Gemini Pig 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.

Greg Wise (5/15/1966, Taurus Horse), Emma Thompson (4/15/1959, Aries Pig) : The two actors have been in a relationship since 1995, and married in 2003. They have two children (one adopted). Thompson has described: "I think people in long, happy marriages tell a lot of fibs like ‘Yes, it’s been marvelous!’, whereas I say ‘No, sometimes it’s been awful’. I hope it carries on, but we don’t know. We say ‘Well, this is nice, isn’t it?’ We don’t take anything for granted."

Elissa Durwood Grodin (18 April 1954, Aries Horse), Charles Grodin (4/21/1935, Taurus Pig) : The actor/comedian/author and writer/journalist were married from 1983 until Grodin's death in 2021, and had two children. They met for the first time when Durwood interviewed Grodin in 1982, and at the end he famously proposed. Durwood described later: "[Grodin's] a help in every way. Above all, he's a good man. I have a happy life with him. He's been very helpful with career stuff. Supportive and full of goodness...You know what? I was expecting [him to propose]. I know it sounds weird, but there you go. We were star-crossed. We really hit it off. It was a deep connection...I just said yes. And a year later we were married. It's been fabulous. We've been married for thirty years."

Jerry Seinfeld (4/29/1954, Taurus Horse), Larry David (7/2/1947, Cancer Pig) : The two comedian/actor/writers famously co-created and collaborated for seven seasons on the hugely successful TV show, Seinfeld (1989-1998). According to the book by Jennifer Keishin Armstrong, Seinfeldia (2017), Seinfeld approached David for help while developing the show in 1988. In an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000- ), which consists of largely improvised dialogue, Seinfeld said to David, "How many years did we work together? We would get so tired, we spent so many hours together. We would divulge the most intimate details of our personal lives, right? [David: Right.] Like twins in a womb, right? That's how we did this show. [David: Right.]"

Samuel Beckett (4/13/1906, Aries Horse), Suzanne Dechevaux-Dumesnil (1/7/1900, Capricorn Pig) : The celebrated writer and pianist began an affair in the 1930s and married in 1961. They were died within months of each other in 1989, and are buried together in Paris. Professor of Drama at Trinity College Dublin, Nicholas Johnson, has described: "[Dechevaux-Dumesnil] is very under-represented in the scholarship about Beckett. Her impact on the work is absolutely enormous. Just in practical terms, it was Suzanne who goes to the publishers with his novels when they come back to Paris, so she acts like an agent really at a time when he doesn't seem capable of self-promotion. So I think she was probably quite forceful and functional in ways."

Aaliyah (1/16/1979, Capricorn Horse), Missy Elliott (7/1/1971, Cancer Pig) : The two singers were close friends and collaborators, with Elliott contributing more than half of the songs on Aaliyah's album, One in a Million (1996). Writing after Aaliyah's tragic death in a plane crash in 2001, Elliott described: "[It was like [Aaliyah] was my little sister. We would hang out, go shopping together, or she would come to my house or we’d hang out in the studio. Our relationship went beyond the work we did together. We felt we had created a new sound, but it wasn’t like we just did records and that was it. It was more of a family vibe than just work. We could tell each other anything."

Zoe Saldana (6/19/1978, Gemini Horse), Mila Kunis (8/14/1983, Leo Pig) : The two actors share a strong friendship, and have collaborated in the films, Get Over It (2001), After Sex (2007), and Blood Ties (2013). Speaking in 2018, at the ceremony for Soldana receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Kunis described: "When [Soldana] loves, she is all in. She’s all-in for her family, her friends and all-in for her work. I admire you as a person, a wife, a mother, a sister, a businesswoman and as an actress. While the world knows you for the characters you have played, I have the privilege of knowing the working mom behind the scenes...She is loud. Like, no joke, her superpower is volume. Walk into Zoe’s house and they are screaming, in English, in Spanish, in Italian. It is the loudest love you’ll ever receive in your life. The loudest love I’ve ever heard."
