Cancer Tiger and Aquarius Rooster

Nancy Reagan (7/6/1921, Cancer Rooster), Ronald Reagan (2/6/1911, Aquarius Pig) : The 40th U.S. President and First Lady were married from 1952 until his death in 2004. They had two children, and Nancy Reagan was stepmother to Ronald's two children from a previous marriage. President Reagan's chief political strategist once described: "[They were an] inseparable team politically and personally. He would never have been governor without her. He would never have been president without her."

Elizabeth Warren (6/22/1949, Cancer Ox), Ayanna Pressley (2/3/1974, Aquarius Tiger) : Congresswoman Pressley and Senator Warren are longtime Democratic political allies in the US—Pressley was the sole member of the so-called progressive liberal "squad" to endorse Warren for President ahead of the 2020 presidential election.

Tom Cruise (7/3/1962, Cancer Tiger), Mimi Rogers (1/27/1956, Aquarius Sheep) : The two actors were married between 1987 and 1990. Cruise told Rolling Stone shortly before their break-up: "Since I’ve been with [Rogers], it’s opened me up a lot. I think it’s helped me be a better actor. We live a lot of life together. We share everything. That’s the best thing about life. Otherwise you go through it pretty sad and lonely and angry."

Billy Wilder (6/22/1906, Cancer Horse), Jack Lemmon (2/8/1925, Aquarius Ox) : The actor and director shared a legendary collaboration that resulted in seven films, including Some Like it Hot and The Apartment. Lemmon described: "Another thing I loved about The Apartment...was the fact that there were so many faults with the characters. Billy was never afraid. As a matter of fact, he would seemingly go out of his way to manifest the faults within characters because we all are faulted."

Selena Gomez (7/22/1992, Cancer Monkey), The Weeknd (2/16/1990, Aquarius Horse) : These two successful singer/songwriter/producers shared a high-profile relationship in 2017. Asked about The Weeknd influencing her music during their relationship, Gomez described: "No, I think for me I like to keep that really separate...I think it's so important and I spent so much time making sure that everything that I do, I do for myself. So as much as that has been inspiring because I love to be inspired by people that I do love and care about, but I'm a big advocate on making sure that I'm doing it for me. Because the moment I start doing something because I'm influenced by someone else, whoever it may be, it just doesn't work out so believe it or not, I keep that very, very separate, which is good."

Royce da 5'9 (7/8/1977, Cancer Snake), Dr. Dre (2/18/1965, Aquarius Snake) : The two rappers have shared a mentoring friendship. In 1999, then newcomer Royce da 5'9 contributed to Dr. Dre's classic album, 2001, writing lyrics for the future classic closing track, "The Message". Royce said later, "Dre was open to trying anything to see how it works...He never said nothing that f'ed with my confidence. I remember being out there for a couple days, by the time it was day two, I wasn’t even nervous about writing no more."

Jodie Foster (11/19/1962, Scorpio Tiger), Alexandra Hedison (7/10/1969, Cancer Rooster) : The actor and photographer have been married since 2014. Though the couple are famously private, after Foster was nominated for a Golden Globe for The Mauritanian (2021), Hedison posted a photo with the caption: "What happens in quarantine stays in quarantine. Every day I'm a proud wife but today you get a special shout out in the remote land of [Instagram]...I'll have to show you my phone for you to see this but still...I'm shouting from the rooftops."

Rebecca Miller (9/15/1962, Virgo Tiger), Daniel Day-Lewis (4/29/1957, Taurus Rooster) : The actor and filmmaker/novelist have been married since 1996 and have two children. Though they have rarely discussed their relationship publicly, Miller mentioned in a 2018 interview that she had refused to allow the famously method-acting Day-Lewis to stay in character at home: "I was just like, 'That’s not going to happen.' It’s good to at least maintain one personality for your child." She also referred to a recent trip to their home in Ireland: "[W]e went and got hot whiskeys in a pub in Ireland. And we walked up a mountain and then we got our hot whiskeys and then we got our scones with cream. That’s the kind of thing of just simplicity and fun."

Miles Davis (5/26/1926, Gemini Tiger), Quincy Jones (3/14/1933, Pisces Rooster) : The jazz icon and music producer were longtime friends who collaborated on Davis' final live performance, later released as Miles & Quincy Live at Montreux (1993). The concert marked the first and only time Davis ever revisited music from his back catalogue. Jones described: "I had been trying for 15 years to get him to do that. I've known Miles all my life, we were close friends; I was there in the recording session in 1958 when they did Miles Ahead (1958) with Gil Evans conducting—it was amazing. I said, 'Dewey, this one we've got to do a tribute to.' We kept talking and talking, we were at his home in Central Park West—he was upstairs with Flavor Flav putting an album together—he says 'man this [project] is going to be expensive... and it's hard to play.' Finally, I got him to say yes—I know Miles—and it was fantastic. Man, he played very softly, with no vibrato or anything. That night, I waved and said 'Miles Davis' [to the crowd] and he waved his towel at this audience—I've never seen him do that before—and he growled 'screw you' at me."

Mel Brooks (6/28/1926, Cancer Tiger), David Lynch (1/20/1946, Aquarius Rooster) : The producer and director formed a famously unlikely partnership when they collaborated to make Lynch's script into the award-winning film, The Elephant Man (1980). Speaking about an early meeting, Brooks described: "I wasn't expecting [Lynch] to be so polite, but I was rather impressed. He made sense and was very savvy about the changes he wanted. It was a problem: how does a guy who is known for the best fart jokes in cinema go on to make The Elephant Man? I had all along the line assiduously kept my name from the project. But after this one conversation, David knew I had more to me. I guess it was the outsider aspect that appealed to him. And that's where I think we met, mentally." Lynch said later: "[Brooks] backed me in ways you can’t imagine — people wanted to change this, do this, give me all kinds of hell — never would Mel let it happen...It put me on the map, it was a great experience…it was just a blessing!"

Queen Elizabeth II (4/21/1926, Taurus Tiger), Prince Philip (6/10/1921, Gemini Rooster) : The Queen and Prince Philip were married for 73 years until his death in 2021. According to a report in The Guardian, published when their engagement was announced in 1947: "It is clearly a marriage of choice, not of arrangement...There have been many royal engagements in the past, but it would be hard to find a precise parallel for that of an Heiress Presumptive and still more for her choice as partner of one who is, technically at least, a British commoner."

Marilyn Monroe (6/1/1926, Gemini Tiger), Yves Montand (10/13/1921, Libra Rooster) : The two actors had a well-publicized affair during the making of one of Monroe's last films, Let's Make Love (1960). Montand later described: "[Marilyn] had an immense character, an extremely strong nature—even though, in life as on the screen, she had that little girl voice. The fascination she exercised and her seductive power were present almost without her knowing it...She had no need to check the seam of her stocking to give you ideas: when she talked about the rain or the fine weather or the cafeteria menu, she had the same power...Marilyn was a being apart, in the sense that it was her own inner light that drove her into the spotlight. If you believed in God you’d say that God alone could generate such a light—a light beyond the control of those it burns in."
