Leo Rooster and Capricorn Monkey

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."

Jared Kushner (1/10/1981, Capricorn Monkey), Ivanka Trump (10/30/1981, Scorpio Rooster) : The couple married in 2009, and have three children. They became one of the highest profile couples in the world when they both worked as senior White House advisers during the presidency of Trump's father, President Donald Trump. Ivanka Trump described in 2015: "[Kushner's] own dreams are bold, and I love that in someone, but he’s incredibly relaxed and calm. The world could be collapsing around him, and nothing fazes him. He’s very solution oriented. Plus, it was nice finding someone who is a genuinely good person. I don’t take that for granted. I feel really lucky to have met, like, a great New Jersey boy."

George Lucas (5/14/1944, Taurus Monkey), Marcia Lucas (10/4/1945, Libra Rooster) : The director and film editor were married from 1969 to 1983. They had an adopted child together. The couple famously collaborated on the Star Wars trilogy, with Marcia Lucas winning an Academy Award for her editing work. Marcia described in 1983: "I love editing and I’m real gifted at it. I have an innate ability to take good material and make it better, or take bad material and make it fair. I’m compulsive about it. I think I’m even an editor in real life."

Venus Williams (6/17/1980, Gemini Monkey), Serena Williams (9/26/1981, Libra Rooster) : The sisters are two of the most successful professional tennis players in the history of the game. Venus Williams described in 2021: "I think we're each other's hero. I know that I'm the oldest sister so it's different, but [Serena is] in the sense that she's my younger sister and she's the only one [of my siblings] younger than me. So she's the only one that I have to like 'take care of.' So she's my, everything in that sense. And she's the best younger sister you could ever have. She's so protective. And I learned so much from her on, off the court and I couldn't have been the person that I am or won any titles really without cause I watched her."

Kim Kardashian (10/21/1980, Libra Monkey), Pete Davidson (11/16/1993, Scorpio Rooster) : The media personality and comedian formed a high-profile couple when they dated between 2021 and 2022. In 2022, Kardashian described: "It feels good just to know that, like, [Davidson and I] have this connection and we have our little bubble of a relationship world that we live in that, like, not a lot of people know about. We were driving in the car yesterday and I just, like, looked at him and I was like, 'Thank you.' And he was like, 'What?' And I was like, 'For running errands with me, like, this is so much fun just to go to a doctor’s appointment or go to the dentist and just, like, run errands. I’m having so much fun.'"

Kylie Minogue (5/28/1968, Gemini Monkey), Nick Cave (9/22/1957, Virgo Rooster) : The two Australian singers became friends after they collaborated on the song, 'Where The Wild Roses Grow' (1996), which they have continued to perform live together since. Minogue has described: "Everything I did with [Cave] was just so tender and epic and close. He’s so amazing and loving, and it’s one of my favourite things I’ve ever done. He’s definitely infiltrated my life in beautiful and profound ways."

21 Savage (10/22/1992, Libra Monkey), Metro Boomin (9/16/1993, Virgo Rooster) : The rapper and producer have established one of the most prolific and successful collaborations in contemporary hip-hop, including the EP, Savage Mode (2016), and the albums, Without Warning (2017) (with Offset), and Savage Mode II (2020). The narration for Savage Mode II, spoken by Morgan Freeman, includes this introduction: "Great men with great ideals can be separated by hundreds or even thousands of miles and still be in the same place. They can be years or even generations apart in age. And yet, somehow, find themselves on the exact same page. When these men join forces to put the focus of reaching the same goals, to attain the same outcomes, they are not two, but one. Instead of simply adding one's common attributes to another's, they somehow tend to multiply all attributes of both. Whether from [Metro Boomin's home] St. Louis or [21 Savage's home] East Atlanta, whether from a savage land or a booming metropolis, whether they are two or two billion, the greatest their numbers could ever become, is to truly become one."

Miley Cyrus (11/23/1992, Sagittarius Monkey), Ariana Grande (6/26/1993, Cancer Rooster) : The two singers share a strong friendship, and famously performed together at the One Love Manchester benefit concert in 2017. Referencing their performance, Cyrus said: "Ariana’s an open book. She has always shared her experiences with this beautiful blend of reality and the fantasy that pop culture requires. But holding her in my arms that night and feeling her shake from the loss of lives, literally feeling her heart pounding against mine – when you can let down the personas and cry with the rest of the world, it’s unifying. It’s a reminder that music can be our greatest healer."
