Benedict Cumberbatch (7/19/1976, Cancer Dragon), Sophie Hunter (3/16/1978, Pisces Horse) : The actor and theatre director/playwright married in 2015 and have three children. Though the couple have avoided discussing their relationship publicly, Cumberbatch said in 2016: "Home is always the roots and the safe harbor."

Lionel Messi (6/24/1987, Cancer Rabbit), Antonela Roccuzzo (2/26/1988, Pisces Dragon) : The soccer superstar and model have known each other since their childhood in Rosario, Argentina. Messi confirmed their relationship publicly in 2009, and they have three children together.

Selena Gomez (7/22/1992, Cancer Monkey), Justin Bieber (3/1/1994, Pisces Dog) : The musician and musician/actor formed one of the most high-profile couples in the world when they dated on-and-off between 2010 and 2018. At one time, Gomez explained, "I'll forever support [Bieber] and love him in a way….we grew up together," while Bieber said, "I'm never going to stop loving [Gomez]. I'm never going to stop checking in on her." After Gomez released her commercially and critically acclaimed song, "Lose You to Love Me", which she appeared to acknowledge was about her relationship with Bieber, she described: "I'm very proud of it...It's not a hateful song; it's a song that is saying — I had something beautiful and I would never deny that...now here I am stepping into a whole other chapter."

Mel Brooks (6/28/1926, Cancer Tiger), Carl Reiner (3/20/1922, Pisces Dog) : The two actor/comedian/screenwriters were best friends for over 70 years. They famously collaborated on the 2000 Year Old Man comedy albums in the 1950s/1960s. They were known for spending their evenings together in their 90s, watching Jeopardy and eating together at Reiner's house. In 2021, Brooks recalled: "Any time I could surprise [Reiner] and really break him up, I knew it was funny. He was the greatest audience. Ahhh, I miss him so much...He would call me in the evenings and say, ‘Come over, come over! I got a big stuffed cabbage for us!’ Even at the end he was always Carl: funny, sweet-natured, warm and just the most wonderful friend a person could ever have. People know how good he was, but not how great."

Angélique Kidjo (7/14/1960, Cancer Rat), Miriam Makeba (3/4/1932, Pisces Monkey) : The two singer/songwriters shared a close mentoring friendship. Kidjo described in 2022: "In 1989, I was asked to be [Makeba's] opening act in Paris. During my soundcheck, she walked onstage, and I was frozen. I was shaking from emotion. She said, 'Hello, little girl! You have a nice voice!' After that, every time she would see me, she’d say, 'You’re doing good!' It was a friendship between a daughter and a musical mother. She said, 'Never accept anyone to put you in the category of "world music." All music is in the world. Everything people listen to comes from Africa. Why are we put in the ghetto of "world music?"' She gave me a lot of advice...I want my music to carry her legacy and to sing to her every time I’m onstage."

Carly Simon (6/25/1945, Cancer Rooster), James Taylor (3/12/1948, Pisces Rat) : The two singer/songwriters were married from 1972 to 1983, and had two children. In her memoir, Boys in the Trees (2015), Simon wrote about their early intimacy: "It was the nicest contact I could ever know, could ever have asked for, or ever remember…James was my muse, my Orpheus, my ‘good night, sweet prince,’ my something-in-the-way-he-moves."

Joni Mitchell (11/7/1943, Scorpio Sheep), Charles Mingus (4/22/1922, Taurus Dog) : Singer/songwriter Mitchell and bassist/composer Mingus created a daring and unexpected collaboration with Mitchell's album, Mingus (1979), which was recorded during Mingus' final months before he died early in 1979. Mitchell wrote in the liner notes, "The first time I saw [Mingus'] face it shone up at me with a joyous mischief. I liked him immediately. I had come to New York to hear six new songs he had written for me. I was honored! I was curious! It was as if I had been standing by a river – one toe in the water – feeling it out – and Charlie came by and pushed me in – 'sink or Swim' – him laughing at me dog paddling around in the currents of black classical music. Time never ticked so loudly for me as it did this last year. I wanted Charlie to witness the project's completion. He heard every song but one...This was a difficult but challenging project. I was trying to please Charlie and still be true to myself. I cut each song three or four times. I was after something personal – something mutual – something indescribable."

Angus Young (3/31/1955, Aries Sheep), Bon Scott (7/9/1946, Cancer Dog) : Guitarist Young and singer Scott were the two most prominent members of the rock band, AC/DC, before Scott's tragic death in 1980. Young described in 2011: "[Scott was] [p]robably too friendly to a lot of people. He had no airs and graces about him, probably because he was a drummer at heart. When he got into music, that's what he wanted to do. In fact, when he joined the band, he said, 'I want to play drums.' ...[H]e was a good drummer. It showed in his character, because he saw himself as just another member of the band. He didn't have this lead singer attitude of, 'I have to be at the front, all the time. I'm the singer. I'm the star. I get the chicks.'...Sure[, we fed off each other's energy]. He could get you sometimes. Some of the things he did, I would simply say, 'Hey now, there's no way I'm doing that.' He was very gymnastic for some reason, perhaps because of the way he was built, and he could easily climb up a P.A. tower and jump off it -- and he’d usually try and drag me with him! He’d be going, 'Jump! Now!' My knees would be shaking and I’d say, 'You’ve got to give me a few seconds to get my nerve up, man.'"

Philip Seymour Hoffman (7/23/1967, Leo Sheep), Paul Thomas Anderson (6/26/1970, Cancer Dog) : The actor and director collaborated on multiple occasions. Although Anderson has said he "knew what love at first sight was" after seeing Hoffman on screen in Scent of a Woman (1992), for many years he cast Hoffman in minor character roles—in Hard Eight (1996), Boogie Nights (1997), Magnolia (1999), and Punch-Drunk Love (2002)—before Hoffman's Oscar-nominated supporting performance in The Master (2012). Anderson has described: "Believe me, when I was a kid, you sort of draw out movie cameras and sets, at like 8 or 9 years old, and nowhere in it did I draw anything that looked like [Hoffman], you know. [Laughs] I thought like Cary Grant would be in my movie or Harrison Ford, but something happened when I saw him."

Blue Hamilton (11/27/1979, Sagittarius Sheep), Matt Dallas (10/21/1982, Libra Dog) : The actor and record producer have been married since 2015 and share two children together. They have become prominent advocates for the foster to adopt program in the US. Dallas has explained: "Early on in our relationship, we both were so career focused living here in Los Angeles. When we moved to Phoenix full time, we both realized we were missing a child in our family...[O]nce we learned that there is about 20,000 kids in Arizona’s foster system... once we started reading the stories of all these kids… learning how so many of them age out of the foster system, and so many of them go on to not even have families; it is really heart-breaking. We just knew that we were going to foster and adopt."

Iman (7/25/1955, Leo Sheep), David Bowie (1/8/1947, Capricorn Dog) : The model and legendary musician were married from 1992 until his death in 2016 and shared a daughter together. Speaking in 2021, Iman described: "I still feel married. Someone a few years ago referred to David as my late husband and I said 'No, he's not my late husband. He's my husband.' Through my memory, my love lives."

Rose Byrne (7/24/1979, Leo Sheep), Seth Rogen (4/15/1982, Aries Dog) : The two actors share a strong friendship, and have worked together multiple times, including the films Neighbors (2014) and Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (2016), and the series, Platonic (2023). Describing their collaboration on Platonic, Byrne said: "[The show] lives and dies on the friendship and the chemistry of the two people. And I knew that it had to be Seth [to play her longtime platonic friend in the show]. And it just was a question of whether he would or not, and convince him, but he was immediately on board, so it was wonderful...The dynamic is just intuitive. And we realized that day one, like, ‘Oh, yeah, all right. We can do these things, but we can't do these things.’ It was an opportunity to discover different ways [from the Neighbors films] to find the comedy."

Georg Stanford Brown (6/24/1943, Cancer Sheep), Tyne Daly (2/21/1946, Pisces Dog) : The two actors were married for 24 years, from 1966 to 1990. Asked about their "interracial" marriage in 1985, Daly was quoted as saying, "I gave up categories a long time ago. In fact, when we did [our daughter] Alyxandra's birth certificate, under 'race,' we put 'human'; under 'sex' we put 'yes'; and under ethnic origin we put 'citizen of the world.' I have a good and interesting marriage that has gone on for quite some time and he's an interesting fellow and we have some fascinating young children."
