Leo Rooster and Scorpio Rat

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.

Nastassja Kinski (1/24/1961, Aquarius Rat), Quincy Jones (3/14/1933, Pisces Rooster) : The actor and music producer lived together for four years until 1995 and had a daughter, the model Kenya Kinski-Jones. Kinski described in 1997, "For me, Quincy was someone who told me what to do and what was right...He was always there when I needed him and someone I could talk to and argue with. In a Freudian way he was the father I never had...It is a bit of an obstacle because you want to grow together in a healthy relationship...But I'm grateful for the time we had. I'm sure being with Quincy helped me become a better mother, a better human being."

Marlon Brando (4/3/1924, Aries Rat), Elia Kazan (9/7/1909, Virgo Rooster) : The actor and director collaborated multiple times, including on the classic films A Streetcar Named Desire and On the Waterfront. Speaking about the legendary scene in On the Waterfront where Brando's character says, "I could've been a contender," Kazan described: "I didn't direct that scene, really....They're perfectly-written lines [by screenwriter Budd Schulberg]. And Marlon naturally took to them....I think [Brandon and I] had a instinctive fraternity. I think we understood each other, almost from the word go, very well. And we would talk a lot about other things, but not a hell of a lot about the role...[H]e didn't need much instruction....[I'm not] being falsely modest. I think I'm a damn good director and have been a damn good director. But in this scene, I didn't direct that scene much - very little. I just put them there and so on."

Meghan Markle (8/4/1981, Leo Rooster), Prince Harry (9/15/1984, Virgo Rat) : The British prince and US actor married in 2018 and have two children. They have dominated the news during the early 2020s, including notably an interview with Oprah Winfrey, the Netflix documentary series Harry & Meghan, and the publication of Harry's book, Spare. Early in the relationship, Prince Harry described: "I fell in love with Meghan so incredibly quickly — it was a confirmation to me that all the stars were aligned. This beautiful woman literally tripped and fell into my life. I fell into her life and the fact that she will be unbelievably good at the job part of it as well is obviously a huge relief to me because she'll be able to deal with everything else that comes with it."

Thandie Newton (11/6/1972, Scorpio Rat), Ol Parker (6/2/1969, Gemini Rooster) : The actor and director married in 1998 and have three children together. Newton has described: "[Parker is] [s]oooo calm. And we laugh, because I take the piss out of him. You know: shoulder-shrugging: 'It’s OK, babe.' And he takes the piss out of my … What would you describe it as? Highly emotional. As I’m thinking, the words will come. I don’t stop and think.' [with mock grandeur] Never been my way! That’s what it’s like in our house. A lot of music as well."

Ben Affleck (8/15/1972, Leo Rat), Jennifer Lopez (7/24/1969, Leo Rooster) : The two actors were one of the highest-profile couples in the world when they dated and got engaged in the early 2000s. After separating and building families with other partners, they reunited in 2021 and married in 2022. Lopez wrote about their wedding: "When he saw me appear at the top of the stairs that moment it both made absolute sense while seeming still impossibly hard to believe, like the best dream, where all you want is never to awaken...when I got close enough to see his face, it made the same wonderful sense to me. Some old wounds were healed that day and the weight of the past finally lifted off our shoulders. Full-circle — and not at all the way we planned it. Better."

Bridget Everett (4/21/1972, Taurus Rat), Amy Schumer (6/1/1981, Gemini Rooster) : The two comedians have been frequent collaborators, with Everett appearing in the Schumer-written film Trainwreck and all three finales of the show Inside Amy Schumer. Everett was asked in an interview about Schumer's rejection of the label "plus-size" being applied to her. Everett responded: "[Schumer's] reaction was just she's not plus size because she's not plus-sized...I am plus size. I am a big girl...Amy was the first person to tell me that I look beautiful and strong. There is no negative connotation to her about somebody being plus size. We never discussed this, but knowing Amy, I know that she doesn't want young girls or women that look up to her thinking that they are plus size — or fat — when they are a physically fit, strong size six to eight. It makes no sense...Amy is slim and trim and rock-hard and ready to go."
