Gemini Horse and Libra Monkey

Paul McCartney (6/18/1942, Gemini Horse), John Lennon (10/9/1940, Libra Dragon) : As founding members of The Beatles, the two musicians shared a close friendship, and formed perhaps the most famous songwriting partnership in history. In one of his last interviews, months before his assassination in 1980, Lennon described: "Well, you could say that [McCartney] provided a lightness, an optimism, while I would always go for the sadness, the discords, a certain bluesy edge...Paul had a lot of training, could play a lot of instruments. He'd say, 'Well, why don't you change that there? You've done that note 50 times in the song.' You know, I'll grab a note and ram it home. Then again, I'd be the one to figure out where to go with a song... a story that Paul would start. In a lot of the songs, my stuff is the middle-eight, the bridge...I always had an easier time with lyrics, though Paul is quite a capable lyricist who doesn't think he is... [A] lot of the songs we did eyeball to eyeball."

Cillian Murphy (5/25/1976, Gemini Dragon), Yvonne McGuinness (10/12/1972, Libra Rat) : The actor and artist have been married since 2004 and have two children together. Referring to the play and film Disco Pigs, which he starred in from 1996 to 2001, Murphy described: "That time, making Disco Pigs, was kind of the most important period of my life. The people I met there remain my closest friends...They shaped me in terms of my tastes, in terms of what I wanted to do with my life. And it was around the same time I met my wife. She came on tour with us. It was so exciting, 20 years ago or whatever it was – we were all just kids, trying to find our way – but such a special, special time."

Matthew Koma (6/2/1987, Gemini Rabbit), Hilary Duff (9/28/1987, Libra Rabbit) : The actor/singer Duff and singer/songwriter Koma have been together since 2016, and married in 2019. They have two children and share custody of Duff's child from a previous relationship. Duff posted in 2020, "Bubba, thanks for forcing me to go on that walk with you today (last year) I love you so much♥️...I will always choose sandwiches and 8 pm bedtimes over fancy date nights …. over and over again. My best friend, lover, and papa bear that cannot be rivaled…it’s always been you."

Laurie Metcalf (6/16/1955, Gemini Sheep), Zoe Perry (9/26/1984, Libra Rat) : The mother and daughter are actors who have also collaborated multiple times, including playing the same character at different ages in the show, Young Sheldon (2017-present). In a joint interview in 2018, Perry described: "For me, just thinking back to the first time we got to share a stage together when we did [The] Other Place [on Broadway, from December 2012 to March 2013] — it was such a lucky experience for me because I know what [Metcalf's] capable of. To get to rehearse with her and experience that side of it with her was just such a treat because she's such a pro and she's also really generous and she's also immensely respectful...I mean, you can't separate your own relationship, but she kind of managed to in a very loving way and I appreciated that." Metcalf said, "I also like the fact that Zoe and I are peers now in what we do...Now I have another peer in the family that I can turn to and get advice from."

Kathleen Turner (6/19/1954, Gemini Horse), Michael Douglas (9/25/1944, Libra Monkey) : The two actors displayed legendary chemistry when they appeared together in the films, Romancing the Stone (1984), The Jewel of the Nile (1985), and The War of the Roses (1989), and later the TV series, The Kominsky Method (2018-2021). In her memoir, Send Yourself Flowers (2008), Turner recalled about making Romancing the Stone: "For a time, I was sure I was falling in love with Michael. And I think he was falling in love with me. I was certainly inspired to portray [the character] Joan’s accelerated sexual awareness by working with Michael...[But] I saw that Michael wasn’t free to pursue another relationship. We couldn’t keep the romance. But we kept our friendship. Michael always says very nice things about me...as well he should. Michael and I did some very challenging scenes together. The mutual trust and the emotional connection we’ve always had enabled us to take on whatever hair-raising perils were necessary...Oh, yeah, there’s a little competition. Just a touch. Come on, wimp. Yeah. Oh, come on, Michael, I’ll do it. I’ll show you. But oh, God, the laughs."

Carmelo Anthony (5/29/1984, Gemini Rat), Kevin Durant (9/29/1988, Libra Dragon) : The two NBA basketball stars share a close friendship. Durant described in 2016: "[Anthony's] a real bro. That’s my guy. I’ve looked up to Carmelo since I was 15 years old. I wanted to be Carmelo. And once I got the opportunity to hang around him and get to know him a little deeper, coming into the Draft, I asked him for advice here and there and it just made things… it made the relationship even smoother." Anthony has said, "I’ve always heard that, from people back home...I’ve always heard that KD looked up to me. Now, I look at him as my peer. I don’t look at him as a guy who looked up to me. I respect that. It’s just hard, man, to see, to know, for me to fathom the fact that one of the greatest players in the world looks up to me, even now. It’s crazy — he looks up to me and I respect him and honor him, his game and his work ethic. That’s something that I appreciate about him."

Daniel Barenboim (11/15/1942, Scorpio Horse), Jacqueline du Pré (1/26/1945, Aquarius Monkey) : The celebrated classical musicians were married from 1967 until du Pré's death from multiple sclerosis (MS) in 1987. Their marriage attracted controversy, in part because Barenboim reportedly began a hidden family with his second wife (Elena Bashkirova) while du Pré was alive. Barenboim continues to raise money for MS research, and in 2017 described meeting du Pré: "There was chamber music being played and before we spoke we sat down to play together — we played a Brahms sonata — and understood each other musically, perfectly, and then outside of music too...She was [a unique musician,] not exactly very knowledgeable about things to do with music in a musicological or scientific way, but she had an uncanny instinct and quickness of brain that was mind-boggling. She would see a piece for the first time and she was able to not just play the notes but get to the essence of it."

Kevin Costner (1/18/1955, Capricorn Horse), Cindy Costner (10/29/1956, Scorpio Monkey) : The actor and actor/director met in college, before Kevin Costner began his acting career. They were married between 1978 and 1994, and had three children together. During the making of the Costner-directed Dances with Wolves, the two collaborated extensively behind the scenes. Their divorce settlement is one of the largest in Hollywood history. Shortly before their separation, Kevin said: "The temptations are pretty strong—and there’s a hungry world out there waiting for you to fall. So you can’t even dabble without paying a huge price. I try to conduct my life with a certain amount of dignity and discretion—but marriage is a hard, hard gig."

Swizz Beatz (9/13/1978, Virgo Horse), Alicia Keys (1/25/1981, Aquarius Monkey) : The record producer and musician have been married since 2010 and have two children. In 2021, Keys described: "I think one of the things we're really good at is giving each other the space that we need. That's not a hard thing for us. And even just being intuitive about what each other needs is also something that comes really fluid for us. We'll always check in and we're always making sure we're good."

Harrison Ford (7/13/1942, Cancer Horse), Carrie Fisher (10/21/1956, Libra Monkey) : The two actors shared one of the famous fictional relationships of all time as Princess Leia and Han Solo in the Star Wars movies. Shortly before her unexpected death in 2016, Fisher revealed in her memoir, The Princess Diarist, that they had an affair while making the first film in the series, when she was 19. She described contacting Ford prior to publication: "I said [to Ford], 'I found the journals that I kept during the first movie, and I’m probably going to publish them...I’ll show it to you before and you can take anything out that you want taken out. I don’t want to make you uncomfortable'...I wouldn’t have ambushed him like that, but it’s still – no matter if I told him or not, it probably feels like an ambush. It feels like an ambush to me, and I’m the one who wrote it." After Fisher died, Ford released a statement saying, "Carrie was one-of-a-kind, brilliant, original. Funny and emotionally fearless. She lived her life, bravely...We will all miss her."

Rachel McAdams (11/17/1978, Scorpio Horse), Ryan Gosling (11/12/1980, Scorpio Monkey) : The two actors starred together in The Notebook (2004). During filming, tension between the two led to Gosling asking for another actor to read McAdam's part. Director Nick Cassavetes retold: "[Gosling said,] 'Would you take her out of here and bring in another actress to read off camera with me?...I can’t. I can’t do it with her. I’m just not getting anything from this.'...We went into a room with a producer; they started screaming and yelling at each other...They had it out...I think Ryan respected her for standing up for her character and Rachel was happy to get that out in the open. The rest of the film wasn’t smooth sailing, but it was smoother sailing." Later the two actors dated for two years between 2005 and 2007, with Gosling saying at one point, "I mean, God bless The Notebook. It introduced me to one of the great loves of my life. But people do Rachel and me a disservice by assuming we were anything like the people in that movie. Rachel and my love story is a hell of a lot more romantic than that."

Ted Hughes (8/17/1930, Leo Horse), Sylvia Plath (10/27/1932, Scorpio Monkey) : The writers, two of the most celebrated poets of their generation, were married from 1956 until Plath's death by suicide in 1963. They had two children. The relationship remains controversial due to Hughes' infidelity and posthumous allegations of abuse, which Hughes has denied. Plath described about their courtship: "We kept writing poems to each other. Then it just grew out of that, I guess, a feeling that we both were writing so much and having such a fine time doing it, we decided that this should keep on."

Chris Evert (12/21/1954, Sagittarius Horse), Martina Navratilova (10/18/1956, Libra Monkey) : The two legendary tennis players shared one of the most celebrated rivalries in the history of sports, winning 18 grand slam titles each between 1973 and 1988. In 2020, Evert described their evolution from rivals to friendship: "In the beginning, I was beating her; I was practicing with her; we were playing doubles together. Then she started beating me, and I broke up the doubles, because I felt like I was getting too close. We went our own ways...It really wasn't until the end of our careers, maybe the last five years, that we got along well...Martina is definitely one of my closest friends right now. We have no competition. There's no tension in our relationship whatsoever. It's a freeing kind of a feeling. I can really enjoy her and her personality now and she can really enjoy me.
