Cancer Snake and Capricorn Sheep

George W. Bush (7/6/1946, Cancer Dog), Michelle Obama (1/17/1964, Capricorn Rabbit) : The 43rd US President and First Lady during the presidency of the 44th President have struck up a popular and for many surprising friendship. Obama described in 2018: "[Bush] is my partner in crime at every major thing where all the formers gather. So we’re together all the time, and I love him to death. He’s a wonderful man. He’s a funny man."

Patrick Stewart (7/13/1940, Cancer Dragon), Sunny Ozell (12/23/1978, Capricorn Horse) : The actor and singer/songwriter have been married since 2013. Responding to a question about the age difference between them, Ozell said, "He is so youthful and I guess I’m kind of an old worrywart, so we bridge the gap. It hasn’t come up much. He’s in better shape than I am, physically, which infuriates me." Stewart added, "I cannot fully understand this age thing. It’s not a matter of affectation, I honestly don’t know what happened, how I got here."

Prince William (6/21/1982, Cancer Dog), Kate Middleton (1/9/1982, Capricorn Rooster) : The Prince and Princess of Wales (William is heir to the throne in the UK) first met in 2001 while at university. They have been married since 2011 and have three children together. Speaking about their courtship, William has described: "When I was trying to impress Kate, I was trying to cook these amazing fancy dinners, and all that would happen was, I would burn something, something would overspill, something would catch on fire, and she'd be sitting in the background just trying to help and [then] taking control of the whole situation."

Carl Thomas Dean (7/20/1942, Cancer Horse), Dolly Parton (1/19/1946, Capricorn Rooster) : The country legend and business entrepreneur eloped in 1966 and have been married for over 50 years. Dean has famously avoided the spotlight. To celebrate their 50-year anniversary, the couple renewed their vows, as Parton explained: "It’s been a good 50 years and I don’t know how many more years we'll have left. If I had it to do all over, I'd do it all over again, and we did. I'm dragging him kicking and screaming into the next 50 years."

Mitchell Hope (6/27/1994, Cancer Dog), Dove Cameron (1/15/1996, Capricorn Pig) : The two actors formed a strong friendship when they co-starred in the Descendants series of movies (2015, 2017, and 2019). Cameron described in 2017: "[Mitchell's] a really sensitive human being and so am I. So when two people recognize a commonality, it’s like looking across the room at someone the first day of school and it’s like I see me in you and you see you in me...Mitchell and I were each others’ rocks in the first film. Then in the second film, we were inseparable. He’s like my best friend, my brother, best friend — which is why it’s so funny that we’re significant others in the film. But it creates this comfort-ability as actors where we get to really go there with each other. And I think that’s why there’s so much chemistry on screen, because I tell him everything! He’s like my best girlfriend, except he’s a guy. I spend every moment with him on set...Yeah, I laugh with him maybe more than anyone else."

Mary Stuart Masterson (6/28/1966, Cancer Horse), Jeremy Davidson (12/24/1971, Capricorn Pig) : The two actors have been married since 2006 and have four children together. They avoid attention and have settled in an unidentified small town, where they grow vegetables and keep bees. Masterson has described: "I had a lot of attention very young. It just became part of my norm to be unfindable, ungettable and private. I’ve always been such an individualist, and learning to have roots is something that’s coming to me later in life."

Oprah Winfrey (1/29/1954, Aquarius Snake), Maria Shriver (11/6/1955, Scorpio Sheep) : The iconic media personality Winfrey and journalist/author Shriver share a close friendship that has lasted over 40 years. In a joint interview in 2021, Winfrey described: "I cherish everything about [Shriver]. I cherish her frankness, I cherish her directness. I cherish her honesty. I cherish her truth. I cherish her sense of searching for the truth. I cherish her courage. Oh my God, Maria's gonna tell you the truth no matter damn what. Maria give it to you in your face and then say, 'And you know what I'm talking about! You already know what I'm saying is true.'" Shriver said, "[It's] the little moments...that's what I cherish [in our] friendship...There's so few people you can really talk to honestly, and that you feel safe [with], and when I walk out the door, I know nothing's going anywhere...In my darkest moments, [Winfrey] was right there, sitting right next to me, holding space."

Robert Downey Jr. (4/4/1965, Aries Snake), Mel Gibson (1/3/1956, Capricorn Sheep) : The two actors share a close and supportive bond. After Gibson attracted controversy on numerous fronts, Downey famously said at the 2011 American Cinematheque Award: "When I couldn’t get sober, [Gibson] told me not to give up hope...I couldn’t get hired, so he cast me in the lead of a movie that was actually developed for him and he kept a roof over my head, and he kept food on the table. And most importantly, he said that if I accepted responsibility for my wrongdoings...I would become a man of some humility and that my life would take on new meaning, and I did, and it worked. All he asked in return, was that, someday I helped the next guy in some small way. It is reasonable to assume that he didn’t think the next guy would be him, or that someday was tonight."

Taylor Swift (12/13/1989, Sagittarius Snake), Joe Alwyn (2/21/1991, Pisces Sheep) : The superstar singer/songwriter Swift and actor Alwyn shared a private romantic relationship from 2016 to 2023. Referencing his Grammy for contributions to Swift's album, Folklore (2020), which won Album of the Year in 2021, Alwyn described: "It wasn’t like, ‘It’s five o’clock, it’s time to try and write a song together.’ It came about from messing around on a piano, and singing badly, then being overheard, and being, like, ‘Let’s see what happens if we get to the end of it together.’ I mean fun is such a stupid word, but it was a lot of fun. And it was never a work thing, or a ‘Let’s try and do this because we’re going to put this out’ thing. It was just like baking sourdough in lockdown. The Grammy was obviously this ridiculous bonus."

Jessica Chastain (3/24/1977, Aries Snake), Oscar Isaac (3/9/1979, Pisces Sheep) : The two actors share a friendship extending over twenty years. Describing their collaboration in the series, Scenes from a Marriage (2021), Chastain described: "The blessing is that, at the end, we were feeling each other’s thoughts. There was no wall between us. We joke he’s my work husband. I could tell immediately if someone said something and it bothered him. At the beginning, we read episode four and I got emotional from reading it...He could see I was in a tough place where nobody else in the room could tell. That’s the curse part. Because I was like, Okay, I’m about to go on this journey with this scene partner who I can’t hide anything from. He’s like a microscope with me. It makes the work better but more terrifying because sometimes you want some space. You’re like, I don’t want you to be able to read my thoughts every moment."

Christopher Plummer (12/13/1929, Sagittarius Snake), Elaine Taylor (10/17/1943, Libra Sheep) : The two actors were married for 53 years until Plummer's death in 2021. Plummer described in 2008: "Elaine had now completed her role in the movie and was on her way back to London for yet another engagement — a busy and popular lady. I felt absolutely empty and as despondent as anyone could be. As she was leaving, I told her I was going to miss her dreadfully and hoped she would let me see her in London. ‘All right, but on one condition,’ she warned, ‘that you cut down on the booze.'"

Muhammad Ali (1/17/1942, Capricorn Snake), Joe Frazier (1/12/1944, Capricorn Sheep) : The two heavyweight boxing champions shared a complex supportive and challenging relationship for over 40 years. When Ali lost his world championship title and boxing licence for refusing to be drafted to Vietnam in 1970, Frazier provided financial and political support. Frazier described about that time, "We were friends, we were great friends...[Ali] was a brother." However, after Ali used racially-charged language to promote their famous fight, the "Thrilla in Manila", in 1975, Frazier refused to accept Ali's apologies and spoke cruelly about Ali's experiences with Parkinson's disease. Shortly before Frazier died in 2011, they reportedly reconciled, with Frazier saying, "It's just sad [about Ali's Parkinson's] because he's a great guy and I'm hoping that maybe he could live the kind of live that we live. I'd love to see him do that. Because he earned that."

Jean-Paul Sartre (6/21/1905, Cancer Snake), Simone de Beauvoir (1/9/1908, Capricorn Sheep) : The two French philosophers shared a lifelong relationship and romantic commitment, as well as profoundly influencing each other's ideas. They reportedly never lived together, and had an "open relationship" that was especially radical for their time. According to de Beauvoir, Sartre said, "What we have is an essential love; but it is a good idea for us also to experience contingent love affairs." She reflected about this: "We were two of a kind, and our relationship would endure as long as we did: but it could not make up entirely for the fleeting riches to be had from encounters with different people."
