share such a strong affinity, especially in terms of creative aesthetics and diplomacy, that they can be strongly aligned and protective of each other—an excellent foundation for any relationship.

An alliance between two Rabbits brings together two peace-loving idealists.

The essential structure of Chinese astrology is built on the four Trine Families. The Rabbit's family, which also includes the Pig and Sheep, is the family most strongly associated with beauty, home, and family. These two will tend to bond immediately over their love of all that is most graceful and hopeful in the world. Artists down to their very soul, two Rabbits are likely to admire each other's abilities as much as their respective instincts and values. They have little patience or resilience when it comes to disturbances, so being together usually enables them to create a serene and supportive environment, where encouragement and aesthetic ambition are essential priorities. An alliance between two Rabbits thus brings together two peace-loving idealists.

Challenges for this pairing are more likely to arise from a lack of tension between them than from upheaval. Their shared energy may sometimes seem more pleasant than thrilling. The Rabbit's diplomatic skills are highly developed, so without more difference to accommodate, they may feel as if they do not have as much to contribute to this match as to others. When disruptions do arise, they may both be rattled in ways that make it hard to stand strong together. It might sometimes seem more natural for two Rabbits to settle into a distant friendship or to part ways as allies than to forge a close bond. It would be a mistake, however, to underestimate the gifts this connection can bring.

Few signs truly appreciate how difficult it can be to persevere in idealism and creative vision. A fellow Rabbit will not need these priorities to be explained to them, for they will feel the same motivation in their own bones as well. The result is a potentially life-changing solidarity, capable of nurturing the somewhat fragile but miraculous talents of both Rabbits, whether as casual acquaintances or lifelong partners.

Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra

Billie Holiday (4/7/1915, Aries Rabbit), Frank Sinatra (12/12/1915, Sagittarius Rabbit) : The bond between the two legendary singers known as Lady Day and the Voice has been described as "a classic relationship of guru and disciple". Holiday was understated about her influence, saying, "I told [Sinatra] certain notes at the end he could bend. ... Bending those notes — that’s all I helped Frankie with." Sinatra, on the other hand, was effusive: "It is Billie Holiday ... who was, and still remains, the greatest single musical influence on me."

Elisabeth Shue (10/6/1963, Libra Rabbit), Davis Guggenheim (11/3/1963, Scorpio Rabbit) : The actor and writer/director have been married since 1994 and have three children together. Although they have kept their family life private, Shue has described Guggenheim's pivotal influence on her development as an actor: "Davis also knew that I was fighting my urge to become a great actress, which was something that was very important to me. I was afraid to want it for fear that it would never happen, and he challenged me and encouraged me to start studying and growing as an actor. He just loved me into taking acting seriously."

Quention Tarantino and Kurt Russell

Quentin Tarantino (3/27/1963, Aries Rabbit), Kurt Russell (3/17/1951, Pisces Rabbit) : The director and actor have collaborated multiple times. Tarantino has described Russell as an invaluable source for authenticity about productions from the 1970s and 1980s that have critically influenced Tarantino's work: "There’s almost nobody that Kurt didn’t work with at one point or other in his career. And just when I think I’ve talked to Kurt about everybody I can talk [to him about], I find some interesting actor on some show that did something interesting, and I wasn’t quite familiar with the guy, and I look him up, and it turns out that, like him and Kurt had a TV show together! [Laughs] ‘This guy?’ ‘Oh, that guy? Let me tell you about that guy."

Andy Murray (5/15/1987, Taurus Rabbit), Kim Sears (12/10/1987, Sagittarius Rabbit) : The painter and tennis player have been married since 2015. Sears famously wore a "Parental Advisory" T-shirt after being captured on-screen cursing in support of Murray. He said about the episode, "[S]he has a very good sense of humor, and she’s extremely protective and loyal to me, that’s for sure."

Harley Quinn Smith and Lily-Rose Depp

Lily-Rose Depp (5/27/1999, Gemini Rabbit), Harley Quinn Smith (6/26/1999, Cancer Rabbit) : The two actors (whose fathers are the director Kevin Smith and the actor Johnny Depp respectively) have been friends since kindergarten, and subsequently acted together in the films, Tusk (2014), and Yoga Hosers (2016). Depp has described: "Yeah, we were just talking about this, 'cause Harley had just been at the school for a year or so before I came, and so I remember visiting the classroom and just being the shyest little girl, hiding behind my mom’s legs and stuff. But Harley was one of the first people I actually talked to and opened up to, and she was one of my first friends ever."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The Trine energy between firstwest and secondwest is among the most cherished in the whole Western zodiac. These two are rarely happier than when working together hand-in-glove, sharing their instinctual warmth, encouragement, and stability. On the Chinese zodiac side, the prospects are also overwhelmingly positive, for the shared energy of the firsteast and secondeast denotes deeply-held common values, even if a lack of contrary energy sometimes limits their shared horizons or makes dispute resolution difficult. Overall, this energy matrix can yield a profoundly satisfying and effective relationship, characterized by warmth and long-term stability.
