Gemini Monkey and Virgo Horse

Carey Mulligan (5/28/1985, Gemini Ox), Zoe Kazan (9/9/1983, Virgo Pig) : Actor Mulligan and writer/actor Kazan are friends who have collaborated on the films, Wildlife (2018), and She Said (2022). Speaking about She Said in 2022, Kazan described: "I think one of the really beautiful things about getting to have a friendship that can also be a working partnership for so long is that you get to appreciate your friend in a whole new way. And the way that Carey conducts herself, the way that she goes into every scene, Carey’s instincts were so unerring on this from the start, and there were so many times when I felt like I have no idea how to approach the scene and talking it through with Carey helped open the door for me. I just felt so lucky every day to get to look into her eyes and have this truth barometer here."

Helena Bonham Carter (5/26/1966, Gemini Horse), Tim Burton (8/25/1958, Virgo Dog) : Actor Bonham Carter and film director Burton were together as a couple for 14 years, and have two children. They collaborated on films including, Corpse Bride (2005), Charlie And The Chocolate Factory (2005), Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (2007), Alice In Wonderland (2010), Dark Shadows (2012), and Alice Through The Looking Glass (2016). They famously lived next door to one another in London during their relationship. Bonham Carter said in 2020, "I never got a free ride with Tim because I was sleeping with him. I was always auditioning. And I gave him two kids and everything!...[About the break-up,] I will say this in the positive sense: I do think there’s a point where people fit for a certain time, sometimes, and if you can, you recognise that you’ve given what you can, and you’re going to stop each other from evolving, and if you can afford it, well…I was reluctant at first, let’s say."

Jerry West (5/28/1938, Gemini Tiger), Kobe Bryant (8/23/1978, Virgo Horse) : Basketball executive and former player/coach West played a key role in drafting Bryant to the LA Lakers, where Bryant became one of the all time legends of US professional sports before his tragic death in 2020. West has spoken of the close bond that developed between them, saying he "loved [Bryant] like a son, I admired his talent." According to West, trash talk was central to their friendship: "We had some unbelievable conversations. I used to tell [Bryant] you foul too much, and you would be out of the game in no time if you are guarding me. I asked him if he's the Black Mamba, and he said yes. I said I'm a mongoose, and they kill every black mamba, and you can look it at Youtube seeing these things fighting, and mongoose wins every time. He said I'm not an ordinary black mamba, and I said I'm not an ordinary mongoose either."

Hit-Boy (5/21/1987, Gemini Rabbit), Nas (9/14/1973, Virgo Ox) : Legendary rapper Nas and singer/songwriter/producer/rapper Hit-Boy share a close and collaborative relationship, with Hit-Boy having produced Nas' last four consecutive albums: King's Disease (2020), King's Disease II (2021), Magic (2021), and King's Disease III (2022). Hit-Boy described in 2020: "We were gelling. I had multiple ideas I set to the side: some beats, some hook ideas. [Nas] was open and in a creative zone. He was ready to hear this s—, ready to build on it. Everything I was playing, he’s having his input and we turned it into something....After the first two or three sessions, [we decided to make the whole King's Disease project]. We’re like, 'Nah this s— gotta be an album, everything we’re making sounds crazy.'...[The pandemic] happened, so it gave us time to really dive into it more: make the production better, make the lyrics better. He took his time with certain verses, it turned into this moment." Nas said in 2021, "I try to make my rhymes count. I try to be very intentional with my words. If I’m thinking too into it, too close to the idea, Hit-Boy is good at bringing me back and giving me ideas and moving me into a new direction. It’s a real collaboration."

Amanda Pays (6/6/1959, Gemini Pig), Corbin Bernsen (9/7/1954, Virgo Horse) : The two actors have been married since 1988, and have four children. In addition to working together on screen—they have acted together in films including, I Know My Son is Alive (1994), Spacejacked (1997), The Santa Trap (2002), and Mary 4 Mayor (2020)—they also collaborate in real estate ventures, and as at 2017 had "flipped" 23 homes. Bernsen described: "When we first got together, I had just finished renovating my first home, purchased during 'L.A. Law.' Amanda walked in the door and immediately said, 'Nice, but everything has to go!' She had her own ideas — great ideas — and being so in love and trusting her, I said, 'Have at it!' She deconstructed all that I had just done, and the result was beautiful. To some degree, we’ve both done this 'yielding' with subsequent homes, respecting each other’s vision."

Ian Fleming (5/28/1908, Gemini Monkey), Sean Connery (8/25/1930, Virgo Horse) : The author Fleming, creator of the iconic fictional secret agent, James Bond, famously did not approve of actor Sean Connery being cast in the role. Fleming once said: "I wanted Bond to be an extremely dull, uninteresting man to whom things happened." Connery said later, "I never got introduced to Fleming until I was well into the movie but I know he was not happy with me as the choice. What was it he called me, or told somebody? That I was an over-developed stunt man. He never said it to me. When I did eventually meet him he was very interesting, erudite and a snob – a real snob. But his company was very good for a limited time for me." Fleming eventually warmed to Connery, even giving the character of Bond Scottish ancestry in later books.

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.
