Leo Horse and Capricorn Dog

Barack Obama (8/4/1961, Leo Ox), Michelle Obama (1/17/1964, Capricorn Rabbit) : The 44th US President and First Lady have been married since 1992 and have two children. In 2017, Michelle Obama described: "I loved the life we had built for our girls. I deeply loved the man I had built that life with…and I didn’t want that to change if he became president. I loved Barack just the way he was. You see, even though back then Barack was a senator and a presidential candidate…to me, he was still the guy who’d picked me up for our dates in a car that was so rusted out I could actually see the pavement going by through a hole in the passenger side door. He was the guy whose proudest possession was a coffee table he’d found in a dumpster, and whose only pair of decent shoes was half a size too small."

Helen Mirren (7/26/1945, Leo Rooster), Taylor Hackford (12/31/1944, Capricorn Monkey) : The actor and director have been married since 1997. Mirren has described: "A really important part of love is to maintain your own sense of identity. In a way, that's the most important thing of all, to not subsume yourself into someone else, far from it. Be honestly and authentically who you are...It's work. And it's very important to allow the person you love to be who they are — even if [sometimes] you don't like it very much."

John Huston (8/5/1906, Leo Horse), Ava Gardner (12/24/1922, Capricorn Dog) : The actor and director became lifelong friends after they worked together on The Night of the Iguana (1964). Gardner described: "I have only one rule in acting—trust the director and give him heart and soul. And the director I trusted most of all was John Huston. Working with him gave me the only real joy I’ve ever had in movies…[Huston] felt the character, especially the way I played her, was warmer, more human, a better person than [writer] Tennessee [Williams’] original ending allowed, and he had the scene rewritten to emphasize that point. Tennessee was never happy with that, but anyone seeing the film knows that John’s choice was the only one that fit."

David O. Russell (8/20/1958, Leo Dog), Bradley Cooper (1/5/1975, Capricorn Tiger) : The director and actor famously collaborated (with Jennifer Lawrence) on three consecutive award-winning films: Silver Linings Playbook (2012), American Hustle (2013), and Joy (2015). Cooper described: "Now [Russell's] like my brother. That's not just because he's here, or because we're doing this interview. It's just the truth. I love working with David so much. Every day, I remind myself, 'You get to work with the greatest director around. And he asks you to collaborate with him.' There are times when you realize you're threading the needle in a beautiful way, which happened a lot with Richie DiMaso [the character Cooper played in American Hustle]. I love that character so much."

James Baldwin (8/2/1924, Leo Rat), Martin Luther King Jr. (1/15/1929, Capricorn Dragon) : The writer and civil rights leader shared a mutually admiring relationship. In 1961, King wrote Baldwin: "Your analysis of the [race relations] problem is always creative and penetrating. Your honesty and courage in telling the truth to white Americans, even if it hurts, is most impressive." Baldwin described in a 1961 essay: "[T]he Reverend King is not like any preacher I have ever met before. For one thing, to state it baldly, I liked him. It is rare that one likes a world-famous man—by the time they become world-famous they rarely like themselves, which may account for this antipathy. Yet King is immediately and tremendously winning, there is really no other word for it...[T]he fact that King really loves the people he represents and has—therefore—no hidden, interior need to hate the white people who oppose him has had and will, I think, continue to have the most far-reaching and unpredictable repercussions on our racial situation."

Jon Favreau (10/19/1966, Libra Horse), Vince Vaughn (3/28/1970, Aries Dog) : The actor/film-maker are close friends who have shared many notable collaborations, including Swingers (1996), Made (2001), Couples Retreat (2009), and The Break-Up (2006). Swingers, which proved the catalyst for both actors' successes, was written by Favreau as an exaggerated version of the pair's life as best friends and struggling actors. In an interview with one another about The Break-Up, Favreau described: "You dug my sense of humor, and I knew you'd be open to things, you'd be open to them, and I knew that if we were going to improvise together that, you know, it's like two musicians who have played a lot together, our rhythms sort of compliment each other, and so, I didn't have any of the responsibilities to worry about like in Swingers or Made where I was trying to keep a lot of stuff in my head I was able to just come in, and have a lot of fun."

George W. Bush (7/6/1946, Cancer Dog), Condoleezza Rice (11/14/1954, Scorpio Horse) : The former US President appointed diplomat/political scientist Rice as National Security Advisor (2001-2005) and Secretary of State (2005-2009). After the 2020 election, Bush disclosed that he had written in Rice's name on his ballot paper.

Nelson Mandela (7/18/1918, Cancer Horse), Bill Clinton (8/19/1946, Leo Dog) : The anti-apartheid activist and politician developed a close friendship during their respective presidencies of South Africa and the US. Professor Haroon Bhorat of the University of Cape Town has described: "There’s a very, very rich history and bridge that exists between South Africa and the US. If you wanted the jewel in the crown, so to speak, that would be the Mandela-Clinton relationship."

Laura Silverman (6/10/1966, Gemini Horse), Sarah Silverman (12/1/1970, Sagittarius Dog) : The two sisters are actors who have collaborated extensively. On The Sarah Silverman Program (2007-2010), real-life older sister Laura played Sarah's younger sibling. Laura described in 2007, "[Working together is] totally fun, we get along really well in general and love to make each other laugh so it's perfect, and we're kind of a huggy family so it's nice to have each other there for support, too. We're also so different in our acting styles, and big fans of each other's work, so there's no competition or anything."

Margot Robbie (7/2/1990, Cancer Horse), Saoirse Ronan (4/12/1994, Aries Dog) : The two actors became friends when the co-starred in the film, Mary Queen of Scots (2018). In a joint interview, Ronan was asked how she reacted when the two were cast together: "I was so excited, because — and I’ve told you this before, anyway — Margot and I met about a year and a half before we did the film together, and I always thought you were brilliant and fearless as an actor. Every single role you take on is completely different, and you can tell you just go for it — like we were saying, you’re like, 'Well, I’m in it now, so I’m just going to go for it.' But being able to share this with someone who is not only really, really nice, but is really, really normal like you are is really amazing. So well done."

Eboni Nichols (5/12/1978, Taurus Horse), Queen Latifah (3/18/1970, Pisces Dog) : While actor/musician Latifah is famously shy about her private life, it is widely believed that she is in a relationship with Nichols and that the two adopted a son, Rebel, together in 2019. At the BET Awards in 2021, she closed her acceptance speech: "Eboni, my love. Rebel, my love. Happy Pride!"
