Compatibility
Leo Rabbit and Scorpio Dragon

James Cameron (8/16/1954, Leo Horse), Gale Anne Hurd (10/25/1955, Scorpio Sheep) : Film director Cameron and producer Hurd shared a noteworthy collaborative relationship, and were married from 1985 to 1989. Before their marriage, they worked on The Terminator (1984), for which they also both wrote the script. They made Aliens (1986) while they were together, and The Abyss (1989) and Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) during and after their break-up. Cameron described in 1986: "We don’t always get along. There’s always creative dialog. I know this movie [Aliens] would not have been possible to do, as you saw it, within the budget parameters, if we hadn’t made such a good team. I never could have done it with another producer who wasn’t backing me 100%. And I don’t think Gale could have done it with another director, who was trying to achieve something at the expense of schedule and production costs."

Donnie Wahlberg (8/17/1969, Leo Rooster), Jenny McCarthy (11/1/1972, Scorpio Rat) : Singer/songwriter/actor/producer Wahlberg and actor/model/meda personality McCarthy have been married since 2014. McCarthy said in 2021, "Even Prince Charming and the fairy tale doesn’t come without work. I loved him so much as soon as I met him, I was like, ‘How do I not mess this up? I’m going to ask him, before we even have our first fight, if we can go to therapy together.'"

Melinda French Gates (8/15/1964, Leo Dragon), Bill Gates (10/28/1955, Scorpio Sheep) : Microsoft founder Bill Gates and computer scientist/philanthropist Melinda Gates met in 1987, and were married from 1994 to 2021. They have three children. Their charitable foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, was the second largest charitable organization in the world in 2020. In 2019, Melinda Gates said, "I think people have a certain view of Bill, because he was a high-charging CEO running Microsoft. I think people must think, 'Oh well, Melinda must not really have equality with Bill.' Actually, I have total equality with Bill. But it took a while for us to get there." Around the same time, Bill was quoted as saying, "Working together as well as raising a family together, there’s a certain intensity to that. But we’re very lucky because we mostly see things the same way, the goals are very much the same."

Merritt Wever (8/11/1980, Leo Monkey), Toni Collette (11/1/1972, Scorpio Rat) : The two actors formed a close connection when they collaborated on the successful and award-winning miniseries, Unbelievable (2019). Collette described, "[Our rapport] was very easy and just felt natural, you know? We didn't have to reach too far to make it feel authentic...it is [a] really important story, and I think every human should watch it." Wever said, "[Collette is] someone whose body of work is part of my artistic makeup and DNA...I actually accidentally quoted Muriel’s Wedding to her face one day, and thought she was gonna think I was the biggest dork. Instead, she received it with like, great affection and forgiveness and patience. I got to tell Muriel, 'You’re terrible, Muriel.' And you know what? There aren’t too many people in the world who can say that, so I’ll take it..."

David Crosby (8/14/1941, Leo Snake), Neil Young (11/12/1945, Scorpio Rooster) : The two musicians formed part of the on-again, off-again supergroup, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Their album, Déjà Vu (1970), remains the most successful for each of the four members. Young and Crosby shared a famously at times fraught relationship. In 2014, Crosby described Young's partner Daryl Hannah as, "a purely poisonous predator." Young responded, "I wish [Crosby] the best with his life. There’s love there. There’s just nothing else there." After Crosby died in early 2023, Young wrote: "David’s voice and energy were at the heart of our band. His great songs stood for what we believed in and it was always fun and exciting when we got to play together...We had so many great times, especially in the early years. Crosby was a very supportive friend in my early life, as we bit off big pieces of our experience together. David was the catalyst of many things."

Arnold Schwarzenegger (7/30/1947, Leo Pig), Lou Ferrigno (11/9/1951, Scorpio Rabbit) : The two bodybuilders shared an iconic rivalry, recorded in the cult classic documentary film, Pumping Iron (1977). The film is famous in part for showcasing Schwarzenegger's legendary "psych-out" tactics against Ferrigno. Ferrigno said later, "My only regret was that I was planning and hoped to reach my full potential and beat Arnold because he was five years older, but I never got that chance...The way I look at it, it didn’t matter if I won, [it] didn’t matter if I lost. It was all about reaching out to the mainstream and educating the public on what bodybuilding really is." Pumping Iron is generally credited with having springboarded both Ferrigno and Schwarzenegger to highly successful and lucrative careers in Hollywood.

Mikhail Khodorkovsky (6/26/1963, Cancer Rabbit), Vladimir Putin (10/7/1952, Libra Dragon) : The exiled businessman, once reputedly the richest individual in Russia, has had one of the most famous political feuds in history with the Russian President. Commentator Masha Gessen wrote in 2012, "At the root of the conflict between Putin and Khodorkovsky lies a basic difference in character. Putin rarely says what he means and even less frequently trusts that others are saying what they mean. Khodorkovsky, in contrast, seems to have always taken himself and others at face value."

50 Cent (7/6/1975, Cancer Rabbit), Ja Rule (2/29/1976, Pisces Dragon) : A feud between the two rappers has been described as one of the longest-running in Hip-Hop history. In 2018, 50 Cent claimed to have bought the first 200 tickets at a Ja Rule concert, so there would be empty seats in the front row.

Beverly D'Angelo (11/15/1951, Scorpio Rabbit), Al Pacino (4/25/1940, Taurus Dragon) : The two actors were in a relationship from the late 1990s until 2003, and D'Angelo gave birth to twins in 2001. D'Angelo described: "I got pregnant at 48, delivered six weeks after I was 49, and by 51, I was looking at a landscape as a single parent." An acrimonious custody dispute followed. More recently, however, D'Angelo has said positively: "You have to accept differences and all the things that led to a break-up in a way that allows you to move forward. And out of my support system and people I know and love, I’ve created [in Pacino] the ideal (parenting) partner."

Quentin Tarantino (3/27/1963, Aries Rabbit), Harvey Weinstein (3/19/1952, Pisces Dragon) : The director and producer were longtime collaborators before Weinstein's imprisonment as a sex offender. In the wake of the allegations against Weinstein, Tarantino said: "There was more to it than just the normal rumors, the normal gossip. It wasn’t secondhand. I knew he did a couple of these things. I wish I had taken responsibility for what I heard. If I had done the work I should have done then, I would have had to not work with him."

Sarah Palin (2/11/1964, Aquarius Rabbit), Todd Palin (9/6/1964, Virgo Dragon) : The US politician (including 2008 Republican nominee for Vice President) and oil field production operator were married for 30 years until 2020 and had five children together. Despite years of tabloid speculation, the marriage appeared strong until Todd Palin reportedly filed for divorce on his 55th birthday in 2019, citing "incompatibility of temperament". Sarah Palin learnt of the divorce filing in an email she received a week after their 31st wedding anniversary. She later described: "It's not easy to talk about. It was devastating. I thought I got shot."

Johnny Depp (6/9/1963, Gemini Rabbit), Sherilyn Fenn (2/1/1965, Aquarius Dragon) : The two actors dated for two and a half years before either found fame. Fenn has indicated on Instagram that she thinks fondly of her relationship with Depp, but the two do not keep in contact: "Simply the very first love of my life...After so many years it would be fun to talk. Yet, memories are enough as well."

George Orwell (6/25/1903, Cancer Rabbit), Graham Greene (10/2/1904, Libra Dragon) : The two authors were contemporaries writing in postwar Britain. Orwell's review of Greene's novel The Heart of the Matter has become an archetype of scathing criticism. Orwell writes, "I have not parodied the plot of the book. Even when dressed up in realistic details, it is just as ridiculous as I have indicated..."
