Capricorn Ox and Pisces Monkey

Cheryl Howard (12/23/1953, Capricorn Snake), Ron Howard (3/1/1954, Pisces Horse) : The actor/director and actor met in high school. They have been married since 1975 and have four children. Howard has described: "People say, ‘How’d you do it?’ There’s no technique. There’s no tactic other than communication is really important. You have to learn to communicate and have difficult conversations in constructive ways. Beyond that, there’s an element of luck because people either grow together or they don’t and I don’t think you can force that."

Rod Stewart (1/10/1945, Capricorn Monkey), Penny Lancaster (3/15/1971, Pisces Pig) : The singer and model have been married for 14 years and have two children. Stewart has described: "Intimacy is the most important thing in a relationship. Don't take it for granted. I'm not talking about sex, but a kiss and a cuddle and a hold. Penny and I do that every morning. We hug each other — sometimes in bed, sometimes out of bed, all throughout the day. It's a wonderful relationship."

Cary Grant (1/18/1904, Capricorn Rabbit), Jennifer Grant (2/26/1966, Pisces Horse) : The two actors were father and daughter. At one time one of the most famous actors in the world, Cary Grant famously retired from acting in 1966, after Jennifer was born, to devote himself to her upbringing. In her book, Good Stuff: A Reminiscence of My Father, Cary Grant, Jennifer describes: "To me, [my father] was like a marvelous painting. All the art historians wish to break down the motives, and the scheme, and so on. I would rather know, as I do, his essence. I believe that at the heart of a person lies passion. For the last twenty years of his life, I was given the extraordinary privilege to experience the full, vital passion of his heart. Dad used the expression 'good stuff' to declare happiness or, as one of his friends put it, he said it when pleased with the nature of things. He said it a lot. He had a happy way of life. His life was 'good stuff.'"

Mary Tyler Moore (12/29/1936, Capricorn Rat), Bernadette Peters (2/28/1948, Pisces Rat) : The two actors were close friends before Moore's death in 2017. Together, they co-founded Broadway Barks, an annual dog and cat adoption event benefiting New York City animal shelters and adoption agencies. About vacationing together, Peters described: "Mary was always the planner. Mary was always the one who would say, ‘We wanna go to the Bahamas, and we're gonna swim with the dolphins.' She was the one that always came up with the ideas and the adventures and things to do. Life was precious to her, and she knew if she kept moving that was healthy for her."

Lewis Hamilton (1/7/1985, Capricorn Rat), Niki Lauda (2/22/1949, Pisces Ox) : The two Formula One world champions became close friends, after Lauda was instrumental in luring Hamilton to drive for his Mercedes team in 2013. Speaking after Lauda's death in 2019, Hamilton described: "I just so miss talking to the dude, I miss his texts, the videos we shared. I still have them. I’ve kept them and still revisit them. Without his support I probably wouldn’t have made the switch to come to this team...That’s what he was best at – support and being real...To have someone talking to the [Formula One] board who understands and empathises how difficult it is to deliver weekend after weekend, when you make a mistake. That is where he was such a great pillar for me...When he took his hat off [in salute to an achievement in the car] or he goes like this [the finger/thumb gesture indicating something very close to a skirting disaster limit], you knew it was real, that you’d really done something. I miss him a lot."

James Earl Jones (1/17/1931, Capricorn Horse), Cecilia Hart (2/19/1948, Pisces Rat) : The two actors were married from 1982 until Hart's death in 2016, and had one child together. Receiving a Lifetime Achievement award at the Tony awards in 2017, Jones said: "I want to thank my wife Ceci for being such a wonderful companion in my life and in my work. And for being the great coproducer of our son Flynn and for being so dazzling on the red carpet."

David Bowie (1/8/1947, Capricorn Dog), Lou Reed (3/2/1942, Pisces Horse) : The two legendary musicians were friends who collaborated multiple times, including when Bowie co-produced (with Mick Ronson) Reed's landmark album, Transformer. Reed described in 2004: "How can I remember my first impression of David Bowie? That’s really… [smiles] Okay… I mean, David and I are friends to this day. He’s very smart and very, very talented, and I met him in New York and thought, ‘This guy would be a fun guy to work with; we could really bring something to the dance.’"

Eddie Murphy (4/3/1961, Aries Ox), Arsenio Hall (2/12/1956, Aquarius Monkey) : The two actors/entertainers and friends famously co-starred in Coming to America (1988) and Coming to America 2 (2021). Hall is godfather to Murphy's eldest daughter, and in 2021 led Murphy's induction into the NAACP Hall of Fame. Asked on Jimmy Kimmel Live! about the times Murphy appeared as a guest on The Arsenio Hall Show (1989-1993), Murphy said: "If you’ve ever seen those old interviews, look at them, we'd just be laughing…I think they actually did, on [TV show] Living Color, they might have even made a joke about how when we're in an interview it's just like us laughing and inside stuff…screaming and falling out." Hall added: "One time I'm interviewing him and we actually forgot the whole segment, and the clip and everything, and brought on his Uncle Ray."

Anthony Hopkins (12/31/1937, Capricorn Ox), Stella Arroyave (3/20/1956, Pisces Monkey) : The actor and antiques dealer have been married since 2003. Hopkins has said: "She met me ten years ago when I was shut down...Not trusting anyone. Certainly not trusting women...Everyday she wakes up happy. She's very positive about everything. I learnt from her just to take life as it comes."

Richard Burton (11/10/1925, Scorpio Ox), Elizabeth Taylor (2/27/1932, Pisces Monkey) : The two Hollywood legends made 11 movies together and shared one of the most well-known and turbulent relationships of all time, including being married and divorced twice. Taylor described in 1973: "When you are in love and lust like that, you just grab it with both hands and ride out the storm."

Sigourney Weaver (10/8/1949, Libra Ox), Jim Simpson (2/21/1956, Pisces Monkey) : The actor and director have been married since 1984 and have a daughter together. Weaver has described: "I’ve always believed what they say in the psychology magazines—that whatever is wrong with your current relationship, you’ll re-experience it in the next one. So why not stick with this great guy who you found and work things out with him?"

Kate Beckinsale (7/26/1973, Leo Ox), Michael Sheen (2/5/1969, Aquarius Monkey) : The two actors were together for seven years from 1995 to 2002 and have a daughter together. They have remained close since their separation. Beckinsale has commented: "I really love him and like him and we make each other roar with laughter."
