Cancer Sheep and Libra Ox

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.'"

Jane Fonda (12/21/1937, Sagittarius Ox), Katharine Hepburn (5/12/1907, Taurus Sheep) : The two actors co-starred memorably in the film, On Golden Pond (1981), for which Hepburn won an Oscar for Best Actress. Fonda described in 2021: "What an interesting woman. I mean, we were not friends. [Hepburn] was really competitive. She really thought that I was out to win more Academy Awards than she was, and when she won for On Golden Pond I called to congratulate her, and she said, 'You'll never catch me now.'...She did not like me. She once [said] that I didn't have a soul...She took that very seriously about teaching to younger people. She took me—I can't say under her wing, she didn't like me very much...What I loved about her was that she took the job of being an elder very seriously. She was intentional about teaching me and talking to me, including giving me line readings, and I found that just wonderful."

Keira Knightley (3/26/1985, Aries Ox), David Cronenberg (3/15/1943, Pisces Sheep) : The actor and director worked together on the biopic, A Dangerous Method. Talking about the sadomasochistic scenes in the film, Cronenberg has said, "I had a lot of fun. I’m not so sure about Keira...We had a very frank discussion about what would disturb her, what she was comfortable with, and so on. She was never comfortable with it, but comfort was not my main thing."

Frank Vincent (4/15/1937, Aries Ox), Joe Pesci (2/9/1943, Aquarius Sheep) : The two actors were longtime friends and collaborators as bandmates and a comedy duo before becoming famous for their roles as gangsters in Scorcese blockbusters including Goodfellas. Speaking of his highly combustible, love-hate relationship with Pesci, Vincent commented, "We were like a husband and wife and broke up many times...Every night we'd argue over every word...We would never say who's the boss but we were two very creative people."

Rian Johnson (12/17/1973, Sagittarius Ox), Natasha Lyonne (4/4/1979, Aries Sheep) : The actor and filmmaker collaborated on the TV show Poker Face, an innovative throwback to serialized shows from the 1970s. Johnson described: "The whole thing is a bespoke suit, cut entirely to [Lyonne]...[W]hen I first came to her, all I came to her with was the notion of a procedural show, case-of-the-week thing, you at the center of it. That’s all I had. And then we started up conversations and went back and forth and really started true collaboration...Everything about it was trying to harness and even amplify everything that I love about watching Natasha on screen. The whole thing is completely cut to measure for her."

Caitlyn Jenner (10/28/1949, Scorpio Ox), Kris Jenner (11/5/1955, Scorpio Sheep) : The two media personalities were married for 22 years. They had two children together and raised a blended family including children from their previous marriages. Shortly after finalizing their divorce in 2014, Caitlyn (previously Bruce) Jenner came out as transgender in 2015. Kris Jenner has said publicly that the publication of Caitlyn's memoir, The Secrets of My Life, resulted in a period of estrangement, but that relations have since improved: "We're fine. Yeah, we're friends. And I see her when she's at a family thing so it's, you know, settled down a lot. I think [Caitlyn's transition] was a big shock. It's a scary thing to go through because you know nothing about it. It's a subject I never thought that I would ever have to directly deal with [or] confront [or] be understanding about. Something that I didn't, you know, understand."

Meryl Streep (6/22/1949, Cancer Ox), Robert De Niro (8/17/1943, Leo Sheep) : These two famous actors worked together on the sets of Falling in Love (1984) and The Deer Hunter (1978). When presenting an award to Streep, De Niro stated, "Meryl is the most generous and giving actor...She not only inhabits her own character, she helps bring out the character of everyone else on the screen...Meryl doesn't seem to have any imperfections. And I say that with the most love for you, Meryl."

Nas (9/14/1973, Virgo Ox), Rakim (1/28/1968, Aquarius Sheep) : The two rappers have collaborated together and share a close bond as part of the hip hop community. Seeking to dispel rumours about a breakdown in their relationship, Rakim acknowledged that he felt there was a breach of privacy in Nas's tribute track, "The Unauthorized Biography of Rakim", which references Rakim’s professional and private history. Rakim explained, "I pulled him [Nas] to the side and let him know I still got love for him. At the same time it’s principles. I’ve always been a reserved person. There’s certain things I speak about and certain things I don’t speak about. I just felt violated almost that he touched on certain things I haven’t even touched on."
