Capricorn Rabbit and Aquarius Monkey

Edward Burns (1/29/1968, Aquarius Sheep), Christy Turlington Burns (1/2/1969, Capricorn Monkey) : The actor/director and supermodel married in 2003, and have two children. Christy Turlington wrote in 2011, "From the moment I became pregnant, Eddie supported all of my maternal instincts in pursuing our birth options. He was as involved as I needed him to be and then when our children were infants, he took on as much of the burden as I was willing to relinquish. These were not always harmonious periods of time for us as a couple; let’s face it, as joyous as becoming a parent is, it is challenging for every one of us on some level. But we have come out as great friends and true partners and our kids will hopefully grow up remembering their parents as a team."

Nicolas Cage (1/7/1964, Capricorn Rabbit), Lisa Marie Presley (2/1/1968, Aquarius Monkey) : Academy award-winning actor Cage and singer/songwriter Presley, who were married from 2002 to 2004, were for a time one of the highest-profile celebrity couples in the world. Presley recounted later: "[I]t was one of those things where you're marrying hoping that you're going to either stabilize it or it's going to, you know, accentuate all that was going on prior to what was problematic. So it kind of did the latter, that's all."

Philip Glass (1/31/1937, Aquarius Rat), David Bowie (1/8/1947, Capricorn Dog) : The celebrated contemporary classical composer Glass wrote two symphonies based on the Low (1977) and Heroes (1977) albums by his friend, the rock superstar Bowie. Glass described, "We lived close to each other in New York. There were periods when we saw each other a lot and other periods when we didn’t – I never knew exactly where he was or where he was going to be and sometimes we didn’t see each other for years, but we were always in touch and talked about how things were going . He was an extremely gifted and interesting person and musician. We had both a friendship and a working relationship."

Neil Diamond (1/24/1941, Aquarius Dragon), Elvis Presley (1/8/1935, Capricorn Dog) : Singer Neil Diamond's classic hit, "Sweet Caroline" (1969) became a mainstay of Presley's live performances during the 1970s. Recalling a time he declined an invitation to join the King on stage, Diamond explained: "You know I thought about it over the years, what would I do, what songs would we do, and it's not a good idea to come up and sing with another performer when it's their show and it's their band, I do know that. And I'm glad I didn't because I don't think it would have been a good idea to touch that, you know, the hem of the god. He was amazing. He was warm and very generous to me, and I think it's best left at that."

Carla Bruni (12/23/1967, Capricorn Sheep), Nicolas Sarkozy (1/28/1955, Aquarius Sheep) : The former President of France (2007-2012) and former supermodel married during his presidency in 2008. They have one child. In 2020, Bruni attributed the success of the relationship to: "[Equality and balance from the beginning, and]...good timing. Twenty years ago, [Sarkozy] would have needed a woman who was more devoted to him. And I would never have taken a man who has such a strong, dominating temper. But we met when we were strong enough for each other."

Mary Steenburgen (2/8/1953, Aquarius Dragon), Ted Danson (12/29/1947, Capricorn Pig) : The two accomplished actors have been married since 1995. They had both been previously married and divorced when they co-starred in the film, Pontiac Moon (1994). Recounting a scene where they canoed together, Danson explained: "We paddled in sync...We went out as friends and by the time we came back, we were in love... Ironic how life works in those moments. Once you throw up your arms and surrender, a lot of times things come your way."

Mark Hamill (9/25/1951, Libra Rabbit), Carrie Fisher (10/21/1956, Libra Monkey) : The two actors became Hollywood royalty after appearing as Luke and Leia in the original Star Wars trilogy, and they developed a lasting friendship. Hamill described: "I wasn’t her best friend – she had so many friends and I’d go to parties with her and I would be the only one there I’d never heard of. But there was a comfort level that we’d achieved because she knew I wasn’t ever angling for a favour or trying to get her to introduce me to this agent or this director. We became like real siblings over the years."

Rick Rubin (3/10/1963, Pisces Rabbit), Johnny Cash (2/26/1932, Pisces Monkey) : The music producer and country music icon collaborated on the bare-bones acoustic American Recordings series in the 1990s/2000, which led to a significant late-career revival for Cash. Rubin described: "[Cash] didn’t know who I was, but he wanted to understand why I would want to work with him because why would anyone want to work with him? In his mind, he was done. I didn’t convince him. We just sat and talked for a while, and I said, ‘Well, let’s just sit down and play me songs you love, and we’ll figure out what to do.’ He sat in my living room and he just started playing me these songs, most of which I had never heard, old country songs, or old folk songs, and it was magnificent."

Brad Pitt (12/18/1963, Sagittarius Rabbit), Jennifer Aniston (2/11/1969, Aquarius Monkey) : The two actors shared one of the most famous marriages in the world between 2000 and 2005—then one of the most famous break-ups, as Pitt began another high-profile relationship with Angelina Jolie shortly afterwards. Asked about Pitt and Jolie appearing in a 60-page photo-spread within months of her own divorce, Aniston described: "I can also imagine Brad having absolutely no clue why people would be appalled by it. Brad is not mean-spirited; he would never intentionally try to rub something in my face. In hindsight, I can see him going, 'Oh—I can see that that was inconsiderate.' But I know Brad. Brad would say, 'That’s art!'. There’s a sensitivity chip that’s missing." Fifteen years later, after the two were photographed chatting amiably in 2020, Aniston commented: "You know, Brad and I are buddies. Like, we're friends and we speak."

Nicolas Cage (1/7/1964, Capricorn Rabbit), Patricia Arquette (4/8/1968, Aries Monkey) : The two actors were married from 1995 to 2001. When Cage initially pursued Arquette in the 1980s, he reportedly asked her to provide a list of valuables he could obtain to prove his devotion—including a J.D. Salinger signature and a "black orchid"—many of which he provided. Nearly a decade later, they encountered one another again and were married within two weeks.

Whitney Houston (8/9/1963, Leo Rabbit), Alicia Keys (1/25/1981, Aquarius Monkey) : The two singers were close friends, with Houston acting as a mentor for Keys over many years. Speaking at Houston's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020, Keys described their relationship as, "A beautiful friendship that was so genuine, and so sincere. We were kindred spirits and instant sisters." Keys recounted: "When I first met [Houston]...I was still in awe of this crazy world I was newly welcomed into, and she marched right up to me, and she said, 'You are gonna write a song for me.' I couldn’t believe it! Had the greatest voice of all time just demanded that of little ole me? I was shocked and completely overjoyed, and slightly scared."
